You pronounce "Bowie" BOO-ee Not BOW-ee. Or BAUW-ee.

You remember driving over the old Kent Narrows bridge that everyone fishes off of now

You have more than three recipes for crab cakes.

Every kitchen has Old Bay and French fries just don't taste right without it.

There are more than two crab places in your town.

You still call Six Flags America "Adventure World" or even "Wild World."

You have fond memories of concerts at the Capital Center.

Too true.

You have attended at least one game at Memorial Stadium and wish you had just one brick

Earl Weaver - enough said

Mr. Baseball was Brookes Robinson

Amen.

You can tell the difference between the smells of septic and marsh.

Not MUCH difference, but it is a difference.

You not only know how to eat hard crabs, but also know how to catch them, cook them and tell the males from the females.

Doesn't everyone? :shrug:

You still root for the Orioles even when they suck.

Always.

When in Florida, you can only laugh when you see signs saying "Real Maryland Blue Crab Cakes!"

And they suck.

You know what a Nor Easter is and can do

You know a winter Nor Easter will dump a Blizzard on Maryland and we get a minimum of 3 days off of work and school

Yes. And what an ice storm is.

When someone says "The bridge traffic is bad," you know which bridge.

 

[camily]

And they suck.

Yeah, they're pretty much crab flavored bread patties. When we were in South Carolina I saw a restaurant that advertised "Real Maryland Fried Chicken". I didn't even know there was such a thing. What makes our chicken so special and where can I get this special chicken of which they speak?

I don't know and I don't think anyone else knows:

Q: What is Maryland fried chicken and what is the difference between that and any other fried chicken?
--Peg Gillum, Cumberland, MD

AskFN: Maryland fried chicken is the subject of a lot of contention. Though recipes for Maryland fried chicken have been found in cookbooks dating back to the early 1800s, it's unclear what makes it uniquely Maryland. It would seem that, initially, the fricassee-like combination of fried chicken and sauce (usually cream gravy) began in Maryland. Others argue that Maryland fried chicken is an outgrowth of Maryland's history of chicken production, and that Maryland fried chicken can only be made with chickens raised locally. The local-chicken camp seems to consider cream gravy less essential.

--Food Network Kitchens

Okay, clear as mud. It sounds like Maryland Fried Chicken is just regular fried chicken served with a cream gravy. :shrug:

I love it Camily! And it's all so true

You know you're from Southern Maryland when your neighbors kid is mowing the yard on the riding mower while his brother takes shots at him with a paintball gun. Like across the street right now.

St. Mary's County was the first county in Maryland and
St. Mary's City was the first Maryland capital

You know you're in Southern Maryland when you see dumbasses stopping in the roundabout.

 

[greyhound]

You know you're in Southern Maryland when you see dumbasses stopping in the roundabout.

You know your in southern Maryland when no one knows how to make a left turn at the traffic light at Ball road and Rt. 4.

Didn't the Sheriff have trouble with that one also?

 

[Kain99]

You know you are in Maryland when... Squatting on the side of the road to take a pee is no big deal. :Yay:

 

[greyhound]

I don't know.

 

[Wenchy]

You know you are in Maryland when:

You go from the Eastern Shore, to the Western Shore and then to SoMD, and feel like you have done a world tour.

 

[Wenchy]

That is all a "state" of mind.

 

[willie]

I don't know.

I believe they had a spot on Channel 6 instructing how to cross at that intersection and it got some negative reaction.

 

[chernmax]

You know you are from Southern Maryland when you need 4 family members to smile to get a full set of teeth...

Don't forget - you also:

(1) Know where the roller skating rinks are in any given town

(2) You've been to Lexington Market at least twice

(3) You remember "The Block" and not as a street reference

(4) You went to the Hippodrome Theater to catch the latest flicks

(5) You used "chicken necks" in your crab traps - hence the nickname "Chicken Neckers" (Oh, wait a minute - I'm from the Eastern Shore - that was our nickname for the Western Shorers)

(6) You never missed an opportunity to eat at Capt. Harvey's by the Key Bridge and get one of their infamous cheesesteak subs


I could go on forever...
