They Should Have Called It The Angelenos

My improv teacher in college said that the residents of each major city in the US usually talk about three topics.  In New York, it's the three "My's": (1) My Job, (2) My Spouse/Partner/Boyfriend/Girlfriend and (3) My Apartment.  In Chicago, it's the three B's: Beer, Bars and Bulls/Bears/Baseball (depending on the season.  And here in Los Angeles, it's the three F's: Food, Freeways and Fucking.  Imagine my surprise when SNL nailed three F's in their soap opera spoof "The Californians."

 

Having lived in Los Angeles for 13 years, this sketch definitely rings true.  While we all don't have bleach blond hair and speak like we've lost a chromosome, the amount of time we talk about having to get around this sprawling mess of a city is pretty spot on.  And the directions in the sketch are pretty accurate too.  Now, where's my wine? I need to get sober before I take Bundy to the 10 to the 110 North...
