Thing #9.5: In which Stacey uses Zoho again, hon

This is the e-mail I was talking about in my MERLIN post.

You know you're from Maryland when:

• You know how to pronounce 'Towson'.
• You remember what the Inner Harbor looked like before it was the Inner Harbor.
• You ate at Haussner's.
• You remember Friendship Airport.
• You remember driving over the Kent Narrows Draw-Bridge that snarled weekend traffic coming home from down the ocean, hon.
• You love the Domino Sugar sign you can see across the harbor.
• You remember the rotating restaurant on top of the Holiday Inn on Light Street.
• You know Annapolis and Hopkins are national treasures and you get a kick out of hearing them named in movies or TV.
• You know B&O is not body odor.
• That downtown smelled great near McCormick's.
• Every kitchen has a can of Old Bay.
• You refer to your state as 'Marilyn' (or 'Merlin')
• You and your mom shopped at Brager Gutmans, Hutzlers, The Hub, Stewart's, The May Company.
• You know where 'Downey Ocean' is.
• You remember the Civic Center.
• You know Pam Shriver is from Maryland.
• You know how to eat steamed crabs, but also know how to tell the males from the females.
• You don't think that Assawoman Bay is a strange name.
• M R Ducks makes perfect sense.
• You have fond memories of Memorial Stadium.
• You still root for the Orioles, even when they aren't doing well.
• Everybody knows what a 'zink' and a 'payment' are.
• When anywhere else, you can only laugh when you see signs saying 'Maryland Crab Cakes!'
• You say 'Blare Road' for Bel Air Road.
• You remember Jerry Turner and Al Sanders.
• You remember Oprah and Richard Scher together in the mornings on channel 13.
• Vince Bagli was "the" sports announcer on TV
• You remember Mayor Schaeffer swimming with the seals (in his old fashioned bathing suit) at the National Aquarium.
• You swore Frank Perdue kinda looked like one of his tender chickens.
• You know which bridge they're talking about, when someone says, "The bridge traffic is backed up."
• You revere the names of Johnny U, Brooks and Frank.
• You actually understand all of these and pass them on to other Marylanders to enjoy!
