Tkers...Killing threads seven days a week!

[MagiKitty]

oh it got dark out there! We're under severe thunderstorm watch this afternoon. Hail possible!

jenn...I really laughed at that post. I absolutely do measure distance in hours! I should forward that to my sister....she's moving to Rochester in July. And I don't even have a door on my garage! Too funny.

But you forgot: How about "you get the first day of hunting season off"? Or "the only sauce for chicken wings is bleu cheese". Seriously, when someone asked me what sauce I wanted with my wing order, I couldn't figure out what he meant!

[BKMETV]

Is anyone flying AirTran sometime soon? Or know someone who is? I just recieved a $25 voucher but it has to be used before the end of this month....

Nope...we're flying Southwest.

We have the same jokes for Canadian with a few minor changes. The four seasons one is so true!

I remember watching "Bowling for Colombine" when Michael Moore crossed the border to see if it was true that people didn't lock their doors...he went through a whole neighbourhood and all the front doors were unlocked. When he asked the one lady why she didn't lock it she looked at him like he was from another planet!!

We have one like that New York one for PA. And if you are from PA you always PA and not Pennsylvania.

* 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.

* 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."

I'm sure you probably won't get some of the jokes but here goes:

You know you're Canadian when:

You stand in "line-ups" at the movie, not lines.

You're not offended by the term "**** Milk".

You understand the sentence, "Could you please pass me a serviette, I just spilled my poutine."

You eat chocolate bars instead of candy bars.

You drink pop, not soda.

You know what it means to be on pogey.

You know that a mickey and 2-4's mean "Party at the camp, eh!"

You can drink legally while still a teen.

You talk about the weather with strangers and friends alike.

You don't know or care about the fuss with Cuba, it's just a cheap place to travel with good cigars and no Americans.

When there is a social problem, you turn to your government to fix it instead of telling them to stay out of it.

You're not sure if the leader of your nation has EVER had sex and you really don't want to know if he has!

You get milk in bags as well as cartons and plastic jugs.

Pike is a type of fish, not some part of a highway.

You drive on a highway, not a freeway.

You know what a Robertson screwdriver is.

You have Canadian Tire money in your kitchen drawers.

You know that Casey and Finnegan are not a Celtic musical group.

You participated in "Participaction."

You have an Inuit carving by your bedside with the rationale, "What's good enough protection for the Prime Minister is good enough for me."

You wonder why there isn't a 5 dollar coin yet.

Unlike any international assasin/terrorist/spy in the world, you don't possess a Canadian passport.

You use a red pen on your non-Canadian textbooks and fill in the missing 'u's from labor, honor, and color.

You know the French equivalents of "free", "prize", and "no sugar added", thanks to your extensive education in bilingual cereal packaging.

You are excited whenever an American television show mentions Canada.

You make a mental note to talk about it at work the next day.

You can do all the hand actions to Sharon, Lois and Bram's "Skin-a-ma-rinky-dinky-doo" opus.

You can eat more than one maple sugar candy without feeling nauseous.

You were mad when "The Beachcombers" were taken off the air.
