You know your from Texas when....

[Saphire]

You're from Texas if...........

You can properly pronounce Corsicana, Palestine, Decatur, Nacogdoches, Wichita Falls, San Antonio, MEXIA, Waco, and Amarillo.

You think that people who complain about the wind in their states are sissies.

A tornado-warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.

You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.

You know that the true value of a parking space is not determined by the distance to the door, but by the availability of shade.

Stores don't have bags, they have sacks.

You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.

Little Smokies are something you serve only for special occasions.

You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean.

You know cow pies are not made of beef.

Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan his or her wedding date.

You have known someone who has had ! one belt buckle bigger than your fist.

You aren't surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, and bait all in the same store.

A Mercedes Benz is not a status symbol. A Ford F350 4x4 is.

You know everything goes better with Ranch Dressing.

You actually get these jokes and are "fixin' " to tell your friends.

Finally, you are 100% Texan if you have ever heard this conversation:

"You wanna coke?"
"Yeah."
What kind?"
"Dr Pepper."

1. That could be Mississippi too! LOL!

2. You left out

Waxahachie, Paducah, and Quitaque. Plus, you think a table setting consists of a knife, two forks, two spoons, and a tortilla.

5. Mmmmm...

3. How funny!!!

[XNASA]

4. You forgot 'Humble'.

6. That last one is hilarious

Yep, everything is "coke." :D

[Shakespeare]

7. About that wind thing.....

When I moved to Los Angeles, I initially thought all the hoo-ha about Santa Ana winds was hilarious, 'cause I'm from tornado country.

Then one morning I flipped on the local news and saw big 18-wheelers and other humongous vehicles tossed around like toys along the Grapevine (by said Santa Ana winds), and no longer thought they were sissies.

8. You write "your" when you mean "you're"?

:shrug:

;) (I understand you completely. More important than grammar are understanding and being understood.)

10. I was going to say that!

(and yes, I do annoy everyone...)

[djeseru]

9. My favorite...

...is listening to the reporters from other parts of the nation come here to Texas and mis-pronounce every town they've been through...

And my favorite cokes are Dr. Peppers. =)

11. Good ones!:-)

The only one I didn't think fitting was bags vs sacks. Maybe that's a real country one that this city Texan doesn't get.
