    You don't think of Florida first when someone mentions Miami.

    You snicker when someone's from Tiffin, because you think of the State Hospital.

    You think Pro football teams are supposed to wear orange!

    You've heard of 3.2% beer.

    Schools close for the state basketball tournament.

    You're proud of your state fair, but would rather go to Cedar Point.

    You live less than 30 miles from some college or university.

    You know what a buckeye really is, and have a recipe for candy ones.

    "Toward the lake" means "north" and "toward the river" means "south."

    You've heard of the Great Nickel Beer Night Riot.

    You know if other Ohioians are from southern or northern Ohio as soon as they open their mouths.

    You root for a college team though you've never taken a class there.

    You can spell words like Cuyahoga, Olentangy, Bellefontaine, and Tuscarawas

    You always visit more than two amusement parks in one summer.

    Some of the better ones.

    You have a broken windshield.
    You see no reason to travel to Aurora.
    You thought "Californication" would be banned by Amendment 2.
    You think "South Park" is a place to stop for gas on your way to Buena Vista.
    You get depressed after one day of foggy weather.

    North means "mountains to the left;" south is "mountains to the right;" and east and west are where all those damned liberals keep moving in from.

    You go anywhere else on the planet and the air feels "sticky" and you notice the sky is no longer blue.
    You think gun control is a steady hand.
    You've stood on solid ground and looked down on an airplane in flight.
    You know what the "Peoples Republic of Boulder" means.
    You see someone riding a Harley in a snowstorm, and you look closer to see if it's anyone you know.
    "Timberline" is someplace you have actually been. Many times.
    A bear on your front porch doesn't bother you nearly as much as a Democrat in Congress does.
    Having a Senator named Nighthorse doesn't seem strange.
    You've used "checking for ticks" as an excuse to get someone naked.

    You get a certain feeling of satisfaction from knowing that California and Texas are both downstream [}:)] [;)] [:D]

    You know what and where the Continental Divide is.

    The gene pool needs chlorine.

    You measure driving distance in terms of hours (i.e. How far to Buffalo? Oh, about an hour and a half...)

    A drive to the market to pick up a "few things" takes an hour because you know half the people in the store and must stop to chat...

    There are 4 seasons, almost winter, winter, still winter, and construction...

    Everyone leaves their cars running in a supermarket parking lot in the winter...

    Your girlfriend has jumper cables in her car, and knows how to use them...

    If you've ever been late to work because of a traffic jam, which consists of either a tractor or a snowplow on a rural road...

    You know several people who have hit a deer...more than once...

    There are 3 main spices, salt, pepper, and ketchup...

    You save Genesee Beer for "special occasions"....

    You're girlfriend (wife) wears flannel pj's and hunting socks to bed, and you think of that as lingeree....[:D][:D][:D]

    Half of your clothes are from L.L. Bean

    You rather vacation in New Zealand than Florida

    Motorcycle Weekend is the highlight of your summer

    You go out of state and don't understand what "tax" means on your receipt

    You can identify a Massachusetts accent.

    You can actually pronounce Kancamagus.

    You can recognize someone from Massachusetts from their driving.


    Ayuh, sounds about right. Especially that last one!
