Friend 1: There's this new song by those pepper guys but I don't remember it but they sing about...
Me: Red Hot Chili Peppers? California??
F1: yes that's it
Me: and please never call them the pepper guys, I know you're FROM here but still...
F1: don't act like you're not from here, you were born here.
Me: Yes but I GREW up and became aware of my greatness... in California. ;-)
F1: *rolls eyes*
Friend 2: So Leonard have you got your new car yet?
Me: You mean my used but new to me car that is taking me back to California? No, not yet. Maybe this weekend.
F2: Ok.
Friend 3: I like your Mickey's (the beer not the mouse)shirt, it's cute and fits you good...where'd you get it?
Me: California
F3: I mean, which store.
Me: Does it matter? It's in California, I assure you, you do not have that store here.
F1: If you say California one more time tonight, I'm going to cut you.
Me: Sacramento.
F1, F2, F3: *sigh*
Ok so maybe I bring it up a bit but hey, I'm excited!! Although, y'all know when I get there I'll hate it and complain about the people and the smog and the prices and the basic grunginess of living in a huge city again...but I'm sure I'll adjust.
peace
How could I guess you've already started to build up a team?!
ReplyDeleteYou just need four more and in a minute you'll be playing... What exactly I don't know, but you'll be surely playing...
And that's the main thing - getting started and playing...
(Sorry. Hope you have nothing against humour...) :-)
haha. After reading that I have post a forward that came way some time ago.
ReplyDeleteI'm from California so that means...
- I'm mexican or I've dated one
- The chicks are way hotter than yours
- I cuss a lot.
- I say "like" and "fer sure" and "right on" and "dude" and "bro" and "hecka" and "hella"; and I say them often.
- I know what real cheese & avocadoes taste like.
- I don't get snowdays off because there's only snow in Mammoth, Tahoe and Big Bear.
- Summers are really hot, and winters are really cold. That's the way it is.
- I go to the Beach - not "down the shore".
- I know 65 mph really means 80+.
- When someone cuts me off, they get the horn and the finger and they accept it and give it back, because that's the California way.
- I've been to "the City" aka "Frisco" aka San Francisco and have eaten fresh clam chowder out of a sourdough bread bowl.
- The drinking age is 21 but everyone starts at 14 (legally 18 if you live close enough to the border).
- My governor can kick your governors ass.
- I can go out at midnight and wear a t-shirt and shorts.
- I might get looked at funny by locals when I'm on vacation in their state, but when they find out I'm from California I turn into a Greek GOD.
- I can get fresh and REAL Mexican food 24 hours a day.
- All the TV shows you "other" states watch get filmed here.
- We have In-N-Out (Arizona and Vegas are lucky we share that with them).
- I have the most representation in the House of Representatives, which means MY opinion means more than yours, which means I'm better than you
- All the porn you watch is made here, 'cause we fuck better and that's how it is.
- The best athletes come from here
- I'm from California and I love it, rep it!
