Southron
I borrowed this from Brandon -- another Texan -- who outdid me with a score of 84 percent "Southerliness." For some strange reason, I'm jealous.
| Kinda Southern You are 65% true Southern! |
| You're okay at this Southern thing, but you've got a long way to go. You've never had a fried turkey for thanksgiving and you have no idea what a Moon Pie is or what the "RC" in RC Cola would stand for, if you'd ever heard of it to begin with. But you're pretty straight on the Southern attitude, if not specifics on the culture.
I would suggest spending a summer down here, but you might melt if you're outside absorbing local color. Um, maybe winter break you could come thaw out Southern-style. You could see a Living Nativity or Singing Christmas Tree. And eat grits with Christmas dinner. |

They always get these things all wrong.

Fun quiz to start the day - I'm also more southern than you (when the quiz options are considered this is probably due, in part, to the age difference--but a lady shouldn't admit her age, right?)

I had another thought. I haven't been in a living nativity but I have spent spent several evenings as part of a Singing Christmas Tree outside of our church in Dallas when I was in my teens. It was a bit strange but harmless :)

What on earth is a Singing Christmas Tree?

Do you wanna tell her, or should I?
The thoughts of Wilson on 27 April 2006 - 15:17 Central+ + + + +
Well, I suppose we should ask if she knows what a Christmas Tree is, and if she is aware of what singing is. Has she seen The Three Amigos? If not, I recommend she refer to that film. It has a singing bush which she could use for reference.
We can work with this.

I know what a Christmas Tree is, and have even been caught singing myself. However, I have no knowledge of this The Three Amigos of which you speak.
*envisions small children holding fir branches, singing, and... uh...*
Yeah, I'm pretty much stuck there.

Maybe this will stimulate creative thinking. Or this, for a fuller view.

Ardith- Consider the picture provided by Wilson only larger, outside, with "real" greenery attached and give the "singing heads" early 70's hairstyles and you come closer to my experience - I really wish I had a picture but we didn't bother with many pictures since our camera at the time was a Kodak Instamatic with flashcubes :)

I am now enlightened.
See, I've seen a Live Nativity here in Iowa. Singing Christmas Tree... no.

Haha. I'm 83% southern, but the description is totally wrong for me. Sure, I grew up and lived in the south, but this SO not my grandmother: "lives in an antebellum home and has a cook who makes the best fried chicken and asparagus casserole and summer squash and everything else in the world."
Oh well.
