Aela Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 (edited) (Also, Fixed a couple of them texas ones for you:) You know your from Houston when: Iced tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it when you're twelve months old. (our daughter) There are only four spices: salt, pepper, picante, and cream gravy. You call salsa picante. You pick where to goto dinner based on the quality of the tea. You don't have "uppty" attitudes like them folks from Dallas or Austin. You believe that every type of food tastes better either wrapped in a tortilla, deep fried, or both. (and then topped with gravy) The dominate professional sports teams are the Texas Longhorns and the Aggies. You are afraid to go downtown because green air scares you. You like your air green and your water brown. All schools close, and freeways shut down when the forecast is 30 degrees with a slight chance of flurries. Despite having 95 degree temperatures and 90% humidity 11 months of the year, you think it is reasonable to built outdoor sports stadiums. You don't understand how people don't see the phonetic R in Kuykendahl (KIRK-in-dahl). Humble is a virtue, Humble (Um-ble) is a city. If it is under 2 inches it is an ant. If it is over 2 inches it is a cockroach. Parking lots are resurfaced to fit hummers and suburbans. Your in laws (cough) own two pairs of shoes. Work boots, and formal boots. Hurricane watching is a pastime. Ron Paul! The "farm-to-market" roads have seven lanes (stolen from a website, but so true). You have attended a wedding where the wedding party wore their formal jeans. You think "King of the Hill" is a documentary about your neighbors, in laws, or both.

Sisley Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 I'm learning so much it's starting to make me think twice about ever moving to the states. Hahaha. When I've got time, I'll do one up about Edmonton, and then it'll REALLY make you think twice about comin' up here (though, I doubt the chances of you guys coming to Edmonton is zero to -100).

Sisley Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 You know you're from Edmonton (Canada) if.... Your seasons include: winter, winter, summer, winter If there so happens to be a spring, it lasts 2 days, and you're back to winter You trick-or-treat in the snow and wear your costumes underneath your snow suit You shop/walk North America's largest mall at least 2 times a week You've got a "jewelry" mall You get your butt whooped if you are caught in a Calgary Flames jersey You see Calgary Flames "hate" advertisements all over the city Chinatown is itty bitty, like, 2 blocks long (which is extremely small compared to Vancouver and Toronto) Bum fights in Chinatown are an everyday thing There is at least 1 Pho noodle house restaurant thing at every block You need to leave the city (sometimes even the province) if you want to go to the beach In December, the sun rises at 9 AM and sets at 4:30 PM In June, the sun rises at 4:30 AM and sets at 11 PM You see young idiots wearing a thin hoodie in the middle of winter, -30 degrees Celsius and complaining about how cold it is (freaking idiots....) Snot running down your nose and you not noticing it because your face is frozen in -32 degrees Celsius weather is common You go into any Asian store and see "disposable underwear" for sale (like, I'm not talking diapers, I'm talking about paper underwear you wear once and chuck out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudir Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 The only reason you go to Wisconsin is . . . to buy beer on Sunday. (VERY true ) ugh, kentucky used to have that as a blue a law... i was very happy when they allowed booze sales on sunday about 5 years ago. oddly, that was about the same time lexington banned smoking in bars. i became a very happy camper with those changes!
