Top Ten Signs You are in Wisconsin...

[jaybird2001wi]

I am going to rattle off a "Top Ten" David Letterman-esque list as to know you are in Wisconsin....without further ado:

 

10. Our idea of a hot girl is someone who either a) parties hard at college-type bars or b) from a small Wisconsin town who is deemed skinny.

9. At morning coffee shop establishments, you see people in winter coats in the beginning of October.

8. If a team from Chicago is beating your Wisconsin team, your only insult back to them is, "Enjoy paying your tolls!"

7. Brewers talk is non-existent after October 1st.

6. You hear Brett Favre talk retirement for the 20th straight year.

5. People's idea of being an Ambassador to Yi Jianlian is to give him a free tour of the Miller Brewing Company.

4. People's idea of being friendly to Yi Jianlian is to offer him a shovel in January so he can get to the stadium.

3. We get constantly annoyed by the California campaign of "Happy Cows come from California."

2. You know you will be able to tailgate 365 days a year.

1. People know Brett Favre more than any elected official.

Ehh, I think you lost some steam as you went on. I think 10-6 are much better than 5-1, although that's usually how it is for Dave's Top 10.

Cow tipping is the most fun thing to do on a Friday night.

[uecker9]

Every other house has a green and yellow propane tank in the backyard.

[mothershipconnection]

You include your biggest buck, bass, or walleye on your resume.

[wisconsinfan47]

You decided to throw a picnic because summer fell on a weekend.

[NeedMoreFans]

You've turned on both the A/C and the furnace in the same day.

[GAME05]

if it's not in a casing, you won't eat it.

 

you kinda like polka.

 

likely you learned the German words to Silent Night before the English ones.

 

you had no idea until you read this that "dethaw" makes no sense.

[mrbergmann]

You've turned on both the A/C and the furnace in the same day.

I have had my AC and furnace both on this week!! (That's pretty close....)

 

[davego]

You eat sauerkraut wrapped in lefse.

[GAME05]

You've attended at least one church service wearing blaze orange or Packer apparrel.

 

the hot-dog-eating record? you've probably broken it several times but never thought to count.

[Invader3K]

Something should be on there about "Your Super Bowl party finishes, and you immediately start counting down the days until Packers training camp," or maybe "You go to church on Sunday morning, and pastor asks for a blessed Packers victory."

[craigharmann]

You will drive around 10 miles out of your way to save 10 cents on something....at least in Sheboygan.

[DatHoser]

Your snow shovel is never put away.

 

You can name the third-string tight end of the Packers, but not your local state senator.

 

Your vacation home is an ice shanty. Or a deer stand.

 

You think IHOP is an upscale restaurant.

 

You have three old lawnmowers in the shed that you hope to fix someday.

 

You can tell the difference between a good beer and a bad beer just by sniffing, but couldn't tell the difference between Mogen David and a $200 bottle of wine.
