IMHO this Tennessean is wilder: Drunk 4 year old boy steals christmas presents and runs around neighborhood in a girl's dress with beer in hand. "The child, Hayden Wright, was found around 1:45 am Tuesday, wandering the streets of his neighborhood. In a police reports, officers said he was wearing a little girl's dress and drinking a beer. The police report says the child had to be taken to the hospital to be treated for alcohol consumption." | ||

Dad's in jail. Guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. (talking about the 4 year old drunk) (Message edited by aeholton on January 05, 2010) | ||

"her father's cooler" why am I not surprised she lives with her parent(s) In all fairness, little boys can be a handful. | ||

My favorite TN story: Some of our product supplied to a facility in Paris, TN was working less than perfectly & they sent me down to see what I could do. People from the company picked me up & took me on a tour of the area, showing me where all the recent homicides were. | ||

We're crazy here in TN. Is that a problem?  | ||
| Edgydrifter |
In TN's defense, I'm compelled to say that I've never been anywhere--anywhere in the world--where people were friendlier than Tennessee. Coming from the PNW, where we tend to be a bit standoffish and avoid eye contact with strangers, it took a while to get over the suspicion that I was being set up. Nope, just genuine friendliness and courtesy. I know--weird, right? | ||

I find that people who have moved to Tennessee rarely leave. | ||

Just don't expect that kind of hospitality on a dirt back road thirty miles from nothing when you hear banjo music!  | ||
| Etennuly |
I find that people who have moved to Tennessee rarely leave. Yeah.....after you have been here a while you cannot afford to leave! | ||
| Ferris_von_bueller |
There is some truth to that. It's much easier, financially, to move from say, New York to Tenn. than it is the other way around. | ||

Of course we are happy.....we have some really good water!     | ||

Ha ha, my cousin-in-law moved here from Boston, MA. When we go riding, I tell him not to talk to anyone at the convenience stores when we stop for gas in the middle of nowhere. (Message edited by Eaton_corners on January 06, 2010) | ||

Remind me sometime to tell you some stories from when I moved to East TN in the 6th grade. | ||
| Midknyte |
Ok, consider yourself reminded... | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
Yeah, some of the backwoods folk are NOT human friendly. Has a lot to do with protection of pot groves, stills, and meth labs. You have these folks everywhere. The rest of the folks in TN make up for it. The scenery ain't bad either:     | ||

West Virginia is "Wild and wonderful". | ||

Ft bstrd, is that Cades Cove? Me... borned and raized in Sparta, TN. The first time I took my wife(from PA) home with me she asked me after a day or so why was everybody waving at us when we drive around. "That's jus whut we do I rekon." I replied. She has since learned the waving rules but still can't say the city names right. | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
Don't know where it is. I see stuff like that riding around home. | ||

can't wait for the day that i move up yonder. | ||

Don't think I'd mind being a "half-backer" myself. B. | ||

Living in Nashville has been so darn good, I'm mainly just mad I didn't get here sooner. Tennessee is the land of opportunity for me. Work hard, do right, and you'll live well. | ||

Geez, what's with all the terrain, scenery, morals, and rugged individualism?! No thanks, I'll stay here in the land of Paul Bunyan, pseudo-socialism, and 10,000 flakes--where hard work and integrity guarantee you stay in your rut and you'll get almost five months of riding between snow and frozen hell. Time to relocate, methinks.  | ||

Go outside on a winter night, climb to the top of a "hill" and the sky looks different than it does up north. It looks three dimensional. Some stars seem closer than others. Just looks like sky to the locals. | ||

My aforementioned cousin-in-law told me even though He wasn't born in the South, He got here as quick as He could. And, since He has been here about 15 years now, He is officially a damn yankee. | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
Low taxes, friendly people, great weather, beautiful country, good jobs. I dunno. I think we'll be capturing a few more folks as time goes on. | ||
| Nevrenuf |
halfback, yea, that's what i wanna be. originally from pittsburgh area and have no desire to go back there. to many taxes, roads suck anywhere you have a city it seems like. people aren't nearly as friendly as they are in tennessee with a few exceptions here on the badweb. and if i'm gonna freeze like i am right now here in tampa, i'd just as well do it up there where i can at least look at some prettier country. | ||
| Etennuly |
Halfback is where I have been for eleven years. From NW Pa. Did the 'damn yankee' thing for 17 years in Tampa area. I don't mind the 'halfback' thing at all. Jeremy forgot to mention great roads for admiring the beautiful scenery. Well.....as long as you remember to slow down and look once in a while. |
