    Hahaha. You should have at least limited that one to Southern Cali where LA is. :)

    I'm in Northern California, near San Francisco. No, I am not gay, I don't surf, and no it is not always sunny. & No, all the girls are not blonde with big boobs that walk around in tiny shorts or bikinis. :laugh:

    From someone in Michigan State:

    "You're from Canada? It must be cold up there."

    For those who aren't in the know: Most of Michigan state is further north than most of Southern Ontario!

    Oh dear!

    I'm from Miami.
    "Oh, you must love living on the beach! I heard it's awesome!!"
    Miami is actually a city. And Miami Beach is another. Miami has it's ghettos just like any other city.

    "Omg that's where the zombies are"
    Ok, that was like one time. And the dude was just high. No, not on bath salts. On weed. Weed here, is just that good.

    "All your teams suck"
    While I agree with most of this, we did just win a championship in basketball. Not a fan of the Miami Heat but at least not ALL the teams suck.

    "You're from MIAMI?! You must be hispanic! Tell me something in Spanish"
    Facepalm.

    And my fave:

    "Omg so, you must be related to some crazy coke dealer or something right?! Can you get us the hookup on some good blow? Or entrances to Mansion? Or club seats to the Phins?"
    No. I am not related to Tony Montana and not everyone in Miami is or was a drug dealer at some point in their life. We actually have jobs, like everyone else. And yes, I can get you into Mansion and tickets to the football games. It's called the box office and slipping the bouncer at the door a hundred dollar bill if you're ugly *kitten* can't get in on your own.

    Yes, I'm British. No, I don't know the Queen personally.

    This made me grin :bigsmile:

    Also more specifically "Naaaaarfuk (Norfolk).... do you all have webbed feet?"
    Apparently we are all inbred! Also while living in London, I get "that's in the north right?" because it is north of the M25 (the big motorway that circles London)!!

    Oh, you live in the desert? It's 115 degrees? But it's a dry heat...

    Yeah, just like turning my blow dryer on full blast in my face is a dry heat...

    115 in the desert is way better than 95 on the coast.

    I've only been to San Francisco once. (I'm from as lower AL, almost on the FL panhandle) I went there in June of last year. No one warned me it was so COLD there!! I was taken aback, it was like 100 degrees in AL, but in San Francisco, it was cold enough, my entire family had to buy a jacket. I will never be a person that makes that assumption ever again!! :happy:

    I am from Alberta, Canada; I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader, and I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber, or own a dog sled, and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada, although I'm certain they're really, really nice.

    :wink:

    I have a friend that lives in Alberta, and I finally got out to visit her last year - had a blast! I won't ask if you know her though. :laugh:

    you're from England? Do you know the Queen/Kate/William/Harry/*insert royal family person*

    You're from England? Do you live in London? Errr no. There is a whole country outside of London. One that doesn't smell and make your snot black.

    I confused the hell out of Latino's down there. They couldn't figure out where I was from because of my accent and how I look. So many inserted foot in mouth.. When they found out I was African American.. their enthusiasm died quickly... Miami is a joke, I am sorry you are stuck there... I hope you make a lot of money if not, how in the hell do you survive there? The whole Sunpass ordeal pretty much has ruined my life... I had to leave...
