New Englanders
« on: Dec 21, 2005, 07:35 AM »
Enjoy....some I agree with some I don't.

* If you consider  it a sport to gather your food by drilling through
36 inches of  ice and sitting there all day hoping  it will swim by, you might live in New  England.

*If you're proud that your region makes the national news 96 nights each year because Mt.  Washington is the coldest spot in the  nation, and Boston gets more snow than any other major city in the US, you live in New England.

*If  your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May, you live in New  England.

*If you instinctively walk like a penguin for six months out of the year, you live in New  England.

*If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance, and they don't work  there, you live in New  England.

*If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you live  in New England.

*If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong  number, you live in New  England.

*YOU KNOW YOU ARE A  NEW ENGLANDER WHEN:

      "Vacation" means  going anywhere south of New York City for  the weekend.

      You measure distance  in hours.

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

      You  have switched from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day, and  back again.

      You can drive 65 mph  through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without  flinching.

      You install security lights  on your house and garage, but leave both unlocked.

      You carry jumper  cables in your car and your girlfriend/wife knows how to use  them.

      You design your kid's Halloween  costume to fit over a snowsuit.

       Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.

      You know all 4 seasons:  almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction.

      Your idea of  creative landscaping is a statue of a deer next to your blue spruce.

      "Down South" to you means  Philadelphia.

      Your neighbor throws a  party to celebrate his new shed.

      Your  4th of July picnic was moved indoors due to  frost.

      You have more miles on your  snow blower than your car.

      You find 10  degrees "a little chilly."
"You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline - it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer."

This is pretty funny. I thought I would bump it so you guys could get a laugh. This just goes to show you how much this place has grown in the last few years.
If fishing was work I'd never be sick!

you know you're a new englander residing in Massachusetts when you re-elect a bunch of tax and spend, life long politicians.
