no one from california calls it "cali." only people who aren't from california call it that, and yes, it's insulting.

southern california thinks it's better than northern california and northern california thinks it's better than southern california. (It's on account of all the high brow culture. Remember the name Barbary Coast? They get drunk and carry on just like we Southern Californians do, so what's the bazunder?)

in-n-out burgers are hands down the absolute best burger anyone will ever eat. AMEN!

everything is "green," "eco-friendly," "organic," "made from natural/recylced products," "sugar free," "no-carb," "free range," and "compostable."

it's not unusual for your waiters, baristas, and even your child's teachers to have tattoos, facial piercings, and pink hair. (You forgot: have been in a Verizon commercial or two.)

snowboarding and surfing are possible in the same day. (So is Armani Exchange and Wal-Mart.)

the first sight of rain fall causes 3 hour traffic jams on all freeways in every direction. (...and most of them still cannot drive in inclement weather!)

you have seen several celebrities in person (and without make up). (Many of whom ask if you have a cigarette or can they have a glass of your wine?)

you have seen commercials, movies, or tv shows being filmed.

you or someone you know has been to a same sex wedding or baby shower with a sperm/egg donor.

Smoked pot and did cocaine with Christian Bale (Batman) at a family member's apartment.

Trader Joe's is a REAL grocery store. LOL :biggrin1: I go for the Orchids. Seriously.

That sounds a lot like Austin, actually. And Whole Foods owns Trader Joe's. :biggrin1:

Except the Northern Californians are correct in thinking so, and the Southern Californians are deluded. ( proof? San Francisco vs LA is like Civilization compared to Anarchy... and that is from a guy born in the Bay Area, Who has Lived in San Diego for 25 years. )

Only if you don't count Nessy Burger... which is in Bonsal, in Southern California



Another thing about California... if you move here from elsewhere, you will note that all the documents you have to fill out for your kids' schools, health clinics, soccer team, scout troop, all have a special box to check if the kid's parents are still married.

OMG this is so true. It's like all our driving sense goes out the car window when it starts to sprinkle even a little bit.

The worst traffic in California- hands down Orange County in my experience.
