You know your a ________ when...
When I was a kid, I wanted to author a series of books by the title, "You know your a ________ when..." I would then fill in the ________ with things like 'hick', 'college student', 'native Nevadan', and 'coke addict' for each book in the series (OK, I threw in the last one because I wanted to be cool). Turns out Jeff Foxworthy stole my idea, but I shall subject you to some of mine anyhow...You know your a native Nevadan when...
- You go to a casino for the food not to gamble
- You don't know what summer is like without wildfire smoke caked in your lungs
- It's weird to go in a grocery store that doesn't have slot machines by the door
- You dress up for a night on the town, but wear jeans to church
- You've had to explain to someone that Carson City is the capital, not Las Vegas
- You think it's wierd that you can't buy alcohol after 5 pm in Oregon
- You think a red dude in a loin cloth is "normal"
- It feels strange for you to gamble at a casino
- You know that burning man is less about burning and more about legaly committing just about every sin on the books
OK, that's it for now. You guys got anything to add to this? Or how about another funny word or phrase to fill in the ________?

I'm not a native Nevadan, but here's one for you:
You know you're a transplanted Nevadan when you can no longer stand humidity.

...when you see a dozen or more '57 Chevys cruising on McCarren and you don't care.

...when you've had your picture taken with the MGM lion.
...when you still refer to the Sparks Marina as "Helm's pit."

...when you can remember driving down 4th street to get through Reno because there was no freeway.

i had my picture taken with that lion and my grandparents built the first one and only Roman Catholic Church out in Silversprings. Akay- you know your a native if you even know where that is let alone have a claim to fame out there!! That's just sad!!!

I deny that I know where Silver Springs is. Or Yerington, or Tonopah.
