You are a true Deltan when,

[Wingman]

1. Your 3 year-old lies awake in bed, hands held up and spread apart, waiting for a mosquito to fly through.

2. You bring the dog in because it's too cruel to leave him out there to fend off mosquitoes all night.

3. You actually need a bug screen and bug shield on the front of your truck.

4. You understand what pushed Muddy Waters, B.B. King and John Lee Hooker to moan the blues.

5. You aren't afraid to ride through the "bad part of town" of Memphis or Jackson...actually, you feel at home there.

6. Not all black folks look the same to you. In fact, you know everybody by name, who their mama is, who their grandmama was and where they live.

7. Putting your kids thru a year of college is cheaper than sending them through 1st grade.

8. You wreck your vehicle, and local folks hear it on the scanner and call you to "check on you" before you make it back to your house.

9. You actually know where they filmed "Crossroads" and "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?".

10. Your kinfolks know at least 3 wardens at Parchman by their first names.


Feel free to add more!

when you have to have a four wheel drive to get down the COUNTY gravel road to your house. The exception to this rule is if you live in Tunica county, where there are no gravel or dirt roads.

Funny as hell.....so far, toss up between 3 year old clappin' mosquitos and mosquitos with ticks.

[Wingman]

Mine is true...happened about 4:30 AM Sunday morning, as I was rounding up my mosquito swatting for the night. Lilly came and got in my bed, held up her hands and was waiting for a mosquito to come by. Kinda like a Venus Fly Trap, I guess!

No. 8 is true, even when guys from SC come checking on you before you get home.

The skeeters stories holds true down here in SC lowcountry too. My 4 year old told me to look at the birds sworming outside the window last night, it was actually a tornado of skeeters. No way a man could go outside and defend of those suckers without a good Thermacell.

Well you are to true deltan when instead of takeing the 4-wheeler hunting you take the 4-wheel drive backhoe.

What about: if you consider a field full of ant beds as "hill country"
