You know you're from Colorado when....


*You go to a wedding and the dress code is formal, except with hiking boots.

* We gloat over the fact that we don't have hurricanes or earthquakes but you go out for a pizza and come back and find your car with $5000 of hail damage.

* The landscape is beautiful, the weather is fantastic, but one of the native species will eat you while you're training for a half-marathon. Bummer.

* When you talk to people from other states who say they have mountains in their state too, and you just laugh.

* You have no true accent.

* You know that warm and sunny can change to dark and raining in 5 minutes.

* You laugh when people think ocean water is cold (Hey, its not freshly melted snow- man up!)

* When the green signs on the highway showing what town your in has a number for elevation instead of the population

* You actually know that South Park is a real place not just a show on TV.

* Everyone has a mutual hate of Texans and most other tourists, but we'll gladly take their money if they're gonna spend 9 bucks on a hot dog at Vail

* You understand the phrase "People's Republic of Boulder"

* People stopped on the side of the road in the mountains taking pictures with their Point & Shoots are from the Midwest.

* When you visit friends at sea level, you can drink a case of beer and not get a buzz.

* "Nebraska" or "Huskers" are bad words.

* You have been to Beaver Liquors just to say you have been.

* You're a meat-eating vegetarian.

*You can never figure out why your out-of-town guests faint from altitude sickness.
