You Know You're From New England

I thought the NJ thread was hilarious, soooo.....you know you're from New England when:
You can identify someone's state by whether they like Coffee Time, Aristocrat, or Eclipse.
Your "regular" is not "black".
You know what "wicked good" means, and if you call someone a "son of a b*(^%" you know you aren't from northern Maine where they say something else...
Up in Ellsworth is down east.
You know how to negotiate a rotary
You know what "nation" you are from (that would be Red Sox nation)
You know a frappe from a milk shake
You get your groceries in a bag, not a sack
It's tonic, not soda or pop, and you have tasted Moxie at least once - and maybe you even like it
You know what a leaf peeper is
You know where "Moody's diner" and "the County" are
You know that Canadians go to Ogunquit, New Yorkers go to Vermont, and Massh*&#s go to Maine.
You know where it's a Hoagie, where it's a Grinder, and where it's a Sub

You know you're from New England when
You see both signs for "MOOSE X-ING" and "FALLING ROCKS" on your commute to work.
You can properly pronounce Pemigewasset and probably drive over it on your commute to work, too!

You love the Kancamagus in the summer, but hate it in the winter.
You love the Red Sox, even if you know nothing about baseball, because anything else could be hazardous to your health.
Most of your holiday parties involve a clam bake
You recognize a Mass*#$ as soon as he opens his mouth
You also recognize the value of vowels over consonants ("ova theehaa")
You live by the motto: "Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without"
You shop/shopped at DeMoulas, Butsons, or The Globe

Oh, and by the way, if you actually LIKE the taste of Moxie, I think you should be booted! That stuff is revolting!
