You know you're from Los Angeles when
Edited on Wed Mar-30-05 10:44 AM by DBoon
Your postman is working on a screenplay in his spare time

South = beaches; North = mountains

You know you've had a cold winter storm when the snow level gets below 5,000 feet

You are watching TV and you suddenly recognize one of your neighbors in the commercial

You go to a movie because you know someone who worked on it. You make a game out of recognizing local landmarks in movies.

You spend more time parking than driving. Being on good terms with the parking attendant is more important than being on good terms with your boss.

Your weather report features surf conditions. Your middle aged boss shows up late for work sometimes because he was surfing

When driving, you have to watch for people making right turns from the left lane and vice versa

You visit the midwest and wonder where all the caucasians came from

Everyone you know came from somewhere else. They constantly complain that LA isn't like where they came from. Despite this, they stay.

You can have Persian food delivered

Your lawn is small enough to mow with a weed wacker

Your local chain supermarket has a great selection of fresh sushi

You know at least three swear words in Spanish

You think people from Michgan have an accent

You ignore football except when UCLA is playing USC

The local Sierra Club chapter has regular hikes to the Hollywood sign

You bicycle club has a regular ride through Brentwood they call the "Tour de O.J."

2. You know you're from LA when
you're afraid you're going to suffocate on a clear day because you don't know there's any air unless you can see it.
