"...but you're from Tennessee"

yes
I reside in Tennessee
and what of it?
because we all know that a person's personality is dictated
by their location

and so anyone from tennessee must be some backwoods racist homophobic prick
who listen's to country music in their pick up truck

so come one come all
to see the rogue Tennessean
who wears shoes
and brushes his teeth
and is able to read

be amazed at the fact that he is not married to his sister
nor his cousin
and was never molested by his uncle

gaze in wonder at the southerner who believes killing is not a sport
and doesn't try to justify wars based on fictiousius threats

frankly, it's people like you who make want to NOT go up north
