Not photoshooped Brian, that's how all of us Georgia kids are potty trained.

I'm sorry, I forgot you're not a TRUE FLORIDIAN but merely a transplant :no

At least you're not from Ohio.

And for the record, I'm a USF grad from the days when they were still called the Brahmas (but the folks from GA didn't know what a Brahma was so they changed it to the Bulls).

Oh and BTW, one side of my family is from Athens (we owned the Athens Banner Herald back in "the day") and I've eaten at the Varsity with Vince Dooley sitting at our table. Shouldn't you be a GT fan anyway?? :D
 
Ok, we can play THAT game!!!

You know you are from Pennsylvania when:

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

You say the correct pronunciation LANG-kist-er instead of the mispronounced Lan-CAST-er, and LEB-en-in instead of the equally incorrect Leb-a-NON.

You know the only way to make good fastnachts is to cook them in LARD.

You live within two miles of a plant that makes potato chips, corn chips,pretzels, candy, or ice cream, or that packages turkeys, beans, or bologna.

You can stop along the road to buy fruits, vegetables, or crafts on the "honor system."

You know what REAL pot pie is.

YOUR turkey has "filling," not "stuffing," and most certainly, NOT "dressing."

You know that chicken corn soup from a fire house is the most nearly perfect food on earth.

You say things like, "Outen the lights," "I'm calling off today," and "They're calling for snow."

You've heard of distelfinks and hex signs.

You only buy your beer and soda by the case.

You think the roads in any other state are smooth.

You know the Penn State cheer, and although you've never attended PennState, you are a most obnoxious Penn State fan.

You know what "goin' up" means on a Penn State Home game day (whether you are North, South, East OR West of State College)

Hearing horses clopping down a paved street doesn't bring you to the window to see what's going on outside.

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

You prefer Hershey's Chocolate to Godiva.

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

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.

When someone says 1972, you think "Agnes," and when someone says 1979, you think "TMI."

You call sloppy joes "barbecue."

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

You can give directions to Intercourse with a straight face.

Know that Yuengling is pronounced "Ying-ling," and believe that it really is a premium beer (which comes from growing up on Schlitz and Iron City).

Have the Rolling Rock bottle memorized: "From the glass lined tanks of Old Latrobe, we tender this premium beer for your enjoyment. . . . "

Know that Wilkes-Barre is pronounced "Wilks Berry." (South Florida tech divers take note!)

Can pronounce "Knoebels."

Can pronounce (or spell) "Schuylkill."

Live for summer, when street fairs signal the beginning of funnel cake season.

Have a day off school on the Monday after Thanksgiving, which is the first day of hunting season.

Never have to worry about being stuck in a ditch when it's snowing. -someone in a 4WD pickup with tow chains will be along shortly.

Frequently go "with," e.g., "You going to the market? Mind if I come with?"

Refer to something as "a whole nother," e.g., "That's a whole nother issue."

LOL. Very Good. Dated a girl from that part of the world. :)
 
I feel short-changed. Where's the Wawa joke?? (my wife is from NE Philly)
BTW, Tastykake Chocolate Juniors Rule!

Haven't thought about Wawas in years- not since I moved down here from New Hope, Pa in '91...
