Posted: 12/13/2006 1:25:14 PM | You know you are a true Ontarian if:
1. You consider it a sport to drill through 36" of ice and sitting there all day hoping that food will swim by.
2. You measure distance in hours.
3. You know several people who have hit a deer more then once.
4. You switch from "heat" to "A/C" the same day and back again.
5. You can drive 100km/h through 2 feet of snow in a blizzard, without flinching.
6. You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
7. Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
8. You know all 4 seasons: Almost winter, Winter, Still winter and Road construction.
9. Your idea of creative landscaping is a statue of a deer next to your blue spruce.
10.You have more miles on your snow blower then your car.
11.You find 0degrees "a little chilly"
12.If you have worn shorts and a parka at the same time.
Sorry had to share these when I got them. | |

Posted: 12/13/2006 2:05:59 PM | | Reminds me of a small story my Screen Printing teacher told in my class that when he went to Las Vegas to a Tradeshow one year in December. His friend who lived in the southern states was walking beside him saying "Man it's chilly out", and he said "What are ya talking about? it's great!" while wearing shorts. | |

Posted: 12/15/2006 8:46:45 AM | Other wonderous things about being an Ontarian:
1. Our Beer Stores and Liquor Stores are SEPERATE!!!
2. The mass exodus in the spring and summer, every friday evening, towards cottage country.
3. Thinking that Barrie is the north lmao.
4. Jogging in minus 40 degree weather, not to get inside somewhere, but JUST TO STAY IN SHAPE.
5. Driving to Buffalo or Detroit because we consider them 'great weekend getaway's'.
I tried lol | |

Posted: 12/15/2006 12:00:49 PM | We also have duct tape ready for any occasion including instant repairs on Christmas morning because we don't read the instructions before putting the items together.
Walk indoors, and outdoors too, with our right elbow into our ribs with forearm extended. This lets our hand form a sideways letter C which is perfect for putting a cup of coffee in. | |

You see a cop run over a pedestrian because they didn't have the right of way. You side with the cop. | |
