You know you are in Green Bay when. . .

You've had hamburgers with butter on them.
You enjoy hearing “The Bears Still Suck Polka”
For the most part, you go to Milwaukee only for festivals and concerts
Someone called you a “little beeler” when you were a kid
You've eaten a kneecap
You hate paying a cover charge to hear live music
You hold your breath going through Kaukauna on US 41
You've been to or heard all about the parties at Long Tail
Instead of “DePere”, you say “Deep Here”
You think of Zima as something other than a drink
You know what FIBs and FISHTABs are and how to spot them
You know there's more to a good brat than just throwing it on a grill
No one has to explain to you the definition of bubbler
Only as a last resort will you park in a ramp
In your opinion, there's only one professional sports team in Wisconsin

You can smell when they're making dryer sheets at P&G
You're not a culture snob, but you enjoy seeing shows at the Weidner
Center
You think there's too much traffic in Door County during the summer
You either have season tickets for the Packers or are among the 48,000
or so on the waiting list
You remember when Oshkosh was the place to be on St. Patrick's Day
You don't get out your winter coat until the temperature gets below
zero
You go to a fancy restaurant in a big city and ask, “what do you have
for tappers?”
It doesn't bother you that there's no sand and no place to swim at Bay
Beach
You know there's something missing from the Spirit of Northwest statue
in front of the Brown County Courthouse
You've had booyah at a church picnic
Friday wouldn't feel like a Friday if you didn't have fried perch
You were a bartender before you were old enough to drink legally

And, finally, you know you're from Green Bay when you realize the area
may not be perfect, but it didn't need All-American City honors for you to recognize it's not a bad place to live.

Morning Prayer

Dear Lord,

So far today, I am doing all right. I have not gossiped, lost my temper,
been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish, or self indulgent.

However, I am going to get out of bed in a few minutes, and I will need a
lot more help after that.

Amen.
