Hard to spell. Hard to give a rat's ass about.

It is pretty hard to spell, isn't it?

I've never been, is it hot there? I always picture it to be really hot.

I've been to Nashville and Memphis. It was pretty fun :)

A whole lot of music history in these places.

I've only ever really been to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, which is a mixture of really beautiful mountains and countryside and an asshole of tourist attractions.

I've never been to Tennessee.

I have heard some amusing things (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaP164oTUug) about it though.

I tend to rank states on their education, which would make Tennessee the 10th worst state. California is the 5th worst. Tennessee is better than California.

Stupid fucking public schools...

Not really. It gets 100 at worst, but it's very rare. It's definitely warmer than New York, though.

I remember driving through Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge before and after having visited The Smokey Mountains National Park, and it was just really weird. Almost like driving through a wanna-be Las Vegas or something. It was totally over the top and didn't fit the scenery at all.

What a timely thread to announce this thing: Young & Free Tennessee - BLOG (http://www.youngfreetennessee.com/blog/)

This is the job I made you all vote for me for and won, only this one is in Tennessee. They just started accepting applications today.

My cousin is currently in a long-distance relationship with a guy from Tennesse. When she flew up to visit him, she greeted him with "you're the only Ten-I-see."

Uh...no. Dollywood still resides in Pigeon Forge (about ten miles from Gatlinburg. There is a (really crappy) Dollywood Outlet Mall nearby. (If that's what your talking about.)
What about that one that was in Nashville? I distinctly remember it. It was a Dolly-something or other. :colbert:
And now it's a shopping mall. http://www.nashville-charm.com/images/Opry-Mills.jpg

Dollywood was never in Nashville.

Not anymore ol' Chesty's gotten a breast reduction. :( Now the elementary kids have nothing vulgar to sing about:

The closest I've gotten to Tennesse was Branson, MO... Vegas for the Hicks. There were big bugs everywhere. I don't like not-west coast areas. D: How can all you people maaaaannnagggge? D:!

I have a personal vendetta against this state, making it the worst state in the country - by far.

I also think that pesky UK Island is far more over rated.

Russia is underrated, and under-appreciated.

I have never been to Tennessee, but my former college roommate of two years had close relatives there, and would visit regularly (several times a year, at least). He, at least, liked the area. I think his relatives live close to Nashville. I could be making that up.
