you might be a North Idahoan if:

  • 1. You have divorced at least one first cousin or sister/brother.
  • 2. You have illegally jumper wired power from a Kootenai Electric powerline to your trailer or shabbin (shack/cabin hybrid)
  • 3. You drive, or have the rusting hulk on cinder blocks, of the official Car-Truck of North Idaho (1980s Subaru Brats)
  • 4. You shoot wolves except the 7 or 8 wolf hybrids you keep as pets, unless they get into the chickens and peacocks.
  • 5. You still believe in the tooth fairy because your kids leave casino tokens (or lotto tickets) under your pillow whenever you lose a “big” permanent tooth
  • 6. You’ve greatly improved your trout fishing acumen since your Uncle-Sister from Oklahoma taught you how to make lye bombs for beaver ponds.
  • 7. You live where all the kids in your trailer park/polygamous compound with the misshapen squash-like heads, patches of greasy rodent-like bright ginger hair, third eyeballs in the middle of their bulbous and heavily capillaried foreheads, can start fires simply by staring at flammable objects and rocking back and forth and moaning, while also peering deep into your darkest subconscious secrets causing you to be paralyzed with fear and despair - are all called “God’s Special Sparky Angels” by their families and neighbors and are given all the albino kittens born to the feral cats in the surrounding scabby pine forest to play with.
  • 8. You pick huckleberries with brush cutters and machetes. .
  • 9. You define “poaching” as a funny way to cook them eggs.
  • 10. You home school your kids and every day is all day recess in the woods!

Feel free to add to the list …
