*Stores don't have bags; they have sacks.

*Stores don't have shopping carts; they have buggies.

*You see people wearing bib overalls at funerals.

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

*You carry jumper cables in your car ... for your OWN car.

*You know what cow tipping and snipe hunting is.

*You only own three spices: Tony's, ketchup, and Tabasco.

*The local papers covers national and international news on one page but requires 6 pages for sports.

*Going to Wal-Mart is a favorite past time known as goin wal-martin or off to Wally World.

*You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good gumbo weather.

*A carbonated soft drink isn't a soda, cola, or pop... it's a Coke, regardless of brand or flavor.

*You can be satisfied with a meal consisting only of a hunk of bread with flavored flour and water (a delicacy known as biscuits n' gravy)

The funny thing is that I could relate very well to each of those. I'm still laughing. :D

Sounds like Naturally Nawlins. Got off the banket to walk to the neutral ground.

You stare at a can of orange juice because it says "Concentrate."

You mow the lawn and find a car.

You go to family reunions to pick up women.

"I think you are talking about mississippi, Rednecks"

Naaaahh, I know my Lu-zee-anna rednecks.
I know my Colorado rednecks, too. Sweaters and shorts with the cowboy hats, uh-huh.

You go out and "make some groceries"

When it starts to rain, you pull over to the side of the interstate and wait

It's not called a freeway, either

If you want to get somewhere quickly, just turn on your four-way flashers and people will move out of the way

We don't have inspection stickers, we have "brake tags"

Drive-thru daquiries!!
