I was tired of having that rant up there, and with no time to update, I thought I would throw this up there.

You are from Massachusetts if...

The person driving in front of you is going 70 mps and you are cursing him for going too slow.

The fact that Route 128 and I-95 are pretty much the same thing doesn't confuse you.

When ordering a tonic, you mean a coke ... not water with bubbles.

You can navigate a rotary without a problem.

You almost feel insulted when someone doesn't flip you off when you cut them off, or steal their parking space, etc.

You know how to pronounce towns like Worcester, Haverhill and Cotuit.

You have driven to New Hampshire on a Sunday in order to get beer.

You know that there are two Bulger brothers (both are crooks but you know there are two).

You have been to Fenway Park.

You knew that there was no chance in Hell that the Patriots would move to Hartford (Ha! Ha!).

You laugh at all of the other states in New England.

You know of at least 1 diner or food vendor to get something to eat after last call.

You can actually find your way around Boston.

You have spent at least 1 weekend at UMass.

The curse of the Bambino is taught in public schools.

You refer to the New York Yankees as the Devil's Bitches or something worse.

Colleges are used as landmarks for directions, i.e. Go past MIT until you hit Harvard. Take a right and go past Lesley. Keep going until you get to Tufts. (actual directions).

Doug Flutie is the greatest athlete ever.

Evacuation Day is a recognized holiday.

You know at least 1 guy either named Sean, Pat, White, Red, O.B. Clancy or Seamus.

You think the rest of the country owes you for having things like Thanksgiving and independence.

As a kid you laughed at the kids down south who never got to have snow days.

You feel that the rest of the world needs to drive more like you.

The Beanpot is a hockey tournament not a serving container.

You take great pride in Cheers.

You can recognize a Revere girl simply by looking at her hair.

You know exactly where you were when the ball rolled through Buckner's legs.

You know that there is a bigger difference between Roxbury and West Roxbury than just a direction.

Somebody calls you a Masshole and you take it as a compliment.

When the words "WICKED" and "GOOD" go together.

When you know deep down that the Red Sox will ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS find some way to lose.

When you actually pray to God for the Red Sox to win the World Series not for this season, but someday in your lifetime.

When you know what a frappe is.

When road rage is accepted by everyone

When you are in another part of the country driving and you say to someone "I'm lost" and you are mesmerized that they didn't say "Good for you!" and actually gave you directions.

When you know what the phrase "BIG DIG" means

When you actually know how to merge from 6 lanes of traffic all into one lane.

When you know where and what "Southie" is.

When you feel that the curse of the bambino applies not just for the Red Sox but all Boston sports.

When you are extremely proud to drink a Sam Adams and think that the rest of the country owes Bostonians a thank you.

When St. Patrick's day is your second favorite holiday.

When you barely ever say "Cape Cod" you say "The Cape"

If you know exactly where you were when Carlton Fiske hit the ball off the foul pole in the 1975 World Series.

If you were moved when the Boston Garden was torn down.

When you think that people like Bucky Dent, Roger Clemens, and Derek Jeter are more evil than Whitey Bulger

And, the final and most prominent way to know that you are from Massachusetts...
You do not recognize the letter "R" as a part of the English language.

Before - After
