i love those! of all the places I've lived, I've found the ones about Oregon to be the most accurate.....some of my favorites:

Your children learned to walk in Birkenstocks.

You complain about Californians as you sell your house to one for twice as much as you originally paid.

You only honk your horn if collision is imminent and never for anything else.

Most of your friends are from California.

You used to live somewhere else but won't admit it publicly.

You know a bride & groom that registered at REI.

You'd be miffed if the store was out of your favorite brand of water.

Know at least eight people who work for Intel or Nike, or used to work for Tektronix.

Know that Boring is a town and not just a state of mind.

Remember the date, severity, time of day, where you were, and how long you were out of power and phone service for every winter weather event in the last five years. [when they get an inch of snow, the newscast leads off with "WINTER BLAST 2005!!!!!!!!" with ominous music and graphics]

You own more than 10 articles of clothing that have the names of microbreweries/brewpubs printed on them.

You think downtown is "scary" because you were panhandled there, once.

You believe anyone who uses umbrellas is from California.
