Thursday Thirteen # 30
Thirteen Reasons Why You Might Be In Georgia
1. You can properly pronounce Chickamauga, DeKalb, Dahlonega, and Smyrna.
2. You or someone you know does Civil War reenactments and / or owns a real cannon.
3. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.
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.
5. Stores don’t have bags or shopping carts, they have sacks and buggies.
6. You’ve seen people wear bib overalls at weddings and funerals.
7. You measure distance in minutes.
8. Some one you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding date.
9. You aren’t surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, beer, and bait all in the same store.
10. A Mercedes Benz isn’t a status symbol. A Chevy Silverado Extended Bed Crew Cab is.
11. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply.
12. You actually get these jokes and are “fixing’” to send them to your friends.
And finally:
13. You are 100% Georgian if you have ever had this conversation:
“You wanna coke?”
“Yeah.”
“What kind?”
“Dr Pepper”

Great big hugs!

I don’t know…some of those might make me think I was in Tennessee, which I am.
Fun list! My TT is up, too.
Laughing at # 13. I went to college in KY and NEVER got used to Pepsi and Coke not being called “pop.”
LOL! I’m not sure it’s much better here in TN.
Happy TT!
Too funny!
Thanks for sharing. 
Here in Germany, a Mercedes isn’t a status symbol either, since they are everywhere. A Porsche still is, though. 
LMAO—-You got that list right
Hope you are having a nice week.
As someone born and raised in Georgia – amen! Happy TT!!
I have got to sent this to my blog buddy, Grant!
LMAO!
LOL! Too funny!
happy T13!
oh my gosh…#2, my ex…need I say more? LOL
as for the shade…I did Georgia two years in a row in July for a trade show in the Galleria area…can you say HOT!
#3, #7, and definitely #13 are not just Georgia exclusives! I’m guilty of those too – must be a southern thing. Entertaining list! Loved it!
those were funny.
I got my extra CDs so I’m mailing one out to you for the answer to that singer I needed.
13. You are 100% Georgian if you have ever had this conversation:
“You wanna coke?â€
“Yeah.â€
“What kind?â€
“Dr Pepperâ€
SO TRUE! Hi from Duluth, GA
Too funny!! #7 sounds like North Carolina according to a friend of mine.
So,tell me – is it Albany, Ga. or ALLBenny?
Sounds like Georgia and Texas are a lot alike. But you have to be Texan to pronounce Nacogdoches, Iraan and Gruene right the first time. Oh and in Georgia is the noon meal “dinner” and the evening meal “supper”? Every good redneck cracker hillbilly knows only Yankees eat lunch.
These work for SE Texas too! LOL
very phunny
Won’t pretend to understand the whole list, but would like to visit Georgia one day!! Have a great weekend.
