I'm bored. . .

Someone sent this to me so I'm gonna pass it on to my loyal readers.

25 Things That Show You Are From Philadelphia

25. First of all, you call it Philly, not Philadelphia.

24. You hate Dallas.
...damn them Cowboys to heck and back!

23. You realize that your favorite dessert is "wooder ice".

22. You find yourself using "yo" and "youse guys" when talking long-distance to family members.

21. You stand 'in line' vs 'on line' when waiting for tickets.

20. You know how to spell Schuylkill.

19. You pronounce ACME "ACK-A-ME".

18. You think that $2,500 a year for insurance on a 1977 Toyota Corolla is a bargain.

17. You find yourself at a nice restaurant thinking "I wonder if they have cheese steaks?"

16. You sleep soundly through gunfire and ambulance sirens.

15. You visit New York and are impressed by how clean it is.

14. You believe the car on your left (with turn signal flashing and the driver pointing at your lane) wants you to close the gap with the car in front of you.

13. You can't eat french fries without Cheese Whiz or a cheese steak with ketchup.

12. You call sprinkles on top of your ice cream cone "jimmies".

11. You call it a hoagie, not a sub or hero sandwich.
What the hell is a hero?

10. You don't think Wawa sounds funny.

9. You snub a cheese steak that isn't on an Amoroso roll.

8. Your parents, brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles all live on the same block.
I'm so breaking this trend.

7. You know who Jim O'Brien is and how he died.

I can't imagine life without Tastycakes.

5. You're still not sure about Jerry Penacolli.

3. You know where to find the Rocky statue.

2. You know that only tourists go to Geno's, Pat's and Jim's for authentic cheese steaks. You only go if you're drunk and it's 3:00am.

AND THE NUMBER ONE SIGN YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM PHILADELPHIA...

1. You buy a soft pretzel at a traffic light without wondering where the guy goes to wash his hands. And you know what? You don't even care!
This one is the absolute truth. Seriously.


Of course most of you aren't even from Philly, so you'll probably wonder why I couldn't find anything better to talk about. Heh.

go Eagles.
