Does Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson, Dale Earnhardt (and all other race car drivers) count?



2. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on the highway.

Yup....



3. "Vacation" means going to the family reunion.

Umm, vacation here means you going deer hunting for the weekend.



4. You've seen all the biggest bands ten years after they were popular.

They have both now.



14. You see people wear bib overalls at funerals.

This doesn't happen anywhere else? I got to get out of state more often.



16. You use "fix" as an adverb. Example: I am fixing to go to thestore.

What are trying to say??? Actually it is "I am fixen to go to the store"



17. All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, plants, or animal.

You have not experienced the Watermelon festival or the Tobacco festival have we?



18. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.

We like to stay up and catch these people in the act. Nightly entertainment in most places.



19. You think of the major four food groups as beef, pork, beer, and Jell-O salad with marshmallows.

You forgot Deer! Also Macaroni and Cheese is one of my food groups!

Yeah, what's wrong with that?



21. You know what "cow tipping" and "snipe hunting"
is.

LOLOL! You got to try it!

Emeril's Essence is catching on.



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

This can be turned around, bigger city people think we have an accent.



24. You think sexy lingerie is a tee shirt and boxer shorts.

They have to be camouflage too!

No comment! :-)

It is! Then you have fishun!



27. You know which leaves make good toilet paper.

I haven't experienced that yet. Catawba tree leaves do fairly well I hear.



28. You know that going "barefootin" is one of the great joys oflife.

Especially when you can go in Wal-Mart and get away with it!



29. You find 90 degrees Fahrenheit "a little warm."

And 60 degrees to cold!



30. You know all 4 seasons: Almost Summer, Summer, Still Summer, and Christmas.

Can't disagree. Of course lately, we are rethinking that.



31. You know if another South Carolinian is from the Low Country, the Sand Hills, or the Piedmont section of South Carolina, as soon as they open their mouth.

Diverse group aren't we?



32. There is a Dairy Queen in every town with a population of 1000 of more, except for Orangeburg which has Dairy-O.
