36. You end every description of what's in your garden with "patch."
"That's my tater patch, that's my corn patch, that's my tomato patch...."

37. When you leave family or friends, you tell them you have to get back to the "homestead."

38.  You talk about Rube Dugans, Red Flanders, the Wilson family, and Doc Harris as if they are your best friends.

39.  You know the name of the streets in the City.

40.  You don't always stop to see every detail, but you notice subtle changes each visit.

41.  You can identify members of Pure Heart, Sons of the Silver Dollar, the Homestead Pickers, the Time Machine Band, and Cajun Connection by name.

42.  You can recite the set list of GAC Hot Country Nights in your sleep.

43.  You go to certain performances of certain shows because you know which performers rotate their roles and when.

44.  You could construct an accurate timeline of all the shows ever produced in house since the park opened 50 years ago.

46.  When you see people getting ready to cross the street you just can't resist yelling out, "You folks over there by the fence please stay behind the white line!"

47.  Whenever you see somebody on the street wearing bib overalls and a floppy hat you go up to them and ask, "What's your character's name?"

48.  When you pay for your dinner in a restaurant you just naturally pull out your season pass and show the clerk for your discount. 

49.  Every T-shirt in your drawer seems to have the SDC logo on it somewhere.

50.  When you get on an elevator you tell everybody else in the car, "Please keep your hands and feet in the car at all times and please place your cell phones, hats, cameras and personal items in the boxes.  Remember cameras and cell phones are not allowed on this ride."

51.  You think the way out of any place is to go uphill.

56.  In times of trouble, you can MacGyver an explosive device out of a wicker basket, some taffy,  wood shavings and lye soap.  (hey, you've been paying attention to things other than just the rides!)

59. Your family thinks about having you thrown in the looney bin when you refer to your neighborhood as SDC's sister city, "Copper Quarter Town."

60. You install an outhouse on the edge of your pool to tilt and swing open when people swim by it.

64. You mortgage the house, sell stocks and get a loan using your cars for collateral (sp) so you can buy out Home Depot's lumber to build your kids an exact replica of the world's largest treehouse.

65. You fill out credit card and job applications with "Silver Dollar City, Missouri" as your residence.
