Californians...

What are you laughing at?

Californians...

Postby Vuikag » Mon Nov 12, 2007 2:18 pm

Another case of culture clash, Californians in central oregon. all these quotes are true.

1. "We'd vacation down here but it snows to much." (It was a hundred degrees out)

2. "Wheres the credit card slot on this thing" (At a gas station with original pumps, built in 1978, also Oregon is one of two states where self serve gas stations are illegal)

2.5 "Do I have to like, go inside to pay for this?"

3. "You shouldn't like, carry that knife young man or I'll call the cops on your little delinquent butt!" (Carrying knives is nothing new around here, anyways he shouldve been more concerned about the 9mm strapped under my coat)

4. "Oh my god! I saw a cougar back on the road! I think it might have been a puma though, they look so much alike!"

5. "Can people around here even read?"  

6. "Oh my god, theres so many trees like, I can't tell where the road ends and where the road starts over and where the trees are!"

7. "Where do all the girls hang out in this town?" (there are no 'hang outs', and when there are there is usually heavy drug use and someone ends up stabbed)

8. "What is this, a .50 cal?" (Californian pretending to know what a glock is)

9. "we gotta like carry these knives with us or else moose and bears might attack us!" (They were carrying three inch knives)

10. "That is a no-no thing to have!" (mulitple occasions)

11. "I'm not going down there! A Lion might attack me!"

That's all I can remember off the top of my head, I have alot more somewhere in a notebook, if you don't understand why one of these is funny just ask and I'll tell you.

Wasn't a Californian but a New York city slicker (could tell by the accent) that I sat down on a bench next to....(Outdoor Mall).  Said something about my little 3.5 inch blade pocket knife I was using to open a package.  Told her that it was legal...which it is here if the blades under 4 inches...and even got out my permit to carry a concealed weapon just to prove a point.  She seemed to be a little concerned and moved to another bench.  If she was worried about that little knife its a good thing she didn't see the Ruger .45 I had strapped to my other side ;D  

Since then I sold it...only carried it when I would go into a city anyways...never had it loaded though ;)

Country people....Givin city slickers heart attacks for well over 100 years ;D

New Jersey, that's what it was, On the other sidde of the country to!

http://content1.myyearbook.com/thumb_us ... LEdnMi.jpg

He he, this is what I looked like one year ago before I joined NJROTC (I'm so fat in this photo! look at that long hair! How did I ever get any girls that way!), Now I look like a skinhead, you can imagine the scare I give some of them! (I was traveling lightly, plus I had ran out of bullets for my Glock, one day I hope to own a Tigr Rifle, a Civillian version of the famous SVD)


It's gotten pretty bad here, we can't carry guns into any stores because they were all bought and our now run by the city folk, luckily all the old sheriffs are around, so we don't get in much trouble for carrying heaters and steel (one good thing some cool californians brought are slang terms) unless your new, crazy, or both.

Having encountered one or two of the wild, gun-slinging, knife-wielding Simviators from the State of Oregon I always make a conscious effort to avoid accidentally traveling northwards over the border from California into Oregon in my daily Sim Flights... :o...!

It certainly is a very wild State, both Flora and Fauna...and Semi-Human...;)...!

...LOL... ;D...!

It's a shame it's not possible to travel from California to Washington without encountering the dangers of  Oregon!

Knowing you as I do, the open air, a Stetson, some leg chaps... you can go the other way... to Texas!
I can't provide the horse -- maybe my CFS SPAD VII texturing will do:

Tee-Hee... ;D...!

It's a funny old do...

Chuffing around in California on my daily flights, as well as picking up the daily news from there, I sometimes, out of curiosity, have a peek at  the various local newspapers in the State or Oregon...
..and I'll tell you what..
They really are a strange breed of Folks... :o..!

I wonder where they originate from, to make them "different" from the rest of the Folks I come across in other States in the U.S... :-?...!

I can't help recalling the Film "Deliverance" whenever I think of them*... :o...!

Most of them seem a pretty wild, lawless bunch, whereas Texans have become "modernised" with interests more in Oil production and organising trips to the Moon, rather that gun fights at the OK Corral early on a Tuesday morning?... ::)...!

Oregon is a secretive, mountainous, densely-wooded place where a downed Pilot could easily be eaten alive by the "Oreganos"... :o...!!

...LOL... ;D...!

F...B-BPLF... 8-)...!

*  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deliverance

Maybe the Oregano's and Georgians are related?

P.S. Sorry about the cake, H...I wished you a Happy Birthday as I was devouring it...trust me...;)..!

My foster mom lived there for a couple years. Oregano, as the spice, has long been my spoof name for Oregon; here we usually call them Oregonians -- I believe Oregano (accent on the 'a') is the Spanish term. :D

...with your mouth full? Sure... "Mmmffy Mmumffay to you, too!" ::)

One of my cousins graduated from high school down there and smashed his motorcycle head first into an oncoming truck (lost the use of his legs) -- he now lives in the upper westerly part of New York state.

I live in South Carolina (moved here from Pennsylvania) and it like a whole new language :-/ :P

Paul sounds like your type of movie
a mentally-challenged hillbilly youth named Lonnie (implied as being an inbred albino in the novel, portrayed by Billy Redden in the film).

I believe that particular cousin was born in southwest Connecticut and , I believe, his first name is the Gaelic form of your nickname.

I note the sad look on your face upon encountering an undecipherable language from "Down South"....
.....(The move...Pennsylvania to South Carolina)... :o...!!

...still....the good news!...nowhere near Alabama, Mississippi, and Takes-us yet?.... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

....LOL.... ;D...!

F..... ;D...!

...the only similarity between me and Lonnie, is that I also play a 5-string Banjo... ;)...!
