You know you’re from Pennsylvania if…

You only own three spices: salt, pepper, ketchup.

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

* You have an uncontrollable urge to buy bread and milk when you hear the word “snow.”

You owe more money on your snowmobile or John Deere than your car.

Your snow blower gets stuck on your roof.

The local paper covers National and International headlines on 1/4 page but requires six pages for sports.

* 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.

* You call sloppy joes “barbecue.”

When it snows, they put cinders on the roads instead of sand.

* You pronounce “Suite” as SUIT, not SWEET. As in Living Room Suite

* You think the roads in any other state are smooth.

You find -20F “a little” chilly.

* You ask the waitress for “dippy eggs” for breakfast.

The trunk of your car doubles as a deep freezer.

The municipality buys a Zamboni before a school bus.

* You never see any Confederate Flags, except on the Gettysburg Battlefield.

* You consider Pittsburgh to be “out west,” and you know the fastest way to Philly is the Turnpike.

You have 10 favorite recipes for venison.

The first day of “Buck Season” and “Doe Season” is a school holiday.

Your snowblower gets stuck on your roof.

friday five a day late

1. How long have you had a weblog? Since Sunday April 23, 2000

2. What was your first post about? It said “Just testing this out.” and was posted at 9:21 PM. I never have and never will delete my archives.

3. How many changes (name, location, etc.) of your weblog have there been, if more than one? I originally called it “waves of the web” and it was a subpage, located at /log/ probably. It was a true weblog, full of links. Then on Saturday July 8, 2000 I decided to move it to my index page. It became titleless and a useful tool for announcing updates to my website.

4. What CMS (content management system) do you use? I started out with blogger. I then moved to greymatter when that came out and to movabletype when that came out. I’m still using movabletype, only now I’m using the mysql version. I use b2 and pmachine on other sites of mine so I’m pretty well-rounded CMS-wise.

5. Do you read people who have both a journal and a weblog? Or do you prefer to read people who have all of their writing in one central place? Yes, a lot of my friends have both. Weblogs are okay, but there’s nothing that will ever replace a nice long journal entry.

You’re from Pennsylvania if…

1. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on the highway.

5. You often switch from “Heat” to “A/C” in the same day.
6. You use a down comforter in the summer.
7. Your grandparents drive at 65mph through 13 feet of snow during a raging blizzard, without flinching.
8. You see people wearing hunting clothes at social events.
9. You install security lights on your house and garage and then leave both unlocked.
10. You think of the major food groups as deer meat, fish, and berries.
11. You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend or wife knows how to use them.
12. There are seven empty cars running in the parking lot at the Sheetz mini-mart at any given time.
13. You design your children’s Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
14. Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
15. You think sexy lingerie is tube socks and flannel pajamas.
16. You know all four seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction.
17. It takes you three hours to go to the store for one item, even when you’re in a rush, because you have to stop and talk to everyone in town.
18. You can actually eat cold pizza (even for breakfast) and know others who do the same.
19. You not only have heard of Birch Beer, but you know that it comes in several colors: Red, Blue, White, Brown, and Gold.
20. At least five people on your block have electric “candles” in all or most of their windows all year long.
21. You know what a “State Store” is, and your out of state friends find it incredulous that you can’t purchase liquor at the mini-mart.
22. You know several places to purchase or that serve Scrapple, Summer Sausage (Lebanon Bologna), and Hot Bacon Dressing.
23. Top three PENNSYLVANIA “SPORTS”: BOWLING, DARTS, POOL.
24. You can’t go to a Pennsylvania wedding without hearing the “Chicken Dance” and at least five other Polkas.
25. You actually understand these facts and send them on to your friends in PA, too!

Some of those are quite true.
Is it really a regional thing to eat cold pizza for breakfast? I love doing that.

So I had to go and do that google thing where you put “(your name) is” and search for that.
