There's a city in California called Van Nuys (pronounced like van eyes) and I very often hear it pronounced as it looks spelled (Van Newies).

    Yeah I live in California and there's a million cities that are not pronounced the way they are spelled. It's like California has to be unique and everything. I live near a city called Lodi. (Low die) And another called ione (I own uh) then there's my favorite, Los Banos which is ABSOLUTELY NOT SPANISH FOR TOILET! IT IS LOS BANE OHS!! Lol, it's actually cool how different regions will mutilate similar words based on who the fuck knows what

    Oh shit nice. I see your shit here all the time, that's awesome. Since you're from the area I live in Auburn. Even up here it's too fucking hot right now! My ac went out Thursday and as I'm sure you know that was perfect timing... Bout to take my ass to Tahoe if it doesn't get fixed soon and sleep in a hammock I swear.

    Edit I realize Auburn isn't close per se but I moved here recently from rancho Cordova which is actually pronounced as it should be lol

    Big oof. Shit was pretty nice and then suddenly jumps to triple digits. I'm just glad my apartment has a pool. Walking my dogs the last couple days, I can practically feel my brain steaming inside my skull.

    Right, my poor dog thinks we hate her all of a sudden because we walk every night but for the last 2 days with no ac we won't even let her in our laps less yet go walk. Fortunately AC gets here tomorrow morning. 107° instantly after months of awesome weather is brutal. No time to acclimate, fuck you, you fucked the planet, deal with it.

    Reminds me of that movie They Live... Mother nature's a bitch, and she's in heat

    That movie is so great. Just shitty tag line after tag line delivered by America's most prestigious thespian, Roddy Piper.
