Hey, there's nothing wrong from that. I was born in Louisville, KY. Grew up outside of New Orleans, LA. Finished High School in Memphis, TN. And went to College at Ole Miss.
If that ain't a southern boy, I don't know what is... I have many friends that you Yankees would think are Hillbillies.
I was born in Maine but raised in the city. Let me just say that I can relate with Tank if what you say is true. Something is just in the water here in Maine. Noone could ever understand why I was so big. My mother is from Europe (Country not to be named) and is barely hitting 5 feet tall and my father is from Philadelphia and just barely hits 6 feet. I'm 6'4" with a frame that doctors can't place me in.
My mother jokes that I used to think flintstones vitamins were candy and used to eat a bottle a day. Then again............maybe I did?
