    You're from Adelaide, South Australia if...

    You have been to the club formerly known as Heaven at least once (and you were
    under 18).

    You have been to Glenelg and got extremely sunburnt

    You know what fritz is

    You go out to the same place EVERY Saturday night

    You have the same friends from high school

    You can't go out without seeing someone you know

    You really miss the old Sizzler cheese bread

    You like ugg boots, not moccies

    You have a very strong opinion on Lleyton Hewitt

    You have been to one of the following lookouts: Stirling, Mt Lofty, Penfolds
    Rd, Sunnyside Rd, Eagle On The Hill, Montefiore Hill

    You know who Stormy Summers is

    You know what Fruchocs are

    You believe that anything that has ever breathed or moved in Adelaide air
    is 'Adelaide's Own'

    You're well aware that for one month of the year, it is impossible to travel
    from one side of the city to the other, and during this period you will
    magically acquire a love of the arts, appreciation for world music, expertise
    in food and wine and become completely immersed in the culture of horse racing.

    You pour Farmer's Union Iced Coffee on your breakfast cereal.

    You will never forgive Melbourne for stealing our Grand Prix. Never.

    You know how 'dance', 'pool', 'castle' and 'graph' are SUPPOSED to be
    pronounced.

    You get offended when people from Western Australia call SA part of the "East Coast".

    You insist on calling AAMI Stadium, "Footy Park".

    You say a Pie Floater tastes great just to maintain your street cred.

    You consider Coopers to be a food group.

    You believe that other states' time zones are not good enough for us.

    You acknowledge that, while half of our state is uninhabitable, you know that
    it's still the greatest.

    You think the 'Tiser has no journalistic integrity whatsoever.... and yet you
    still read it every day.

    You vote for Mike Rann in every State election, mainly because you can't
    remember the other guy's name.

    One word: Haigh's

    You buy your CDs from shabby "Big Star" outlets

    You know that Victor Harbor is the only place to be for Schoolies.

    You forgave the Chappells for the 1981 Underarm Incident purely out of South
    Australian patriotism.

    You have a unfettered love of either Crows or Port to the complete exclusion of the other.

    You know the people out on the Torrens are either tourists or rowers. No one
    else would go near that water.

    You think the Festival Centre is a wonder of modern architecture.

    You console yourself that, despite all our faults, at least South Australia
    wasn't built by convicts.

    You can leave work at 5:15 and miss "peak hour traffic"

    You're not scared by Aboriginals walking around Adelaide in speedos and gumboots

    Your 'sports gurus' are KG and Cornesy

    You know what a 'stobie pole' is

    You don't know what the meaning of the "Mall's balls" but you make sure you meet people there

    You either live on one side or the other of the great divide (Gepps Cross
    intersection)

    You still claim Anthony LaPaglia as an Adelaidean cos he worked in a shoe shop in Rundle Mall once.

    You're aware that everything is not just good, it's "heaps good"

      Another "You know you're from Arizona" list.
      And another one.

      I especially like these:
      • You think someone driving wearing oven mitts is clever.
      • You've signed so many petitions to recall governors that you can't remember the name of the incumbent.
      • You see more irrigation water on the street than there is in the Salt River.
      • Vehicles with open windows have the right-of-way in the summer.
      • You notice the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.
      • You know better than to get into a car with leather seats if you're wearing shorts. (When I was a kid, my parents' cars had vinyl seats! )

          You Know You're From Louisville, Kentucky If

          You Know You're From Louisville (KY) If...

          *

          Your "International" airport has only one passenger flight that actually leaves the 48 contiguous U.S. states.
          *

          The in-state sports rivalry is paid more attention to than the national championship.
          *

          You live in an area that occasionally gets considerable snowfalls, floods, and tornadoes ... but has no capacity to deal with any of the above.
          *

          You pronounce the name of your city different than anyone else you've heard.
          *

          You think the rest of the people in Kentucky sound like hicks.
          *

          When you think "Kentucky" you don't automatically think horse racing or fried chicken.
          *

          You ask your doctor for an allergy cure and he tells you to "move."
          *

          You've shoveled 10+ inches of snow and worn shorts in the same week.
          *

          When people ask what school you went to, they don't mean Vanderbilt, Yale, or Harvard; they mean Ballard, Male, Manual, Trinity or St. X.
          *

          You know what the Bambi Walk is.
          *

          Your last ten vacations were in Panama City or Destin.
          *

          You make an emergency run to Kroger for bread and milk at the first sighting of a snowflake.
          *

          You've lived here for years, yet somehow you get hopelessly lost each time you attempt a shortcut through Cherokee Park.
          *

          You're convinced turn signals are useless options on a vehicle.
          *

          You hold up traffic to let a motorist you don't know into your lane.
          *

          You give directions based on landmarks that no longer exist or street names that have changed, but your directions never confuse any of the other Louisvillians
          *

          You have never been to the Derby, but wouldn't miss the Oaks.
          *

          You call in sick to attend the Oaks and spot your boss - who also called in sick - at the next betting window.
          *

          You think all the REAL hicks live in New Albany.
          *

          You think the only thing Southern Indiana is good for is buying pumpkins.
          *

          When introduced to another life-long Louisvillian, you spend the first part of the conversation finding out how you are connected. It's never as many as six degrees of separation - usually three will do it.
          *

          You've built a shrine to Rick Pitino in your basement.
          *

          You can read about Rick Pitino in at least three different sections of your newspaper.
          *

          You think the rest of the world knows what Benedictine spread is.
          *

          You think the rest of the world knows what a Hot Brown is.
          *

          You have never eaten fish that wasn't fried.
          *

          You think the whole world puts spaghetti in chili.
          *

          You want another bridge built over the Ohio River, just so long as it doesn't cut through YOUR neighborhood.
          *

          You've experienced a "salt storm" after a two-inch snowfall.
          *

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

                      You know you're from New Mexico if:

                      You can correctly pronounce the words Tesuque, Bernalillo, Ocotillo, and Pojoaque.

                      You know how to pronounce street names like "Calle Medico", and snicker at people who say "Calle Medico Street". (Calle means Street!)

                      You expect to pay more if your house is made of mud.

                      You order your Big Mac with green chile. And your Whopper. If they don't have green chile, you find another drive thru.

                      Your Christmas decorations include "red Chiles, a half-ton of sand and 200 paper bags."

                      You have an extra freezer just for green Chile.

                      You know what it means when they say it's from 'Hatch'.

                      Your swamp cooler got knocked off your roof by a Dust Devil.

                      You can actually hear the Taos hum.

                      All your out-of-state friends and relatives ask if they can drink the water when they come to visit.

                      You don't see anything wrong with drive-up window liquor sales.

                      Two of your cousins are in Santa Fe, one in the legislature, the other in the state penitentiary.

                      You're relieved when the pavement ends because the dirt road has fewer potholes.

                      You see nothing odd when, in the conversations of the people in line around you at the grocery store, every other word of each sentence alternates between Spanish and English.

                      You've slept outside either on the trampoline, the back of a truck, or just in the yard with friends.

                      You love the smell of rain in the desert.

                      You know what bartering is, and how to do it in at least 2 different languages.

                      Walmart sells snow sleds in the summer for White Sands...but you can hardly find them in the winter.

                      Your favorite restaurant has a chile list instead of a wine list.

                      You don't make eye contact with other drivers because you can't tell how well armed they are just by looking.

                      All your out-of-state friends and relatives visit in October. (OMG so damn true)

                      You are afraid to drive through Mora or Espanola.

                      You know the punch line to at least one Espanola joke.

                      You have been told by at least one out-of-state vendor that they are going to charge you extra for "international" shipping.

                      At any gathering, regardless of size, green chile stew, tortillas, and huge mounds of shredded cheese are mandatory.

                      You associate bridges with mud, not water.
                      Because as we all know, on the Internet all men are men, all women are men and all children are FBI agents.

                            6) The highway/freeway designers at UDOT (Utah Department of Transportation) are known as UdiOTs for good reason.
                            I'll start with the Nevada Transplant list that responds to that
                            (these are all coming from Northern Nevada... southern is a different can of worms)
                            -you know you're a Nevada transplant when you know that the freeway designers in Nevada are the ones that UDiOTs rejected (Dalesys, if you think Utah freeways are bad, try Reno, a good freeway there is about on par with the 201 )
                            -you walk into a convenience store and are confused by the lack of slot machines.
                            -you walk to the coolers in the convenience store and are surprised to see the lack of liquor.
                            -People get uncomfortable around you because they think you're swearing when talking about the game "craps" (seriously, I got a written warning at the call center about that, I was explaining the game to a coworker, a passing sup heard the conversation, thought I was cursing on the call floor and wrote me up... Utah)
                            -You're used to being the only one going the speed limit... however you're also used to being the fastest one on the road.
                            -You think nothing is weird about going out to eat at 2am and will get irritated that there is nothing open at that hour.

                            I"m sure I could think of more... this is just what my sleep deprived brain is able to come up with now.

                              As for the NJ list, I always laugh when I see it because the only broken bone I've ever had, I got riding the inner tube slide at Action Park. Also lost most of the skin on the outside of my left leg on the Alpine Slide there. :-)

                                You've ridden the school bus for an hour each way
                                You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day
                                You think ethanol makes your truck "run a lot better."
                                You know what's knee-high by the Fourth of July
                                Stores don't have bags, they have sacks
                                You see people wear bib overalls at funerals.
                                You see a car running in the parking lot at the store with no one in it no matter what time of the year.
                                You end your sentences with an unnecessary preposition. Example: Where's my coat at?" or "If you go to the mall I wanna go with." (That drives me up a fricken wall!!!)
                                All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit or vegetable
                                You can locate Illinois on the United States map
                                Detassling was your first job
                                You've ever been on a "Geode Hunt"
                                Your idea of a really great tenderloin is when the meat is twice as big as the bun and accompanied only by ketchup and a dill pickle slice
                                You still pronounce the "s" in Illinois. (Not really true. We get mad if people pronounce the s.)
                                You learn your pickup will run without a muffler
                                You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked
                                You think of the major four food groups as beef, pork, pop, and Jell-O salad with marshmallows
                                When asked how your trip was to any foreign, exotic place, you say, "It was different."
                                You consider being called a "Pork Queen" an honor
                                People from other states love to hear you say "Illinois" and other words with "Os" in them.
                                Your dream vacation is a trip to Rock Home Gardens
                                You carry jumper cables in your car
                                You drink "pop." (I switch between soda and pop. I lived in IL then moved to WI,then back to IL)
                                You know what the numbers I-80, 75 and 57 mean (AND I-90!!)
                                You know what "cow tipping" is
                                "Kill the fat guy first?! That's racist!" - my friend Ironside at a Belegarth practice after being "killed" first.

                                I belly dance with tall Goblins!
