You know you're from California if:
1. Your coworker has 8 body piercings and none are visible.
2. You make over $300,000 and still can't afford a house.
3. You take a bus and are shocked at two people carrying on a conversation in English.
4. Your child's 3rd-grade teacher has purple hair, a nose ring, and is named Flower.
5. You can't remember . . . is pot illegal?
6. You've been to a baby shower that has two mothers and a sperm donor.
7. You have a very strong opinion about where your coffee beans are grown, and you can
taste the difference between Sumatran and Ethiopian.
8. You can't remember . . . is pot illegal?
9. A really great parking space can totally move you to tears.
10. Gas costs $1.00 per gallon more than anywhere else in the U.S.
11. Unlike back home, the guy sitting in Starbucks at 8:30 a.m. wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses who looks like George Clooney really IS George Clooney
12. Your car insurance costs as much as your house payment.
13. You can't remember . . .. is pot illegal?
14. It's barely sprinkling rain and there's a report on every news station: "STORM WATCH."
15. You pass an elementary school playground and the children are all busy with their cell
phones or Ipods.
16. It's barely sprinkling rain outside, so you leave for work an hour early to avoid all the
weather-related accidents.
17. HEY!!!! Is pot illegal????
18. Both you AND your dog have therapists, psychics, personal trainers and cosmetic
surgeons.
19. The Terminator is your governor.
20. If you drive illegally, they take your driver's license. If you're here illegally, they want to
give you one.
I'm not sure about #18, but this is pretty spot on.

unique- I knew I always loved California.
But Texas has it's problems too, I've found. There is an old saying here from a comedian: "Get caught with an ounce of pot in Texas- twenty years; commit murder in Rhode Island- three days, no tv."

BTV - I don't know which state you're in, but either way sounds a little off the mark.ET - I know what you mean. I kept trying to deny it, but it rings too true. -

This was really really funny!! And so true too! The Storm Watch reports always seem so ridiculous to me.......but the weather people are so serious. I think because we rarely have interesting weather so they get all excited over some rain.....LOLxxoo natalie xxoo -

queen - it is interesting.nurse - and there are days I swear if they just took a water truck down the roads that people would still drive like they were in a major shower storm -
beyondtheveil said on Dec 10, 2007....
unique- I'm in Texas. That saying came from the 1982 Claus von Bulow trial where he was convicted of murdering his rich wife, then came back with a high priced lawyer with another jury and was acquitted. -

So is pot legal?
I should know, California is home and I miss it, although life is good her in Tennessee.

soleme said on Dec 11, 2007....
I did not catch my typo in time. "her" should read "here in
Tennessee".

Ha-ha-ha! Very true.
Especially about not being able to afford a house when you make bank roll. You need to be Bill Gates to buy real estate here.
And #15, I just wrote about that at my blog. Too true.
Is pot illegal? Not if you have a prescription. If you have glaucoma and you enjoy the occasional doobie, move to California.

uniquely-ironic said on Dec 11, 2007....
BTV - never underestimate the power of the dollar.soleme - whether it's legal is kind of mute here. The county I grew up in actually listed pot crops as the largest cash industry for the county one year.JBox - California real estate is pure gold. I often half joke about retiring back east so that I can afford my own house, but the joke is that it's totally true. My kids are wired up to the gills, I had to drag their sorry asses to jujitsu to make sure they got a decent amount of exersize.
