You know you've lived in Estes long enough

Hey all, after yet another conversation this morning with yet another long-time resident who is leaving Estes Park because they can no longer tolerate folks who voluntarily arrive here (generally after failing someplace else - failed marriage, failed business, failure to properly utilize the $50 and a bus ticket provided by their local authorities) and want every blank space filled (like Estes was a canvas and they were a terrible artist), I thought it would be fun to provide one of those open-ended ice-breakers and post responses.

Fill in the blank:  You know you've lived in Estes long enough when __________

Here are some possible responses from my own recent experience:

You know you've lived in Estes long enough when Frank Lancaster, unable to avoid you in a hallway, asks if you died three years ago.

You know you're lived in Estes long enough when you grow weary of being addressed as "Disney prop #3" by Greg Rosener.

You know you've lived in Estes long enough when the last remaining competent doctor is escorted from the hospital, and Bill Pinkham starts performing TURPs.

You know you've lived in Estes long enough when you would donate more money to Nick not to film another nature documentary.

You know you've lived in Estes long enough when EPIC's latest proposal is to move back onto the concrete pad at the former Park Theater Mall, because homes zoned as single-family dwelling have been replaced with buggy whip factories to help prepare for the once-a-decade Buggy Whip Festival.

I'm sure as a group we can do way better.
