You live in California when . . .

[XMan]

You make over $250,000 a year and still can't afford a house.

It's sprinkling outside, so you leave for work and hour early to avoid
all the weather-related accidents.

Your child's third grade teacher has purple hair, a nose ring, and is
named Breeze.

You can't remember... is pot legal?

You've been to a baby shower for an infant who has two mothers and a
sperm donor.

You have a very strong opinion about where your coffee beans are grown,
and can taste the difference between Sumatran and Ethiopian.

You know which restaurant serves the freshest arugula.

You can't remember... is pot legal?

A really great parking space can move you to tears.

The guy in line at Starbucks, wearing the baseball cap, sunglasses, and
looks like George Clooney, IS George Clooney.

Your car insurance costs as much as your house payment.

Your hairdresser is straight, your plumber is gay, and your Mary Kay rep is
a guy in drag.

It's sprinkling out, and there's a report on every news channel about
THE STORM!"

Hey... is pot legal?

Over 85% of the cities, towns, and streets start with San, Los, El, La,
Santa, De La, or De Los.

Two overcast days in a row drive you mad.

A family of four owns six vehicles.

Everyone who lives here knows that hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and snow
storms are way worse than earthquakes, which are, after all, over almost
as soon as you realize what's happening.

Even if the store is across the street, you drive there.

Yeah, you're sure... pot is legal.

And after you really do have a storm (like this last Thurs-Fri) that dumps five inches of rain in 2 days, it gets top billing on the news for the next 5 days.

Try living in Hawaii. You get regular pictures on the news of snowed-in conditions and the constant reminder: "Lucky you live Hawaii." (Never mind the economy.)

Pot must be legal in Hawaii. It's their No. 1 cash crop.

...and my I add that God put mountains in the right place! Great post! LOL!

 

[ArkAoss]

well i guess i'll hafta make a thread about living on the east coast

 

[XMan]

I got this in an E-mail, so . . . you guys may have seen it before. I thought it was funny as hell though.

 

[Shuxclams]

Is that meant to be offensive? Why the hell does "everyone" want to move here then?

[Impact55]

Pot is Oklahoma's #1 cash crop also, well a lot of states also...

 

[gUEv]

wtf is the goddamn holdup, legalize godammit...ive probably converted 350 people or so, but i need help!

 

[The Wildcard]

Hahaha, yeaah but you still gotta love California.

 

[ltk007]

Here's a question... WHY?

 

[weinir]

you live in california if there's a danger that your electric company is gonna go broke in a month and you'll be stuck without electricity...hey thats me

 

[WoundedWallet]

Very appropriate for today.

<< Everyone who lives here knows that hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and snow storms are way worse than earthquakes, which are, after all, over almost as soon as you realize what's happening. >>

Not wanting to call mother nature's attention, I have to say that a lot more people die each year due to the extreme weather in other states than due to earthquakes in California.

And I also think that the $250K joke is not true either....

 

[Imported]

I think most of the same could be said for Florida, 'cept the one with the names of cities.

 

[Asha'man]

Hehee thats a funny one

[Raspewtin]

that was funny

I've seen that email apply to Silicon Valley as well.

It also had stuff like &quot;You know what C++, Java and HTML are but you can't code in any of them&quot;, &quot;You make 100k$ per year but still can't afford to rent your own apartment&quot;.

And just a quick note to show how incredibly expensive things are - I live in San Jose where rent is pretty damn high (not as bad as Los Gatos or Palo Alto, tho). When I first moved in, I was paying 1600$ a month for my apartment that has 3 bedrooms. Now, the studios in my complex go for 1700$ a month and the 1 bedrooms go for 1800$. This is one of the many reasons I want to run away from the Silicon Valley (that, or get a really rich girlfriend).

The California state motto is, Snow is something you visit. We have championship ski areas, but when you're tired of being wet and cold, you drive home, and it doesn't follow you.

We really do have seasons, though. We just change local produce, instead of weather. Oh yeah... Last year, winter happened on a Thursday.

I tell New Yorkers that, after five years here, they grant you nativehood if you promise never to put a &quot;W&quot; in your cwoffee or your dwog, and you remember that there is no hard &quot;G&quot; in Lwong Gisland.

What pisses me off is the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl. Somehow, they manage put our best Chamber of Commerce weather on national TV, every January 1, just when everyone else is freezing their arses off, and everyone decides they want to move here. It is getting a bit overcrowded.

 

[tweekah]

In traffic, you have one hand on the wheel, the other hand on a cell phone, a cup of coffee in your lap....etc

 

[shadowfaX]

hm... you don't live in California when you assume that alot of Californians are like the above...

 

[SackOfAllTrades]

Xerox, on your first post...so true man, so true.

 

[XMan]

Dang, Red. You do know that it's just a post of an E-mail joke I got forwarded to me, right?

You guys are taking this WAY to seriously.

 

[apoppin]

Is pot legal in Colorado?



BTW, unless I am mistaken, the Rose Parade on New Years day was conceived as a way to get Easterners to move West to California. Unfortunately, it worked too well.

 

[Shuxclams]

WTG Red. I ask again for all the inbreds, &quot;why do you want to live here?&quot;, trust me we can do without the ignorant rednecks we have quite enough here allready.
