Just a few things I've learned since living down south...

Fair warning...for those that are VERY sensitive this may be offensive, here we go: 

1.)  Sweet tea is, in fact, the equivalent to liquid cocaine. 

2.) Alligator ain't half bad, if fried. 

3.) Pepsi?  What's that? 

4.) It is common to see a church on every corner, however, unlike Buffalo it is uncommon to see a bar on the other corner. 

5.) They don't sell booze on Sundays...EVER!  

6.)  Defensive driving has a whole new meaning...

7.)  They have property tax on your vehicle...$250 for everyone $10,000 that your car is worth...no I in fact did not stutter. 

8.)  As long as you begin a sentence with "Bless her/his heart..." everything stated afterwards is totally acceptable.  For example,  "Bless her heart she has no idea that she's a skanky low-class slut who can't count to 10 on a good day."....and you think I made that up?  

9.)  Speak clearly and slowly...I never thought it was true until I lived here. 

10.) It's not exactly "cool" to be a Buffalo Bills fan...wait...when is it ever really "cool" to be a Buffalo Bills fan? 

11.)  Being a "freelancer" doesn't sound as cool as it does up north

12.)  It's 11 p.m. on a Saturday, I'm at a bar...why am I the only one sober and for that reason why is everyone leaving?  

And lastly...

13.)  It's not as cool as you would think to broadcast to an entire bar that you're a Yankee...

On that note.   I can't beat this weather.
