You Know You're a Lancaster Native
(thanks for the idea Beth)
When.....
You give someone an icy stare because they pronounce 'Lancaster' the way it's spelled.
You judge food by volume and gravy ratio.
You wet your pants and weep uncontrollably if the weatherman predicts more than an eighth of an inch of snow.
Italian food is Olive Garden and Pizza Hut.
You constantly end sentences improperly with "awhile" and "then".
You know the name and route number of every 'pike'.
You don't give cyclists room on the road (special bonus points for yelling 'faggot' or 'Lance').
You complain about sprawl yet you live in a house on a plot of land that was a farm 10 years ago.
You think Amish baked goods are wonderful (this may also qualify you as a Philadelphia or New Jersey tourist).
You think 20 minutes is a long commute.
You think anyone whose family doesn't go back 5 generations is an 'outsider'.
You enjoy scrapple and Leb'nin baloney.

Kev,
Way too much credit for lumping in Olive Garden with Pizza Hut.
Olive Garden is clearly too high-brow for Lancaster.
Ever been in a house built by the Amish? Once you get past the smell, you'll find there's not a square room in the place.
Smell?? I'm still trying to deal with the whole concept of 'scrapple', here.
Olive Garden is to real Italian food as Pizza Hut is to real pizza. The prices might be higher but it's still Americanized crap.
I tried to eat scrapple once G.
Once.
I can honestly say that I've never had "authentic" Itailian food. I would like too - but seems like every so called Italian restaurant consider anything edible with orangano on it as Italian. :o|
Scrapple is the bomb!
I like it with ketchup, not catsup. I have seen some folks eat it with maple syrup. That's kind of nasty.
Habbersetts makes the best scrapple.
Kev, you would have loved the place I went to on Thursday night. "Bocci". I they have THREE types of tripe.
That sir, is one way of telling if it's an authentic Italian place.
Like Dude ,.. you forgot the the total avoidance of the verb for "to be"...
"The buggy needs washed...."
No,.. No... Jake,..
The buggy needs TO BE washed,... AAARRRGGGHHH
My vocabulary needs improved.
I will pass on the scrapple, but give high marks to Taylor Pork Roll served with ketchup on an English muffin.
I would also like to add (along the biker/Lance comment), they enjoy yelling "faggot/Run Forrest Run" when you are out for a run. Not a jog, a run.
I always thought it was spelled, "Lankister".
Taylor Pork Roll....Ocean City Boardwalk.......Yee Haw!
Hmmm...check...check...check...double check...check...check...Hmmm no check for Olive Garden/Pizza Hut...check...check. Yes, you seem to have me pegged to a T.
I yell, "Simeoni!" out the window at the cyclists.
I don't really enjoy scrapple, but baloney....mmmmmmm....
