easy, go to LA. there's ONE culture in tennessee, and it all revolves around being in the "first" church of whatever. seriously, there's four churches on the closest main road, all of them are "first" there's gotta be something in the water, because there's no good reason this state should be such a dungeon of ignorance and despair.
the first job i had here was at a grocery store. i'm minding my own business putting pizzas in the freezer, when old jim cracker walks up to me and says in this really raspy voice "i know you're young, but you're not a B.O. supporter, are you?" and i'm like "lolwut?" and he says (phonetically) "yer-a-bar-hock-who-sane-oh-bam-ah-fan, haintcha?" when i told my manager about it, who was from across the river in Mokena, her horrified expression looked like it matched my own. even if that person is representative of 5% of the state population, that's 5% that will go to school, have jobs, have kids, and run for congress. i really wanted to tell him i was hoping to be the first gay jewish mayor of Food City, but it probably would have killed him.
and this guy didn't even buy a pizza.
