Hi, I'm a strawberry pocky jedi from Arizona.
You Are Strawberry Pocky |
 Your attitude: fresh and sweet Comforting, yet quirky ... quietly hyper You always see both sides to everything |
| Your Star Wars Pickup Line |
 "I will show you the true nature of the Force." |
You Know You're From Arizona When... |
You've signed so many petitions to recall governors you can't remember the name of the incumbent. -I don't read 'em, I just sign 'em. You notice your car overheating before you drive it. -My poor, hot car. You no longer associate bridges or rivers with water. -It's true, our river has no water. You know a swamp cooler is not a happy hour drink. -And that they do not work well. AC!! You can hear the weather forecast of 115 degrees without flinching. -Eh, it's not so bad. You can be in the snow, then drive for an hour...and it will be over 100 degrees. -Yeah, if I was lucky enough to be in northern AZ. You discover, in July it only takes two fingers to drive your car, because your steering wheel is so hot. -I can't touch it now. You can make sun tea instantly. -If I drank tea. You run your a/c in the middle of winter so you can use your fireplace. -I've thought of it, but we didn't even bother to build a fireplace. It just doesn't get that cold. The best parking is determined by shade.....not distance. -If only I could find that shade.. You realize that "Valley Fever" isn't a disco dance. -Haha. Hotter water comes from the cold water tap than the hot one. -I've never put the washing machine on warm water. It's too hot. It's noon in July, kids are on summer vacation and yet all the streets are totally empty of both cars and people. -What, do you want to melt? You actually burn your hand opening the car door. -Uh, yes? Sunscreen is sold year round, kept right at the checkout counter. -At Bashas' we even keep some next to the frozen section. You put on fresh sunscreen just to go check the mail box. -I wouldn't risk that long a walk. Some fools will market mini-misters for joggers and some other fools will actually buy them. Worse.....some fools actually try to jog. -Hahahahhahaaaaa! Jogging... You know hot air balloons can't rise because the air temperature is hotter than the air inside the balloon. -I can honestly say, I've never seen a hot air balloon in Arizona. No one would dream of putting vinyl inside a car. -Unless you want to stick to your seat. You see two trees fighting over a dog. -If we had trees. You can say "Hohokam" and people don't think you're laughing funny. -I've never had to say it, but no one would think it odd. You see more irrigation water on the street than there is in the Salt River. -Pretty much. You have to go to a fake beach for some fake waves. -w00t! Sunsplash wave pool!!! You can pronounce"Saguaro", "Tempe", "San Xavier", "Canyon de Chelly", "Mogollon Rim", and "Cholla". -Why, can't you? You can understand the reason for a town named "Why". -I've even been there. You can fry an egg on the hood of a car IN THE MORNING! -Not that I'd want to go out in the heat. You hear people say "but it's a DRY heat!" -Everyday. But the "dry" makes my skin...dry... You buy salsa by the gallon. -*checks the fridge* Hehe. Guilty. Your Christmas decorations include sand and l00 paper bags. -We don't want to go out in the sun to put them up. You think a red light is merely a suggestion. -Okay, not true for me, but for many it seems. All of your out-of-state friends start to visit after October but clear out come the end of April. -Wow, that's exactly when my Grandparents used to come and go. :P You think someone driving wearing oven mitts is clever. -That's a good idea... Most of the restaurants in town have the first name "El" or "Los." -El Charro, Los Gilbertos, La Paloma, hehehe... You think 60 tons of crushed red rock makes a beautiful yard. -I'd like grass, but there is just no way it would survive. Your house is made of stucco and has a red clay tile roof. -Yes to stucco, no to tile roof. But the neighbors... Vehicles with open windows have the right-of-way in the summer. -Haha! Poor things with no AC. Most homes have more firearms than people. -Heehee. *loads a few of them* Kids will ask, "What's a mosquito?" -Because it's too hot for them to survive. People who have black cars or black upholstery in their car are automatically assumed to be from out of-state or nuts. -Nuts. You know better than to get into a car with leather seats if you're wearing shorts. -Oi, that's asking for trouble. If you haven't worked for Motorola at some time, you must be a newcomer. -Wait, what? You can finish a Big Gulp in 10 minutes and go back for seconds. -Mmm...cherry coke. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Arizona. |
