Getting to know each other better!

[moombadaze]

for my home state
You Know You're From Washington When...

You know the state flower (Mildew)

You feel guilty when you don't recycle.

You use the phrase "sun break" and know what it means.

You know more than 10 ways to order coffee.

You know more people who own boats than air conditioners.

You feel overdressed wearing a suit to a nice restaurant.

You've stood on a deserted corner in the rain waiting for the "Walk" Signal.

You understand that if it has no snow or has not erupted, it is not a real mountain.

You can taste the difference between Starbuck's, Seattle's Best, Veneto's, Peet's, and Tully's.

You know the difference between Chinook, Coho, and Sockeye salmon.

You consider swimming an indoor sport.

You are well versed in the difference between Japanese, Chinese and Thai food.

In winter, you go to work in the dark and come home in the dark -- while only working eight-hour days.

You never go camping without waterproof matches and a poncho. You are not fazed by "Today's forecast: showers followed by rain," and "Tomorrow's forecast: rain followed by showers."

You have no concept of humidity without precipitation.

You can point to at least two volcanoes, even if you cannot see through the cloud cover.

You notice "the mountain is out" when it is a pretty day and you can actually see it.

You put on your shorts when the temperature gets above 50, but still wear your hiking boots and parka.

You switch to your sandals when it gets about 60, but keep the socks on.

You've actually used your mountain bike on a mountain.

You think people who use umbrellas are either wimps or tourists.

You knew immediately that the view out of Frasier's window was fake.

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Washington.

If your truck has a bumber sticker that reads don't laugh your daughter might be in here.

If you need a step ladder to get in your truck.

If you think that 15 below zero is warm.

If you put more hours on your snow blower than your Moomba.

If you refer to the Auto industry as the "Big Three"

If you call your relatives down state "Trolls" or your relatives in the U.P "Yoopers"

I'm only on year 10 of living in GA, but have found all of these too true . . .

1. You can properly pronounce Chickamauga, DeKalb, Dahlonega, Senoia, Buena Vista, Valdosta, Okefenokee, and La Fayette.

P.S. Atlanta = ADD-LANNA not AT-LANT-A.
P.S.S. Fayetteville = FET-VUL (the county seat of FET COUNNY)
P.S.S.S. and don’t even THINK that Houston county has anything to do with Texas!

2. You know that Forsyth is nowhere near Forsyth county, Jefferson is nowhere near Jefferson county, Jackson is nowhere near Jackson county....and the name of the Cairo High School football team is the Syrupmakers!

3. You think people who complain about the heat in their states are sissies.

4. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.

5. Stores don't have bags or shopping carts, they have sacks and buggies.

6. You think everyone from a Yankee-state has an accent, even if you are a Yankee

7. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean.

8. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.

9. A Mercedes Benz isn't a status symbol. A Chevy Silverado Extended Bed Crew Cab is.

10. You know everything goes better with Ranch dressing.

11. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply.

12. Ironically, you only crave Chick-Fil-A on Sundays...when it is not sold.

13. On one side of the road there's Wal-Mart and on the other is a cotton field.

14. The directions to your house include "turn off the paved road."

15. Y’ALL is a word.

16. Fried chicken is a major part of your diet

17. Krispy Kreme doughnuts are the only kind of doughnuts you eat.

18. You call it a cold Christmas if you don't break out in perspiration in your new sweater.

19. When a single snowflake falls, the entire state shuts down, even if it doesn't stick. The radio and TV news will make snowstorm reports every 10 minutes and the grocery store will be completely sold out of bread, milk, bottled water and toilet paper.

20. People actually grow, eat and like okra!

21. You know the difference between a hillbilly, a redneck, and a Southerner.

22. Your dog and your wallet are both on chains.

23. Panama City Beach, Florida is a big deal.

24. You understand that at least once a year your car will turn yellow with pollen.

25. You know at least one Bubba, and maybe a few guys named Bo.

26. You say "tuna fish sandwich."

27. You use "Sir" and "Ma'am" if there's a remote possibility that the person you're talking to is least 30 minutes older than you are.

28.You love sweet tea, mashed potatoes, biscuits, and all Southern comfort food...and Southern Comfort!

29. You know you're from Georgia if you have a flip-flop tan year round

30. You know you’re from Ga if you’ve ever used "The Big Chicken" as a basis for directions.

31. You know you're from Georgia if you get dressed extra nice TWICE a week. Once on Sunday morning for church, and once on Friday night for the football game

And finally...

41.. You are 100% Georgian if you have ever had this conversation:

"You wanna Coke?"

"Yeah."

"What kind?"

"Dr. Pepper"
