I grew up in Wisconsin, but have live in AZ for the past 20+ years. One of my friends sent this and I thought that some of you would enjoy it. Take care and God bless.

Don't forget the long, green "Escape to Wisconsin" bumper-stickers.

And ya gotta love the sailing farmers license plates.

I wonder where the pop/soda line really is. I know if you ask someone in western and northern Wisconsin for another name for soft drink, the correct answer will POP into their heads.

Might also fit the UP. One community I've visited in the Upper Peninsula (east of Ashland, WI.,)is home to the Turdy Below Liquor Store...

You know the difference between up by and down by.

You know what a cheesehead does with a sheepshead.

"You Know You're From Wisconsin When. . .

The Amish are part of the 'culture' and not a 'cult'.

A 'viking' is an alien 'purple people eater'.

"You drink soda and refer to your dad as 'pop.'"

BZZT! I drink pop.

Otherwise, list looks accurate.

Hey - I'm from 'Bama and I can actually pronounce Oconomowoc.....I just can't spell Oconomowoc.

Good Ol' Wisconsin ..... .... ..... with their nine months of Winter and 3 months of bad sledding.

Or, as we southeners refer to it....WisKahnsin...

I have a First Cousin that lives up there, somewhere. Last winter her dog started it's "Full Bladder Boogie" and, since she was working in her garage that morning, she opened the garage door to allow him to go and take of of 'business'.

She was unaware that it had snowed the previous night and the snow was packed as high is her garage door was tall..... The dog looked up at her just as she looked down at him - -- - she told him to just go and pee in the cornor....

"You can visit Luxembourg, Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Berlin, New London, and Poland all in one afternoon."

Unfortunately, certain parts of Madison and Milwaukee can now be accurately described as "Chicagotown".

Your whole family wears green and gold to church on Sunday.

And so does the priest.

You forgot a few:

"Hey" is found in barns and at the end of every sentence.

You never "grill" something on your outdoor grill. You always "fry" your food.

Cookouts and barbeques do not exist; you only go to a "fry".

You think wearing a cheese wedge on your head is fashionable.

You believe every Wisconsinite should make a pilgrimage to Lambeau Field at least once in their lifetime.

You curse every time someone mentions the name of Tony Mandarich (sp?).

You know what the Lambeau Leap is, who started it, AND when it was started.

Can I try a few?

You know you're from Wisconsin When...

You know that Kaukauna is not a Hawaiian island.

You understand the saying "When you're out of Point, you're out of town."

You know that Leinenkugels is not a brand of bagel.

You are aware that "Eau Claire" is not a filled and frosted pastry.

You know what kind of fish the ice fishermen are trying to spear on Lake Winnebago.

You recognize a Sheboygan accent.

You can brag about an alpine lake that's only a few hundred feet above sea level.

You can smell the difference between the emissions from a paper factory and the emissions from a cottage cheese factory.

You can't understand why speed-skating isn't on TV more often.

You know that "Fond du Lac" is not a Scandinivian form of dining where meat or cheese on long forks is dipped into various pots.
