2. This just in
George Washington zombie wanders Virginia looking for "braaaaaaaaaaaaaains".

I think the East Coast DUers would buy it. And the Souteasterners would be like "oh no! George Washington zombie!"

Also I think I need to go to bed now.

10. I don't recommend it.
They could get us back by spoiling the end of some really good cliffhanger 3 hours before it even airs on west coast television.

I think we should just gloat insufferably about how we live in a veritable paradise and they...well...don't.

12. Of course, we don't get earthquakes or recalls on this here coast.
Just blackouts and terrorist attacks.

17. I love the Olympic Peninsula!
I've only been once, but it was so memorable. I'd risk an earthquake to be on the beach at Kalaloch again.

22. Oh, balls!
East Coast this, West Coast that. There IS a huge middle part of this country, ya know. And WE just got the first Dem presidential debate here (nya-nya-nya!)

Lessee, how'd the BBC put it: "...here in this vast wasteland...," or something like that?

15. Truth is stranger than fiction
You don't even have to leave your front yard to get any freakier than the CA recall shit. I used to live there (14 yrs), so I know that for the most part, the people there aren't all completely nuts, but, to the massively uninformed, Californians appear to be the most exotic thing on the planet! Just don't vote for Arnold or any other Republican, even put Larry Flint in office (he actually might be a great governor)

So what kind of practical joke could you pull on East Coast people?? I would love to hear your ideas!! Because California is the greatest state in this country (I have been to all but Alaska). You have everything under the sun, from beaches to deserts, to mountains to cities. If you have a decent living situation (which is why I finally went back to Maine with my tail betwixt my legs..) then you are on top of the world.

18. Kick all the previous day's threads back up to the top of the list?
sort of like Groundhog's Day but I'm sure it would really piss some people off! Great April Fools Day gag though. ;)

23. I sleep three hours later than the East Coast. . .
every day -- and stay awake later each night, too! I believe my happiness is its own reward.

--Journeyman
(who's sleep is uneasy, filled as it is with images of earthquakes and the upfront assets of future Gov. Mary Carey)

27. or simply bask
in the beauty of the Pacific from Seattle to Point Loma - which is 5 miles north of the Mexican border - and enjoy our wonderful climates as well; no need to trick the East Coast DUers, we've already done that by living here in paradise, doncha think?
