ah what the hell:

[quote:0ea4d]YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM PENNSYLVANIA WHEN...
* You have an uncontrollable urge to buy bread and milk when you hear the word "snow."
* You say the correct pronunciation LANG-kist-er instead of the mispronounced Lan-CAST-er, and LEB-en-in instead of the equally incorrect Leb-a-NON.
* You know the only way to make good fastnachts is to cook them in LARD.
* You live within two miles of a plant that makes potato chips, corn chips,pretzels, candy, or ice cream, or that packages turkeys, beans, or bologna.
* You can stop along the road to buy fruits, vegetables, or crafts on the "honor system."
* You know what REAL pot pie is.
* YOUR turkey has "filling," not "stuffing," and most certainly, NOT "dressing."
* You know that chicken corn soup from a fire house is the most nearly perfect food on earth.
* You say things like, "Outen the lights," "I'm calling off today," and "They're calling for snow."
* You've heard of distelfinks and hex signs.
* You only buy your beer and soda by the case.
* You think the roads in any other state are smooth.
* You know the Penn State cheer, and although you've never attended PennState, you are a most obnoxious Penn State fan. (WE ARE...ANNOYING!)
* Hearing horses clopping down a paved street doesn't bring you to the window to see what's going on outside.
* You never see any Confederate Flags, except on the Gettysburg Battlefield.
* You prefer Hershey's Chocolate to Godiva.
* You consider Pittsburgh to be "out west," and you know the fastest way to Philly is the Turnpike.
* School closings due to snow take the radio stations a half an hour to finish, because just about every town has its own school district.
* When someone says 1972, you think "Agnes," and when someone says 1979, you think "TMI."
* You call sloppy joes "barbecue."
* When it snows, they put cinders on the roads instead of sand.
* You can give directions to Intercourse with a straight face.
* Know that Yuengling is pronounced "Ying-ling," and believe that it really is a premium beer (which comes from growing up on Schlitz and Iron City).

* Live for summer, when street fairs signal the beginning of funnel cake season.

* Frequently go "with," e.g., "You going to the market? Mind if I come with?"
