Californians

So as not to be outdone by all the redneck, hillbilly, and Texan jokes, somebody had to come up with this, 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 at 8:30 am at Starbucks 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 cells or pagers.

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.

    You must be a newbie. You still remember the real world.
     
    BTW that could be George Clooney's stand-in...Jody Foster's fooled a whole bunch of us one time.
     
    "Speak Mexican?" I hate it when that idiot tries to interact...

  • MsBradford07 said on Oct 28, 2009....
    I am going out there in the summer to start school.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 28, 2009....
    MsB - well, you'll have to send me a PM and let me know when you arrive.  I live about 20 miles from the city and would love to buy you a cup of coffee and chat face to face.
  • MsBradford07 said on Oct 28, 2009....
    I sure will.
  • mOOn_platOOn said on Oct 28, 2009....

    O

    k, see, this is how it is here - I walk out and go to lunch over at Farmer's Market and there's Carson Daly taping something for his show.

    You know you're in L.A. when you turn on the TV and see your shopping center, your route to work, the streets you walk on and the beaches you go to in every sitcom, drama, cop show, movie and soap opera you watch.

    Do other parts of the country get TMZ? I swear I'm tripping over these guys all the time.

     

    PS > did you get blown away by yesterday?

    O

  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 28, 2009....
    moon - I'm at the other end of the state, but we do trip across Robin Williams, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sharon Stone, etc. now and then.  Not paparazzi though, thank goodness!  I scurried home yesterday and stayed planted.  It was very very windy.
  • queenparanoia said on Oct 30, 2009....
    i thought pot was legal on caifornia...
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 30, 2009....
    queenie - sort of.  You can get a medical prescription for it, but otherwise it's illegal.   Not that it stops people much.
  • one_wired_kitty said on Oct 31, 2009....
    UI - LOL ... I lived in Napa for 10 years :p
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 31, 2009....
    OWK - so you know then .... :)

    I was pulled over two years ago (in California) for expired registration. The cop found my little pipe and a small amount of pot (no idea how that happened!) and this was after asking me, "Is there anything illegal in the car?" He gave it back to me before he left, saying-"I'll let you keep your little municipal (sic) marijuana." And this was CHP.

    moon - you lucked out!  most would have at least given you a summons and kept the stuff.
