Not everyone in California came from somewhere else.

Theres a few of us who were actually born here.... Okay,, a couple of us, actually.

The other guy lives in Victorville, I think.

Born & raised, baby!

Yeah, Victoville is for the people who want to come to California, but find the cost of living too high. Same goes for the IE east of the 15 freeway.

Born and Raised in wine country (Sonoma NOT Napa), never lived elsewhere, and I'd be content not to.

True. It has the same meaning I believe. We hate all outsiders.

In New Jersey, the vast majority of us do NOT say "Joisey", we do not look like the people on "Jersey Shore" or "The Sopranos". The state itself actually has some very nice areas and is NOT one huge toxic waste dump as often portrayed.
There. Done.

I could never associate a stereotype with a state that is the home of Chris Benavente, Fred Bolton (Bee Basses), David King, Dave Maize, and a bunch more drool-worthy-bass luthiers.

If anything, I might suspect a stereotype to be that everyone in the state learns this trade as a required subject in school.

This must be true... Otherwise, how did you manage to post in this thread?

Do you at least have a cool beard and/or hat?

Maybe for the residents, but the weather ones are way off base for much of the state, same as for Washington.

Me, too! LA baby.

I've been asked many times over the years where I was from before I moved to California.

I'll second gecko: We do all say "dude"
- there are really only a handful of surfers out here
- we are not all, what many would consider, "liberal." In my neck of the woods, it's actually kind of a 50/50 mix between flag wavin 'Muricans with the "dont tread on me" flag hanging on their front porch and tree hugging dirty hippies.
- we don't all put clothes on our tiny dogs. Some of us put clothes on our regular-sized dogs

there is one I get whenever I travel out of state:

I do not know Snoop Dogg.

Sorry, we really drive as bad as they say.

The only stereotype I could crush is that it is caused by the messy roads.
