Oh absolutely. There are both more authentic and higher quality Chinese restaurants down here, but I admit to having a weakness for Panda Express. It takes me back to cheap takeout I loved as a kid. I can get great dim sum or Szechwan if I want that, but Panda Express is comfort food...

That's fair. I was shocked by the prices last time I went to Panda Express. I thought "I could go to Happy Wok (local mom & pop) and get two meals for the price of one here". :hmm:

Did you want to try that again in English?

OK, some of these will be LA-centric, don't nobody bust my chops about it...

You might be...
If you get periodically discounted admission to Disneyland based on your zip code...
You know were Surf City is...
You know where every place mentioned in "Surfin' USA" is...
You know what a Sig Alert is...
While watching "Dragnet" re-runs, you know that even though the streets actually exist, every intersection mentioned by Joe Friday can't be possible...
You recognize location backgrounds in various movies, TV shows, and commercials; in fact you were just by there a couple of days ago...
The word "post" has nothing to do with fences...
The word "development" has nothing to do with maturing children or a real estate project...
The phrase "craft services" has nothing to do with woodworking...
The phrase "PA" has nothing to do with voice amplification...
You know that "405" really means how fast you will be driving at rush hour on said freeway, "4 o' 5 miles an hour"...
You think nothing of wearing a quilted ski vest/jacket with cargo shorts...

Love this one as I can relate.

Every other vehicle you pass on the road has a Raiders sticker. (Or is it just Sac centric?)
Avocado is always an option on a menu. Jalapenos are also always an option.
You order your McDonalds from a Mexican, your Mexican from an African American, your Chinese from an Asian, your Pizza from a Russian and your sub or deli sandwich from a Caucasian.
You share the road with more trucks/SUVs than cars ... and they rarely go off road or are used as a work vehicle.
Your Governor is a national punch line.
