Good Causes
Silly Stuff
The weather in Boston
We used to hit that Casa Bonita with the cliff divers all the time when I was a kid. Then Todd and I went there in '99 -- man that's a run-down neighborhood around it!
So how many of them were familiar for you?!!
They were fun to smile at 
Excellent! And true! LOL
Too true, too true.
What's worse, I have friends from the real South Park.
Ones that I'm familiar with: 1, 2, 3, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 27, 28, 29, 30, 33 (I don't do this but I see it happen all the time), 34, 35, 36, 37, 41 (so very Brad), 42 (friends have done this), 43.
*LOL* thats too true and very funny.
It's true for people that live in Arizona too... lol
Quality list. Number 11 is my favorite. I remember not being able to go to work because of too much snow, but then we'd go out wheelin' in it...
Bah! Real Colorado natives don't have A/C. We suffer! (Unless we've moved to Washington DC. In which case we say, "may I have some more please!")
Most important, when you are out of state you strike up conversations with people who have "Native" bumpersitckers.
You have a "Native" bumper sticker on your car.
*sniffle* I'm all homesick. When I get a new kitty, maybe I'll name it Fourteener...
Oh! Nearly forgot. You know you are from Colorado when the word T-Rex causes you to start cussing.
Clara: Whatcha gonna name the second kitty? Because I know you'll get two of them.
Also, the first thing I did when I moved here, ok, not the first thing. I went out and bought a window a/c unit. But maybe that's my NJ blood, eh?
Yup. Most of it's true.
When can I leave?
You don't get to leave. The place wouldn't be the same without you!
I LOVE COLORADO!
I do want to kick the asses of the people that told me I didn't need A/C.
It is sooooo much nicer than Florida. I definitely prefer no A/C here to being there.
Pretty much all of those are completely true!
Very clever...I especially like the last one...
~Hoddie~
Im stuck out in New York and my friends here think im a freak show cause I understand all of these things, and I miss the sun!!!!!!
NEW YORK IS BETTER THAN COLORADO ERIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
J/K CO HAS NICE SUNSETS AND VIEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm from NM and most of these apply there too! oh, and shut up JB!
