This is why I have no definable political affilitation or belief. It's why I can have the most inflamatory and caustic comic content that even Penny Arcade wouldn't touch.

You didn't sound rediculous when you were talking about the Jews. In fact, you didn't give us enough credit. We run far more than just the banks...
I have this theory actually that Hitler *must* have been gay, as I find Jewish girls(especially the geek ones) ultra secksay.

sooo many hot Jewish girls....mmmmm *drools* I have no idea why Jewish chicks get me going like no other race out there. Maybe its the glasses, nose, and high IQ.

Has anyone out of state seen those?

I haven't seen them for a long while. I think they're only a Californian thing.

Well you gotta love the sheer absurdity of California. A state where
people use the word "hella" in every other breath, where smoking is banned everywhere but the janitor's closet, and where the freaking Terminator is the governor.

I'm pretty sure hella is a norcal term. I never heard it until I went to UCLA and met a bunch of people from the bay area. Likewise, my high school friend never heard it 'till she went up to Berkeley.

Then again, maybe it's just not an LA word.

I'm disgusted that it's the fashion to carry tiny dogs in purses, and that the elite take their pets to psycologists.

Nobody says "Hella". That's only in Northern California, and maybe the Central Valley. At my school, nobody talked like a "Valley Girl", we had no "Surfer Accents", and I'm pretty sure the Governor never came to our school to eliminate all forms of life.

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).

Aw, I think you are right. I put saying the word hella on par with saying the word 'fecal masturbation'.

I go to LA and socal once a month. Except for the fact I hate how spread out everything is, the youth seem about the same as they do up here. Tho in the bay area, the big thing is to look as thin, indie hipster mod, and thrift store trendy as possible.

The only two people I have ever heard use the word "hella" are Eric Cartman and Gwen Stefoni. Neither of whom I consider trend setters.

San Diego is an anomaly for southern CA. It's a millitary town, and a biomedical community, so it has a different culture from LA.

Don't come to my school, then. They may have the nose (I'm too lazy to remember), but few of them have glasses and almost none have a, well, brag-worthy intelligence level, which is odd, but whatever.
