• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

You know you're in California if.....

You know you're in California if.....
  • You make over $250,000 a year and still can't afford a house.
  • You work 10 miles away, and it takes you an hour to drive there.
  • Your child's third grade teacher has purple hair, a nose ring, and is named Breeze.
  • It's sprinkling outside, so you leave for work an hour early to avoid all the weather-related accidents.
  • 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 arugala.
  • 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 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, 5 cell phones, 4 tv sets and 5 computers.
  • Everyone who lives here knows that hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and snowstorms 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.

Those are among the reasons I moved out of California the first chance I got!

Of course, he's not the first cartoon character to hold the office of Governor:

Yer ridin' down the PCH, the hot blond next to you is bobbin' the knob, the homegrown Sinsemian bud your tokin' puts yer dick in the dirt and you jest feel happy, happy, happy!

Ooops! wait aminute that was 30 years ago, it changed after I left,... or did it?

I loved livin' in CA.
I love visiting every few years.
It is such a vast and varied place and generalities cannot encompass the whole breadth and scope of that place.
It use to be a state of mind. It has changed an awful lot and I know that I could not move back there under present conditions.

My favorite place on the planet is in California.

But my heart is in Nevada, it will allways be in Northern Nevada.
