I was scrolling through the web earlier when I found this article, linked below. 26 questions people from the south need to answer. I decided that, being from the south, I would take it upon myself to answer these questions.
Although I've been displaced for a few years, I still have quite a few quirks, like how I pronounce some words, my inability to drink tea that isn't 75% sugar, and adamantly believing that BBQ is a way of cooking pork, not the sauce you put on it (fight me). I don't mean for this to be serious, it's all for fun. So, enjoy!
