Arkies Arkies Everywhere

Ok, I'm not everything in this list, but I do "get" nearly all of them:

You Know You're From Arkansas When...
  • "Vacation" means goin' through Harrison on the way to Branson.
  • You have no problem spelling or pronouncin' Ouachita or Possum Grape.
  • You know what Toad Suck and Booger Holler are.
  • You think orange barrels are really part of the interstate system.

Ellen's a little trickier, because she comes from north of NYC but south of "upstate". Probably it's a melange of the city, Long Island, and a wee bit of Westchester.

Of course, I'm completely wrong about all of that. Ellen doesn't even have an accent! Just ask her!

Oh, and I guess we've been in Virginia long enough, because this one's a scream:

  • Speed limits are just suggestions
  • You are amazed when you go out of town and the people at McDonalds speak English
  • If you stay on the same road long enough, it will eventually have three new names.

Ha!
