If only because she's Minnesotan!
1. Go to Google (or Yahoo) and type, "You know you're from (your state) when..."
2. Cut and paste the list.
3. Bold the items that apply to you.
I just nabbed one of the many out there.
Subject: You know you're from Wisconsin if...
The town you grew up in had a bar called Ma's Place. No but as a child I did eat chili at a bar called "Shorty's"
You know how to polka. Doesn't everyone?
The FFA was the most popular club in high school.
You know what knee-high by the Fourth of July means. And it's only up here North of the 45th that it really means something.
You know it's traditional for the bride and groom to go bar hopping between the ceremony and the reception. It is. I didn't but a lot of people do. Free drinks to the wedding party, usually.
You know that there is no "r" in Wausau.
You were delighted to get a miniature snow shovel for your 3rd birthday. I got a set of mounted antlers for my 3rd birthday and still love them.
You can recognize someone from Illinois by their driving. Duh.
You buy Christmas presents at Fleet Farm. Of course, why wouldn't you?
You are a connoisseur of cheese curds and find anyone unfamiliar with them to be frighteningly foreign. Very frightening.
You get irritated at sports announcers that pronounce it "Wes-con-sin."
You own at least one cheese head.
You spent more on beer than you did on food at your wedding. Actually this wasn't true for us.
You know that Kaukauna is NOT an Hawaiian Island.
You hear someone use the word "oof-dah" and you don't immediately break into uncontrollable laughter.
You think fast food is hitting a deer at 65 mph.
You or someone you know was a "Dairy Princess" at a county fair.
You know that "combine" is a noun.
You know what a FIB is. Ha!
You know that pasties are not articles of clothing. I have some of these in my freezer right now. Homemade.
You let your older siblings talk you into putting your tongue on a steel post in the middle of winter. I was much smarter than this.
You think Lutheran and Catholic are THE major religions. As I was neither Lutheran nor Catholic, this wasn't true for me.
You can tell the difference between "real Wisconsin cheese" and "that Illinois stuff."
You know that creek rhymes with pick. Doesn't everyone?
Your class took a field trip to a brewery...in second grade, Borden's in third and the cheese factory in fourth.Never did the brewery, but I have toured a cheese factory or two in my life. Still buy most of my cheese directly from one.
Football schedules are checked before wedding dates are set. They are checked before any big event, along with hunting, fishing and trapping seasons.
You can visit Luxemburg, Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Berlin, and Poland all in one afternoon.
A Friday night date consists of taking you girlfriend shining for deer. Saturday you go the local bowling ally.
At least one kid in your class had to help with morning chores. I had to help with morning chores.
You have driven your car on a lake.
You can make sense out of the word "upnort" and "batree." And it's often "upnort" that the "batree" fails.
The Packers will always be better than the Vikings, no matter what the standings are. Damn straight.
You know that De Pere is not a wooden structure extending into "Da Lake."
You can leave your ice cream in the car while you go into Fleet Farm, and it won't melt. Well, not in summer. (Usually)
You always believed that vacation meant "going up North."
At every wedding you have been to, you've had to dance the hokey poky & the chicken dance.
You know what a bubbler is.
Your definition of a small town is one that only has one bar. Goodrich!
Your local gas station sells live bait. - As do some of the drug stores and the liquor stores.
At least twice a year, the kitchen doubles as a meat processing plant.
You laugh aloud every time you see a news report about a blizzard shutting down the entire east coast.
Your mom asks, "Were you born in a barn?" and you know exactly what she means.
You include beer as one of the major food groups.
You know which leaves make good toilet paper.
Your sexy lingerie is tube socks and a flannel nightgown.
You are a member of the Polar Bear Club and proud of it.
You think that the start of deer season is a national holiday.
You learned to drive a tractor before the training wheels were off your bike.
Your bank has the name of your town included in its name.
There is usually a comment in these things about the difference between "pop" and "soda". It actually varies across the state, in my little neck of the woods, it's 'soda' or 'soda pop' but rarely pop alone. But we're smart enough to understand both.

no subject
Date: 2010-07-27 03:49 am (UTC)From:I related to most of the ones on your list, too. Those of us from small towns "upnort" got to stick together. Although I have to admit that my small town does have 10,000 people, so you have me beat there.

Date: 2010-07-27 06:31 pm (UTC)From:I really like Wisconsin, we are taking our family vacation at the House in the Rock. I was there once before and LOVED it- its so beautiful in that area.
Don't feel bad, I lived in Sioux Falls for 4 years which has 150,000 ppl and most folks from "the city" thought it was a small town. Its funny though, the county I grew up in, Lake of the Woods, doesn't have 10,000 people combined! Talk about everyone knowing everyones business!!!
