[QUOTE=Spoons]  
Toronto may not be a province, but it certainly is its own little world. Some Torontonians tend to forget that you actually can travel north of Steeles, east of the Rouge (hell, east of the DVP/404 to the hardcore Torontonian), and west of the 427 (except for Pearson Airport) without falling off the edge of the world.

Well, my original home (SoCal) has already been done, so I’ll offer a few for my new home - Florida.

- you were actually born somewhere else and you make a point of saying so.
- you don’t know anyone else who was born here either (or at least will admit it)
- you’ve sunbathed on Christmas Eve
- you wear a long coat and gloves if it drops below 60 degrees
- you’ve been to a hurricane party
- you’ve killed a roach that is larger than your cat
- you know how to do the “stingray shuffle”
- you’ve left your chad hanging ( **I** didn’t; just sayin’)
- your state is mostly likely to be \*the \* national laughing stock at any given time

In Indiana, all but three houses on your block have basketball goals out front, and you don’t know what’s wrong with those other three families.

Is it flat in Lubbock, Texas? You can stand in the middle of town and see five miles in any direction. If you stand on a tuna can, you can eight miles.
