However, I did have to drive through a herd of cattle near Elkhorn last week. Maybe that's the same as the left turn thing.0 -

John,
You'll be glad to know that #82 STILL holds true!!!!
I'll admit to about 90% of the list...But I have to say...You forgot STAA MAAKET . Major Mudd???"I'll be blasting you!" Frank A. So...How are you do-doodliy doing? I appeared once.

Springfield
What do you mean they think Springfield is way out west--Bostonians don't know where Western Mass is. They think it is down near Worcestor. Now go to Williamstown and you are really way out west....Ha Ha. ..Ruthe0 -
John, man thats wicked pissa
Funny stuff, bet I've done atleast 95% of then. But never did #32 and I can still close my eyes and hear Larry Glick in my head.0 -
'Hey Larry, how yah dooin?\"
"I dunno, lemme check." (whistles) "I'm okay, what's on your mind?"
I can still hear him singing the telephone number for 'BZ
"245-5678"
I spent 10 minutes today explaining to Sue in the customer service department (native Minnesotan) just what a "packie" is. There's 10 minutes I'll never get back!
And who can ever forget Willie Whistle? MAN am I homesick!0 -
John You never did #82
You nevr tired of the Kennedies or never voted for them or both??0 -

Add to this one:
"52. You know who Whitey Bulger is."
You know someone who says they know Whitey or had some kind of dealings with him.
So true about most of the list.

Glicknics, hey all you glicknics..................
#82 but they forgot New Years eve! Willie was a classic, tv38 was always a fun channel even if it was UHF. More foil on the ears. As far as the Kennedys never liked or voted for any of them and couldn't vote for JFK due to my age. JFK,JR always came across to me as normal, never throwing around the " do you know who I am" crap. He and maybe his sister are the only ones that I would even walk across the street to meet.0 -
Boston
You listen to Howie Carr on the way home.
You know how to pronounce Leicester...
You know where Leicester is!0 -

I can relate
Ok Woburn should have been on the list too.
I grew up about 45 min south of Boston. Then moved to NH.
I towed a man and his wife down to a "community" of about 100 buildings with multiple appartments in each in Boston.
Growing up in NH I never knew what minority meant untill that day!
Brought back some memories.0 -
How about a "Larry Glick salute".0 -
HEY BABA
There is Nothin like a Scorpion Bowl !! You and four of your best friends and a long straw.

Charlie's wife...
Now, if through the open window she could hand Charlie a sandwich as the train goes rumblin' through, why the heck couldn't she give him a nickel so he could get off the train?
I rode the T last summer during a visit -- they call the tickets "Charlie Passes." Man am I homesick!0 -
A new one for your list
John - You should add: You know that the only Massachusetts governor to have three towns named after him was Chub Peabody. The towns? Peabody, Marblehead and Athol.0 -

More memories...
Major Mudd and the "Nervous One"
"Howdy kids!" "Howdy Rex!"
Pablo, of course, and then Sargeant Billy, and the February trips to Disneyland. Would any parent let their kid do that alone now?

darn fine list -
and for those in Alberta, B.C., Montana and other snowy parts of our wonderful country ...
Jeff Foxworthy on Alberta:
If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 36 inches of
ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by, you may live
in Alberta.
If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May, you may live in
Alberta.
If you instinctively walk like a penguin for six months out of the year, you
may live in Alberta.
If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of his forehead,
you may live in Alberta.
If you have worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you may live in Alberta.
If you have had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialled a
wrong number, you may live in Alberta.
You Know You Are A TRUE Albertan When:
1. "Vacation" means going south past Calgary for the weekend.
2. You measure distance in hours.

7. Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
8. You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction.
9. Your idea of creative landscaping is a statue of a deer next to your blue spruce.
10. "Down south" to you means Calgary...
11. Your 1st of July picnic was moved indoors due to frost.
12. You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.
13. You find 0 degrees "a little chilly."
14. You actually understand these jokes, and you forward them to all your Alberta friends0 -
