Ten Things About You

[frankenstein73]

I pictured this in my head as i read your post, lol!

Pulp Fiction Coffee

[Count_Zirock]

Of course, the most expensive coffee in the world, kopi luwak, literally is poop! Coffee cherries are eaten by the Asian Palm Civet, and the seeds (beans) inside pass through the animals' digestive tracts. The beans are then picked out of the droppings, washed, and dried. It's said this process produces the smoothest, least bitter coffee known to man. And, I firmly believe, it provides unceasing laughter for the Asian Palm Civets. "Hey, Artie, you know what those hairless apes do with our poop? You ain't gonna believe this, even after I tell ya!"

It's important to get the right amount of coffee to water when brewing it. I used to really love Kona coffee and never understood all the fuss over Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee ... I'm fine with Maxwell house and it's at good price point too.

Another thing ... I don't understand why people 'need' to get drunk to enjoy sports, music or anything else.

I don't prefer Texas, or Florida...but didn't mind CA. I think my smart mouth would get me in a lot of trouble with Texans. I probably wouldn't make it out of that state.

California is too hot, and has too many non-monster crazies (whole earth types etc.) and self-involved movie star People magazine types.

Ooooooh! I would go to California in a heartbeat! I've only been twice, but I love that beautiful place!   
Poop coffee? Wow. I'd try it if it were on ice....and free!

[Flower]

My friend has a dog that whines and begs her for coffee .. she can't have a cup without him whimpering ...

Yes, but you're an admitted weather wimp.

California, the place that invented race riots (Watts), Crips, Bloods, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. Granted, California also gave the world Ed "Big Daddy" Roth and the Doors, but what good has come out of the place since 1968?

Hep, those are some pretty funny generalities.
 
California did not invent race riots--it merely had big ones.  There were plenty of prior race riots, including two in your neck of the woods.  The Anti-Greek riots (1918) and The Christie Pitts riot (1933) were in Toronto.  Then there were the anti Asian riots in Vancouver (1907)  But, that's BC for you . . .

Gangs?  The Italian gangs are still pretty influential in Toronto, aren't they?  And I know there are Canadian Crips and Bloods in Toronto.
Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt? Well that's bad enough.  But Ontario exported  Jim Carrey,  Corey Haim, and Howie Mandell.  I was goung to mention Shatner--but he was from Montreal, and that's a whole other problem!

Most of what you mentioned as good and bad in California were basically products of Los Angeles. And that is just one small part of California.  Kind of like judging all of Canada after getting mugged on Younge Street.  
I lived in California for three years.  I'd Never move back. However, there are plenty of very nice places to visit, especially in the Northern half of the state. 

Just don't get me started on Wisconsin!!

No, California didn't invent the concept of race riots. California just staged a really good one to show the rest of the world how these things should be done. All the previous ones were candy ass by California standards. California in essence perfected the concept.

And I know there are Canadian Crips and Bloods in Toronto.

And that's one of the main reasons I'm so incensed with the place! They're the ones who exported the concept of Crips and Bloods to the feeble minded as far as Toronto! Half the insanity in North America originates in California. That's why it's called the land of fruits and nuts.

You've not noticed how these fellows all seem to wind up in California?

Just don't get me started on Wisconsin!!

When I think of Wisconsin I think of hundreds of lakes with monstrous man-eating pike, beachside summer resorts, blizzards, numerous small dairies with home milk delivery, really good cheddar cheese, Schlitz, Blatz, Miller High Life and Old Milwaukee beer, the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad and the Wisconsin Central Railroad, manufacturing industries and badgers. Nothing hippy dippy about any of those things.

coffee totally smells like POOP sometimes, mainly dog poop. I tell people that all the time and everyone looks at me like im crazy.....

NO WAY! You're totally right on. Dog poop. I smell coffee and SWEAR one of the dogs sh*t in the house. I spent time hunting for it!

[voodoodaul]

Okay, Ol' Wisco isn't SO bad...but seriously, it's too cold for me. It's in the 60's this week and I've been in like 2-3 shirts, two usually sweaters, and sometimes a scarf. I'm ALWAYS cold. I don't even shake hands with strangers anymore because you can only hear the word "corpse" so many times before you just start smiling and waving instead. It's mortifying.

[Hepcat]

Wisconsin cold? Don't be silly. Try Frobisher Bay. Complaining about cold in the lower 49 States is beyond wimpy.



If and when I ever retire (and I may never), I'm going to move north so that I can sneer at the sissies who seek warmer climes. Toronto isn't nearly cold enough for a tom as rugged as me.

I felt like this this morning.

[Haunted hearse]

No need to flame California.  I don't regret leaving California for North Carolina, but there are still things I love about the place.  I also wouldn't move back, but I wouldn't mind visting every couple of years.

[Hepcat]

Hmmmmm. Alright then. Let me start a list of what I like about California:

1. Jack in the Box Restaurants

2. Fat Burger Restaurants

3. Oakland Raiders

4. Oakland Athletics

5. San Francisco Giants

6. Southern Pacific Railroad

7. Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway

Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, Pete Millar, the Doors, Big Brother & the Holding Company, surfing, Frankie Avalon, Annette Funicello and beach movies, but like I say all these things were  in the distant past.

Any other suggestions?
