21 ways you know you're from "the ville"

Ok so I pilfered this from my friend's little bro because I thought it was hysterical. It required some updating for people "my age" but it was hysterical how much of this crap is still going on.
1. Till this day you still tell people your from the "ville" or "pville" even though you know they dont know where it is
2.You go to college and say your from Philadelphia, because describing where it is, is just too difficult, plus people always end up thinking your from Arizona.
3. You drank or got high behind ALL of the following places: the woods behind the hockey field, KYAL, PMYC, PECO, Babe Ruth, ALL OF KIMBERTON IN GENERAL.
4. You knew how/when/where you could purchase 40's by the age of 14.
5. You have robbed the King of Prussia mall for all it was worth before the age of 17
6.You know someone that is in rehab as we speak
7. You still glance at the car wash on 23 at night to see whos out there showing off their car.
8.Drunken nights end at the Val.
9. You dont understand what is happening to Bridge Street and are appalled that someone is trying to make pville classy.
10. You go to the Kimberton Fair and the Dogwood drunk.
11. You have made out with someone in the racket ball courts of the YMCA....oh you havent...ahhh awkward....
12. Thanksgiving Eve is the biggest drinking night of the year and you probably spent it at the Spectators or the Lazy Dog
13. You remember when Bonanza burnt down
14.You have seen the Blob and could care less that it was filmed down the street
15. You know better than to go to the Phoenixville Hospital's E.R. because you'd be waiting well into your 30's for help.
16. In some way or another you are related to half the town.
17. You think everyone that went to Owen J Roberts lives on a farm.
18. You struggle today with finding states, rivers and mountain ranges because in the 8th grade, when you were SUPPOSED to be learning this crap in geography, you were watching "back to the future" over and over again.... (This one was kind of funny becuase for those of us who graduated a few years earlier it was non stop Sex Pistols recordings...what was that guys name who taught - or didn't as the case may be - geography???)
19. Driving 35 through the park is not an option, even though Bambi and his extended family are waiting....plotting....
20. One word. Jamesway.
21. You vacation places like the Jersey shore every summer and EVERY time you run into some else from the ville because Phoenixville follows you EVERYWHERE.
