You Know You're From Milwaukee When...
You've been to the Rep and could smell beer, brats, and kraut. You drive around with little Green Bay Packers flags on your car. You and your friends spend all day Sunday drinking at the bar, bashing the Cubs. You don't know that Schlitz, Blatz, and Pabst aren't brewed in Milwaukee anymore You know people who have tied dead animals to the hoods of their cars. You know what a "Supper Club" is. You've eaten beer, brats, and kraut for breakfast. You think "The Safe House" is better than Disneyworld. You won't let a car from out of state go faster than you. You call Air Force Ones Dookies. No matter where you go you see the Jesus Car - and can't understand what's coming out the speakers. You cruised Hwy 100 or Sherman Ave. To you, Martin Luther King Drive is still 3rd St. and Cesar Chavez Drive is still 16th St. You know/use the term 'bubbler'. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Milwaukee. .
..oh great they talked about the jesus car!
You Know You're From Wisconsin When...
You can taste a difference in cheese made somewhere else. You own at least one tie with a or peice of jewelry with a Green Bay Packer theme. You can find and pronounce : Eau Claire, Oconomowoc, Menomonee Falls, Waukesha, and La Crosse, Fond du Lac. You can correctly spell Milwaukee. You know what "bubbler" means. At least one of your family members works / worked in a cheese factory. A holstein cow outside of Wisconsin makes you miss home. You can taste the difference between apples grown up north and the ones that you can buy in the south. When talking about the Green Bay Packers you refer to them as "we". When the weather hits 0 degrees you decide that maybe it's time to get out a jacket instead of a sweatshirt. The family gets together every week for fish fry at the local pub. You know what a brat is, and they're at every outdoor event that your family has ever had. You know how to make a very good sled out of normal household items. Your love you outdoor pool because of how it doubles as an ice skating area during the winter. You can tell the difference between the smell of cow manure and pig manure. You have watched Fargo and not noticed an accent. You drive around with the air conditioning on until it hits 30 degrees, because it just was so darn hot outside. The local paper needs 6 pages to cover the Packers... in July! Your best shirt has a big letter G on it. You've said "Of course they'll win. They're God's team." You think it's nice enough to swim when the temperature hits 50. You family owns a "winter car" while the "good one" sits in the garage from Nov-Apr. You put ketchup on a charcoal grilled NY strip steak. You live in a house that has no front steps, yet the door is one yard above the ground. You think everyone from south of Madison has an accent. You can identify a Michigan accent. Down South to you means Chicago. Traveling coast to coast means going from Superior to Milwaukee. You can make sense out of the words "upnort" and "Trivers". You have to go to Florida to get a tan in August. You consider Madison exotic. You can visit Luxemburg, Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Berlin, New London & Poland all in one afternoon. You can recognize someone from Illinois from their driving. You buy cat litter every winter, but you don't own a cat. At least twice a year, the kitchen doubles as a meat processing plant or cannery. You know what to do with a Blatz. You don't have a coughing fit from one sip of Pabst Blue Ribbon. Bucky the Badger hangs on your Christmas tree even if you didn't go to University of Wisconsinm Madison. You're a member of the Polar Bear Club and proud of it. You can use the word "ya der hey" easily in a sentence You hear someone use the words "uff-dah" and you don't immediately break into uncontrollable laughter. Your whole family wears green and gold to church on Sunday. Your idea of creative landscaping is a statue of a cow next to your blue spruce. You know how to polka. You own a cheesehead. You have cow pharaphenilia around your house, including your pajama pants. You know what a FIB is and can spot them a mile away. You think of the major four food groups as cheese, beer, brats and Jell-O salad with marshmallows. FFA was the most popular club in high school. You have eaten a cow pie at the State Fair. There was at least one kid in your class who had to help milk cows in the morning. Country Kitchen is the place to meet after the party. You have ever seen or played in a "broom ball" game. You have ever partied at Summerfest, Festa Italiana, German Fest, Irish Fest, Oktoberfest, or all of the above. You or someone you know was a "Dairy Princess" at a county fair. You can't be friends with a Vikings fan. Your idea of diversity is having black, white, and brown cows. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Wisconsin.
*got from jamie!* these are soo true, for the most part. lmao!
