I got this in an e-mail from a friends.
You know you're from Salina if...
-You know that when someone says he/she lives on the "hill", that means they have lots of money.
-You've heard the old indian legend that Salina will never be hit by a toronado because of the rivers.
-You've seen Salina get hit by a toronado and still believe the legend.
-You've ever eaten at Bogey's.
-Scheme pizza is the best pizza in America and no one can tell you any different.
-It's no big deal to awaken to a snowfall and later in the day be wearing shorts.
-You believe that the road construction on I-70 will go on for eternity.
-It's impossible to walk through Wal-mart and not run into at least two people you know.
-You avoid Wal-mart because you aren't in the mood to talk.
-You can hardly believe that Kohl's is actually coming to Salina, "IT'S NOT JUST A RUMOR!"
-Someone told you a Coldstone/Olive Garden/ or Starbucks is coming to Salina, and it turns out it's not true.
-You know it's not true, but you refuse to give up hope!
-You refer to hailstorms as "last years" or "this years"
-You've ever had hail damage to your house/car repaired twice in one year.
-You've considered climbing up and sitting on top of that big white dome church on North 9th street
-You've ever cruise Sante Fe
-You've ever wondered why everyone cruises Sante Fe.
-You subcribe to the Salina Journal just so you can read the 333 line comments
-You've called in to the 333 line.
-You've ever considered jumping into the Oakdale Park "pond" during River Festival to attack the paper machette dragon sculpture.
-You even know what we're talking about when we mention the River Festival dragon sculpture.
-You plan your entire summer and possibly take vacation time in order to make sure you don't miss the River Festival.
-You know it's wrong to share River Festival buttons, but is just to damn easy!
-You routinely visit the "Salina's Most Wanted" web page just to see if there is anyone you know posted.
-You know who Charlie Walker is.
-You find it funny that people from surrounding small towns come to Salina for supplies, because it's the "big city"!
-You've ever gotten into a fist fight over the possibility of a new expo center to replace the bi-center.
-You know what a "Cozy Burger" is and swear they are the best burgers in the WORLD!
-It annoys you that we have to add "Salina" to the end of "K-State" . . . people should know that pilots don't exist in Manhattan!
-You spent a considerable amount of time contemplating your tax money going to twisty big blue pipes, squiggly vaguely human looking people sculptures, and slanting light posts on a bridge to nowhere, because the powers that be say it's art and we should appreciate it!
-It's finally starting to set in that we are really getting a new public pool complex, it's true, it's true!
-You sat out in near hypothermic weather for 4 hours waiting for the Global Flyer to take off.
-You heard that Steve Fossett died in a plane crash, but you swear he is hiding out somewhere in one of Salina's 400 Mexican restaurants.
-You've watched Community Access during the day and said, "this is really lame". Then you watch it late at night when you are really tired and commented, "THIS IS AWESOME!"
-You met you husband/wife in either JC's, Rangers, Outlaws, Shooters, or the Paramount.
On the road again....
