Joined: December 2003 Posts: 1889 Location: Central Massachusetts | With all the Northwesterners around here, thought this would be fun to share.. it's surprisingly accurate... You Know You're From the Northwest When... 1. You know the state flower (mildew). 2. You feel guilty throwing aluminum cans or paper in the trash. 3. You use the statement "sun break" and know what it means. 4. You know more than 10 ways to order coffee. 5. You know more people who own boats than air conditioners. 6. You feel overdressed wearing a suit to a nice restaurant. 7. You stand on a deserted corner in the rain without an umbrella waiting for the "Walk" signal. 8. You consider that if it has no snow or has not recently erupted, it is not a real mountain. 9. You can taste the difference between Starbucks, Seattle's Best, and Veneto's. 10. You know the difference between Chinook, Coho, and Sockeye salmon. 11. You know how to pronounce Sequim, Puyallup, Issaquah, Oregon and Willamette. 12. You consider swimming an indoor sport. 13. You can tell the difference between Japanese, Chinese and Thai food. 14. In winter, you go to work in the dark and come home in the dark while only working 8 hour shifts. 15. You never go camping without waterproof matches and a poncho. 16. You are not fazed by "Today's forecast: showers followed by rain," and "Tomorrow's forecast: rain followed by showers." 17. You cannot wait for a day with "showers and sun breaks." 18. You have no concept of humidity without precipitation. 19. You know that Boring is a town in Oregon and not just a state of mind. 20. You can point to at least two volcanoes, even if you cannot see through the cloud cover. 21. You notice "the mountain is out" when it is a pretty day and you can actually see it. 22. You put on your shorts and fire up the barbecue when the temperature gets above 50, but still wear your hiking boots and parka. 23. You switch to your sandals when it gets about 60, but keep the socks on. 24. You have actually used your mountain bike on a mountain. 25. You think people who use umbrellas are wimps, tourists or women with a good hair day going. 26. You knew immediately that the view out of Frasier's window was a fake. 27. You buy new sunglasses every year, because you can't find the old ones after such a long time. Or better yet, you continue to wear your sunglasses on cloudy and rainy days. 28. You measure distance in drive time. 29. You often switch from "heat" to "a/c" in the same day. 30. You use a down comforter in the summer. 31. You carry jumper cables in your car and your wife knows how to use them. 32. You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit under a raincoat. 33. You know all the important seasons: Almost Winter (Winter), Still raining (Spring) Road construction (Summer), Deer & Elk season (Fall). 34. You actually understand these jokes and forward them to all your friends in the Northwest or those who used to live here! Waskel, have a safe journey. print this out to remind you of home!...  | ||
