… you recognize the statements in this list. My favorite:
15- You can say “Norfolk” while sounding neither obscene nor incorrect.
Check it out 😉

You know that Mexican restaurants come from old Burger Kings.
You know the old Maury cheer; “We don’t smoke. We don’t drink. Norfolk. Norfolk.” (you must use the appropriate pronunciation)
I never knew that was from Maury. I first heard it almost 30 years ago as a cheer by Norfolk State cheerleaders.
We may never know the true origin, but it was used at Maury on an unofficial basis, of course, in the 1940’s.
You know what the hoola-hoop lady’s schedule is at Wards Corner.
95 is the best
I like the Cox Cable/Cox HS one, except that everyone I knew who went to Cox still snickered about it. The best cheer I remember (better than that Maury/NS one) from Frank W. Cox and it’s horrible, horrible football team went “They may beat our Falcons, but they’ll never beat our Cox.”
Actually, I heard that cheer decades ago from my grandfather who — though a good Pennsylvania Dutchman — knew how to pronounce property “Norfolk.”
“property” = “properly”
….if you have a copy holder device in your car to use while waiting in a traffic jam at the tunnel.
Don’t know if the was covered or not……
95 is certainly the most accurate on the list…right Viv?
How about a new one:
You can remember when the Kellam’s mattered.
95 is WAY off…there are PLENTY of Dems…myself included!!!!
Plus- I WISH #52 was the case, Buffett has only been here a few times to visit, and the VB amp didnt allow tailgaters so he wont be back for a concert- however many events you will hear the music of Mr Buffett!
We are the people our parents warned us about- Jimmy Buffett..
Fins Up!
Well, I see y’all had some fun with this today 😉
As for 95 – well, obviously the person who wrote the list is biased. We all know that there are TONS of Ds in Hampton Roads, including me 😀
Great list. I’ve not lived there in about 10 years but I’m there every couple of weeks. So these two I like:
45- You don’t slow down in the tunnel, because it’s not a big deal. Stupid out-of-towners.
58- You can leave town for years at a time to find the same sections of road still under construction.
