Here's a funny one for my comrades from Michigan......
Jeff Foxworthy's Version of Michigan
If you consider it a sport to gather your food by
drilling through 18 inches of ice and sitting there all
day hoping that the food will swim by, you might live
in Michigan

If you're proud that your region makes the national
news 96 nights each year because Pelston is the coldest
spot in the nation, you might live in Michigan
If your local Dairy Queen is closed from November
through March, you might live in Michigan

If someone in a store offers you assistance, and
they don't work there, you might live in Michigan

If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around
the middle of his forehead, you might live in Michigan

If you have worn shorts and a coat at the same time,
you might live in Michigan

churches, you might live in Michigan

-You knock down little old ladies in your trying to catch Mardi Gras Beads

[DissyLove]

Nice! This is the way to learn about other areas of the country!!!

[olmec26]

Everyone who got the Buddy D joke raise your hands...[nobody raises their hands]...don't everyone jump up at once...

[DissyLove]

I must admit I can't help you with the Buddy D thing...... (this is me not raising my hands...)

[olmec26]

Buddy D was the sportscaster for about 60 or so years. Everybody knew him and loved him. He had his own show, "The Buddy D Show" on weekdays on the radio, and he had a speech impediment. He died just recently. I am honored to attend the same school as Buddy Diliberto.

You know the name of the city you live in is "N'awlins"

Which is located in Orleans ( but pronounced Orleens) County

[disneydame2004]

You're truly from Lawn Guylan (Long Island) if you can relate to any of the following:

1. You've always liked Billy Joel and you own several of his "records."
2. You 'pawk' your 'caw' on the driveway, and drive on the parkway.
3. You've seen a concert at Jones Beach - the best place in the world to see a show.
4. If you're not from Long Island, or the Five Boroughs, you're not really from "NEW YAWK."
5. You don't go to Manhattan, you go to "the City"
6. When someone asks you "where are you from?", you don't say NY...You say "from Lawn Guylan"... Like it was already the 51st state.
7. You never, ever, want to "change at Jamaica."
8. You never realize you have an accent until you leave. (Or until you go back for a visit, and everyone sounds funny)
9. Good pizza is located no more than ten minutes away. From anyplace. Same with good bagels.
10. You know you live "ON" Long Island, not "IN" Long Island like he said on Everybody Loves Raymond.
11. You know at least 3 pizza places and 3 Chinese restaurants in your town. Most likely at lot more.
12. Although they are within close driving range, you may not have visited the Empire State building, the Statue of Liberty, the Museum of Natural History, etc. (But you HAVE been to Radio City at least one time)
13. You replace the letter "r" from the end of words that end with "r", with "ah". (i.e. watah... beah, mothah, fathah, sistah, brothah)

15. You've gone to the diner at 2:00 am.
16. You've had a seagull **** on your car at Jones Beach or Robert Moses.
17. Either your parents or your grandparents lived in the city. (or one of the five boroughs)
18. You know it's "The L.I.E." or "The Expressway", never "495". And you know exactly why it is called "the world's longest parking lot".
19. You or someone you know has owned an animal that came from North Shore Animal League.
20. You don't have to go far to see your family.
21. You know or are related to someone who worked for Grumman. And it will always be called Grumman.
22. You can correctly pronounce places like Hauppauge, Ronkonkoma, Islandia & Massapequa.
23. Doesn't everyone in the country pay at least $6000 a year in property taxes, on a Levitt sized home? (smaller than houses seen on Everybody Loves Raymond)
24. You know that the town of Baldwin is not named after The Baldwins. They're from Massapequa, DUH!
25. You hate when people, not from NY, try to do "the accent." Ouch!

There's a website with a whole bunch of these from all over at:

Amen to that!!

Anyway...Krewe of Atlas is probably going to be rained out tonight...bummer. Anyway, Caesar rolls tomorrow night! All hail Caesar! And on Sunday, the Krewes of Reha, Mercury, and Centurions are on! Happy Mardi Gras!!!!

[tiggerguy]

22. You can correctly pronounce places like Hauppauge, Ronkonkoma, Islandia & Massapequa.

I am not from Lawn Guy Land (as I have heard it called ) but I know how to pronounce them.
It could be because I listen to WCBS NewsRadio all the time. I am from southeastern CT.

The L.I.E has a number? I've always thought it was just the L.I.E (I grew up in Southwestern CT and listen to BLI)

Yeah, it's interstate 495 on the maps and a few road signs, but hardly anybody from the Island will call it that!

I have friends in Southern CT, and they also agree that the best radio reception comes from stations across the Long Island Sound.

The funniest experience I've had with Long Island town names was a time I called a mid-western company to find out where I could buy their product. The very helpful CS rep ran down a list of towns and mangled the names so badly: Massapequa Park, Speonk, Mattituck, Quogue, Syosset. Finally she got to Islip, and gleefully says "oh, finally, an easy one -"IS-lip!". Unfortunately, it's pronounced "I-slip" and it was very hard not to giggle.

[olmec26]

Adding another one to the N'awlins list because this just happened to one of my friends!

Your house doesn't get "rolled", it gets "beaded".
