In NorCal... Folks get dummy, retarded, and ride the yellow bus to the sideshow getting hyphy off some yurple; scrapin' and hollerin' at some rippers, yadadamean!?
Most of you probably have no clue what the hell I just said, but hey... it's NorCal slang.

We are not norcal...we are midcal. Not north enough to be norcal, nor south enough to be socal. Sucks.

I've lived in NorCal my whole life, yet don't now the exact broundry. :confused: So where do we draw the line to seperate the upper class from SoCal? San Francisco? Sac?

I started a thread on this with a poll once. Everybody has a different opinion.

SoCal people tend to say that NorCal begins right around Bakersfield.
NorCal people tend to say that NorCal begins right around San Jose.

Then there's the question of Central Cal.

Yeah...Bakersfield is not NorCal at all.

Though the Central Valley tends to be more closely related to those in Northern California politically and all. SoCal and the bay area are closer related than either one is to central california.

Well, I tend to favor the SF & north (staying west of the Central Valley) as the true NorCal. But then, I'm from the smack dab center of that area.

I disagree. I consider anything north of the grapevine Norcal. :p

I'm about smack in the middle of the san joaquin valley, but more towards the sierras.

Pfft...

About a year ago when I was last in SoCal, it appeared to be perfectly normal for 8 year old girls to run around in public, escorted by their parents, in full makeup, dresses with slits up the sides, and feathered boas.

That is not normal anywhere else on the freakin' planet.

That's true. Of course, Oregon does the same thing to us. :D
