You're a True Tennessean If....

1. You can properly pronounce Ooltewah, La Vergne, Etowah and Maryville.

2. You think people who complain about the heat in their states are sissies.

3. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.

4. You know that the true value of a parking space is not determined by the distance to the door, but by the availability of shade.

5. Stores don't have bags or shopping carts, they have sacks and buggys.

6. You've seen people wear bib overalls at weddings and funerals.

7. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.

8. You measure distance in minutes.

9. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean.

10. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.

11. You know cowpies are not made of beef.

12. Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding date.

13. You know someone who has a belt buckle bigger than your fist.

14. You aren't surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, beer, and bait all in the same store.

15. A Mercedes Benz isn't a status symbol. A Chevy Silverado Extended Bed Crew Cab is.

16. You know everything goes better with Ranch.

17. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply.

18. You actually get these jokes and are "fixin'" to send them to your friends.

And finally:
19. You are 100% Tennessean if you have ever had this conversation: "You wanna coke?" "Yeah." "What kind?" "Dr Pepper."


That having been said, a lot of these apply in LA

Still cracks me up how many people mispronounce "Thibodaux" and when they hear it pronounced correctly think it's a different word. ;)

5, 11, and 13 can also apply to Pennsylvania. I believe I used a PA saying here once..."You can put a candle in a cowpie, but that don't make it a birthday cake..."

Big winged skull, from back in highschool, actually. I'll have to look into getting one custom made in the 'shroom shape. Might cost a bit.
