You know your from Louisville if...

[Tim_T]

You KNOW you're from 'Louisville' when:

You're still upset that Dillards took over Bacon's

You still refer to the Bashford Manor Mall and it has been gone for 7 Years.

Your 'International' airport has only one passenger flight that actually
leaves the 48 contiguous U.S. States and is also the size of an average
mall

The in-state sports rivalry is paid more attention to than the national
championship.

You live in an area that occasionally gets considerable snowfalls, floods,
and tornadoes... But has no capacity to deal with any of the above.

You pronounce the name of your city different than anyone else you've heard.

You think the rest of the people in Kentucky sound like hicks.

When you think of Kentucky, you don't automatically think horse racing
or fried chicken.

You ask your doctor for an allergy cure and he tells you to 'move'


You've shoveled 10 plus inches of snow and worn shorts in the same week.

When people ask what school you went to, they don't mean Vanderbilt, Yale,
or Harvard; they mean Ballard, Male, Manual, Trinity or St. X.

You know what the Bambi Walk is.

Your last ten vacations were in Panama City or Destin.

You make an emergency run to Kroger for bread and milk at the first
sighting of a snowflake.

You've lived here for years, yet somehow you get hopelessly lost each time
you attempt a shortcut through Cherokee Park..

You're convinced turn signals are useless options on a vehicle.

You hold up traffic to let a motorist you don't know into your lane.

You give directions based on landmarks that no longer exist or street
names that have changed, but your directions never confuse any of the
other Louisvillians

You have never been to the Derby , but wouldn't miss the Oaks.

You call in sick to attend the Oaks and spot your boss - who also called
in sick - at the next betting window.

You think all the REAL hicks live in New Albany IN.

You think the only thing Southern Indiana is good for is buying pumpkins.

When introduced to another life-long Louisvillian, you spend the first
part of the conversation finding out how you are connected. It's never as
many as six degrees of separation - usually three will do it.

You think a pervert is someone who would rather have sex than watch
basketball.

You've built a shrine to Rick Pitino in your basement.

You can read about Rick Pitino in at least three different sections of
your newspaper.

You think the rest of the world knows what Benedictine spread is.

You think the rest of the world knows what a Hot Brown is.

You have never eaten fish that wasn't fried.

You think the whole world puts spaghetti in chili.

You want another bridge built over the Ohio River, just so long as it
doesn't cut through YOUR neighborhood.

You've experienced a 'salt storm' after a two-inch snowfall.

I laughed so hard at that one I didn't have anything left for the rest of them.

Right on both counts - You all need to stop moving over here!

Funny stuff! ;>

Good stuff Tim, lol.

"You think a pervert is someone who would rather have sex than watch

That one is my personal favorite.

[RoadToad]

That's hilarious. Here's one more: "Your kids have a day off from school every year because of a horse race."

I remember after they chose that name, the guys on WQMF began calling it Louisville Intergalactic Airport, saying, heck if we're going to lie, we might as well lie well...

Excellent. My sister-in-law now lives in Colorado and she has tried to buy Benedictine and no one has ever heard of it. Funny how that works.

"You think a pervert is someone who would rather have sex than watch

I had a bumper sticker on my truck that said that when I lived in Colorado. The people I worked with loved it and many people driving behind me on the road did too. I had a couple of people follow me and when I stopped, they would start a conversation at a red light or in a parking lot. Lots of good memories.

You refer to a certain building on shelbyville rd as...

"The Old Sears"

No wonder my friend calls his wife "Mom".
