Where You Are From
Ok..I was looking at the "You Know Your From _________ When...." things and I come to the realization that around this area, we are more in common with Kentucky than Virginia...Just found it interesting
You Know You're From Kentucky When...
No matter how much you think you talk normally, when you head up North they all think you talk like a redneck
Your English teacher says things like "Y'all" and "Ain't Got None"
The best restaurant in town is the Cracker Barrel
No matter how bad UK's basketball team is, you still belive they'll pull it off and make it to the Final 4
You still believe the South should be it's own nation
You believe the Civil War was not a far fight
It's not an uncommon site to see a fat man in overalls and a cowboy hat drivin' down the road in a beat up Chevy with a confederate flag hangin' off the back with music from Johhny Rebel blastin' out of his radio
Biscuits, gravy, and grits is your favorite breakfast
Wakin' up with coons and squirrels on your back porch is not an uncommon thing
To you, huntin' aint killin', its sorta like grocery shoppin'
You own at least 10 country or southern rock cd's
You only own a pair of church shoes and winter shoes
In the summer you don't wear shoes
Even your grandmother chews tobacco
You consider the northern part of the country "The Union"
A rebel flag doesn't simbolize racism to you
Your church parking lot is filled with pickups
The first words out of your mouth every time you see friends are "Howdy!", "HEY!" or "How Y'all Doin'?"
You actually know who Toby Keith, Brooks& Dunn, Keith Urban, Montgomery Gentry, Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, Garth Brooks, and George Straight are.
A carbonated soft drink is a COKE, regardless of brand or flavor.
You refer to Louisville as "The Ville."
You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Kentucky.
