    I'm from Oregon. And not from Portland.

    Once when I was donating blood here in Vegas, I had the lady look at my driver's license and say, "Oregon huh? Is it true they have great weed?"

    Um, I wouldn't know?


    We know if you're not from Oregon when you can't pronounce it correctly.


    So true!! And I can almost always spot a non-native on the way they pronounce Eugene (no, I'm not from Eugene).

    I'm from Louisiana. No, I don't know any swamp people. No, I never lived by the swamp. No, I don't have a pet alligator. No, I've never hunted an alligator. :P

    I am from New Orleans and apparantly, everybody thinks we talk weird. We might say some things a little weird or make up our own words for things, but not everybody talks like that! In fact, only a small percentage of the population here does (aka Swamp People). IT IS NOT "Nawlins". It is New Orleans. No, I don't live in a swamp. No, not all of us are fat. Only tourists wear Mardi Gras beads outside of Mardi Gras season. No we don't have a parade for everything. Locals treat Mardi Gras like a family event and it's the stupid tourists that come and ruin it with all the drinking, flashing, and just being plain obnoxious. I do not add tabasco, tony cachere's, or salt to all of my food. I'm tired of hearing about Katrina and the devestation and aftermath. Should I go on? I love my city, but I can't stand all the misconceptions and portrayals out there by the media, movies, and tv shows.

    I actually just had to de-friend a long time friend (high school buddy of my hubby's) the other day because he basically said that because hubby and I live in Chicago we are SUPPORTING gun violence. WTF????? :noway:
    Yay Chicago.
    My favorite..

    Person:I was in Chicago...It really is windy.
    me : well its called the windy city because of the politicians. Its not actually more windy than any other city.
    Person: Really? Because it was really windy
    me: ...pulls out gun

    you have guns? yes
    you have a cowboy hat? yes
    you have cowboy boots? yes
    do you have a truck? yes

    "You're from Minnesota? You don't sound like the movie Fargo!"

    No, no one sounds like that unless they are from the WAY north.

    I get this a lot too. I live in North Dakota.

    :heart: I love this one - I am from Texas - bred, born, raised & still here! I've been asked all of those things too and I do have the belt, buckle & boots, I say y'all but I never owed a ranch or an oil well either. Yes, I am a lady!

    I LOVE frito pie.

    And I love this, because regarding my post:

    Have you ever ridin' a horse to school? Yes.
    Do you own a cowboy hat? Yes.
    Do you have boots? Yes.
    Have you ever been cow tipping? Yes.

    Haha.

    Also, ANYTHING that fizzes is "coke". At least where I come from in Texas!

    In Texas:
    "What drinks do you have?"
    "Coke, tea, water."
    "Great. I'll have a Dr. Pepper."

    In other states:
    "Do you want a coke?"
    "Yes, what kind?"
    "....."
