I really have to thank whoever makes those signs that go on the side of the road for the inspiration to this topic.

For reference, generally speaking cautionary signs for animals will show a picture of a deer or moose, or say "Deer Crossing" and then have a little extra tag that says some distance.

Today, while driving along an interstate highway, I saw a sign that happened to say
Moose
Stay Alert​
And nothing more. After immediately chuckling to myself, I thought, "Yeah, that's very Vermont."

So, Escapambilidandoes, what are some things that happen to you that you feel are very endemic to your local area?

Oh! This sounds like great fun! I'm in

You know you live in Minnesota when...

Your friend who moved to California is complaining about how cold it is (40 degrees) . I was just walking around in a t-shirt and jeans when we had our really nice warm streak of 40 degrees last week...

You know you live in Dundee when every third teenage girl you see is pregnant, or already has a baby.

40 degrees is like a nice spring breeze to us frozen folk of the North.

Imagine how them Canadians must feel as they scoff at us and go outside in shorts in that kind of weather! :D

As my Title suggests, we also had ourselves a Minnesota swim today! 10 degrees outside and we jumped into a frozen lake because fuck it, that's what we do! Fun was had by all :)

Your move Canada...

You know you're an Illinoisan when it's easier to make a list of politicians who haven't been convicted of corruption than those who have

You know you live in Argentina when you see someone walking up to you, regardless of age, race, gender or social class and you assume they're going to mug you.

You know you live in Northern Michigan when you look outside your window and you still see 5 feet of snow on the ground and don't even bat an eye.

Really. No sane person should be okay with living here, but yet we are.

I miss grass, and I don't think I'll see it till May :(

You know you're from Michigan when you have all four seasons in one day and can drive through snow.

Though I like the cities mottos more:
Flint: Our crack whores can beat your crack whores
and Detroit: Where the weak and killed and eaten.

You know you live in Adelaide when you have absolutely nothing to do on the weekend besides watch the footy. Why is there nothing to do here!

You know you're Australian when you see this above your bed:


Immediately name him Steve or Jensen and talk to it like it's your bro.

You know you live in Missouri when there's a tornado warning going on and all you're thinking is "Damn, this means none of the check-out lanes will be running at WalMart. Better go shopping sometime later..."

Or:

You know you live in Florida when half of your house is wet from rain and the other is perfectly dry.
