Topic: You know you are from Pennsylvania when: | |
---|---|
You have an uncontrollable urge to buy bread and milk when you hear the word "snow."
You say the correct pronunciation LANG-kist-er instead of the mispronounced Lan-CAST-er, and LEB-en-in instead of the equally incorrect Leb-a-NON. You know the only way to make good fastnachts is to cook them in LARD. You live within two miles of a plant that makes potato chips, corn chips,pretzels, candy, or ice cream, or that packages turkeys, beans, or bologna. You can stop along the road to buy fruits, vegetables, or crafts on the "honor system." You know what REAL pot pie is. YOUR turkey has "filling," not "stuffing," and most certainly, NOT "dressing." You know that chicken corn soup from a fire house is the most nearly perfect food on earth. You say things like, "Outen the lights," "I'm calling off today," and "They're calling for snow." You've heard of distelfinks and hex signs. You only buy your beer and soda by the case. You think the roads in any other state are smooth. You know the Penn State cheer, and although you've never attended PennState, you are a most obnoxious Penn State fan. (WE ARE...ANNOYING!) Hearing horses clopping down a paved street doesn't bring you to the window to see what's going on outside. You prefer Hershey's Chocolate to Godiva. You consider Pittsburgh to be "out west," and you know the fastest way to Philly is the Turnpike. School closings due to snow take the radio stations a half an hour to finish, because just about every town has its own school district. When someone says 1972, you think "Agnes," and when someone says 1979, you think "TMI." You call sloppy joes "barbecue." When it snows, they put cinders on the roads instead of sand. You can give directions to Intercourse with a straight face. Know that Yuengling is pronounced "Ying-ling," and believe that it really is a premium beer (which comes from growing up on Schlitz and Iron City). Have the Rolling Rock bottle memorized: "From the glass lined tanks of Old Latrobe, we tender this premium beer for your enjoyment. . . . " Know that Wilkes-Barre is pronounced "Wilks Berry." Can pronounce "Knoebels." Can pronounce (or spell) "Schuylkill." Live for summer, when street fairs signal the beginning of funnel cake season. Have a day off school on the Monday after Thanksgiving, which is the first day of hunting season. Never have to worry about being stuck in a ditch when it's snowing. -someone in a 4WD pickup with tow chains will be along shortly. Elect pro-life Democrats and pro-choice Republicans for Governor (i.e., Casey and Ridge) Frequently go "with," e.g., "You going to the market? Mind if I come with?" Refer to something as "a whole nother," e.g., "That's a whole nother issue." |

Just sharing some lyrics ... Do you Know What a Wawa is? I do
Pennsylvania We are "cop rock" we are screech We are Z. Cavaricci We are laser removed Tasmanian devil tattoos We are third string we are puck We are special people's club We are the half shirts with Irreverent spring break top ten lists We are munsoned we are squat We are flashing twelve o'clock We are spread out butt cheeks Pulled apart so just the air leaks We are "ishtar" we are tab We are no right turn on red We are the moustaches The Beatles grew when they dropped acid You are the heart dotting "i" In the word "apologize" Scribbled drunk on a postcard Sent from somewhere volcanoes are I am the heart with no name Airbrushed on the license plate Of a subaru that was Registered in Pennsylvania We are zima we are barf We are cinderblock yard art We are Baldwin brothers Not the good one but the others We are Amway we are shemp We are sir David of Brent We are the queef after A porn star breaks the gang bang record You are the heart dotting "i" In the word "apologize" Scribbled drunk on a postcard Sent from somewhere volcanoes are I am the heart with no name Airbrushed on the license plate Of a subaru that was Registered in Pennsylvania Do you even know what a Wawa is girl? Do you even know what a Wawa is? Do you even know what a Wawa is girl? Do you even know what a Wawa is? I'm in a state of P f*ckin' A |

Sigh, my home state. However, the Philly accent was beaten out of me in Miami with 4 years of speech therapy. |
