this is a list that my roommate and I have collected over the past few weeks from seeing different people around Rexburg. We titled it "You know you are in Idaho when..."
Idaho from the eyes of Heather and Sara 2007
YOU KNOW YOU ARE IN IDAHO WHEN….
*everyone talks about going huntin’
* guys talks about “drivin’ spud truck”
* Redneck jokes are the norm…
* Boys wear Carhart Coveralls to class* your anatomy teacher wears a shotgun shell holder to class and puts dry erase markers in it
*two year old children only know how to say “gun”*Sonic is the cool place to go and eat or get a limeade slush*wal-mart sells overalls (overalls went out in the 90’s) *the temperature hits -35 and everyone still goes on with the day like nothing happened*you go shooting cereal boxes and water jugs on the weekend*its nothing new to see a mullet *your nostrils freeze when you walk outside
*nobody shops at Albertsons Grocery Store because it’s too expensive
*the bottoms of all your jeans are stained with “red rock” from the roads
*people think it is okay to wear Wrangler’s out in public
*you have to have portable heaters and electric blankets to survive at all
*your toes feel like they are going to fall off and be purple when you walk outside no matter what shoes you have on
*you have to wear tennis shoes to walk to church and then change into church shoes when you get there because it’s to slick to walk in heels
*you go through lotion like there is no tomorrow *Idaho Falls in the “big city” and Salt Lake City is just HUGE
*it’s not a truck…it’s a pick up and HEAVEN FORBID you call it a car
*you walk around with a toothpick in your teeth, sucking on it all day
*you can tell you are in Idaho because as soon as you cross the border your tan fades and you look like a ghost
*your hot chocolate freezes outside INSIDE the travel mug!!! (January 27, 2007)
*free beef is offered for purchasing car tires
*”E-Brake” u-turns
*you wear flip flops in 35+ degrees
*you can see for miles and miles with nothing in sight
*you can paint your house pink or green or blue or have fake farm animals decorating your front fence because there is no such thing as a homeowners association
*you go tanning outside and lay out when it reaches 50 degrees
*you wear chaps and a cowboy hat snowboarding

Great list. NO doubt you were in Idaho. Are Tom and Jill and Linds and Andrew now going to come to reunions in overalls and Wranglers?

WRANGLERS!! what is this uncle dave!! those are for the hicks! and the oakley nilsens are FOR SURE, and MOST DEFINITELY NOT HICKS!!! for sure!! haah jk!! and by the way some of those things dont just happen in idaho they happen other places too! haha no offense taken we love you too!
The Oakley Nilsen's are totally amazing. The thought never crossed my mind to put them into Wranglers. They are way to pretty to be hicks. No mullets, no missing teeth, no wranglers, no problem. I love you guys!
That is a hilarious list and you really can tell that you are in Idaho. Hope your lovin' it there!
