hey OM, I just got this in e-mail this a.m....
check out #13...
Here are some ways to know if you're a true Louisianan...
1. You can properly pronounce Lafayette, Bossier, Natchitoches, Opelousas,
Shongaloo, Pontchartrain, Ouachita, and you know that New Orleans doesn't
have a long "e" sound anywhere in it
2. You think people who complain about the heat in their states are
sissies.
3. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look
for a funnel.
4. You know that the true value of a parking space is not determined by the
distance to the door, but by the availability of shade.
5. Stores don't have bags, they have sacks.
6. You've seen people wear bib overalls at funerals.
7. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.
8. You measure distance in minutes.
9. Little Smokies are something you serve only for special occasions.
10. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean.
11. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.
12. You know cowpies are not made of beef.
13. Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding
date.
14. You have known someone who has a belt buckle bigger than your fist.
15. You aren't surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, beer, and bait
all in the same store.
16. A Mercedes Benz isn't a status symbol. A Chevy Silverado Extended Bed
Crew Cab Truck is.
17. You know everything goes better with 'Ranch'.
18. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply.
Finally, you are 100% Louisianian if you have ever had this conversation:
"You wanna coke?"
"Yeah."
"What kind?"
"Dr Pepper."
