    5. You think the Guthrie looks like an Ikea built for the Death Star, but it's the best theater in town.

    11. You have cravings for a Juicy Lucy.

    12. You've got an affinity for the Premium Grainbelt sign, even if you've outgrown their beer. (In favor of Surlys, of course.)

    13. "Interesting", "different" and "healthy" are Minnesota Nice for "weird", "terrible" and "fat."

    20. You remember Diablo Cody from the City Pages weekly paper.

    21. You know how to cross downtown without ever going outside.

    22. You've shopped at Oar Folkjokepus and Electric Fetus.

    23. You've rolled your eyes at the girls wearing practically nothing in line for a nightclub when it's below zero.

    24. You would never dream of taking the last piece of food at a party. (But you'll "split it" until it's subatomic.)

    25. You mist up a little over Twins hometown hero Joe Mauer flying home to the Twin Cities for the birth of his twins.
