Meme sheep says baaaa.
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.
1. Going to IHOP at midnight is an acceptable dinner. Well, yeah.
6. The “meadows” doesn’t mean a field-type place. This is where I can start to tell this list is kind of old, because while we still call it The Meadows, it's not actually named The Meadows anymore.
7. unless you live in Coventry. Heehee.
8. You haven't even heard of Coventry until you’ve lived in CT for a good twenty years plus. Very true, actually.
9. You thought the only highways are 91 and 84. Until I left the state, actually.
10. Your high school rival football game is the event of the month. It certainly was when I was in high school.
11. You own a bikini and snowpants.
14. It amazes you each and every time you see how small CT looks on a map.
15. And then you look at Rhode Island and laugh. God, yes.
18. UCONN basketball rules and nobody can tell you otherwise.
19. You think bars are only for those 21 and over.
20. And parties are for those 20 and under.
23. You notice each incoming freshman class is getting shorter and shorter.
26. You wonder why everyone calls CT the “rich state.” I do, actually.
28. Timbs are meant for both men and women. Yes. But we spell them "Tims".
29. “word” is an acceptable response. Holla.
31. Foods is a class offered at your high school. It was while I was there.
32. A 3.5 is something to pout about for a week. ...yes? Is that unusual?
35. The word ghetto has at least 20 different meanings, non even near the real one. Actually, this got me into a shitload of trouble when I hit college. I didn't realize that it didn't have the same meaning everywhere. Whoops.
37. Cow Tipping sounds like the greatest field trip ever. Oh my god, who doesn't want to try that?
38. You have the need to go on a “roadtrip” but just drive around your town for hours b/c you’re afraid of getting lost. Yup, I know people like this.
42. Theatre isn’t just for those in black turtlenecks with coffee mugs. Has it ever been?
43. You’ll “settle” for Starbucks. I wish we had a real coffee shop. Sigh.
45. There is about 30 variations of “Park” in the state (road, street, ave, etc.)
49. Your AP Calculus class is filled with sophomores. It was.
55. You own at least 10 hoodies.
57. a night of hanging out at the center doing... nothing sounds like the best fun youve had in weeks. When I was in high school, absolutely.
58. IM isn’t an extra, it’s a necessity. When I was 12.
63. It’s called a grinder or sub. What else do people call it?
64. “Bradley” is a place you look forward to going.
69. You are overly amused with this number. Heehee. Heeheehee.
70. 104 Fest and Big Day Off are the two best events of the year. Sure. When they still existed.
76. You own at least one pair of guy’s pants, no matter what sex you are.
77. Punk underground is underground no more.
82. Knowing gay or lesbian people is a commonplace. Again, confused. Is this unusual?
83. Water bottles are to be filled with vodka. Everyday. I actually know the guy who started this and got water bottles banned from all middle schools in the state.
87. You’ve discovered the cup holders at the crown can be moved up to provide, uh, “more space”. Well.
88. And you understood that the crown was a movie theatre from the moment I said it (unless you though supermarket-then you’re from West Hartford). And it, too, is no longer called the Crown. But I still miss that cartoon lion, and the way the entire theater would sing along to the Crown theme song.
9. Jay and Silent Bob were the smartest idea since, well, ever.
93. You start conversations with random people on the street on a regular basis. Again, do other people not do this?
97. GO GIANTS AND PATRIOTS! Woot!
98. You’ve seen hockey, basketball, figure skating, and a boat show all at the civic center. Minus the boat show. God, I miss the Whalers.
