You know you're from New Mexico if:

You can correctly pronounce Tesuque, Cerrillos, and Pojoaque.

Your next door neighbor has a sweat lodge in her back yard.

You have been told by at least one out-of-state vendor that they are going to charge you extra for "international" shipping.

You expect to pay more if your house is made of mud.

You can order your Big Mac with green chile.

You buy salsa by the half-gallon.

You are still using the paper license tag that came with your car five years ago.

Your Christmas decorations include "a yard of sand and 200 paper bags."

Most restaurants you go to begin with "El" or "Los."

You hated Texans until the Californians moved in.

The tires on your roof have more tread than the ones on your car.

You price shop for tortillas.

You have an extra freezer just for green Chile.

You think a red light is merely a suggestion.

You believe that using a turn signal is a sign of weakness.

You think six tons of crushed rock makes a beautiful front lawn.

You ran for state legislature so you can speed legally.

You pass on the right because that's the fast-lane.

You have read a book while driving from Albuquerque to Santa Fe.

You know they don't skate at the Ice House and the Newsstand doesn't sell newspapers.

You think Sadies was better when it was in the bowling alley.

There is a piece of a UFO displayed in your home.

You just got your fifth DWI and got elected to the state legislature in the same week.

Your swamp cooler got knocked off your roof by a dust devil.

You have been on TV more than three times telling about your alien abduction.

You can actually hear the Taos hum.

All your out-of-state friends and relatives visit in October.

You think Las Vegas is a town in the northeastern part of the state.

You iron your jeans to "dress up".

You don't see anything wrong with drive-up window liquor sales.

Your other vehicle is also a pick-up truck.

Two of your cousins are in Santa Fe, one in the legislature the other in the state pen.

You have driven to an Indian Casino at 3am because you were hungry.

You think the Lobos fight song is "Louie, Louie."

You know whether you want "red or green."

You're relieved when the pavement ends because the dirt road has fewer pot-holes.

You made a shirt that says "I was born here all my life"

You have a bumper sticker that states; "My other car is in the arroyo

You go outside when it rains
 
Haha, Ed. For the most part, its true. A few things have changed. Drive up liquor is no longer legal.'

Tesuque - tes u key
Cerillos - Suh ree ohs
Pojoaque - Poh wok kay

I've definitely defended New Mexico's status as a state many times, usually by saying "Of couse I speak English well, New Mexico is IN AMERICA!"

However - the Lobos fight song is Hail, New Mexico, and any good New Mexican knows that (even those from Las Cruces!)

You can't just iron jeans to dress up - you also need a bolo tie.

The IceHouse is closed down now, after a rash of drug and prostitution busts.

I have no DWI, but I've met people on ther 20th and counting.

I'm putting too much thought into this. Pretty funny, Ed.
 
And the #1 sign you are from NM:

You have 3 children by as many fathers by age 20.

Right, Nick?

No, No, No, you think you have 3 children by as many fathers but you don't know for sure because you slept with Child #1's father around the time Child # 3 was concived but it's doesn't look like him so you don't know for sure. :rolleyes:
 
Haha, Missa. I don't know the details, only that there are no single women my age without kids.

Its a fact.

No, that's Detroit.

You don't for sure until you go on "Maury" and get a DNA test (You are ............NOT the Father") followed by screaming and hitting the SOs with chairs (or are the chairs only on "Jerry Springer"?)


If you want to torture me make we watch those shows.

I don't Mike sounds like you are already torturing yourself. :D
When I'm working at home I turn on the kitchen TV during lunch and channel surf to find something to land on. The local network O&Os have soaps. PBS has kids shows or something like Sewing with Nancy or The Magic of Oil Painting (That is actually OK) And on on the indies it's Jerry, Maury, Montel, and Judge xxx, Judge xxx, Judge xxx, and nnn's Court.

It's not enough to set the shows to 3 thumbs down on the TiVo. I actually want a pain setting on the TiVo so if Jerry or Maury came on it would sting them. I wish they had a way to change favorite channels based on what's on so I don't even see those. Hey! Whatta idea! Gotta email TiVo.

Almost everything here comes either with chile on it, or on the side. Red or Green means which kind of chile you want.

It also happens to be New Mexico's state question.

Californians call it "sauce" I think. Californians are weird.

edit: and it never occurred to me that the 99 cent green chile double cheeseburger from McDonalds wasn't available everywhere. Wow. Y'all are missing out.

You must be doing better, you've been pretty funny.

BTW: I aint coming to ABQ just for McDonalds. I don't care what kind of sauce they put on it.
 
re: pronounciations;
Does that mean you pronounce that wiggly dessert stuff that Bill Cosby pitches "Hey Yo"? (Jello)

:)

Yob? Eh manno, pass the "sauce".
 
BTW guys the Hatch chiles from NM are pretty good this year. I was at Chuy's last night for dinner and had the chicka chicka boom boom. That is chicken enchiladas with Hatch chile sauce. This years crop very tasty with a nice of spice without eing over powering. Too bad the floods probably have killed off the supply for the rest of the year.
 
As someone who is actually "born here all my life" (Las Cruces) I must say these are hilarious, and many have more than a grain of truth to them. That reminds me, I better check the swamp cooler when I get home after all that wind we had here 2 days ago. ;)
