southsider2k5 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 1. Your coworker has eight 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but you do have to have $$, which many of them don't have. You should see the small villages that have erupted outside Home Depots out here. And they just expanded the Orange line, so I guess someoe's riding it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats typically where you can get day laborers (at least in OC, you have a lot of places as designated day laborer pick up points; often times it happens to be near a Home Depot). QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jan 19, 2007 -> 04:51 PM) You know you're in Cali when you get to the toll and the cost for 2 axels is 12 dollars. I should point out that toll roads are almost completely non-existent here. Albeit, if you are in San Fran there is a toll road and there is a toll road in South Orange County that runs through to the inland empire (Riverside) but you can take free optoins if you like (Traffic can just blow on them if you are going to riverside from South OC or vice versa).

Drew Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 ...you can buy a bottle of Stag's Leap Cabernet at a gas station. ...your favorite Mexican eatery has wheels. ...you spend 10 minutes getting somewhere and 90 getting out of the parking lot. ...any food item with the word 'California' means 'with avocado.' ...you have a prescription to buy pot legally.
