All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, or animal.

or in my case, coal.

You spent a good deal of your high school nights hanging out at DQ.

LOL. too true. we don't have one back home, but the folks would take us to the one in Sparta or Coulterville once in a while for ice cream treats, and we used to go there a lot for free ice cream when I was in Royal Rangers at the penticostal church.

"Vacation" means going to Six Flags.

more like "damp, dark caves, and a motel with a pool."

You pronounce the invisible "R" in the word wash.

or know people who do, not all of them necessarily illinois residents

You think Chicago is a completely different state from Illinois.

dingdingding!!

You know the answer to the question, "Is this Heaven?"

My parents say 'warsh'. It's not just limited to IL. Or maybe the person who wrote this figured that it applied to every Midwestern state when it really doesn't.
