Make sure you tell everyone the right way to do things, because Southerners love having a Yankee tell them they're doing something the wrong way.

I'm another Buckeye that's getting weary of Ohio winters, going into semi-retirement, and looking for a home around southern Georgia maybe. |

Welcome! You'll love Huntsville.
ETA: Go ahead and choose between Alabama and Auburn now. And if you don't like football, then may God have mercy on your soul. |

The Sunday NY Times can be hard to find.
If your local store doesn't carry it, complain. |

When in doubt say, "Are you going to blame that on Sherman, too, like them Georgia boys?

As often as possible, tell everyone how much better things are in Ohio.
|
|
Your not conservative enough. You'll see what I mean in about 4-5 years. In the meantime, don't fuck it up.

Ask around and a local will probably tell you where Forrest Gump grew up.
Be sincere and serious. |

A few simple rules.
Nobody cares how it was done in Ohio, nobody will appreciate you sharing how it was done in Ohio, all sharing that will do is cause those around you not from Ohio to wish that you would go back to Ohio. You will be living in a different place, with a slightly different culture, try and keep in mind that once you get to Alabama the only one with an accent will be you, the good people of Alabama likely won't appreciate you telling them how quaint their accent is (especially if you start off with the word "youins"). If you are drinking a Dr. Pepper and somebody calls it a Coke, don't get technical about it, in the south any carbonated beverage can be called a Coke. If you really don't like the way things are done in Alabama, keep in mind that the Interstate Highway that brought you south also runs north, it really isn't a one way road, and unlike NYC, you don't have to pay to leave. |
