Not Yet Anyway

I was digging through my rarely checked Hotmail account just now when I found this, sent to me a couple of weeks ago by a reformed South Australian. Seen as how I'm moving to Adelaide next year, I thought I'd go through them to see how South Australian I hopefully am not yet.

I'll bold all the ones that apply to me

YOU KNOW YOU ARE FROM SA WHEN.............

• You have been to Glenelg and got extremely sunburnt
• You know what fritz is
• You say plaaaant not pleeeent
• You have the same friends from high school

• You know what Fruchocs are.
• You believe that anything that has ever breathed or moved in Adelaide air is 'Adelaide's Own'.
• You're well aware that for one month of the year, it is impossible to travel from one side of the city to the other, and during this period you will acquire a passion for V8s, a love of the arts, appreciation for world music, and expertise in food and wine.
• You pour Farmer's Union Iced Coffee on your breakfast cereal.
• You will never forgive Melbourne for stealing our Grand Prix. Never.
• You know how 'dance', 'pool', 'castle' and 'graph' are SUPPOSED to be pronounced. - NOTE: YEAH, the only one that has an 'r' sound in it, is the word that actually contains that letter.....
• You get offended when people from Western Australia call SA part of the "East Coast".
• You insist on calling AAMI Stadium, "Footy Park".
• You say a Pie Floater tastes great just to maintain your street cred.
• You believe that other states' time zones are not good enough for us. - I believe the inverse.
• You acknowledge that, while half of our state is uninhabitable, you know that it's still the greatest.
• You think the 'Tiser has no journalistic integrity whatsoever....and yet you still read it every day.
• One word: Haigh's - Never been there, heard they're really good & probably will when I move there.
• You buy your CDs from shabby "Big Star" outlets
• You know that Victor Harbor is the only place to be for Schoolies.
• You forgave the Chappells for the 1981 Underarm Incident purely out of South Australian patriotism.
• You have a unfettered love of either Crows or Port to the complete exclusion of the other.
• You know the people out on the Torrens are either tourists or rowers. No one else would go near that water. - That sounds strangely like the Yarra......
• You think the Festival Centre is a wonder of modern architecture. -HAHA, Like Federation Square..... *Sarcasm*
• You console yourself that, despite all our faults, at least South Australia wasn't built by convicts.
• You can leave work at 5:15 and miss "peak hour traffic" -Bull, it's always peakhour because they havn't thought of building Freeways yet.
• You can have a grin at the fact that Adelaide's second name is "City of Churches"
• You're not scared by Aboriginals walking around Adelaide in speedos and gumboots - That guy was (is?) a legend......
• Your 'sports gurus' are KG and Cornesy
• You either live on one side or the other of the great divide (Gepps
• Cross intersection)
• You're aware that everything is not just good, it's "heaps good"
• You still claim Anthony LaPaglia as an Adelaidean cos he worked in a shoe shop in Rundle Mall once.
