sam_gamgeeTaken from some friends...
1) go to google.com and type in "You know you're from (your state here) if..."
2) pick out whichever list strikes your fancy and bold the ones that apply to you.
3) post it in an entry.
You've never met any celebrities.
- Well, that's not true. I've met a bunch of Buffy and Angel people.
You know where, what, and when the Hummers Parade is held.
- Not totally sure about when, but I do.
"Vacation" means going to Rehoboth.
- This is very true.
You know the best subs come from Capriotti's.
- This is also very true.
You measure distance in minutes.
- Lol. Yeah, I do that.
You get a drink of "wooder" from the kitchen "zink".
- I don't do that, but I think my maternal grandparents do.
Your school classes were canceled because of 3 snowflakes.
- Well, not for 3, maybe 5.
The whole state panics because of a snow shower.
- Yep.
You've ridden the school bus for 10 minutes each way.
- Usually less - unless I was going to Wilmington.
You love the beach but hate the tourists.
- Yep. Which is why I go to the Inlet, and not Rehoboth to swim, and go to Rehoboth's boardwalk later.
You know about punkin-chunking, and you have your favorite chunker.
- Yep, I know about punkin' chunking. And some of the chunkers are cool.
You know someone who went to school with Randy White.
- I *think* one of my parents did, but I'm not totally sure, though I don't know who he is. Just found out and I think Kwame Harris is more relevant for me, since I actually know him.
You've eaten scrapple sandwiches.
- Yep.
You can identify all the major types of manure by smell (especially chicken!)
- Uh-huh.
That if it takes more than an hour to drive to, you're not going.
- Well, it depends on what's more than an hour away.
You end your sentences with unnecessary prepositions. Example: "Where's my coat at?"
- I'm not totally sure if I do this, but I wouldn't be surprised.
You actually know what a "slippery" dumpling is.
- Yes, but I don't know if I've actually eaten one.
You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.
- Nope.
You know who Youdee is.
- Yep, would be kinda hard to not know who he is with going to the University of Delaware and all.
You carry jumper cables in your car.
- Yep, or at least I think I do.
Somebody in your family works "for DuPont's".
- No, but someone I know might.
You only own 3 spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup (for the scrapple).
- Nope. And I don't even like ketchup on scrapple (but it's a viable spice for the other meat products :-P).
You warsh your car with wooder.
- Nope.
BLUE ROCKS, BLUE ROCKS, BLUE ROCKS YEA!
- Lol. Yep. And one of their mascots is Mr. Celery.
You think anyone from anywhere but Delaware has an accent.
- Not *completely* true.
You think the "Apple Scrapple Festival" is perfectly normal, except for all those granola-types running in the 5K race.
- That's as normal as Punkin' Chunking.
You think, maybe, just maybe, you might get a white Christmas. Then it rains.
- This is true. Or it turns out to be a really nice, sunny day.
The highest point in the state is a rise on the golf course.
- Either that or a landfill, not sure which.
The state has one hill. You've been sledding on it.
- This is very true.
You remember WAMS.
- Kinda, sorta, not really.
You know Newark is in New Jersey, but NewARK is in Delaware.
- This is *very* true. Newark, DE, is pronounced like two words, but written as one.
You know how to carefully pronounce the name Foulk Road.
- I don't know about "carefully", but yes.
You talk of Northern Delaware and the entire Eastern Seaboard as "above the canal."
- Well, at least New Castle County.
You know if another Delawarean is from southern, middle or northern Delaware as soon as they open their mouth.
- Yep.
You know the name of every street in Delaware, but have no idea what the route number is.
- This is very true, unless you're my father - who knows both. There's been more than one time where he's given me directions using route numbers (aside from I-95), and I'm like, "which stree's that?"
The opening of a Wal-Mart was declared by your mayor as, "The most exciting thing to happen in the county in 50 years".
- Nope.
When you want to go out for a nice dinner, you have to switch states.
- Sometimes.
