Sorry its long

 

--- The fact that the Dublin Irish Festival is in the fall and German Village Oktoberfest is in September seems perfectly normal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--- You measure distance in time, not miles.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--- You remember very vividly City Center & Northland.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--- You know how to pronounce "Scioto" and "Olentangy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--- You see nothing unusual about a street being called East North Broadway.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--- You know every mini-city in Columbus, and what kinds of people live there.

 

 

 

 

 

Example:

 

- Short North = Gay/Lesbian

- Victorian Village/German Village = Older People or Old Money

- Dublin = People with so much money, they don't know what to do with it

- Hilltop = Ghetto

- New Albany = Yuppies

- Hilliard = A lot of hot people, but a lot of snobby ones too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--- If you live in the suburbs, your backyard was actually a cornfield last year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--- That complex on the corner, with the CVS, Frisch's, Blockbuster's and Kroger, that was a cornfield last year, too!

 

 

--- Your Halloween costume was specially made to fit over a snow suit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--- You either went to Chrome, Long Street or Fat Jacks for teen night, and thought you were BALLIN!

 

 

 

--- You went to skate parties @ WOW!

 

 

 

 

--- You know that the Arena District is nice, Campus is NOT, Brewery is Okay, and short north is *~*FABBBBOULOUS!*~*

 

 

 

 

--- Your life goal is to move from Ohio... but never want to leave Columbus

 

 

 

--- You throw your cans in your front yard, and in the morning they are gone.

 

 

 

 

(Thank you homeless man!)

 

 

 

--- It's POP. Soda is for weirdo’s.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--- You have been to a Clippers game because of dime a dog night.. then you hurled everywhere.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--- You know/met a dog named Buckeye, Brutus or Scarlet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--- You know Wyandot Lake is NOT a body of water, and Mad River Mountain is not really a mountain.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--- You have ridden the bike at the old COSI, or lifted the car!

 

 

--- You say Kroger’s. It's really Kroger.

 

 

 

 

 

 

--- You think the Lane Ave bridge is HUGE!

 

 

 

--- You drive down south (toward cinci) and start to see hills and literally stare and think it¢s a mountain.. because you¢re used to EVERYTHING being FLAT!!!

 

 

 

--- One out of every 10 cars has something BUCKEYE on it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--- You actually say PROLLY, in real speaking, and know exactly what it means.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--- You've gave money to Rapping' Rodney, the homeless rapping bum on High St.

 

 

 

 

( the high street bum!!!!!!!!!)

 

 

 

--- You do not use THE before a highway number.

 

 

 

 

Example:

 

You say 71, not The 71.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--- You know what the OUTERBELT means.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--- There is nothing unusual about a bar called The Ugly Tuna Saloona.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--- You know businesses close on Ohio State Football game day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--- St Patrick’s Day & Halloween are your favorite holidays.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--- You've seen stripper poles, stages and kegerators in houses on campus.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--- You know what Party Plates are.

 

 

 

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

 

 

 

--- You see nothing funny/unusual about:

 

Front St.

 

 

 

 

Long St.

 

 

 

 

Hard Rd

High St.

 

 

 

 

Broad St.

 

 

 

 

Gay St.

 

 

 

 

Godown Rd

 

 

 

--- If you think every city in Ohio is "Just, 2 hours away" because we’re smack dab in the middle of Ohio

 

 

 

--- You go out of state and people say "You're from Ohio? So you live on a farm?" and you look confused and say "FARM? I've never even seen a cow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--- You've played on Tuttle Crossing Mall's "BREAKFAST" when you were a child.

 

 

 

 

 

 

--- Girls can flirt their way out of any ticket with the CPD.

 

 

 

 

MUAHAHHAHAHA

 

 

 

--- When you drive down 670 with your windows open to smell the fresh bread from the Wonder bread Factory <-- (I totally do that hahahaha)

 

 

 

--- You think that there is nothing strange about the city of Westerville being Northeast of Columbus

 

 

--You know what to say when someone yells out O-H- even when your not in Ohio! ............Sorry had to add that one!

I must be getting old, cuz WOW! was united skates when I went there, and I remember when Northland, Eastland, and Westland were the only malls we had. 670 wasn't there either. Damn! :nono:

It was Laces (in whitehall) for me......

 

 

How about you can yell OH in a crowded place and not only do you not get strange looks people yell IO back.
