I am a St Louis Gal!

Maybe the below will explain to some of you why I am the way i am....And now I will crave toasted ravioli and Imo's Pizza for the rest of the day !

You know you're from St. Louis when you measure the distance to get somewhere in time not by how many miles.

You are from St. Louis if, it's pronounced St. Louis, Missouree not Missoura. And you cringe when someone says St Louie...

You Know you are from St. Louis when you know this phrase "Cheap Cheap. Fun Fun."

If you got a hole in you or a hole in your heart, or hole in your roof....

You know your from STL when you find yourself cursing on anyone whose wearing a cubs baseball cap.

You know your from STL when everyone you know has gone on a "FLOAT TRIP"

You know your from St. Louis if you go to another state order toasted ravioli and wonder what the hell is wrong with this place when they don't have it.

You know you're in STL when the weather is 80 one day and 40 the next.

Haha, 878-9999 is American equity mortgage.

You know how to find the Shane Co., and you've memorized American Equity Mortgage's Phone #, and not to mention the fact that you can sing the Mattress Giant jingle.

When you increase your speed by 20mph as you cross from county to city.

you know you're from St Louis when all that you and your friends can think about is leaving. And you all go away to school. And two years later, everyone is back in town and never wants to leave.

"Vacation" is a choice between Silver Dollar City and Lake of the Ozarks.

You can get anywhere in 20 minutes, except on highway 40.

You know what "Party Cove" is, and where the "lake" is. So many found memories!

You still can't believe the Arena is gone.

Your first question to a new person is, "Where did you go to High School?"

Your non-St. Louisan friends always ask if you're aware there is no "r" in "wash." And no "r" in toilet.

You think the four major food groups are Beef, Pork, Budweiser and Imo's.

You know there are really only three salad dressings: Imo's, Zia's and Rich and Charlie's.

It just doesn't seem like a wedding without mostaciolli. AND YOU PRONOUNCE IT 'MUSKACHOLLI'. The balance of the menu is ham, boiled roast beef, string beans with ham and of course pitchers of Busch Bavarian (class weddings have Bud)

You know, within a three-mile radius, where another St. Louisan grew up as soon as they open their mouth.

You know what a Pork Steak is...and what kind of sauce to put on it.

Everyone in your family has floated the Meramec River at least once.

A hoosier is someone that lives just south of Chouteau, not a person from Indiana.

You have listened to Mike's broadcast on KMOX, while watching the game on TV and wonder what game he is watching. A tear forms in your eye as someone mentions their favorite Jack Buck story.

You've said, "It's not the heat, it's the humidity."

Your favorite summer treat is handed to you upside-down.



Gosh I miss home.....
