Jun. 22nd, 2004 12:28 amYou know you're from Georgia if:
1. You measure distance in minutes.
Every day!
2. You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
Usually in the Fall.
3. Stores don't have bags; they have sacks.
I spent my misspent youth at a store called the Pac-a -Sac.
4. You see a car running in the parking lot at the store with no one in it, no matter what time of the year.
This is one of the great unexplained things of the universe.
5. You use "fix" as a verb. Example: "I'm fixing to go to the store."
Too true
6. All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, insect or animal.
7. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.
Not here, but they do in Savannah
8. You carry jumper cables in your car ... for your OWN car.
Yes I do, but it's a truck.
9. You know what "cow tipping" is.
Know it , haven't done it.
10. "Jeet?" is actually a phrase meaning "Did you eat?"
No? well let's go get some suppper then.
11. Sweet Iced Tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it when you're two.
It IS the nectar of the Gods after all.
12. You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.
No, but I have many relatives who do
13. You find 100 degrees Fahrenheit "a little warm."
14. You know all four seasons: Almost summer, summer, still summer, and Christmas.
It's prime brain baking season right now.
15. If it grows, it sticks; if it crawls, it bites.
And both without mercy.
16. Going to Wal-Mart is a favorite past-time known as "goin wal-martin" or off to "Wally World."
My mother's favorite pastime
17. You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good chili weather.
18. A carbonated soft drink isn't a soda, cola, or pop... it's a Coke, regardless of brand or flavor. Example "What kinna coke you want?"
Is there something besides Coke?
19. Fried Catfish is the other white meat.
20 "Backards and forwards" means I know everything about you.
Yep.
21.It is not a shopping cart, it is a buggy.
