4. You would give anything to be able to splash cold water on your face.

5. You can attend any function wearing shorts and a tank top.

8. You have over 100 recipes for Mexican food.

9. The 4 seasons are: tolerable, hot, really hot, and ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!

3. The fastest part of your commute is going down your driveway.

4. You know how to eat an artichoke.

4. You think Central Park is "nature,"

5. You believe that being able to swear at people in their own language makes you multi-lingual.

7. You think eye contact is an act of aggression.


You Live in MINNESOTA when...

1. You only have four spices: salt, pepper, ketchup, and Tabasco.

2. Halloween costumes fit over parkas.

3. You have more than one recipe for moose.

4. Sexy lingerie is anything flannel with less than eight buttons.

5. The four seasons are: winter, still winter, almost winter, and construction.


You Live in the Deep South when...

1. You can rent a movie and buy bait in the same store.

2."Y'all" is singular and "all Y'all" is plural.

3. After five years you still hear, "You ain't from 'round here, are Ya?"

4. "He needed killin' " is a valid defense.

5. Everyone has 2 first names: Billy Bob, Jimmy Bob, Mary Sue, Betty Jean, MARY BETH, etc.


You live in Colorado when...

1. You carry your $3,000 mountain bike atop your $500 car.

2. You tell your husband to pick up Granola on his way home and he stops at the day care center.

This is very very very true. I can't tell you miles for the life of me, but I can assure you that you everything is either 15 minutes or an hour away.

Willow Sylph 12-07-2004 05:33 PM

Those are good, Aud. :)

And this is so true -

^^^little old people?

daverbee 12-07-2004 05:56 PM

Very little old people. They're like ants down here.
Periodically you'll read in the paper about some old person running over a group of people sitting at a bus stop.
This state should seriously consider a maximum age for drivers.

Willow Sylph 12-07-2004 06:01 PM

Ooh. Duuuuh. I suppose they're driving giant cadillacs, too?

Spicy Jack 12-07-2004 06:05 PM

My grandparents have NO buisness driving. They even went and took their old people driving test (I think you have to do it at 70) and PASSED! There is no way! I should start an elderly dial-a-ride to take old people grocery shopping and stuff like that.

You know you're from Portland Oregon when:

Two-thirds of the people you know are from California, yet there is no sun.

You can list five reasons why Starbucks is evil.

You blame everything that's not right on ex-Californians.

You remember the date, severity, time of day, where you were, and how long you were out of power for every winter weather event for the last five years.

You know what and when the Columbus Day storm was. Bonus for having been there.

You go to a coffee bar and see two guys get into a fight over who makes the best India Pale Ale.

You own more than 10 articles of clothing that have microbreweries/brewpubs printed on them. Bonus for embroidered stuff.

You can go a whole week without seeing the sun or a person of color.

You have a bookstore, coffee bar, and brewpub all within walking distance of your house.

You think downtown is scary 'cause you were panhandled there ... once.

When you drive out of town, every other guy in a pickup looks like the governor.

When you drive out of town, even the Hondas have gun racks.

When the weather gets above 50 degrees you put on your shorts, but you still wear hiking boots and your parka.

When the weather gets above 60 you replace your hiking boots with sandals.

You think people who use umbrellas are wimps.

You can recount more than five anecdotes about why the East Side is a crime-infested jungle
... OR ...
You can list more than five reasons why the West Side is a boring, snobby, white-bread suburb.

You know what it is in between the East Side and the West Side, and how to pronounce it.

You are sitting at a red light surrounded by Subaru Legacy Outbacks.

A tree or mudslide has ever damaged your house or car.

You live equidistant to a symphony hall, a winery, and a volcano.

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Portland, OR.

My friend Stevie calls them "Frogheads" ...those tiny little old people looking thru the steering wheel to drive.
