Dear Old Message Board Friends....
My favorite Starbuck's Supervisor read this to us at Starbuck's the other night...and I had him send it to me, so I could send it to you guys.
Now for you Maplewoodians...East Coasters....wanna add to the list????
You know you are from California when............
1. Your coworker has 8 body piercings and none are visible.
2. You make over $300,000 and still can't afford a house.
3. You take a bus and are shocked at two people carrying on a conversation in English.
4. Your child's 3rd-grade teacher has purple hair, a nose ring, and is named Breeze.
5. You can't remember...is pot illegal?
6. You've been to a baby shower that has two mothers and a sperm donor.
7. You have a very strong opinion about where your coffee beans are grown and can taste the difference between Sumatran and Ethiopian.
8. You know which restaurant serves the freshest arugula.
9. You can't remember.....is pot illegal?
10. A really great parking space can totally move you to tears.
11. A low speed police pursuit will interrupt ANY TV broadcast.
12. Gas costs $1.00 per gallon more than anywhere else in the U.S.
13. A man gets on the bus in full leather regalia and crotchless chaps...and you don't even notice.
14. Unlike back home, the guy at 8:30 am at Starbucks wearing the baseball cap and sunglasses who looks like George Clooney IS George Clooney.
15. Your car insurance costs as much as your house payment.
16. Your hairdresser is straight, your plumber is gay, the woman who delivers your mail is into S & M and your Mary Kay rep is a guy in drag.
17. You can't remember...is pot illegal?
18. It's barely sprinkling rain and there's a report on every news station about "STORM WATCH 2000 !!!."
19. You have to leave the big company meeting early because Billy Blanks himself is teaching the 4:00 PM Tae Bo class.
20. You pass an elementary school playground and the children are all busy with their cell phones or pagers.
21. It's barely sprinkling rain outside, so you leave for work an hour early to avoid all the weather-related accidents.
22. Hey!!!! Is Pot Illegal????
23. Both you AND your dog have therapists.
24. Hey!!!! I think it's legal !!!
________________________________________
somehow #25 should be.....
25. The fine for a joint is 25.00 and a cigarette 500.00.......
Enjoy.
Love,
Al
Ps) Thought I'd remind y'all just how silly we are out here in the land of fruits an' nuts...and add a note of levity to the board...as usual.

You know you're in MSO when;
There are more people from Park Slope in the neighborhood than from MSO.
Your complaints can't be heard over your neighbors complaints.
Your kids go to a good school, but it is not good enough.
Your property is overtaxed, your neighbors isn't.
Your glad your neighbors house just listed/sold for so much more than it was re-evaluated, and your mad that the re-evaluations are so high.
You spend time on this board instead of having fun. |

Nicely done, Pcg. I love a good laugh in the middle of the night! Oops, did I wake the kid?!
Here's a couple more:
You know you're in MSO when: east and west no longer mean the coasts.
You start worrying about the screen-names of your friends from around town because you're not sure who exactly you just blasted off the "board."
You take a distance learning course in property assessment on Channel 35.
You are grateful for the divine interventions of Father Dave but you worry he'll assign you three days of silence if he reads your last post.
You think spending time on this board at 3 A.M. IS fun!
