From PA
Stolen from rachel:
Go to Google and search for "you know you're from [insert state here] when..."
Bold the items that you can relate to.
How to tell that you're from Pennsylvania:
1. The first day of Buck season and the first day of Doe season are school holidays.
Nobody else ever knows what I'm talking about when I mention this!
2. You own only three spices "salt, pepper and Heinz ketchup".
3. Driving is always better in winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
4. Words like "hoagie", "crick", "chipped ham", and "pop" actually mean something to you.
5. You can use the phrase "fire hall wedding reception" and not even bat an eye.
6. You constantly refer to Pennsylvania as "PA" (pronounced Pee-ay). How many other states do that?
7. You know that Blue Ball, Intercourse, Climax, Bird-in-Hand, Beaver, Moon, Virginville, Paradise, Mars, and Slippery Rock are PA towns.
8. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on the highway.
At least it was until I moved to Rochester!
9. You measure distance in hours.
Doesn't everyone do this?
10. You know several people who have hit deer more than once.
11. You often switch from "Heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
12. You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend or wife knows how to use them.
Um, well I don't have a wife, but I know how to use them and so does my husband ;).
13. You can actually eat cold pizza (even for breakfast) and know others who do the same. (Those from NY find this "barbaric".)
Tom insists that NYers invented pizza and that this is NOT barbaric.
14. You not only have heard of Birch Beer, but you know that it comes in several colors: Red, White, Brown, Gold.
15. At least 5 people on your block have electric "candles" in all or most of their windows all year long.
16. You know what a "State Store" is, and your out of state friends find it incredulous that you can't purchase liquor at the mini-mart.
17. You know several places to purchase or that serve Scrapple, Summer Sausage (Lebanon Bologna), and Hot Bacon Dressing.
God, I miss scrapple. And by the way, Karen, I haven't had any chili in a long time either ;).
18. You can't go to a Pennsylvania wedding without hearing the "Chicken Dance" and at least 5 Polkas.
19. You live for summer, when street fairs signal the beginning of funnel cake season.
Hot diggety damn! But Soren doesn't like funnel cakes. Weirdo ;).
20. You ask the waitress for "dippy eggs" for breakfast.
21. Your turkey has "filling," not "stuffing," and most certainly, NOT "dressing."
I'll have to try the NY one after I've lived here for a long time!
