You, sir, are absolutely correct. What this requires is a good, old, Elanthian inquisition hearing.

1. Summon forth a Bard, a Cleric, a Barbarian, and a Moon Mage to preside over the inquisition.

2. Have the Bard cast Aura of Tongues and sit with the offending speaker. If the language remains indecipherable, dismiss the Bard and continue.

3. Have the Cleric perform the rites of exorcism on the offending speaker. Should the language remain spoken, dismiss the Cleric and continue.

4. Have the Barbarian don a black mask and pull out a really big axe for shock value. Should the language remain spoken, dismiss the Barbarian and continue.

5. As the Moon Mage, you are now faced with an unrepentant rebel. Take whatever steps you deem necessary. Be prepared to justify their cruelty to the guild. Lack of imagination in the means of death is not tolerated.

If I lived in L.A. I wouldn't be proud either. But yeah, we do exist.

>>As a Hawaiian I can say we love Californian's money but wish they'd just mail it to us from California.

Only place I've ever lived long-term outside of CA was Hawaii, I went to high school there and though I love California I must admit that if the circumstances surrounding the annexation of Hawaii didn't sit so poorly with me, I'd choose to live there in an instant.

As it is, though, you can have my money just as often as I can find time to give it to you, though you will unfortunately have to suffer my presence while I do so. :P

You're lucky from I'm Oregon (Which does not, in fact, contain Seattle). Otherwise bringing up the joke that is the Thunder and the utter crap that was that entire process might bring about an argument you don't want.

The team you'd be looking for is the Portland Trailblazers. As in the rivals of the Sonics. If nothing else OKC stealing away the Sonics just increased our market share as being the ONLY NBA team in the NW now. (BTW I can't be the only one who loves the fact that the NW division now consists of Portland, OKC, Denver, Utah and Minnesota.). I think the Blazers have just a little edge over the Thunder...

As for the current rankings, you try and stay in the rankings when you had your heisman canidate QB (Dixon) tear his ACL when you were 2nd rank (2nd was cursed last year for sure) and graduate, your back up QB (Leaf) sprains his ankle the week after and also graduates, your third string QB (Costa) suffers a season ending injury in preseason practice, your fourth string QB (Kempt) transfers before the 2008 season and your best non QB goes pro as a Jr (Stewart), before the start of the 2008 season your old third string (now starting) QB AGAIN suffers a season ending injury in preseason practice, leaving your entire QB core a freshman who can't throw (Harpor), a sophmore who is injuried in the third game of the season and is out for several games (Roper), a sophmore transfer (Masoli) who's already suffered a concussion, and a freshman we were forced to give up on red shirting (Thomas).

Top that all off with catching USC after a massive upset by Oregon State? Yah. I'll take how our season has gone so far given all that.

Oh, and as for the logo I already sicked up over it as soon as they unveiled it. With all of the various potential a name like "Thunder" might offer it looks like they had a highschool competition for the logo. Yech.

I finished my undergrad in a town in SoCal (not to be confused with Cali at large) where a perchlorate spill from the 80's rendered the entire water supply not just bad by Cali standards, but teratogenic. Once housing the largest per capita number of millionaires, the town now boasts the largest per capita number of Churches, Satanists, and tattoo parlors (both groups agree on the parlors). It in and of itself, had nothing but a movie theater and a few restaurants, but was ~1 hr away from Ocean, Mountains, J-tree, Tijuana (if you drove fast), and is forever in my mind famous for somehow having Church St. and State St. intersect at least 4 times throughout town.
Yeah, I'm not sure how that works, but it does.

(Am looking to go back to Cali for grad work. Miss the absurdity of it all. Believe the US only has 5 major cities, First and foremost, my own Chicago, NYC, LA proper, Dallas, and a tossup between Seattle/Boston/Austin. Everything else is just townships

Re: Blarg 10/06/2008 09:38 AM CDT
lol @ seattle being anything close to a major town

If this WF acquisition goes through it might tilt the balance towards SF as being the major city of the west coast. Right now I'd consider it pretty even, only because of governmental mismanagement in SF. LA metro and SF bay area are the comparable regions, and I think we all know which one wins the hearts and minds of the populace. Everyone films movies in Vancouver now anyway.

All this talk about self hating Californians, or self hating anyone else, boggles my mind. Even if I was from a dump state like MA I'd still be proud of it. I have plenty of friends from NJ or LI that never want to go back there, but they'll still defend it until they die. Being from the best state in the union just makes it easier.

"When you're in California you are immersed in the Californiality, thus you do not notice it so much."

Ah, no. You notice it, especially when visiting LA.

"The popular fear in Oregon, Montana, and to a lesser extent Washington, is that they're the first targets in mind for rich Californians that like to throw their money around, buy up land, and otherwise muck up a good thing."

In Montana, it is real, not just a fear. Land prices, for example, have been driven way up, out of reach of many locals, by Californians.

>>Yeah, I'm not sure how that works, but it does.

Easy. The town you know now was really multiple towns at some point in its past. Each one had its own street-naming conventions, and then one/some/all of them grew large enough to merge. Much of the time, streets were simply laid out by numbers (1st street, 2nd street, etc) and then later renamed by local municipalities so this too can further muddy the waters as to why two streets intersect more than one time.

And then out in the boonies, sometimes the winding road doubles back. In the Metro STL area, there's actually a street that intersects with itself two or three times (Gravois, down MO State Hwy 30).

In Tennessee near Maryville you can travel North on US 129 and South on US 441 at the same time. I thought the signs were messed up but when I did a U-turn I was now heading South on 129 and North on 441.

How can you travel in opposite directions at the same time?

What the hell is going on here? I've lived in CA a majority of my life growing up in the desert then moving westward toward the coastal cities, and though I can see where people might generalize and hate on some Californians, I can't relate to most of the hate you guys are giving.

I've lived in Texas, Florida, spent quite a bit of time in Michigan and New York, and I have no intention of leaving the state (the country perhaps, but not the CA) for any prolonged period of time based on what I've seen outside of it.

CA has everything anyone would ever want just a short drive away and the longer you live here the more you realize it's got it all.
