Put your thinking caps on, Nashville, and turn 'em backwards!* It’s time for the Nashville Scene’s blockbuster annual YASNI issue, here to make your summer even hotter! Here’s your chance to find the funniest answer that completes this sentence: “You are so Nashville if ...” As last year’s winner Bill Hench put it, you are so Nashville if... “You think the TV show should've been called Mount Juliette." What’s on your mind this year? Politics? Newsmakers? Neighborhoods? After 25 years, we still can’t wait to see — and neither can you! Get ready to fill in the funniest blank in town.

, a good old-fashioned double entendre took the prize. Of course, there are always the music-related YASNI submissions: "You think Nashville is a drinking town with a music problem," or "Your band blah blah blah waiters blah blah blah CD to a Music Row blah blah blah," or "Blah blah blah cowboy hat blah blah blah boots."

So, what will you riff on this year? The wide field of mayoral candidates? Bees on Music City Center? Condos replacing sub shops? Ball's in your court. Submit here! Need that link again? OK, here it is! Deadline is June 26, and the issue will run July 16.
