[Bertha Venation]

10. "THE" OC?

NSMA, what is "THE" OC? I grew up there. Lived there much of my adult life too.

When did it become "THE" OC? Do I have to go and barf on the so-called "writers" of Fox TV shows for this little bit of idiocy?

Now, rant over: Where exactly are you behind the Orange Curtain?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

21. I was just joking. I usually affectionately refer to it as

John Birch territory..my neighborhood....well...here's a hint....it's the happiest neighborhood on earth...especially at 9:30 every night when it sounds like bombs are dropping in my backyard!

33. Listen, Bud I've traveled every road in this here land

I was totin' my pack
Along the dusty Winnemucca road
When along came a semi
With a high and canvas covered load
"If you're going to Winnemucca, Mack
With me you can ride."
So I climbed into the cab
And then I settled down inside
He asked me if I'd seen a road
With so much dust and sand
And I said,

"Listen, Bud I've traveled every road in this here land."

(Chorus)
I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
'Cross the deserts bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel, I've had my share, man
I've been every- where.

Been to Reno, Chicago, Fargo, Minnesota,
Buffalo, Toronto, Winslow, Sarasota,
Wichita, Tulsa, Ottawa, Oklahoma,
Tampa, Panama, Mattawa, La Paloma,
Bangor, Baltimore, Salvador, Amarillo,
Tocopilla, Barranquilla, and Padilla, I'm a killer.
I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
'Cross the deserts bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel, I've had my share, man
I've been every- where.

Boston, Charleston, Dayton, Louisiana,
Washington, Houston, Kingston, Texarkana,
Monterey, Ferriday, Santa Fe, Tallapoosa
Glen Rock, Black Rock, Little Rock, Oskaloosa,
Tennessee, Hennessey, Chicopee, Spirit Lake,
Grand Lake, Devil's Lake, Crater Lake, for Pete's sake;

I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
'Cross the deserts bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel, I've had my share, man
I've been every- where.

Louisville, Nashville, Knoxville, Ombabika,
Shefferville, Jacksonville, Waterville, Costa Rica,
Pittsfield, Springfield, Bakersfield, Shreveport,
Hackensack, Cadillac, Fond Du Lac, Davenport,
Idaho, Jellicoe, Argentina, Diamontina,
Pasadena, Catalina, see what I mean, sir;

< D> I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
'Cross the deserts bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel, I've had my share, man
I've been every- where.

Pittsburgh, Parkersburg, Gravellburg, Colorado,
Ellensburg, Rexburg, Vicksburg, Eldorado,
Larrimore, Atmore, Haverstraw, Chattanika,
Chaska, Nebraska, Alaska, Opelika,
Baraboo, Waterloo, Kalamazoo, Kansas City,
Sioux City, Cedar City, Dodge City, what a pity;

I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
'Cross the deserts bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel, I've had my share, man

"I know some place you haven't been."
I've been every- where."

36. Looks like all the cool people are up here with the City by the Bay

:hi:

[slackdude]

37. Rightwingers reaction to San Francisco...

Every time I'm on some message board duking it out with the right wing trash, somebody innevitably "rebuts" my points with something to the effect of "who cares what you San Francisco anti-American faggots have to say." The utter contempt that these people have for this city and the bile it causes them to spew about it almost makes the high cost of living here worth it.

[maveric]

38. San Diego

Its freeperland and expensive but its still a beautiful city with the best climate in the lower 48.

[mulsh]

42. Southern CA - West L.A to be exact

I love it here because it's soooo centrally located. I work in OC, have friends in Long Beach and the valley. I can't go to so many places for a weekend get-away: Santa Barbara, San Diego, Big Bear, the list goes on. I'm a transplated Texan and my motto is (I heard it once so I can't give myself credit for making it up): Texan by birth;Californian by choice. However, I must admit that I absolutely LOVE the Bay Area!
