Mile High Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 If you consider it a sport to sit in a ice hut all day long with a rod and reel just to put perch in your freezer...you might live in Buffalo; If you're proud that your region makes the national new 96 nights each year because Lewiston is the coldest spot in the nation....you might live in Buffalo; If your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through March....you might live in Buffalo; If you instinctively walk like a penguin for five months out of the year...you might live in Buffalo; If someone in a store offers you assistance, and they don't work there...you might live in Buffalo--because you're all so darn friendly; If you have ever worn shorts, sunglasses, and a parka at the same time...you might live in Buffalo; If your town has an equal number of bars and churches, or if you are in church and your priest or minister asks you to pray for the Bills, and wants to get you all home for 1:00 PM kickoff...you might live in Buffalo; If you have had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed and got the wrong number...you might live in Buffalo. YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRUE Buffalonian when: 1. "Vacation" means going over to your cabin in Canada for the weekend. 2. You measure distance in hours. 3. You know several people who have hit a deer more than once. 4. You often switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day and back again. 5. You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard, without flinching. 6. You see people wearing camouflage at social events including weddings. 7. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave all the doors unlocked. 8. You carry jumper cables in your car and your wife knows how to use them. 9. You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snow suit. 10.. Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow. 11. You know all 4 seasons: almost fall, winter, still winter and road construction. 12. You can identify a southern or eastern accent. 13. Your idea of creative landscaping is a concrete statue of a deer next to your blue spruce. 14. You were unaware that there is a legal drinking age. 15. Down South to you means ERIE, PA. 16. You find "0" degrees "a little chilly." 17. Your neighbor throws a party to celebrate his NEW FORD F 150 4X4. 18. You go out to fish fry every Friday, Prime Rib on Saturday and bingo every Wednesday. 19. Your 4th of July picnic was moved indoors due to frost. 20. You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.
