[ConcreteJungle]

you must be from OR/WA if you

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Sorry, to any ladies here but coming from TX where makeup is required to go to leave your bedroom and CA where a tan and a nice body is the norm not the exception - it's a bit different.

SO TRUE...

 

[Medic!]

You could be from Oregon.

If you die. Then go to hell?

And it takes three month before you dry out and burn?

You may be from Oregon or Washington if you want to choke a chicken everytime some east coaster pronounces it OR-E-GONE

 

[jbett98]

You may be from Western Oregon or Washington if rust doesn't bother you, unless it's on your favorite gun.

 

[kenboy]

You may be from Oregon or Washington if you think three gun safes in your home is normal

 

[edslhead]

You may be from Oregon or Washington if the elections over and you haven't voted yet.

 

[PaulB47]

You may be from Oregon or Washington if you sharpen your own saw chain.

You may be from Oregon or Washington if you don't honk when someone in front of you is having trouble getting his car moving.

You may be from Oregon or Washington if you smile when driving east up the Gorge, and frown when driving west.

You just may be from OR&WA - If you know what ''JoJo's and Goop'' is. If you call a Creek a ''Crick'' If you call a Motorcycle a ''Motorsickle'' If you pronounce WA, as ''Worshington'' and a Robot is a ''Rowbutt''

You may be from Oregon or Washington if your permaculture institute encourages firearms.

Oh man

I got caught today!

pulled up to a left turn red , looked back and saw a nice looking truck pull up behind me , I looked out the rear view for like 8 seconds at the nice looking grill and the guy seems to lift his hand slightly
I thought "whats he doing" .....so I stare for another 3-4 seconds and the guy lifts his hand like "what the EFF"
I think "wow what a D head"
I look forward and its a blinking yellow....probably for about the entire time

I thought of this thread instantly ......turns out I was the "D head" LOL!

 

[Charliehorse]

I was born at Wilamette Falls hospital in Oregon City, so.... you may be NATIVE Oregonian if you want to break your foot off in an "out of stater" transplant's arse, just because.

Just remember... some of us are from the other end of the Oregon Trail. And you wouldn't be here if it wasn't for us. lol

LOL.... that was then, this is now.... and "now" be a "tad bit" on the sucky-side.

I'm with the stupids! somewhere in Portland for me though

No kidding. I've taken some month long motorbike trips across the nation and people can easily see your license plate (golly!) and there are no windows so people get to jawin. It's amazing the number of people who mispronounce Oregon.
And another thing, most people from around here do not say "Washington state", unless referring to the state college.
And Vancouver is not in BC.

Slight slip in attention at a light is some of the mildest infractions I can think of.

Honestly, it's the guy with the shiny trucks fault - they want the attention but then are in too much of a hurry to enjoy it

 

[Certaindeaf]

You might be from here if it takes you about a week to drive like a Californian in San Francisco.. where it's normal to purposely go airborne and triple park in the middle of the road.
Oh, and to stop waiting for someone to fill your gas tank. lol

Maybe only transplants like me (moved here around 12 years old; although I still have family in TX and CA) will get some of this thread but you people in the PNW have some strange (to a southerner) ways.

This is meant to be a lighthearted thread mostly, so try not to get to nasty - after all, it's not their fault they were raised here!

So in the "You may be a Redneck" format I give to you for everyone's enjoyment "You just may be from OR & WA if you:"


You just may be from OR & WA if you:
Take a "beep" from my horn as a "HONK!!!!"

You just may be from OR & WA if you:
Can not make it to freeway speeds on some of the longest on ramps in the country in a modern automobile.

You just may be from OR & WA if you:
Hog the fast lane and pace the middle lane.

You just may be from OR & WA if you:
Tailgate me, so I move over to let you pass and move in behind you; then you drive 5 miles an hour slower then I had been driving.

I have a slew more but thought I'd give some others a chance to chime in first...

****Also, let me know if you think this is a PNW thing or just a Portland and Seattle type city issue in the PNW****

When I moved to the PNW......On point

 

[Garg]

You might be from OR/WA if you bbq all year round, in the rain, snow, whatever, it just tastes better

 

[DuneHopper]

You may be from OR/WA IF, ( i'll get hate mail )

1. Ever got drunk and thought about your neighbors sheep.
2. Your local dentist uses the same guy that makes your dentures and repairs firearms
3. If you go to the local Walmart at 2am to pick up women.
4. Ever given ammo to your spouse as an anniversary present.
5. Seen a Liberal Conservative and can actually explain what that is.
6. You look at the California border and think you are at war with the inhabitants.
7. You see California plates, and think about following them and tell them what you think (be honest)

Yea, at 12 we moved here to be with my mothers family; I had a lot to say in the matter...

If it helps any I married me a Vancouver native.
