People who live outside of California are bemused by what goes on in this state.  Everyone Snickers when they hear another Nutrageous story.  Consider the recall election.  Whether you think our current governor is a milquetoast or a Milk Dud, we can now choose Twix a Big Hunk and an assortment of other candy dates.  The only thing missing is S'more Names on the ballot, Willie Brownie for instance.  Some people predict a Rocky Road ahead, but for us, it's a stroll down 5th Avenue.

Sure, we have earthquakes, but whether it's just a Tootsie Roll or one of the Whoppers, we survive.  Maybe you can't afford to own a house even if you make 100 Grand.  But more people are feeling good, since we legalized medical mocha-latte.  And where else can you spend time Nestle'd in the redwoods?  If you live here, U-NO that California is Non Pariel.
