• Feb. 21, 2008 - A True Kentuckian
OK, I'm not saying that we're all like this, but boy oh boy, a bunch of these are TOTALLY true!
You're a True Kentuckian If....
1. You can properly pronounce: Louisville, Leitchfield, and Maryville. (Bonus points for Cadiz.)
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. (Someone reminded me that I should have put something in my A Day At My House entry about stray tornadoes!)
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. (Momma taught me that from a young age.)
5. Stores don't have bags or shopping carts, they have sacks and buggys. (I never say sacks. That one is off for me.)
6. You've seen people wear bib overalls at weddings and funerals.
7. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent. (Not as much as they think we do!)
8. You measure distance in minutes. (Always have. Always will.)
9. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean. (Not so much on this one. I know what an ocean is and Lake Barkley isn't one!)
10. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit. (Doesn't everyone though?)
11. You know cowpies are not made of beef. (Bonus points if you've ever played Cowpie Bingo)
12. Someone you know has used a basketball schedule to plan their wedding date. (These folks are completely nuts about UK basketball.)
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. (And I'd be mighty happy to have one!)
16. You know everything goes better with Ranch. (No. But I have noticed that!)
17. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply. (VERY true.)
18. You actually get these jokes and are "fixin'" to send them to your friends and finally:
19. You are 100% Kentuckian if you have ever had this conversation:
"You wanna coke?"
"Yeah."
"What kind?"
"Dr Pepper."
