You know you're from Kentucky when...

General
A wise man once said that sanity of the mind is one of the many things we must hold onto over time...
Kentuckyisms:
* first off, Louisville is pronounced "Lou-ah-vull". If you're gonna live here you have to get that one down first...and quick. (Not Loui-ville or Louis-ville XP)
* Other pronunciations that have particularly annoyed me are stated as followed: pen is pronounced pin, hour is pronounced hrrrr, older is pronounced odor well, there are more I just can't think of any right now. I'll edit this later, I'm sure. ("Ice" sounds like @$$ with people from Southern Kentucky.)
* Idea always has an "r" on the end.
Around town:
* The only way to get chili is with spaghetti in it.
* Turn signal are useless to Kentuckians.
* There are these multicolored horse statues are all over the place...I still have to figure out what they're for.
* When your car gives you trouble just park on the side of the road...and let me tell ya, I've never seen so many broke down old cars on the side of the highway before!
* Braden works at the Panera Bread in Indiana, which is only about 10-15 minutes from our apartment, but when you tell people that, they really look at you funny, like you're crazy for even crossing the bridge to Indiana. They think people from Indiana are the REAL hicks!
* There's only one kind of tea around here and it's sweet. And everyone drinks tea, I've seen 2 years old's drink it!
* Almost every other commercial on TV or the radio is for lawyers.
* People ignore "no smoking" signs, they think they're just there to make a select few people happy.
* When people ask you where you live, they mean what county are you in.
* We didn't move here until after, but as I hear, the second Saturday in May, you're at the Derby...unless you're crazy.
Sports:
* College sports are HUGE! Mainly football, and basketball and there's only two teams you're allowed to vote for: University of Louisville Cardinals or Kentucky State Wildcats. Red vs. Blue...and everyone and their grandma roots for either one of these teams...if you don't care, that means you're not from around these parts.
* Did I mention college sports are huge? There are no other sports!

That is too fucking true. TRUE.
