No matter where you come from, you have both certain standards to live up to AND certain rules to live by that should go without saying. If you are new to Colorado and/or have smoked a bit too much legal kush to know what I am referring to, check out these 12 unwritten rules that every Coloradan lives by ’til death:
- Never slow down and/or stop at a yellow light.

- NOBODY beats a Dealin’ Doug deal!

- No self-respecting Coloradan would EVER cheer on the Raiders.

- Coloradans will always dip their pizza in honey…

- …order their food smothered in homemade Colorado green chile…
Flickr/Wally Gobetz Give us ALL the food smothered in green chile!
- …and enjoy their meal with one of our famous craft brews.
Flickr/David The easiest way to spot an out-of-towner? By the beer they drink!
- You never EVER drive on I-25 during rush hour.

- No…

- Yes.
Flickr/eltpics Dogs will love you unconditionally and be your best friend for life; cats will think of ways to kill you while you sleep.
- If it’s the weekend, you’re outside.
Flickr/Tyler Hitchcock Why wouldn’t you want to be? No matter the time of year, there is ALWAYS something fun to do in Colorado!
- Whenever possible, you bike or walk to work.
Flickr/Pam Broviak You care about the environment and don’t mind leaving your Subaru in the garage if it means saving the planet!
- Finally (and most importantly), never EVER eat at Casa Bonita.
