    You know you're a Coloradan when...

    ...You use both the Heater and the A/C in the Same day

    ...You know what the "People's Republic of Boulder" means

    ...Your sense of direction is: away from the mountains and towards the mountains.

    ...You're a meat-eating vegetarian

    ...The bike on your car is worth more than the car itself.

    ...You use a down confroter in the summer because you have the A/C on at 55 degrees.

    ...You're able to drive 65 miles per hour through 13 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without even flinching.

    ...You take your out of town guests to Casa Bonita even though you would never go there otherwise.

    ...You install security lights on your house and garage but leave all doors unlocked.

    ...You think the major food groups are granola bars, tofu, and Coors Beer.

    ...You carry jumper cables in the car and your girlfriend knows how to use them.

    ...You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.

    ...Driving is better in the winter because the pot holes are filled with snow.

    ...You think that sexy lingerie is tube socks and flannel pj's.

    ...You know all four seasons: "almost winter, winter, still winter, and construction."

    ...You've been tear gassed in a riot to celebrate a team's win.

    ...You think the State Govenor is John Elway.

    ...Your idea of a traffic jam is more than 10 pedestrians on the bike path.

    ...You carry skis in your car, "just in case."

    ...You can never figure out why your out of town guests faint form altitude sickness on a picnic to Mt. Evans.



    Just thought some people would like to hear these and laugh... :D

    -When you answer the phone from your out of state relatives, "No it's not snowing in Denver. . . I don't care what the weather man in Florida says, we didn't get 26 inches of snow yesterday!"

    EDIT: I'll have more tomorrow, I have a whole pile of them on a disk at work

    The altitude one I've had happen to me before. We had some hardcore skiiers come over from Missouri and they took me and my siblings out on the slopes. I didn't have a good time. So I went and sat in the ski lodge. However the head honcho of our little group was very worried about me and kept asking if I was alright, and if the altitude was bothering me. I said he was crazy, it's not the altitude, my butt is wet from the snow, I cut myself on my snow board and my feet hurt [face_plain] So he left me alone.

    As we were driving back to the springs he started to complain about a headache, so I asked him if the altitude was bothering him. He gave me a LOOK. But he said I should probably drive back for him. So we switched and after about two minutes he asked me to pull over, he stumbled out of the car and promptly got very sick. That was a loooong drive. :p Everyone eventually fell asleep and I had to listen to blink 81 over and over and over again, because I didn't know how to work the cd player :_|

    You're able to drive 65 miles per hour through 13 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without even flinching.

    But you are unable to drive faster than 40 miles per hour through a light drizzling rain on a sunny day.

    (note: if you haven't heard me rant and rave about retarded colorado drivers regarding this, I'm sure you will at some point!! I know Jen has, lol!)

    When giving directions, you never say "Turn left, turn right", it's always go West, then South.
