    You know you're from Tennessee when ...

      I know -- there are dozens of these already, but I couldn't resist ...

    You've never met any celebrities....other than Fred Thompson

    "Vacation" means going to the family reunion.

    You know all 4 seasons: Almost Summer, Summer, Still Summer and Christmas.

    You laugh when people from anywhere north of TN tries to say or spell "y'all"

    It's "Mar-vull" not "Mary-ville"

    It's "Knox-vull" not "Knox-ville"

    A tabogan is a hat, not a sled.

    You butter your hot biscuit by cutting it open, putting a slab of butter inside and closing it back up again.

    Every town in East Tennesse has a "strip" and they're not particularly safe to be in at night.

    Pigeon Forge is not pronounced with a French accent.

    Gatlinburg does have an "L" in it and it should be pronounced.

    Sales tax is 9.5%.

    You shop at Walmart for groceries, not at a grocery store.

    You don't drive in Knoxville on game-day. EVER.  (SO TRUE!!! Angry)

    You or your friends chew.

    You can't remember the last time you saw snow.

    You have a "piss on" sticker on your car window

    You know when Elvis Presley Day is

    You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Tennessee.

    why on earth would you think a tabogan is a sled? [:D]

    is there any other way to butter a biscuit? [:D]

    nah... you wear a taboggan, and you slide down a hill on a sled. [:D][:D]

    of course around here it is pronounced "tow-boggin" [:D]
