Absolutely hilarious! I went to highschool in NOVA and I've lived in NW/tenleytown and Bethesda....

Some of these are soo true.

I have one thing to add though...

Although you know that driving on ANY major road b/w the hours of 3 and 7 is practically murder, you drive anyway bc you'd never be seen walking anywhere.

You know when I read through these I realize that South/Southeastern wisconsin people can relate to a lot of these as well.....hahaha, yes we get those damn empire commercials all the freaking time :)

You're not the only one! :D Since WGN is nationally syndicated, I remember those commercials during the Saturday Afternoon Movie.

I would do one of these for Florida, but since South Florida and North Florida are two different states altogether...

Re: NEW ORLEANS!!!
 

LOL! That happened to me today!

...your accent sounds nothing like Harry Connick, Jr's.

Don't forget "Seafood city, very pretty!

My mom was at Mardi Gras 2 days before I was born! Out catching Rex and the truck parades on St. Charles

When we got those last 2 last fall I was really hoping that Nash would abandon his wife for just a few days to come back to us. I don't trust anyone else!

Of course! FI had some green snowball on his shoes for the longest time.

Also, its a snow BALL not a snow cone.

Of course, its instead of "brown gravy" ;)

Actually, my middle name is my mother's mother's great grandfather's last name. My first name is some other relative way back. Everyone in my family has a recycled name.

RIP K&B :(

Some others:

You have "French quarter" or "Mardi gras" shoes

You know what it means to order your sandwich dressed

You're seriously considering naming your first child McKenzie in homage to the now deceased bakery

You watched Popeye and Pals as a kid on Saturday Mornings.

Your wedding reception is buffet-style. Who can party when you've got a sit-down dinner going on?

You give directions in terms of the position of the river and the lake

You know what a "who-dat" is - and you may possibly be one

You remember when Seth Green was just the Cha-Ching guy on the Rally's commercials

So so true... I've lived in both Northern Va and Southern Va and they are NOTHING alike!!! My life does revolve around finding a parking space. Tourists probably think we're all stalkers going "Are you leaving? Can I have your space? Great, I'll follow you!" BTW, Aren't we about due for some 'splodin manholes this year? It's sure hot enough already!

Just what I was thinking too - I think Chicago and Milwaukee should form their own state and let the reject rest of Wisconsin and Illinois merge as well.

here are the supposed top 10 reasons to make BC your home... of course it picks on many of the BC stereotypes...


1. Weed
2. Vancouver: 1.5 million people and two bridges
3. The local hero is a pot-smoking snowboarder
4. The local wine doesn't taste like malt vinegar
5. Your $400,000 Vancouver home is 5 hours from downtown
6. A university with a nude beach
7. You can throw a rock and hit three Starbucks locations
8. If a cop pulls you over, just offer them some of your hash
9. There's always some sort of deforestation protest going on
10. Cannabis
