Well, Tennessee – we know you probably get some super strange questions from time to time (all the time?). We decided to get a bunch of them together, just for a good belly laugh. Because we think they’re annoying too.
- How do you deal with the southern humidity?
Huxglyph / Flickr Very, very carefully. It’s a rough thing.
- Tennessee…where is that again?
Stuart Rankin / Flickr It’s really not that difficult to remember, but somehow people can’t get southern US geography right.
- Have you always talked like that…?
Paul & Keri / Flickr Yes, and we’re proud of it. Our culture is the best - bar none.
- What SEC team do you root for?
Matthew Tosh / Flickr Well. Definitely not Alabama. Why is that picture even up THERE!?!
- Oh, Tennessee. So you’re from Nashville?
Brent Moore / Flickr Tennessee does NOT only equal Nashville. We’ve got Memphis and Knoxville and Kingston and Chattanooga and Pegram and Spring Hill and Franklin and need we go on?
- Do you like country music?
Sean Davis / Flickr Yes. As well as rap, jazz, pop, ’80s hair metal…
- Didn’t it flood down there once?
Tabitha Kaylee Hawk / Flickr May of 2010 - we’ve only gotten stronger since.
- Is it true you guys can’t deal with weather?
Megan Morris / Flickr Unfortunately, yeah. We aren’t too great at it. Just check the Nashville snowstorm earlier this year - the writer of this article MAY have slid off the road. Maybe. Yes.
- My best friend moved to Nashville! Do you know them?
Kyle Simourd / Flickr Well. We’re going to say no. Because Kingston Springs is not Nashville and we don’t know the entire state.
- Did you grow up on a farm?
Rachel Melton / Flickr Unfortunately, we all weren’t the lucky few on farms. Believe it or not, Tennessee suburbs are real.
- Do you know Taylor Swift?
GabboT / Flickr Here’s the thing - one? She’s from Pennsylvania. Two? No. Maybe we walked by her in a grocery store once…? Or not.
- So…do you fly the Confederate flag?
FauxoDgt / Flickr Too soon, buddy. Too. Soon.
- That’s where the Grand Ole Opry is, right?
Timothy Wildey / Flickr Yep! We’re proud to be carrying on the tradition of country music - the genre that tells real good stories with even better guitar pickin'.
Thoughts? Yes, no, maybe? Let us know the questions YOU get asked in the comments below!
