Ok, most of you have probably already seen this... But I just got it today & I'm going to share!
A winter statistic:
98% OF AMERICANS SCREAM BEFORE GOING IN THE DITCH ON A SLIPPERY ROAD. THE OTHER 2% ARE FROM COLORADO AND THEY SAY, "HOLD MY SODA AND WATCH THIS".
NOW:
- You're from Colorado if You'll eat ice cream in the winter.
- When the weather report says it's going to be 65 degrees, you shave your legs and wear a skirt.
- It snows 5 inches and you don't expect school to be cancelled.
- You'll wear flip flops every day of the year, regardless of temperature.
- You have no accent at all, but can hear other people's. And then you make fun of them.
- 'Humid' is over 25%.
- Your sense of direction is: Toward the mountains and Away from the mountains.
- You say 'the interstate' and everybody knows which one.
- You think that May is a totally normal month for a blizzard.
- You buy your flowers to set out on Mother's day, but try and hold off planting them until just before Father's day.
- You grew up planning your Halloween costumes around your coat.
- You know what the Continental Divide is.
- You don't think Coors beer is that big a deal.
- You went to Casa Bonita as a kid, and as an adult.
- You've gone off-roading in a vehicle that was never intended for such activities.
- You always know the elevation of where you are.
- You wake up to a beautiful, 80 degree day and you wonder if it's going to snow tomorrow.
- **You don't care that some company renamed it, the Broncos still play at Mile High**
- Every movie theater has military and student discounts.
- Everybody wears jeans to church.
- You actually know that ** South Park ** is a real place not just a show on TV.
- You know what a 'trust fund hippy' is, and you know its natural habitat is Boulder .
- You know you're talking to a fellow Coloradoan when they call it Elitches, not Six Flags.
- A bear on your front porch doesn't bother you.
- Your two favorite teams are the Broncos and whoever is beating the crap out of the Raiders.
- When people out East tell you they have mountains in their state too, you just laugh.
- You go anywhere else on the planet and the air feels 'sticky' and you notice the sky is no longer blue.
I think my favorite is #11, or #15, maybe#21....they are all so true!
And it will always be Elitches and Mile High! Forever!
Aloha~
