When it comes to the Centennial State, there are some things that out-of-towners just don’t understand… Do you know what I’m talking about? If you do, you probably also want to scream – excuse me – I mean calmly explain the following 15 things to the rest of the country:
- We are fully aware that the traffic here sucks.
Flickr/Greg Younger It’s part weather, part terrible roads, and part nobody here (besides me) knows how to drive.
- There is a reason we’re dog people.
Flickr/Philip Miseldine Reason #1: Dogs don’t sit around plotting our untimely death…
- We stand by our men through thick and thin…
Flickr/Rocky A
- …and it sometimes pays off!
Flickr/Boemski Could this be our year? We shall see!
- The REAL cowboys aren’t in Dallas.
Flickr/Jeffrey Beall See: National Western Stock Show.
- Coats are for sissies.
Flickr/Maria Morri Unless it’s in the negatives… then you get a free pass.
- There is no shame in eating Rocky Mountain Oysters…
Flickr/Vincent Diamante
- …but plenty in voluntarily eating at Casa Bonita.
Flickr/Leslie Johnston Shame, shame, you know your name!
- Don’t take selfies with wildlife.
Flickr/Charles Hutchins If you are going to be an ignorant jerk and get close to a bear for the sole purpose of a selfie, don’t even bother coming to Colorado. Thanks.
- No other state’s Mexican food even remotely compares to ours…

- …and that’s because of this liquid gold.
Flickr/Wally Gobetz Liquid gold = Colorado green chile.
- Seriously; we could bathe in this stuff.
Flickr/Marlon E Did I just admit that out loud?
- Colorado isn’t all mountains.
Flickr/Cobber99 Welcome to the Eastern Plains!
- (And it’s a good thing because the cost of living is even higher in those beautiful mountain towns.)

- Finally - and most importantly - Colorado is by far the best state in the country!
