    Here are some fun facts about South Carolina for those of you who have never been, unrelated to Lindsey Graham.

    Lindsey Graham is from a town called Central, which due to SC naming convention is in the northwest part of the state. Following the same convention there is also a town called North, South Carolina that is in the middle. Central also has a great Mexican restaurant called Pancho’s where you can go to celebrate any event you’d like

    In many parts of SC it is considered rude or unlucky to toss or throw beer on Sundays. This is because it is illegal to sell alcohol on Sundays in many places so if you toss a beer to your buddy at the campsite, for example, and they drop it, you can’t buy more till tomorrow. Please remember this tradition if you are having any celebrations on Sundays and want to honor South Carolina traditions.

    It’s customary in South Carolina to celebrate Bastille Day two days early. The reasons why are lost to history.

      You have got to be kidding me? I normally don’t ask for proof for something that I could just Google, but bold claims require bold proof.

      Central also has a great Mexican restaurant

      You expect me to believe this? Great? How does it compare to any border town? I have a feeling it is mid at best.

        Central is a border town. Georgia and North Carolina both only a few miles away. And don’t tell me you’ve never had a pollo fundito

          I do love me some pollo fundito. Was it made there? I’ll shut my mouth and admit I was stupid for suggesting that great Mexican food can’t exist everywhere in the US if pollo fundito was made in SC.

            That’s just the only place I’ve ever seen them, I thought it was unique but maybe not
