Hey i got bored
check this out I laughed so hard! (the ones with dashes are my comments)
You Know You're From LA When...
You're driving on the 101 and see a clear cut definition of where the smog begins and ends
-So true-
You go to a karaoke bar and battle with seven year old divas-in-training who are trying to steal your thunder
-Surprisingly that's never happened to me but I wouldn't be surprised if it did. Also, i've never gone into a karaoke bar-
You're sitting in traffic for at least an hour at any given part of the day
-Usually on the way to temple-
You go to the beach and see that real lifeguards actually do look like the lifeguards from Baywatch
-Well, i've never watched baywatch-
You see purple and gold and the word "Threepeat" on every corner
-what?-
You eat a different ethnic food for every meal
-It could happen-
You look around at the nice cars around you during traffic, thinking it'll be your favorite Laker or WB star.
-It also could happen-
You make a conscious choice to watch Jay Leno over David Letterman
-NO WAY WOULD I CHOOSE LENO OVER LETTERMAN-
You know it's best not to be on the 405 at 4:05 pm.
-You should never get on the 405
Getting anywhere from point A to point B, no matter what the distance, takes about "twenty minutes".
-No it takes longer-
You know what neighborhood someone lives in by the degree of damage incurred during the riots.
You've inadvertently learned Spanish.
-Well.... yeah-
You've got to bring the cat/plants in when it drops to 55 degrees.
-Well how could anything survive in that weather?-
In the "winter", you can go to the beach and ski at Big Bear on the same day.
-I know people who've done it-
You've bumped into a celebrity at El Pollo Loco.
-not yet-
You know what "sigalert", "PCH", and "the five" mean.
-Wait, there are people who DON'T?!?
If your destination is more than 5 minutes away on foot, you're definitely driving.
You can't fall asleep without the lull of a helicopter flying overhead.
-Yup-
When tourists ask where they can get souvenirs, you direct them to Venice Beach.
-Actually I have-
You've trespassed through private property to get to the "Hollywood" sign.
-Probably
You've partied in Tijuana at least once.
-No, but I plan to-
You know Hollywood has a "lake".
-It does?-
You don't stop at a STOP sign, you do a California Roll.
-I don't drive but my brother and do California rolls.
You've lost your car in the Century City Shopping Center parking lot.
-Actually I don't go to CC too often.
You've ever bought oranges, flowers, cherries or peanuts on a freeway off-ramp.
-Almost. I wouldnt be surprised if I did-
You think that Venice is a beach.
-Isn't it?-
You drive next to a Rolls Royce and don't notice.
-Well, I'm too busy staring at the Bentley
You've never listened to NPR.
-I wish i didn't. My mom does-
Calling your neighbors requires knowing their area code.
-That one's just plain mean.-
You have a favorite Thai restaurant.
-I used to but then it got robbed while we were in it so we don't go there anymore.-
You think Johnnny Rocket's is an accurate depiction of a diner.
-It's not?-
You think Manhattan is a beach.
-What else would Manhattan Beach be?-
You eat pineapple on pizza.
-Yeah it's pretty good-
You've been to Disneyland more times than Downtown.
-No way downtown is so much awesomer than disneyland
You classify new people you meet by their Area Code. An "818" would never date a "562" and anyone from "323" or "213" is ghetto/second class. Best area code: "310."
-Hey I live in 323-
You know that if you drive two miles in any direction you will find a McDonald's or a Starbucks.
-no, it's less-
Everyone you know has 3+ phone numbers. Home, Office, mobile, pager, two-way, voicemail.....
It is not unusual for your waitress at a restaurant to have blue streaked hair, a dragon tattoo and tounge piercing.
-of course I wouldn't trust any other waitress-
You are awakened in the middle of the night by a moderate earthquake. Your reply: "That ain't even a 5-pointer" and go back to sleep.
You live 10 miles from work. It takes you 60 minutes to get home.
Walking out of Jamba Juice, you see that a movie is being shot on-location across the street.
-All the time-
You know what In N Out is and feel bad for all the other states because they don't have any.
-sniff-
You know who the tinsel underwear dude in Venice Beach is.
-and the guy who wears a tuban while plaing a guitar on roller skates.
You say you live in LA when really you live in a subsection of a subsection of a subsection of southern LA.
-no i live in L.A.-
The guy at 8:30 in the morning at Starbucks wearing the baseball cap and sunglasses who looks like George Clooney IS George Clooney.
-That has happened so many times-
You have never met a waiter that wasn't really an "Actor."
You never go to a coffee house without a copy of a script - any script.
It's sprinkling and there's a report on every news station about "STORM WATCH '99"
You call 911 and they put you on hold.
You have to leave the big company meeting early because Billy Blanks himself is teaching the 4:30 tae-bo class.
The three hour traffic jam you just sat through wasn't caused by a horrific 9 car pile-up, but by everyone slowing to rubberneck at a lost shoe lying on the shoulder.
A nurse can look at you in all seriousness and ask, "you don’t drink or smoke, right?"
All the "cool gyms" allow pedestrians on the street a full-view of those working out. Literally, you can’t drive by Wilshire without staring into L.A. Fitness. Perhaps a new form of window shopping?
The hot seasonal party favor is a candied apple from Neiman's. The apples are called "Skinny Dippers."
The waitress asks if you'd like "carbs" in your meal.
Bars card. For real.
You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Los Angeles.
