It’s been more than a year since we shared a collection of “You Know You’re From Denver When” punchlines.
But fortunately, there are an infinite number of ways to answer that question.
For our latest batch, we culled responses from a vintage Facebook post on their favorite ways to finish this sentence.
We have a feeling longtime Denverites and relative newcomers alike will be able to relate – although maybe to different items.
Count down our ten photo-illustrated favorites below.
Number 10: You know you’re from Denver when…you refer to a certain art piece as “the dancing aliens.”
Number 9: You know you’re from Denver when…you still call the Broncos’ stadium “Mile High Stadium.”
Number 8: You know you’re from Denver when…you know the Blue Bonnet isn’t a hat shop.
Number 7: You know you’re from Denver when…it’s been sunny all day, but you know it’s about time to go home from work because it started raining.
Number 6: You know you’re from Denver when…you’ve gone all the way downtown from the burbs to buy a hard-to-find album at Wax-Trax.
Number 5: You know you’re from Denver when…you laugh at skiing tourists from TX wearing hideous, brightly colored jumpsuits.
Number 4: You know you’re from Denver when…80% of your snowfall happens in spring.
Number 3: You know you’re from Denver when…as a kid, you wanted to be a Casa Bonita swan diver when you grew up.
Number 2: You know you’re from Denver when…you spent a lot of time feeding geese at Wash Park.
Number 1: You know you’re from Denver when…you get disgusted at someone wearing Oakland Raiders crap!
