1. Google "You know you're from (city,state,country) when"
2. Select "I'm feeling lucky"
3. Bold the ones in the list that apply to you. ^^
* You have been to Glenelg and got extremely sunburnt
* You know what fritz is
* You call people Mindas
* You say plaaaant not pleeeent (Sometimes - Damned accent is catchy!)
* You go out to the same place EVERY Saturday night
* You have the same friends from high school
* You can't go out without seeing someone you know
* You like ugg boots, not moccies
* You have a very strong opinion on Lleyton Hewitt
* You know who Stormy Summers is
* You know what Fruchocs are
* You believe that anything that has ever breathed or moved in Adelaide air is 'Adelaide's Own'
* You're well aware that for one month of the year, it is impossible to travel from one side of the city to the other, and during this period you will magically acquire a passion for V8s, a love of the arts, appreciation for world music, expertise in food and wine and become completely immersed in the culture of horse racing.
* You pour Farmer's Union Iced Coffee on your breakfast cereal
* You will never forgive Melbourne for stealing our Grand Prix Never
* You know how 'dance', 'pool', 'castle' and 'graph' are SUPPOSED to be pronounced (ARRRG! Addictive accent!)
* You get offended when people from Western Australia call SA part of the "East Coast"
* You insist on calling AAMI Stadium, "Footy Park"
* You say a Pie Floater tastes great just to maintain your street cred (I actually do like 'em)
* You consider Coopers to be a food group
* You believe that other states' time zones are not good enough for us
* You acknowledge that, while half of our state is uninhabitable, you know that it's still the greatest (Damned straight!)
* You think the 'Tiser has no journalistic integrity whatsoever.... and yet you still read it every day
* You vote for Mike Rann in every State election, mainly because you can't remember the other guy's name (Guilty)
* You buy your CDs from shabby "Big Star" outlets
* You forgave the Chappells for the 1981 Underarm Incident purely out of South Australian patriotism
* You have a unfettered love of either Crows or Port to the complete exclusion of the other (Don't really follow sport, but if push comes to shove, I support the Crows. Wouldn't support the Port no matter what.)
* You know the people out on the Torrens are either tourists or rowers because no one else would go near that water
* You think the Festival Centre is a wonder of modern architecture
* You console yourself that, despite all our faults, at least South Australia wasn't built by convicts
* You can leave work at 5:15 and miss "peak hour traffic"
* You can have a good old laugh at the fact that Adelaide's second name is "City of Churches"
* You're not scared by Aboriginals walking around Adelaide in speedos and gumboots
* You know what a 'stobie pole' is
* You don't know what the meaning of the "Mall's balls" but you make sure you meet people there
* You still claim Anthony LaPaglia as an Adelaidean cos he worked in a shoe shop in Rundle Mall once
* You understand that the Adelaide Cup Holiday HAD to be moved to the Summer months so more people would get drunk and not have to go to work
* And on a final note... don't believe the rumours. I live in South Australia and have never been murdered once.

When you think a poncho is a three-piece-suit.
When you're beer can't even get an infant drunk.
When you think latex-gloves are bulk packets of condoms.
When you claim everything that's passed through the city "Belongs".
When the criminals are afraid of the public.
When the women have more macho then the men.
When you think you can get high by looking at a crack pipe.
You know you're from vic when you think 2+2=222.
When you think a poncho is a toilet.
When you're water has more balls than your bourbon.
When you think when you think condoms are latex gloves without palms.
When you disown everything.
When the police are the criminals.
When the elderly kick more ass then the youths.
When you think you can get high by looking pictures of oregano.
