From 
silverautomatic though I found it on a few other users' journals. Can't find my home town, so I'll do my home state.
1. Go to Google and type, "You know you're from (your city or state) when...." (hit "I'm feeling lucky")
2. Cut and paste the list.
3. Bold the items that apply to you.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM SOUTH CAROLINA IF...
1. You've never met any celebrities. (I have, though you might not know who they are/were.)
2. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on the highway.
(No, though I know someone who almost collided with a stray cow.)
3. "Vacation" means going to the family reunion.
4. You've seen all the biggest bands ten years after they were popular.
5. You measure distance in minutes. (Nope. I use miles and major roads.)
6. You know several people who have hit a deer. (I have. Didn't get my bag limit because I ran out of cars!)
7. Your school classes were canceled because of cold. (...Almost. They've been canceled on account of snow and ice a few times, but hurricanes are the most common offenders.)
8. Your school classes were canceled because of heat. (I never saw that happen!)
9. You've ridden the school bus for an hour each way.
10. You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C"
in the same day. (AND BACK!)
11. You think ethanol makes your truck "run a lot better."
(If I had a truck, it might have held up to hitting a second deer...)
12. You know what's knee-high by the Fourth of July.
13. Stores don't have bags; they have sacks.
14. You see people wear bib overalls at funerals.
15. You see a car running in the parking lot at the store with no one in it no matter what time of the year.
16. You use "fix" as an adverb. Example: I am fixing to go to the store.
17. All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, plants, or animal.
18. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.
19. You think of the major four food groups as beef, pork, beer, and Jell-O salad with marshmallows.
20. You carry jumper cables in your car. (Despite having a much more reliable car now. I keep 'em around to give people jump starts.)
21. You know what "cow tipping" and "snipe hunting" is.
22. You only own 3 spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup.
23. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.
24. You think sexy lingerie is a tee shirt and boxer shorts.
25. The local paper covers national and international headlines on one page but requires 6 pages for sports.
26. You think that deer season is a national holiday. (I don't, but I know lots of people that do...)
27. You know which leaves make good toilet paper.
28. You know that going "barefootin" is one of the great joys of life. (Not advisable around here. Too much pavement, gravel, broken glass, hot sand, and don't forget chiggers.)
29. You find 90 degrees Fahrenheit "a little warm."
30. You know all 4 seasons: Almost Summer, Summer, Still Summer, and Christmas. (Still Summer is when the hurricanes show up.)
31. You know if another South Carolinian is from the Low Country, the Sand Hills, or the Piedmont section of South Carolina, as soon as they open their mouth.
Horry County doesn't have an accent per se as much as a pattern: they speak in a very fast and choppy mumble.
32. There is a Dairy Queen in every town with a population of 1000 of more, except for Orangeburg which has Dairy-O.
33. You actually get these jokes and forward them to all your friends from SC.
