Bless your heart....give it time...before long you'll prefer your tea sweet.
Basic test results: 53% Dixie. Barely in Dixie
Advanced test results: 22% Dixie. You are a dandy Yankee Doodle.
I either spent too much time watching Dukes of Hazzard. Or not enough.
Two questions the test might have asked are:
When you were young, what did you call your father?
Dad
Daddy
Pop (or Pops)
Sir
By his first name
As an adult, what do you call your father?
Dad
Daddy
Pop (or Pops)
Sir
By his first name.
"35% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee."
I was once asked, "If you were to have lived during the Civil War, who would you have fought for?"
My answer was neither, I'd already be out west in the Rocky Mountains, looking for Gold, Silver, Cattle, Land, etc. I do however, respond well to the advances of southern women.

C. Grampa
D. Pe-Paw
E. Pappy
What do you call the mother of your father?
A. Grandmother
B. Grand-mom
C. Gramma
D. Me-Maw
E. Nana
Any question about sweet tea or a porch versus a deck.
Of course, Lewis Grizzard (RIP)and Jeff Foxworthy have been able to point out southern-isms for a long time now.

If Bobby Lee was your 'grandfather', you're a hell of a lot older than I thought you were. So...just what number was that recent birthday? :confused:

Note - my grandfather was born in 1887 in Texas - my great-grandfather was born in 1861 in Texas - my great-great-grandfather was born in 1818 in Tennessee, settled in Texas in 1838, and a corporal in I Co 13th Texas Cav Rgt "Burnett's Mounted Volunteers."

Born in Nawlins, raised in Guffport.Missippy, and the only time I lived above the M-D line was three years in Pittsburgh (You'ens). Just shows what happens when a southern boy goes to college.

Since my great great grand-father was a private in the Confederate Army in Virginia, I might have joined Mosby's (The Gray Ghost) Rangers......on the other hand, might have joined some of the other ancestors and hid out in the Great Dismal Swamp for 4 years.

Well that is confusing. Damn good thing that they did not ask about how I tend to spell certain words, like “addresse, colour, tyre, blonde”, etc. Then they would be confused, also.
I lived in the heart of Appalachia for a bit once. It took a while to regularly understand the locals, about six months. One of the locals who I was friends with accused me of having an accent. I asked him how many times he has had to ask me to repeat myself over the last few months, and he said, "Not once." I then asked him how times per day I ask him to repeat himself and he said, "about a dozen or so times." I then asked him how is it that he understands all that I say, but I do not understand him most of the time and yet I have the accent. He thought about it for a bit and then came to the conclusion that it was he that had the accent. We got along even better after that.

Ever try cheese grits? It'll change your outlook.
The only time I ever had it/them was in Alabama and they were soaked in butter and tasted like butter-flavored wall-paper paste. Blech. But I'm willing to admit there might be better ways to prepare -- maybe TS can come up with a recipe.
Try making "carcked wheat" mush. 1 part wheat, 2 parts water. The secret is bringing the water to boil similar to when you prepare rice. Add wheat, turn down the heat, cover, wait. When the water is gone, its done. So simple a cowboy could do it.
Serve warm in a bowl, add milk, fresh cream, honey or brown sugar. An early morning bowl of wheat mush will carry you to 2pm.

Team Sergeant
07-24-2011, 11:48
I didn't get the same results............
Team Sergeant "You are a Spartan!"
Be proud! You have endured unbelievable pain and hardship to become a superior Spartan soldier and citizen! Taken away from your parents at age 7, you lived a harsh and often brutal life in the soldiers barracks. You were beaten by older children who started fights to help make you tough and strong. You were often were whipped in front of groups of other Spartans, including your parents, but never cried out in pain.
You were given very little food, but encouraged to steal food, instead. If caught stealing, you were beaten. To avoid severe pain, you learned to be cunning, to lie, to cheat, to steal, and how to get away with it!
Some of you are members of the Spartan secret police and enjoy spying on slaves. If you find a slave who is showing signs of leadership, you have orders to kill them immediately. You are fierce, capable, and proud of your strength. You know you are superior and are delighted to be Spartan!
91% and 100%...parents from Virginia, HS in Alabama, collige in Georgia, grad school at Bragg...no wonder my GF and I sometimes speak different languages (she's from OH...)
For those who dismiss grits - please do yourselves a favor and don't do so until you try cheese grits (as has been mentioned here previously) OR shrimp and grits (w/bacon) prepared in Savannah or Charleston or Italian grits...yes, Italian grits...a.k.a. as polenta...with reggiano parmigano !
Nothing like grits with lots of butter, salt, pepper, a couple or 3 runny eggs, biscuits and sausage gravy AND a side of bacon and black coffee.
All grits are not created equal ! Know'm sane?
Properly prepared grits is an art...I'm not saying I got it down but I do know good grits when I've had them.
P.S. NEVER eats instant grits...unless in an emergency.

Funny, being that I grew up on the West Coast I never even heard of them until I joined the Army in '81 and had them for breakfast at Ft. McClellan, Alabama.
Teddy Rosevelt loved cheese grits.

I had seen them served up in Army chow halls but had never tried them until I was in Phase 1 at Camp Mackall. You see, about every third day or so they would bring out a "hot" breakfast to us to supplement the C-rations. The food was cooked at a chow hall on Ft. Bragg, shoveled into Mermite Food Transportaion Containers, loaded onto trucks, driven out to Camp Mackall and then, eventually, served to us students. By the time that the food got onto our plates it was at least two hours plus since it had been cooked.
The Mermite cans were supposed to keep everything hot, but the only thing that was still a little warm by the time it got to us was the grits. Since I wanted something warm in my belly I added a little butter (which never really melted) and sugar to the grits and learned to not only appreciate them, but look forward to them.

This test is rigged, RIGGED I tell ya! How's a dyed in the wool honest to goodness Westerner and a Pacific Northwet-erner to boot, supposed to answer on this thing?
It needs questions like:
1. How do you pronounce Washington?
a. Waaashington
b. Warshington
c. Warshintun
2. How many geoducks do you eat in a year?
a. A WHAT?!?!?!?
b. Will not pass my lips - too damn ugly
c. Once or twice a year to impress the tourists
d. Every one I catch - whether in season or not.
3. On the weekends in June what do you do?
a. Go snow skiing or boarding
b. Go water skiing or boarding
c. Both

You're all a bunch of rebels...5% Dixie, basic and advanced tests.
Question #9 (basic test) is the defining question, and the type of roll used is critical.
An additional question should be "Have you ever eaten a red hot dog?".
Were I alive back when the country had to put down the Southern insurrection, I'd likely still be lying somewhere near Sergeant George Washington Buck a little southwest of Little Round Top.
