You know you're from lj when... you can't resist these memes
These state/ country memes are so funny! The one for my area (upstate New York) was pretty specific to the Albany area, so I wrote my own. I stole borrowed a few from the Michigan meme - they were just too perfect! So without further ado....
You laugh at the people from New York who think Westchester is on the Canadian border.
You own a kerosene heater and a generator.
There is a large population of snowbirds, but not a feather in sight.
You identify newcomers by the way they pronounce Lowville and Madrid.
The river rats have tales.
You know that the Snow Belt is not a clothing accessory.
You can tell spring is coming because the snowbanks have all turned black and the maple trees have sprouted buckets.
Rising milk prices are a good thing.
The year is divided into hunting seasons.
You know what a cord is and how many will fit between those two trees.
None of the school districts can work out their budgets until three men in a room can finally agree on the state budget.
You have a bag of kitty litter in the trunk of your car, and you don't have a cat.
The best cheese curd squeaks.
The downstate politicians tell you in their campaign speeches that they don't really need your votes.
You've hit or been hit by deer three times this year.
The Southern Tier is north of New York.
You go to Mexico for apples, not burritos.
Going out for dinner could mean going out of the country - to Canada for Chinese food.
You exchange venison recipes with the other Grange ladies.
Your car rusts out before you need the brakes done.
You know more about chill factors and lake effect than you'd EVER like to know!
The snow freezes so hard you can actually walk across it and not break it or leave any marks.
Half the change in your pocket is Canadian, eh!
