christoofar 0 #1 April 4, 2005 You know you're from San Antonio when... 1. You think that pro-choice means flour or corn tortillas. 2. You think a health drink is a margarita without salt. 3. You think a three-piece-suit is T-shirt, jeans and a baseball cap. 4. Your car payment is more than your house payment. 5. You're an expert with the brake pedal, but have no idea what a blinker is. 6. You remember when Crossroads Mall was called "Wonderland". 7. There hasn't been a road crew on your street since before they started the Alamodome. 8. You think being able to order from the Taco Cabana menu makes you bilingual. 9. A formal occasion is getting a glass with your longneck. 10. You know that a real San Antonian would never say "San Antone". 11. You think three days of temperatures below 50 degrees is a "cold spell". 12. You know the change in seasons by the kind of cowboy hat everybody is wearing. (after Labor Day) 13. Your belt buckle costs more than your boots. 14. You miss the old trollys downtown, although they broke down all the time. (dating yourself on that one) 15. It's JOSKEY'S. Not Dillard's. Get it straight. 16. You, your friends, and everybody who lives with you in San Antonio still manages to get lost in Downtown, no matter how many years you've lived there. 17. Anything north of Austin is "Yankeeland" Anything east of College Station is the "Deep South" and/or you consider most of that area belongs to Louisiana anyway. 18. The English speakers typically talk slowly. The Spanish speakers typically talk extremely fast. 19. The Spanish-speaking drivers typically drive extremely slowly. Likewise, the English-speaking drivers typically drive as fast as their vehicle can possibly go. ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

Rebecca 0 #5 April 4, 2005 Hahaha!! I used to say that I never got into and out of downtown the same way twice! Yep - if you move to Texas, you have to change your DL and plates and have your turn indicators disabled within 6 months. Using your blinker is a sure sign that you 'ain't from 'round here'. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

christoofar 0 #15 April 4, 2005 - The best freeways and more miles of expressway per capita than any city in the U.S., and yet two very major interchanges do not exist (U.S. 281 @ I-410... and U.S. 281 @ Loop 1640), you must exit the freeway and go to local roads and stop lights to switch freeways. - You only know your way around 2 or 3 sides of town. The rest is alien to you (i.e. South, West & North, but not East... or East, South and North, but not West). - You know better than to go eat Mexican food on Sunday morning, unless you are VERY hungry and willing to accept less-than decent alternatives. - You know better than to eat Mexican entrees on the Northside... just appetizers. - Your favorite Mexican food establishment has appeared on KSAT-12's "Behind the Kitchen Door" series for numerous health-code violations. - Your CPS bill (lights) runs about 1/2 of your rent / mortgage in the summer, even if you cut the power to your house and go on a month long vacation. - You aren't allowed to run your spinklers in your yard most of the week during the summer, but you constantly see ads for Splashtown, Schlitterbahn, Sea World and there's always a line to get to all the car washes on sunny days. - Jogging is something you do at a gym in the strip mall. Parks are for tailgating parties. - You know someone with an obscure Hispanic name, e.g. Maclovio. - You have actually waited in a line during the Holidays to get Christmas tamales, because a) you didn't order them early enough and/or b) you don't know how to make them and every one that does know how is already backed up with orders - Only in San Antonio can it take you 4 hours to get to Houston by air, yet only a few minutes more than that had you just got in the car and drove there. ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES!

Try 2.5 hours from my parents up on 1604 & Bitters to my place in the Houston Heights (on a normal non-holiday with medium traffic and 2-3 speed traps). 4+ on the day before Thanksgiving. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?
