    Interesting little deal

    http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2...-quiz-map.html

    Mine came up with Okie City and Springfield as the top two. And for some reason, Tallahassee, FL as the third.

    Pretty cool though.

    Tried it again and it worked. My mom's family was from Georgia, which may account for 1 & 3. I lived and went to h/s in Mississippi which may account for 2. (?) My "score" ...

    1) AUGUSTA-RICHMOND (Georgia)
    2) JACKSON (Mississippi)
    3) COLUMBUS (Georgia)

    Good lord... this thing is rigged

    No wonder people make fun of me in Northern Virginia. I've lived here most every day of my life, save 4 years in the Army. ALL my kin is from Southwestern Va.

    Interesting word, hokum. Pretty sure that puts you in Appalachia and I don't mean that in a flattering way

    Where's Bubba? It'd be interesting to see if it pegs him somewhere in Yankee-land.

    I was just checking in to see if he had posted! Wow brilliant minds think alike.
    I'm sure he is probably checking his eyelids for holes right about now.
