Every city has their one niche that seems weird to everyone else... Now, I know what you're thinking: "Well, yeah; everyone except Denver," right? Actually, we in Denver have our own little traditions and habits that seem strange from the outside, including these 13 things:
1.) Denverites will voluntarily eat deep fried cow you-know-whats...
They are called Rocky Mountain Oysters and they pair well with a cool cup of cocktail (no pun intended) sauce.
2.) ...and it has nothing to do with the fact that weed is legal here.
Well, for the most part, anyway.
3.) Even in the worst of times, we stand by our men.
This is our year, Rox... I can feel it!
4.) We proudly wear flip flops...
5.) ...and a light jacket (if we must) in freezing temperatures.
Snow boots and coats? We don't need no stinkin' snow boots and coats!
6.) A true Denverite will smother everything in green chile...
Burritos, burgers, fries, birthday cake... you name it, we smother it.
7.) ...and will dip their pizza in honey.
Mmm... thick and soft Beau Jo's crust with honey...
8.) Everyone drives the same exact Subaru.
Your next door neighbor, 4th grade teacher, former weed dealer, guy who runs the dispensary you buy from now...
9.) We voluntarily torture ourselves...
Being active = life.
10.) ...and don't mind being outside in the worst of conditions.
...in our flip flops and light jacket, of course.
11.) East and west? More like "towards the mountains" and "away from the mountains."
Hey, it's how we learned our directions, okay?!
12.) Finally, only at Denver's airport will you be greeted by a demonic blue horse...
He sees you when your sleeping, he knows when you're awake, and knows where you're flying to...
13.) ...and potential Nazi runways and secret underground facilities.
Google "Denver International Airport conspiracies"... I dare you!
