16. You watched the ACC Basketball Tournament in class.

We did pause everything at work this year and watch.

[Inimicus]

Good list.

 

 

Its funny for me.  As a kid I spent a lot of time out of the state, 3 months out of every year.  Back then being from NC was more of a joke than anything.  All people knew was Andy Taylor and Gomer Pyle.  I remember getting in a fight in Miami at about 15 when a kid wouldn't let go of the toothless moonshinin hick bullshit. 

 

Seems like these days there is a lot more recognition for just how diverse and cool a place NC is.

20. I think I'm the only person that I know that hates James Taylor. I mean I fuging hate that guy.

33. Yep!

[Cary Kollins]

Surprising how many still stick with me, and I just lived in NC when I was 2-8 years old:

 

• 1
• 2!!! Love cheer wine
• Kinda 3, but it's just arguing that NC is better than anything near D.C.
• 18. Out of nowhere, I've discovered that my Preset Bluegrass channel is what is on 90% of the time I start my car.
• 22
• 23
• Haven't done 24, shockingly, despite my visiting OBX every other year
• 27 was a consideration when I bought my car
• 31
• 32 should be the Panthers Theme Song
• 33. I peaked.
• 34
• LOL, 35
• 36

[Doc Holiday]

All but 15 and 22 apply to me.

[Kettle]

They pretty much all apply to me except the ones concerning the ACC. Especially the craft beer, the shine and the Krispy Kreme.

[Happy Panther]

Don't like bluegrass

Haven't jumped off Jockey's ridge

Don't have a swimmin hole

Never heard of Wagon Wheel

 

The rest apply to some degree or another

[Davidson Deac II]

UNC, Duke, and NCSU all suck. 

 

Anyone puts slaw on my burger is going to be shot. 

 

Any mention of the NC music scene without mentioning Merle Doc Watson is just wrong.

 

What the heck is wagon wheel?  

 

:) 

 

 

[Kettle]

You guys should just YouTube wagon wheel. Old crow medicine show is the original artist and they have two versions. The second version is a little Hawaiian sounding. Darius Rucker, aka Hootie, covered it and it is growing more popular.

[Kettle]

This is the best version in my opinion, and OCMS is a great band. I'd call them new grass.

[TheRumGone]

^ i love old crow but that is one of the worst songs ever made.
