hey ya'll, watch this

My mom sent me this in an email, and most of it is so true it's eerie:

You know you are from Georgia if....(and a lot of these could apply to all Southern states)

1. You can properly pronounce Chickamauga, DeKalb, Dahlonega, Buena Vista, Valdosta, Okefenokee and La Fayette.
Who can't?

2. You think people who complain about the heat in their states are sissies.
They are. It's only really hot if you get second-degree burns from walking on the pavement barefoot. Otherwise, it's just warm.

3. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.
Sadly, I never saw one.

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.
So true! Nobody wants to get scalded by their seatbelt buckle.

5. You think everyone from a Yankee state has an accent.
Well, they talk funny, that's for sure.

6. You measure distance in minutes.
How far away is it? About 10 minutes.

7. You know cowpies are not made of beef.
Eww.

8. Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding date.
I totally know someone who did this. I also know several people who got mad at my first wedding because it was during football season.

9. Almost everyone you know is either Baptist or Methodist.
Or a former Baptist or Methodist, yep. Those are the biggest churches, too.

10. A Mercedes Benz isn't a status symbol. A Chevy Silverado Extended Bed Crew Cab is.
And yes, I totally want one.

11. You know everything goes better with Ranch dressing.
Carrots, potato chips, baked potatoes, french fries, celery...yeah, Ranch makes everything better.

12. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply.
I still have trouble with multiplication.

13. On one side of the road, there's a Wal-Mart, and on the other is a cotton field.
Or a cow pasture, either one.

14. The directions to your house include "turn off the paved road..."
Only because we couldn't afford to have them pave the whole driveway.

15. "Ya'll" is a word.
It's in the dictionary, therefore...

16. Krispy Kreme donuts are the only kind of donuts you eat.
Actually, if you're going to eat fried dough dipped in sugar and chocolate, I don't think it really matters who makes it. It's still going to kill you.

17. You call it a cold Christmas if you don't break out in a sweat in your new sweater.
Yeah, I usually can't wear my new sweaters until February.

18. Your whole town completely shuts down for 1 inch of snow or just the threat of snow.
And every grocery store runs out of bread and milk within five minutes of a snowstorm warning.

19. You know the difference between a hillbilly, a redneck, and a Southerner.
Everybody knows this. Don't they?

20. Panama City Beach is a big deal.
We went there every summer with the church youth group. You're damn straight it was a big deal.

21. You understand that at least once a year your car will turn yellow with pollen.
I wish it was only once a year.

22. You say, "tuna fish sandwich."
I don't get this one. It's got tuna fish in it and it's a sandwich, what else would you call it?

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

Hehe yep most of those ring true...although I don't know what my excuse is for not being able to do multiplication. Do you remember at my wedding one of my bridesmaids' boyfriends left the ceremony to go listen to the UT game on the radio in the car???
