Local habits

Even in the south I hear the "twenty of five," or sometimes "twenty to five," which is even more annoying if you ask me.

I don't even know where to start. One thing I see a lot of is redneck guys walking around convenience stores with no shirt or shoes. They won't let people do that in grocery stores anymore, but you can apparently still get by with it in gas stations and convenience stores.

Also, people here use confederate flags as home and auto decor, which I don't get seeing as how the confederacy is no more. It's like displaying the flag of the former republic of Yugoslavia.

Everyone tans here. EVERYONE. Well, all the females over the age of 12 do. And then they wonder why they look like they're 50 when they're 30. Women here are usually very tan, very blonde and have fake nails. I see women like this everywhere I travel in the U.S., but not nearly as many of them as I see in my area of the country. White-blonde hair, brown skin and looooong acrylic nails. That is the portrait of a Southern Lady.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
