You Know You're From Maryland When... |
• You know more than 10 people who own boats and they all park them at the same marina in Annapolis • You can pronounce and spell "Pocomoke," "Mattaponi," "Accokeek," and "Havre de Grace" [and Chincoteaque and Monocacy too!] • You prononce "Bowie" BOO-ie not BOW-ie or BAUW-ie • 1 hour is an easy commute to work • You have more than three recipies for crabcakes • French fries just don't taste right without Old Bay [or an ocean view] • There are more than two crab places in your town • Even your high school cafeteria made good crabcakes • You got your first lacrosse stick before you were six years old • You call all turtles "terrapins" • You refer to your state as "Merlind" • Your mother shops at Hecht's • You still call Six Flags America "Adventure World", or even "Wild World" • You still remember the Wild World commercial (Wild World's the cure for the summertime blues!) • You can tell the difference between the smells of septic and marsh. • You not only know how to eat hard crabs but you also know how to catch them, cook them and tell the males from the females. • You don't think that Assawoman Bay is a strange name for a body of water. • You know perfectly well why Rehoboth is called "Little San Francisco" • M R Ducks makes perfect sense. • So does C M Wangs. • You think Salisbury is a big city. • You think of dumplings as wet slippery squares of boiled dough. • You think of "Dairy Queen" as a pageant title and not a place to get an ice cream. • You still root for the Orioles even when they suck • You'll never understand why tourists come to DC. • When in Florida, you can only laugh when you see signs saying "Real Maryland Blue Crab Cakes!" • Your whole family lives within a 200 mile radius of your town. • You plan for "The Festival" a year in advance. • During the summer, you spend more time in Ocean City than at home. • Margret Heater, Hedspace, Jepetto, Outside Joke and Mary Prankster are people you think are "Famous" • Your radio dial is stuck on 99.1 [alas,not anymore] You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Maryland. |

My radio dial is still stuck on 99.1! El Zol isn't so bad when you're just looking for happy sounds.
