You Know You're From Missouri When...
Everyone in your family has been on a "Float trip."
"Vacation" means driving to Silver Dollar City, Worlds of Fun or Six Flags.
Down south to you means Arkansas.
You go to the park at 3pm, and the skies are clear. By 3:05 you're running for cover from the thunderstorms.
The phrase, "I'm going to the Lake this weekend," can mean only one thing.
You think Missouri is pronounced with an "ah" at the end.
You know in your heart that Mizzou can beat Nebraska in football.
You've said, "It's not the heat, it's the humidity."
You'll pay for your kids to go to college unless they want to go to KU.
You know that Concordia is halfway between Kansas City and Columbia, and Columbia is halfway between St. Louis and Kansas City, and Warrenton outlet mall is halfway between Columbia and St. Louis.
You can't think of anything better than sitting on the porch in the middle of the summer during a thunderstorm.
You know that Harry S. Truman, Walt Disney and Mark Twain are all from Missouri.
You know what "cow tipping" or "Possum Kicking" is.
You think Imo's is larger than Pizza Hut.
You can tell the difference between a horse and a cow from a distance.
You don't put too much effort into hairstyles due to wind and weather.
The local gas station sells live bait.
All your radio preset buttons are country.
You know enough to get your driving done early on Sundays before the Sunday drivers come out.
There's a tornado warning and the whole town is outside watching for it.

i'm not from there, though i've driven through once & again, but you'll still find me sitting on my porch during a summertime thunderstorm. (or running around on the lawn.)
