Note to self: When working with motor oil and cooking a delicious treat, always wash hands in between.

You know you live in Nittedal (Norway) if

1. You see all those cars, and know how long they've been around, and maybe who owns them
2. The coolest hang-out place for teens is the local groceries store
3. There's 3 km and 7 speedbumps between the bus stop and your house
4. There's a 5°C drop from your house to the bus stop (it's however snowing at your place, and raining at the bus stop)
5. You hear a scooter (or whatever) every 5th minute between 15.00 and 20.00

The streets are packed with Peugeot 206s and 306s and vauxhall novas, all heavily modified with fiberglass bodywork, dodgy blue or green paint jobs and neon lights on the undercarrige.

Being called "Bud" usually means you're about to be mugged or attacked.
"Story" or "Alriigh" are considered a general greeting.

Did you imagine the final sound as a gun? Or the shattered windows of a car? Did you ever imagine the last thing you'd hear as you're fading out was a song?

You know you're in California when...

- The neighbors have 3 SUVs, though one is legally deaf and the other legally blind.

- Sexuality is neither a preference nor an orientation, but a frame of mind.

- Adolescents rebel against parental authority by joining their school’s Republican
Youth club and leaving conspicuously placed copies of the Wall Street Journal
around.
"Christine, sleep with me...that's all I ask of you."

- That's All I ask of you

You know you're in Chicago when:

1) Its 25F outside and people have their car windows rolled down (cause we like it that way)

2) At the first sign of snowfall, a mad rush is made for people to put lawnchairs out in front of thier houses to protect their parking spaces

3) There's an entire generation that cannot remember having a mayor other than good ol' Rich Daley.

I was just in Kentucky this last weekend. Not too far down though, just outside of the Ohio border near Cincinatti. Beautiful area, and everything seemed to be much less expensive than up here in western PA.

If you're talking about towards lexington, you should really come to Pikeville...Well around Pikeville.

It's really nice around through here, though I tend to get sick of all the trees. But everyone around here says they can't afford to go shopping around Lexington. It's like I'm living in the 1950's here. :P

You havn't seen small town until you've litterally missed a town by blinking as you went past.
You are speaking of "Moscow, Michigan". It has a single garage fire statioin, a crumbling post-office, and a bar.

And that's IT.

Ok, so I'm new. but i know of this moscow you speak of. And it is GIANT compared with a certain pulaski, michigan. Which has the coolest f-ing malll

And by mall, i mean general store with a sign that reads "Pulaski Mall"
I want one

I would say welcome to you, but I'm afraid all Michigan State fans must first suffer trial by fire.

I could let you beat me senseless for about 50 minutes of a 60 minute fight, and then come back and make a fool of you in the last few seconds?

Aw, that was cold.

We've uhm, got basketball? Aw who am I kidding, I'm the only MSU fan within like 50 miles of my house. And its depressing. All the licensed state stuff at Wal-mart gets clearanced, but noooo, that blue crap stays,

ugh

Anyway, on to contributing

You know you're in michigan when
1. You wake up in the morning and can't feel your toes, but by the time noon rolls around, you wished you put shorts on that morning.
2. There are more mullets around you than not
3. You stopped playing the mullet-punch game because everyone involved was black and blue.
4. The only real reason the community gets together is for the county fair. Ah-hyuck
