Don't forget the border town mentality.

Has anyone out of state seen those?
Is it something like good cheese come from happy cows and happy cows come from California? If this is it, then I've seen it.
Yeah, those are how most of the cheese commercials go, but there have been a couple without the cow.

In LA County, I see a lot of Valley girl/Surfer dude accents. Valley girls are usually in West LA or in any major shopping area, and Surfer dude accents are found in major beach communities (though not so much in Santa Monica).

You can't forget the ghetto accent. That's all I hear at school. Half of the students there end every sentence with "dawg" and have the vocabulary of a five year old. I only hear the valley girls in La Canada (which is a rich town) or in the shopping malls, where they prey on shallow men.

"Dawg"? That was ten years ago, I thought it was "a'ight holla at a nigga!" these days. The surfer thing reminds me of the mid 80's. When I hear people say "dude, like totally!" I think of when I was a kid growing up in the 80's. Rad need to come back tho. The "omg liek totally ashley" thing is the way most preteen to late teen and early twenties affluent suburban girls talk in California.

I can't wait til the words holocaust, tumbleweeds, slutty, and Lincoln's Top Hat become big American youth slang terms.

There's still a sizeable population down here that say "dawg" or "homie" (not so much homie though)

That's for damn sure. People seem more.... I don't know... Sane in SD.

And yes. I have heard "Dawg" many a time. Bling-Bling was in for a while though I haven't heard it widely used for a while now.

...Thank. God.

Hella is rare around here. So are surfer accents (I've only heard about 3 people with those) and valley girl accents are mild. Like, you know is used alot though.

I actually LIKE Arnold as a governor. In adition to being a sinical bugger I am also a Democrat so I expected to hate him. However he's had more GOOD ideas in his miniascule time as govenor than I think I've heard from all the other CA politicians combined!

Fun fact! Poeple in California, minus the berkley area, are actualy moderate! We are just represented by looney left wingers (again, coming from a Democrat). Can I hear you say voting rights for 14 year olds? Halelujia!

I will say one nice thing about California though. The weather is gre-

*Looks outside*

Never mind.

And yes. Those where the EXACT cheese ads I was talking about. What about the dairy ads. Have you seen those? You know. With the talking cows I believe?

If San Diego is sane, then LA must be home of the insane. We are the home of the traffic, bad drivers, and stupid education system.

On the radio this morning, I heard an actual 911 call by a woman at a Carl's Jr. who wanted the cops to come and get the people to make her Bacon Cheeseburger right. Only in LA, I guess.

Actually, it makes sense that Ahnold would be a pretty good governor. He hasn't been making a career of it, so he's not knee deep in corruption and falsehoods like a lot of politicians seem to be, and he's a pretty well-known figure without campaigns, so he can probably both get more people to vote for him and get away with plans and things that other politicians wouldn't think of or ever dare to try.

I'm not one for the republican agenda orany form of conservatism(not a big leftist either), but I *love* Arnold as governor. He actually smiles, seems friendly, ad I was a fan of him two decades ago. So yeah, we got the biggest action movie star as governor, and beeeeyoutiful weather:) (looks outside, yep, nice and sunny!)

The Neko · Post by **The Neko** » Fri Mar 25, 2005 3:33 pm

I've been really happy with Arnold as governor. He just tends to make more sense than anyone else. He's the most moderate candidate I've seen so far, which suits my beliefs fairly well.

Well yeah, Arnold is doing a decent job. I don't really like the measures he's doing with the whole patient to nurse ratio (even with all of SoCal's emergency rooms closing)

Crazy Chris · Post by **Crazy Chris** » Fri Mar 25, 2005 8:40 pm

So Arnold isn't intersted enough in most of the issues to be bribed or pursuaded either way. That might be the best we can get.

Hehe...

Actually, I only go to school in San Jose.

I'm a native San Franciscan. I should mention I'm a real San Franciscan (actually living in the city), not one of those Marin or Daly City wannabes.

That was my instinct as well, but I see where it's going as it's not just a little amount of money hospitals are loosing. It's ALOT. But I'm not an insider so I have no idea what the figgures are. So on that one I may just end up withholding my vote. Yes, some people should NOT vote on some things.

I've been going to SF so regularly every week for ages, I feel like I live there. Only problem is I want to punch those indie hipster emo thrift store idiots and mimes in the face:)
