Just wanted to add this again, because I know how much SWTXBelle wants to be an El Pasoan



You know you're from El Paso....

You know that the only two seasons are summer and Christmas.

You know it's the first day of Spring because the wind gusts hit 50 mph.

You know that it only snows if it was at least 75 the day before.

You cringe whenever you see a CHIH MEX license plate.

You can get sunburned and wind burned in the same hour.

You don't go near the Rio Grande. Ever.

You think that anyone who lives on the West side drives a BMW and all the people on the East side are gangsters.

The only national monuments you have been to are White Sands and the Chamizal.

You have a least four T-shirts that have "In loving memory" on the back.

You've gotten sunburned on a cloudy day.

You know where the "real" first Thanksgiving took place.

You thinkg Western Playland is the place to be in the summer.

You have tried to fry an egg on the sidewalk in July.

You invest a great deal of money in hair spray in the spring.

The only thing you stocked up on for Y2K were tortillas.

You know what all those letters on the mountain stand for.

You can see three different states and two countries from your backyard.

The first place you go when you come back in town is Chico's Tacos.

When you are lost in Juarez at night, you can always find your way back by looking for the star on the mountain.

Seeing the Asarco tower gives you that warm and fuzzy home feeling.

You have talked about leaving for about ten years, but you are still here.

If there is no sun for several days in a row you think that it is the sign of the apocalypse.

You are mesmerized by the arches that turn colors on Interstate 10.

You think that a Texan accent is a Spanish accent.

You no longer associate bridges with water.

You can say 110 degrees without fainting.

You learn that a seat belt makes a pretty good branding iron.

You discover that in July it takes only two fingers to drive your car.

You discover that you can get a sunburn through your car window.

You know the best parking place is determined by shade
instead of distance.

You actually burn your hand opening the car door.

You get claustrophobic from simply looking at more than four trees.

Your front lawn doesn't' have grass but rocks.

You drag all of your friends and family from out of town to go see Viva El Paso.

You understand and relate to George Lopez.

You know that if the official rain gauge was located anywhere other than the El Paso International Airport, El Paso would receive more than eight inches of rain annually

Instead of boiling Easter eggs, you drain the yoke out, paint them, stuff them with confetti and then crack them on people's heads

You know you're from El Paso when your Homecoming Corsage completely covers the dress you bought at Dillards.
