You're from Colorado If..

  • You'll eat ice cream in the winter.
  • When the weather report says it's going to be 65 degrees, you shave your legs and wear a skirt.
  • It snows 5 inches and you don't expect school to be canceled.
  • You'll wear flip flops every day of the year, regardless of temperature.
  • You have no accent at all, but can hear other people's. And then you make fun of them.
  • 'Humid' is over 25%.
  • Your sense of direction is: Toward the mountains and Away from the mountains.
  • You say 'the interstate' and everybody knows which one.
  • You think that May is a totally normal month for a blizzard .
  • You know what the Continental Divide is.
  • You don't think Coors beer is that big a deal.
  • You went to Casa Bonita as a kid, and as an adult.
  • You've gone off-roading in a vehicle that was never intended for such activities.
  • You always know the elevation of where you are.
  • You wake up to a beautiful, 80 degree day and you wonder if it's going to snow.
  • You actually know that ** South Park ** is a real place not just a show on TV.
  • You know what a 'trust fund hippy' is, and you know its natural habitat is Boulder .
  • You know you're talking to a fellow Coloradoan when they call it Elitches, not Six Flags.
  • A bear on your front porch doesn't bother you.
  • You go anywhere else on the planet and the air feels 'sticky' and you notice the sky is no longer blue
  • And. . When people out East tell you they have mountains in their state too, you just laugh.
