Where Are You From?

The above link was mailed by a friend.  I scored 50 percent Dixie, which makes me believe the divide in this country is more rural/urban than north/south.  The spine of Appalachia runs south/north.  A southwestern NYer has more in common with a fellow in Kentucky than the man in New York City or Boston.  See where you’re from.

    50% Dixie…so it says!

  2. Pat Patterson Says:

    48% Yankee. Must be all that midwest influence I get from eating hoagies and drinking pop.

  3. John B. Says:

    61% - Dixie. London, England, is my hometown, though. I wonder what this says of me. To Brits ALL Americans are ‘yanks’ but what do I know? Back home soda was pop, subs or hoagies were jumbo rolls, and those little creatures that roll into a ball when touched were wood lice.

  4. Nancy Cleveland Says:

    LOL…John B. Dundee, Scotland is my hometown but we had lemonade (all flavours) and then when Coke etc. came along it was soda. No such things as subs and hoagies while I lived there…just morning rolls for bacon sannies.

    100% Purebred Delawarean! 43 years north of the ditch, 8 years south of the ditch! All you others are illegal aliens. Gotta put a fence up to keep your kind out. Gotta make Delaware accent the official language of Delaware. Gotta wiretap your phones. Your type is a threat to our freedom and our way of life.

    Have a nice Easter, all, welcome to Delaware!

  6. Nancy Cleveland Says:

    ROFL! Nice try, Joe…lolol. Nope, I am a thirty-two year U.S. citizen (actually longer, now, than I was considered to be a Brit). Only thing I can’t do is run for President…bet that creates a sigh of relief over the county. ;).

    Hope, like you, all are enjoying this day…cool post, Joe.

    Yankee or Dixie?…

    I swiped this from WGMD’s Talk of Delmarva blog. Click here and take The Yankee or Dixie Quiz. My score:
    50% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.
    Aw man, if it would have been 50% Dixie I would feel a little better. Southern people are cool…

  8. John B. Says:

    I guess this makes us Brixies, then, Nancy.

  9. ccs79 Says:

    55 Dixie

  10. Nancy Cleveland Says:

    I’m Brixie Chick! Cool…I like it, John B. :)
