2. The "farm-to-market" roads have seven lanes.

 

3. If you want to be a snob about your grocery shopping, you can go to a Randall's Flagship, a Kroger Signature, a Rice Epicurean, or soon, an HEB Central Market to buy bread and milk (but you have to dress up).

 

4. You have to turn on the air-conditioning in January, two days after a low of 29 degrees.

 

5. You have a Roach Story: You opened your flatware drawer to find a roach the size of the Taco Bell Chihuahua. He stood up and looked you in the eye. You closed the drawer, bought new flatware, and stored it in the oven. (The flatware, that is, not the roach.) Or, your friend has a Roach Story -- about a dive-bomber who crashed her formal dinner party, made several passes at guests whose heads were bobbing like little dogs in car windows, and finally landed in somebody's soup.

 

6. The name "Bud Adams" makes people snarl, and "Bum Phillips" doesn't mean a bad screwdriver.

 

7. "Luv ya Blue" still makes you smile, even if you did run the Oilers out of town.

 

8. You know that the Astrodome will always be the Eighth Wonder of the World.

 

9. You come to work in short-sleeves and walk out at noon to find that a "blue-tailed northern" has blown through, causing the temperature to drop 40 degrees in a matter of minutes, forcing you to go to your car to get your coat or sweater.

 

10. Your neighbor's Christmas yard decorations look like a bad re-creation of the gunfight at the OK Corral, complete with a ten-foot tree decorated with boots and cowboy hats, and a Santa Claus who looks a lot like Wyatt Earp.

 

11. You wander into a section of town where you can't read the street signs because they're written in Asian characters instead of English, but you don't care because you can get great prices on fake designer merchandise there.

 

12. You go to an art festival on Westheimer and you're almost run down by two handholding cross-dressers on roller blades.

 

13. The "Killer Bees" are not stinging insects (it's a local band).

 

14. You hear everything but English spoken when you go to the Galleria to window shop. (You can't afford to buy because the prices are jacked up for all the foreign tourists.) You should stick to the ice-skating rink -- if you can afford that.

 

15. You know that "Dadgummit" has nothing to do with your father's failure to practice good dental hygiene.

 

16. You think "Y'all" is perfectly good usage if you're referring to more than one person. XDXDXD

18. Society matrons of "a certain age" still sport big hair and faces that have gone east, west, and north, rather than south.

20. You've never seen I-45 in any condition other than under-construction -- and you've lived here for 30 years.

 

21. If the humidity is below 90 percent, it's a good hair day.

23. "The Dream" is not a fantasy.

26. You know that while saving you money, "Mattress Mac" has amassed more than the U.S. treasury.

 

27. You're happy to have beaten Los Angeles out of a football team, but you'd rather they keep the title of "Smog Capital."

 

28. You see nothing unusual about an 80-something former sheriff's deputy who wears a white pompadour toupee and blue sunglasses, mispronounces names, allows televising of his frequent plastic surgeries, seems unnaturally obsessed with slime in the ice machine, and screams, "MAR-vin ZIND-ler, EYE-witness news" into a television camera every night.
