Yankee ? or Rebel ? Test
Posted by dbaker48 on Monday, February 13, 2006 12:16 AM
[:-^] [:-,] Their has been so much commotion on about this topic, I have been confused as to who is where. Thought that maybe I could help the situation by suggesting this brief test.

After all I am sure the 5 star generals: Buckeye, Spankybird, the Chief and Roy (I'm not sure how the all you other guys line up TMCC, Laz, etc) Both groups appear to have plenty of 5 stars, US SLICKSLEEVES, ONE AND TWO STARS ARE OVERWHELMED.

So with the test you should be able to identify prevent any surprises as to who is where.

(Suggest posting test resutlts on this thread)

52% Dixie. Barely in Dixie. In reality, I'm about 100 miles above the Mason/Dixon line. The guy in my signature (Jimmie Rodgers) was from Meridian, Mississippi, though, so I guess we know where my heart is!

49% Dixie. I live in Gettysburg, home of the Yankee's great victory, but I was born South of the Mason-Dixon line in South Bawlmer (Baltimore for you Yankee - types).

Have a great day Hon.[;)]

Had to give this a try!
My Grandfather was from North Carolina. So even though I was born in the UK
I think of my self as 25% American.
Grandad never said which side the family was on[;)].
Guess I am 25% yank 75% Limey


34% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

Since I now live in Northern Virginia, I'd probably have joined Lee's Army of Northern Virginia! Perhaps driven a train something like this...

30% y'all [#oops] Didn't quite beat Buck, but close.

I didn't see any questions about hockey. Personally, I don't think it should be played south of the Mason Dixon line. [swg]

I'm back!
