1. Your co-worker has 20 body piercing and only four are visible.
2. You make over $250,000 a year and still can't afford a house.
3. You take a bus and are shocked at 2 people conversing in
English.
4. Your child's 3rd grade teacher has purple hair, a nose ring,
and is named Breeze.
5. You can't remember...is pot illegal?
6. You've been to a baby shower for the two mothers and sperm donor.
7. You have a very strong opinion about where your coffee beans are
grown and can taste the difference between Sumatran and Ethiopian!
8. You know which restaurant serves the freshest arugula.
9. You can't remember...is pot illegal?
10. A low speed pursuit will interrupt ANY TV broadcast.
11. Gas cost 50 cents per gallon more than anywhere else in the U.S.
12. A man gets on the bus in full leather regalia and crotchless
chaps. You don't even notice.
13. Unlike back home, the guy at 8:30 am at Starbucks wearing the
baseball cap and sun glasses who looks like George Clooney IS
George Clooney.
14. Your car insurance costs as much as your house payment.
15. Your hairdresser is straight, your plumber is gay, the woman who
delivers your mail is into S&M and your Mary Kay rep is a guy
in drag.
16. You can't remember...is pot illegal?
17. It's sprinkling and there's a report on every news station about
"STORM WATCH 2003."
18. You have to leave the big company meeting early because Billy

19. You pass an elementary school playground and the children are
all busy on their cell phones or checking their pagers.
20. It's sprinkling outside, so you leave for work an hour early.
21. Hey! IS Pot Illegal?
22. You AND your dog have the same therapist.

California is the only place in the world you can buy an orange that will suck you back.

Man, thats the exact opposite of here in Minnesota. It's so boring around here. Not to say that that stuff is enjoyed in California.

Here in Montana we have a little saying:

Californians, in Montana we have the Freemen and the Unibomber, sub zero blizzards, 100 degree heat, and wild animals. MONTANA SUCKS!!!!!
Now go home and tell all of your friends.

Man you guys are a little rough on those folks on the left coast aren't you? :baa: I am sure we could dig up some normal people. :stupid: I have the "Pleasure" of having that state as a birth place, no I never lived there my Dad was in the Navy. They stopped there on their way to Hawaii to let me out! So there :mad: I could have been born in Hawaii but NO! They had to stop! :evil:

Really I think they are a lot of strange people but they like it and they don't like Texas and that is fine with me. When they complain I just tell em, you don't have to live like this! :baa: Go back and have a cool breeze all year long, :baa: wake up to Mountains, Oh Yeah, you can't see em! :P :oops:

Go Arnold! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well I've lived all over the world, and to tell you the truth everwhere you go there's weirdos these days. I don't think grouping all Californians into the weird category is fair, especially to our ECC members from California. Now for anyone who has moved away from your home state to Califorinia repeat after me (while clicking your red ruby high heels together 3 times) "Theres no place like home, theres no place like home, theres no place like home"

You know you're in Cali when the air smells like fresh sunscreen.

You know you're in CA when getting your recently purchased (out of state) Elky Smogged, costs more than what you paid for the rig itself! 8O

Hmm....Someone here has to defend California! Guess that's me! :roll:

All I have to say is the the San Francisco Bay area has some of the best weather in the world. And my car can stay cleaner than your, plus I can drive mine year round. We have the best French Bread in the world! The Napa valley not only has the best wine in the world but also the landscape.
And hey, my San Francisco Giants aren't to bad this year.

We have real things to do around here. We don't have to go down to the street corner and watch the stoplight change for excitement. Bugs are not bigger then our home pets. 8O

Every other vechicle I pull up next to is not a FORD F-250.

The string thongs and mini skirts started here. 8O

Hey wait...Gas is now over $2 a gallon. :cry: Homes here are now form 400K past a Million. :cry: We need another Gov again! :cry:

But hey aren't we all glad for one thing....We all live in America! :thumbsup: :P

Well I grew up in Ca. and have been alot of places around the world, and still I love to go back home as much as posible. The entire state of Washington on the other hand sucks. The only good thing I can say about it is there is a drag strip 5 miles from my house. Even though it is only open 3 months out of the year.
