A city in central Tennessee (30,000+/- pop.), home to Tennessee Tech University (OVC) and their mediocre sports teams, Cookeville Regional Medical Center (where anyone injured worse than a simple sprain or cut has to be airlifted to Vanderbilt), Oreck Vacuums (they suck, but it's a GOOD suck) and a handful of other companies few people have ever heard of. The city government is run by the Good Ol' Boy Network and you'll never get a job with the city unless you're related to someone. County seat of Putnam County, ALSO run by the Good Ol' Boy Network. Cookeville has a Baptist Church-to-Resident ratio approaching 1:1 and anyone you meet on the street who isn't a Tech student from out of town is likely to ask you if you know Jesus. People in Cookeville who like to think they are hip, quaint or funny refer to the city as "Cookietown," "CookeVegas" or "The 'Ville." The outskirts of Cookeville are packed full of double-wides.

2: "Oh, bro, I feel sorry for ya."
1: "Yeah, the girl at the counter was cute but as soon as I started chatting her up she got all Jesus & God bullshit on me."
2: "Yeah, that'll happen."

Home to an unfathomably large quantity of butthurt northerners, panhandlers, and reckless drivers alike. Should you find yourself passing through Cookeville, remember to take slow breaths, keep your windows up at all times, and for the love of all that is holy, DO NOT LOOK THEM IN THE EYES. If you follow these simple steps, you can avoid an unwanted run-in with a Cookevillain.
The road trip went well, save for the fact that we ended up with a flat tire in Cookeville of all places. Needless to say, we popped the spare tire on and skidaddled as fast as we could!
