You know you are from Wisconsin when.....
1) Your whole family wears green and gold to church on
Sunday.
Actually my family doesn't, we change when we get home (lol), but there a lot of little girls in my church with packers cheerleading outfits on every sunday.
4) You refer to the Packers as "we"
Actually, I never realized that, but it's true. But the packers are owned by millions of people in wisconsin who each have a few shares, rather than by one or two rich people.
5) You have gotten frostbitten andsunburned in the same week. You can identify an Illinois accent.
I have never actually gotten frosbitten and sunburned in the same weekend, although it is very possible. One week in wisconsin, we had 60 degrees, and rain, and 20 degrees and snow, a 70 degree sunny day, and a day with tornado warnings. I can't identify an Illinois accent. I can't really notice a difference, but some people can.
7) Down South to you means Chicago.
Hey it is south. Its really embarrassing, but i went to chicago a few weeks ago, and i stared at one of the buildings, and i said"wow, thats really tall". The town i live in Oak creek, isn't really that small, but i had never seen such a tall building before, not even in milwaukee, which is only like 10 minutes away
8) Traveling coast to coast means going from La Crosse to Milwaukee.
Haha.
9) A brat is something you eat.
I hate brats. But everyone eats them. I can't stand sausage either
10) You know that Eau Claire is not something you eat.
I didn't even know there was an eau claire that you could eat. I am so stereotypical wisconsinite.
11) You have no problem spelling Milwaukee.
So.
12) You consider Madison exotic.
I've never even been to madison, so maybe "foreign" is a better word.
13) You got a passport to go to Minnesota.
I have only been to Minnesota once, and it was so boring. We were just driving through to go to south dakota. There are actaully less people in Minnesota than Wisconsin, so it's pretty empty.
14) You don't have a coughing fit from one sip of Pabst Blue Ribbon.
lol. Im only 14, but i drank half a can once. That sounds really bad, but i did it my friends house one. The sad thing was, the can was REALLY old.
15) You can actually pronounce Oconomowoc.
Its really easy. Oh-Con-Oh-Moe-Wock
16) You know what a bubbler is.
Hey. I don't even know anyone that doesn't call it a bubbler. I think it is better than 'water fountain'. thats much too long
17) Your idea of creative landscaping is a statue of a cow next to your blue spruce.
I have never seen a statue of a cow in a yard before, but these people down the street have a bunch of deer models in the front lawn.
18) Your neighbor throws a party to celebrate his new machine shed.
Actually, where i live, it takes a while to get to a real farm. It's pretty suburban around here, altough the neighboorhood i live in was cornfields about 10 years ago
19) You go out for fish fry every Friday.
I dont, because I hate fish, but some people do.
20) You can recognize someone from Illinois from their driving.
Obviously i dont drive, but you can still tell by the way they always look frantic and hurried.
21) You know how to polka.
The polka is like to easiest dance in the world. And its fun
22) You drink soda and refer to your dad as "pop."
In the city where i live, and the places around it, NOBODY calls it pop, everyone calls it soda. Nobody I know calls their dad pop either.
23) Formal wear is bluejeans a baseball cap.
For my brothers it is
24) You were unaware there is a legal drinking age.
I am aware, as well as most people. But we consider is a suggestion, not a restriction
25) Your 4th of July Family Picnic was moved in doors due to frost.
Its actaully pretty hot in teh summer.
26) You know where Waukesha is AND can pronounce it.
I live really close to waukesha and its not that hard to pronounce
27) You decided to have a picnic this summer because it fell on a weekend.
Dont hate
28) You can visit Luxemburg, Holland, Belgium,Denmark, Berlin, New London, Poland all in one afternoon.
I never have, but my grandparents live in New london
29) You only know three spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup.
The simple necessities.
30) You design you Halloween costumes to fit over a snowsuit.
Acutally one year my costume was a snowsuit. I told people i was a sledder. I still got candy
31) You've seen mosquitoes with landing lights.
I hate mosquitos with a passion
32) You have more miles on your snowblower than your car.
We don't even have a snowblower at my house, but our neighbors do, so they do our driveway most of the time. Good people in wisconsin. And when they don't, get out the shovels and shovel snow for an hour, then come back in a hour to haul away the next foot of snow.
33) You enjoy driving in the winter because the potholes
fill in with snow.
It is fun
34) Your sexy lingerie is tube socks and a flannel nightie
I dont own any sexy lingerie, but if i did, no doubt it would be warm
35) You owe more money on your snowmobilethan on
your car
36) The local paper covers major headlines on 1page, but requires 4 pages for sports.
SO true, So true
39) You think the start of deer season is a national holiday.
ON the first day of deer season, you have no idea how many kids are absent. Teachers say "wheres scott", and someone says "he went huntin", the teacher just says "oh, that makes sense"
40) You find 0 degrees a little chilly.
Haha. it was 0 degrees a few days ago, and i ran outside about a mile to my friends house. with no coat, just a sweatshirt. It was like -30 with wind chill, and the school district made us go to school anyways. And then we got like 9 inches of snow, and once again we had to go. So i freeze myself at the bus stop for 20 minutes.
