U.R.A. Texan If....

U R A Texan if: 1. You can properly pronounce Tivoli, Palestine, Weslaco, Wichita Falls, San Antonio , Burnet , Boerne , Nacogdoches , Mexia, Waco, Elgin, Amarillo, and Waxahachie. 2. A siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel cloud. 3. You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day. 4. You know that the true value of a parking space is not determined by the distance to the door, but by the availability of shade. 5. You see people wear bib overalls at funerals. 6. You measure distance in minutes. 7. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit. 8. Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan his wedding date. 9. You have known someone who has had a belt buckle bigger than your fist. 10. You aren't surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, and bait all in the same store. 11. Your "place at the lake" has wheels under it. 12. A Mercedes Benz is not a status symbol; a Ford F350 4x4 is. 13. You know everything goes better with Ranch dressin'. 14. You actually understand this and you are "fixin' to" send it to your friends. 20. Finally, you are 100% Texan if you have ever heard this conversation: " You wanna coke?" "Yeah." "What kind?" "Dr. Pepper ."

Thanks to Steven Fieg for this oh so true list!
