You Know You're From Ohio When...

You say ya'll ... many times a day. Bedlam is a BIG deal. You can tell when it's tornado weather. When you drive through a neighborhood anyone out walking will smile and wave at you. You've worn flip flops in the winter You have stopped to let a family of deer cross the road. You thought the twister ride at Universal Studios wasn't windy enough. You know who your neighbors are, how many children they have, and when one of them gets married or graduates. There are at least 2 to 3 Sonics, McDonalds, and Little Ceasars in your town You've been off roading - many times You or someone you know was born, raised and still lives in the same town. You know that Miami, Oklahoma and Miami, Florida are pronounced two different ways. You plan events around football games. You are a Cowboy or Sooners fan. You learned how to do country and western dances at school. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel. You can properly pronounce Eufaula, Gotebo, Okemah and Chickasha. You can remember the name of the last state legislator to introduce a bill involving castration, and he didn't mean farm animals. You know exactly what calf fries are, and eat them anyway. You think that people who complain about the wind in other states are sissies. It doesn't bother you to use an airport named for a man who died in an airplane crash. You have owned at least one belt buckle bigger than your fist. A bad traffic jam involves two cars staring each other down at a four-way stop, each determined to be the most polite and let the other go first. It doesn't seem odd to see the term "chicken fried chicken" on a menu. You save all your life for your dream vacation, and use it to go to the OU/Texas game. It doesn't seem peculiar if your sweetie says "I'm going in to town for something" even though you live in town. You don't turn on the news until 20 minutes past the hour, because that's the only thing you care about anyway. Your quarterback is hurt and it is the top story on the six o'clock news. You keep track of the grain and hog futures on the radio. You don't buy all your vegetables at the grocery store. You go to the State Fair for your only vacation. You get up at 5:30 A.M. and go to the coffee shop, where the waitress never asks what you would like. She already knows. You are on a first name basis with the county sheriff. You know what the "Sea of Red and White" is. You think that using the elevator involves a corn truck. You can drive 80 mph on a two-lane dirt road with one hand, but driving 45 mph on a four-lane expressway in a city scares you to death. You use manure on your grass instead of Weed and Feed. Your nearest neighbor is in the next zip code. You know the difference between fee corn and sweet corn... while it's still on the stalk. You wear cowboy boots to church. You know that everything goes better with Ranch. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply. "You wanna Coke?" "Yeah." "What kind?" "Dr. Pepper." You know what "Orange Power" and "Crimson & Cream" means. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Oklahoma.

More cool things for your blog at

1) I haven't been to Universal studios.
2) We actually never knew that much about our neighbors in the town I lived most of my life in. The area was actually strangely non-friendly for a small town.
3) The town I was from did not have 3 of any of the fast food restaurants named. In fact, we only got a sonic 5 yrs ago and they just built the world's smallest McD's this past year. And I'm not joiking, it's tiny...as in the menu stretches the entire width of the restaurant and there are only tables!!!
4) I've never been off-roading. i did however get a go-cart for my 12th birthday because my mother wanted an excuse to never buy me a motorcycle like my brother. Supposedly I'm more into taking risks than he is *snort*.
5) I've never eaten calf fries. I also never paid attention to the state legislature. men with that little education are scary.
6) I've never been to an OU/TX game nor gone on vacation to see a football game. I did freeze my ass off at one hs football game as a flower girl of homecoming though.
7) I don't keep track of grain or hog futures
8) I'm not on a first name basis w/ the county sheriff. Mostly because I believed all the stories my father told me about the fact that some of them might remember him from his young and wild days.
9) Never used manure on my lawn and I've always known what an elevator was.
10) I don't eat ranch on anything and always thought people who did were odd (only knew one growing up in OK).
11) I was never taught how to shoot any gun other than a bb gun and wasn't taught that till I was older than 10.
12) We don't call soda coke in my part of the state. It is and always will be: pop.

And all of this simply means that while I'm from OK, I'm not a hick from OK. Just so we're clear (in case there are any texans on here).
