You Might Be From Fairbanks If:
If your local McDonalds blew up trying to heat up, you might live in Fairbanks Alaska.
If you instinctively walk like a penguin for seven months out of the year, you might live in Fairbanks Alaska.
If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of his forehead, you might live in Fairbanks Alaska.
If you have ever worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you might live in Fairbanks Alaska.
If your town has an equal number of bars and churches, you might live in Fairbanks Alaska. (Actually, I think the bars outnumber the churches now . . . . )
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRUE Fairbanksian WHEN:
1. Vacation means going to Hawaii in Jan/Feb.
2. You measure distance in hours. (I know that it's about 5 1/2 hours to Anchorage, but I have no idea how many miles it is!)
3. You know several people who have hit a Moose more than once.
4. You often switch from heat to AC in the same day and back again.
5. You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard, without flinching.
6. You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend knows how to use them. (Yes, I do)
7. You design your kids Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit. (Or over Carharts)
8. Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
9. You know all 5 seasons: Almost Winter, Winter, Still Winter, Road Construction, and It's Hot.
10. Your idea of creative landscaping is a statue of a Moose next to your spruce.
11. Down south means Anchorage to you.
12. You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.
13. You find 0 degrees a "little chilly".

Nice.....Lindsey, care to delete the Porn ad that is right now your only comment? I know you like it and all, but shit.....don't push it on us!!! (I know where to find my own, thanks)
So where in the hell is that sign? I think I can tell that it's in front of the airport, but I've never seen it....
And you're going to have to remind me about the McDonald's blowing up...I know that a Dairy Queen blew up a million years ago, and that Burger King caught fire or something from one of those industrial heaters when it was -60 or so one winter, but can't recall the McD's thing....
Hey, I'm just tryin' to help all those lonely bloggers out there! (Thanks, momma, I didn't see that until I got your email - YIKES!)
I just got that list forwarded to me. I have no liability for the things I forward.
