<p>Okay this is just for fun. I think I’ve been listening to Jamzmom and aspen too much lately as I’m only 48%Yankee.</p>

<p>I’m 52% Dixie. I’ve lived a lot of years in the West, but also lived in Philadelphia and Atlanta, so I must be part of the big melting pot.</p>
<p>momoftwins: Congratulations, Sister, on your test results.</p>
<p>Fixin’ to take that quiz myself but, before I do, thought I would share some of the goings on at church last night.</p>
<p>Kids in Bible Study Class asked when they learned that Jesus fed the 5000, whether the two fish were bass or catfish, and what bait was used to catch 'em.</p>
<p>This year Opening day of deer season will be recognized as an official church holiday.</p>
<p>A member of the church requested to be buried in his 4-wheel-drive truck because “It ain’t never been in a hole it couldn’t get out of.” </p>
<p>In our congregation of 500 members, there are only seven last names in the church directory.</p>
<p>Our minister and his wife drive matching pickup trucks.</p>
<p>Preacher told the congregation that “Thou shalt not covet” applies to huntin’ dogs, too. </p>
<p>Time to go take that test. Wonder how I’ll do?</p>
<p>Everybody at work is staring at me because I’m laughing so loud. Or maybe because they think I’m so wierd to have so many Dixie friends. :p</p>
<p>A fellow from Boston was in Louisiana visiting family. One day he decided to take a walk around the area where his relatives lived to enjoy their fine, comfortable southern way of life-- something he was not accustomed to, being from the north.</p>
<p>While walking he happened upon a pit bull attacking a small child. His instincts took over, and he ran to the child’s aid. He grabbed the dog, pulled him from the child, and choked the dog until he was dead. As the dead animal lay at his feet, a man came running over from the other side of the street.</p>
<p>He announced that he was the star reporter for a big Louisiana newspaper, and he would make the rescuer famous. “LOUISIANA MAN SAVES CHILD FROM GRUESOME DEATH,” the headlines would proclaim.</p>
<p>The would-be savior thought that this sounded great, but explained that he was from Boston – not Louisiana. The next day the headlines of the Louisiana paper read: “YANKEE KILLS FAMILY PET.”</p>
<p>There hasn’t been a “Dixie” since 1865, when the Yankee’s set things straight once and for all :)</p>
<p>Dang! Grew up in Oregon, but spent the first three years of married life in Jesup, Georgia (courtesy of the US Navy–don’t ask) and I guess it rubbed off! 53% Dixie. Whoda thunk.</p>
<p>I still remember the first job I had down there, at K-Mart, where the manager asked me to do something “By the backs” I couldn’t figure out what he was talking about and kept asking him to repeat his request. After getting flustered at my apparent inability to understand a simple request, he said (raising his voice somewhat) THE BACKS! YOU KNOW, TWO WILLS, A KICKSTAND? THE BACKS!" Ohhhh, it was the kickstand that did it for me! I was working under the misapprehension that the vowel sounds in BIKE and WHEELS was somewhat similar to the name of the letter! Who knew it was actually a short a and short i respectively?</p>
<p>Live and learn! I did glean an excellent accent from the experience, though, and my students love it when I read stories aloud using it!</p>
<p>Thanks momoftwins, that was fun…but I’m only 41% Yankee!!!
How can that be? I have never lived south of the Mason/Dixie Line! Oh lordie!</p>
<p>Can’t wait to see Jamzmom’s input!</p>
<p>She better hurry and start the test. I’ll bet aspen is almost done by now. It’s been just under 5 hours.</p>
<p>Ya’ll aren’t gonna believe this… I’m 83% Dixie. HA! HA! I’ve been down here WAY too long! LOL I was totally shocked with my score being born a hoosier! I am laughing my head off about this. Wait till I tell my pals around here that say, “Hey, you ain’t from around here are ya?” Now I can tell them, “Yep! I’m Dixie as it gets!” LOL LOL</p>
<p>Shogun, you are mistaken. Dixie is alive and well. These people down here still call ya’ll Yankees and truly believe that the south will rise again. 
I seriously saw three rebel flags just today on our way to Charleston. I kid you not! LOL</p>
<p>This just cracks me up!</p>
<p>Y’all are in denial! Didn’t that last shipment of US History books make it down there yet?
:)</p>
<p>Shogun: We burnt all the history books along with those Devil-written biology books talking about evolution. Remember, one army’s defeat is another’s strategic retreat.</p>
<p>Momoftwins: Don’t rush me. I going as fast as I can on the test.</p>
<p>I scored a paltry 39% confirming my Yankee-ness…I supposed being from Connecticut has something to do with it.</p>
<p>Can I have a midwest re-do? Or the southern version, a do-over? Or the northern version, a re-take? I’m sure I’ll pass this time!</p>
<p>Or the Western version, a make-up test?</p>
<p>By the way, y’all aren’t talking about the War of Northern Aggression are you. That ended in a draw, right?</p>
<p>It ended? Fiddle-e-dee!</p>
<p>55% Dixie- just under the Mason Dixon line- go figure, I’m a yankee through and through- born and raised in NY no less-- so much for validity and reliability tests- thank goodness the SATs are not like this (???)…but had some fun anyways-
so I guess I’ll have to change my sign off~</p>
<p>good night y’all!</p>
<p>Jamzmom- before I forget- went to Burton and Doyles tonight- awesome- definately has moved to my #1 spot- hope u see this before u head up! (ps- gas today $3.89) :/</p>
<p>Thanks! Will move that place up on the list I’m taking with me! Following your advice to the letter since the chocolates were so outstanding! Not flying up till the 15th. 
I’m packed tho & waiting by the front door already! LOL</p>
<p>I scored a 67% I am defently Dixie</p>
