Hahahah! These are great. Of the ones for Missouri these are true for me:
"Vacation" means driving to Silver Dollar City, Worlds of Fun or Six Flags.
The phrase, "I'm going to the Lake this weekend," can mean only one thing.
You know in your heart that Mizzou can beat Nebraska in football.
You can't think of anything better than sitting on the porch in the middle of the summer during a thunderstorm.
You think Imo's is larger than Pizza Hut. [IMO'S ROCKS]
You don't put too much effort into hairstyles due to wind and weather.
There's a tornado warning and the whole town is outside watching for it.
The local gas station sells live bait.
Little smokies are something you serve on special occasions.
All your radio preset buttons are country. [Well, three of six are in the Q]
You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Missouri.
And for the state I lived in for 8 years, Washington:
You know the state flower (Mildew)
You know more than 10 ways to order coffee. [Confused me when I first moved to WA]
You know more people who own boats than air conditioners. [LOL!]
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. [Well, yeah. Its an obvious difference]
You are well versed in the difference between Japanese, Chinese and Thai food. [Yeah, thai pwns]
In winter, you go to work in the dark and come home in the dark -- while only working eight-hour days. [Ugh, true]
You have no concept of humidity without precipitation. [What a contrast from Missouri] 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. [So VERY true]
You switch to your sandals when it gets about 60, but keep the socks on. [So VERY true]
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.
