So, I'm having trouble getting into the SGLA group since I'm obviously in the military.
Seeing as how I'm nowhere in my home-hemisphere, I thought up some ways to prove I'm a Cali boy.
1. Regardless of color, all soft drinks are coke. I actually got upset at a fellow soldier when I gave him a dollar to get me a coke from the coke machine and he got me a coke. I wanted Pepsi!
*side note* I hate it when you order a coke in LA and the waitress says "Is Pepsi all right?" I usually ask her if she's been in the city long.
2. The Los Angeles mindset is that the United States of America consists of Los Angeles and everything else (to include northern California) is the south. Being in the Army has only re-enforced this one.
3. My hometown is San Pedro, but if you pronounce it "San Paydro," you're obviously a foreigner or gay. (Foreigners not meaning mexicans, but non-Los Angelinos)
4. "That's gay" or "You're gay" is a viable insult.
5. All freeways are refered to by number. ie. Take the 110 to the 105, get off at Crenshaw. Tell your homies "look alive."
6. You give all directions in terms of distance, *or* if you do give directions in terms of time, you append the legalese "depending on traffic."
7. You correct foreigners when they tell you they drove to LA to go to Disneyland.
8. Fuck Texas!!!
Uh... shit. I've been gone too fucking long. More to come.

That's funny that in CA you call all "soft drinks" coke. Here in Pittsburgh we call them pop!
