You Live In...

Just some silly something that a friend sent to me:

You live in California when...

1. You make over $250,000 and you still can't afford to buy a house.
2. The high school quarterback calls a time-out to answer his cell phone.
3. The fastest part of your commute is going down your driveway.
4. You know how to eat an artichoke.
5. You drive your rented Mercedes to your neighborhood block party.
6. When someone asks you how far something is, you tell them how long it will take to get there rather than how many miles away it is.

You live in New York City when...

1. You say "the city" and expect everyone to know you mean Manhattan.
2. You have never been to the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building.
3. You can get into a four-hour argument about how to get from Columbus Circle to Battery Park, but can't find Wisconsin on a map.
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.
6. You've worn out a car horn.
7. You think eye contact is an act of aggression.

You live in upstate New York 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.
6. You think the Ed Sullivan reruns are very unique NEW shows!

You live in the Deep South when...

1. You can rent a movie and buy bait in the same store.
2."ya'll" is singular and "all ya'll" 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, 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.
3.A pass does not involve a football or dating.
4. The top of your head is bald, but you still have a pony tail.

You live in the Midwest when...

1. You've never met any celebrities, but the mayor knows your name.
2. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor.
3. You have had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" on the same day.
4. You end sentences with a preposition: "Where's my coat at?"
5. When asked how your trip was to any exotic place, you say, "It was different!"

You live in Florida when...

1. You eat dinner at 3:15 in the afternoon.
2. All purchases include a coupon of some kind - even houses and cars.
3. Everyone can recommend an excellent dermatologist.
4. Road construction never ends anywhere in the state.
5. Cars in front of you are often driven by headless people.

Its embarrassing LOL!
I live in (at least part of) the deep south and its all true lol!
I kid you not, I can go 5 miles from here to another town and the local grocery store advertises "Groceries, Meats and Feeds" on a big sign painted on the outside of the building and just down the street from there is the Video Rentals & Bait store!

I bet they all ring of some truth though...I grew up in the Midwest (two-lane highway/farm country) & my ex lives in Colorado...he's going bald on the top of his head but has a pony-tail down to his waist.

I lived in the Deep South (Leesville, South Carolina) for about six weeks, and I agree, Moni, it's almost painful how accurate the description is, although there were no bait shops (Leesville is well inland. [img]smile.gif[/img] ) It was something of a culture shock, since I've lived most of my life in the suburbs of Philadelphia. Which prompts me to add to your list:

You Live In Philadelphia When:

You boo your first-round draft choice.
It takes two years for the City Council to decide where to build a free stadium.
Your Mayor is ecstatic because he finally got to build a building over twenty stories tall.
Bankers dress like used-car salesmen, and the "standard uniform" for businessmen is a grey suit with BROWN shoes.
Your city is most famous for junk food.
The most common response you hear when you tell people where you live is "Oh, that's too bad."

Regards;

Ok first the drivers do have heads cause i can see a bit of blue hear sticking up above the drivers seat.
Second, I am to young to know a dermatologist yet but I know some good plastic surgeons if you need one.

the rest is unfortunatly pretty accurate. I hate it when my dad wants to take me to dinner and we have to make the "early bird special" at like 4 pm. Most of the time he yells what you are eating again when i st down to eat dinner at 7 pm for some reason he always thinks i ate at 4 pm when he did

but Moni being able to swear at peole in their native language DOES maky you multi lingual!!! At the very least , knowing swear words in other languages lets you know if you should tip or not.
