Bluesman. Your first impression of the housing is correct. Yep. The price for housing in the republic of California is nothing short of stupid and will continue to be so until enough people put their foot down and say, "MMMmm I don't think so." It does give me the warm and fuzzies knowing that people are waiting in line to get bent over in California (housing is only one of the way the indiginous people get screwed there) because At least they are not overcrowding my state too much. I like the elbow room, lack of traffic,lack of pollution, and lack of urban sprawl.

Good news Bluesman. I have done some research and Foound out what the new Cali drivers license looks like. Time to brush up on your Spanish and ebonics as well as calispeak dude.

Wookie Impersonator Arrested for Battery

Wookie Impersonator Arrested for Battery

Saturday, February 3, 2007

(02-03) 04:57 PST LOS ANGELES, (AP) --

A man dressed as Chewbacca was arrested after police said the street performer head-butted a tour guide operator in front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

Frederick Evan Young, 44, of Los Angeles was booked Thursday for investigation of misdemeanor battery, police Lt. Paul Vernon said.

Police said the 6-foot-4 street performer was seen arguing Thursday afternoon with a tour guide who had expressed concern the Star Wars wookie impersonator was "harassing and touching tourists" in violation of city law.

The city passed ordinances last year seeking to crack down on the colorful assortment of actors who perform outside the landmark theater. The move was prompted by complaints from tourists who said the actors were aggressive and abusive if they refused to pay for pictures.

Security guards escorted Young off theater property, but he decided to strike back and head-butted the tour guide, Vernon said.

"The lesson here is you can have the force with you," Vernon said. "You just can't use illegal force."

Young could not be reached for comment. His telephone number was unlisted.

The tour guide, Brian Sapir, told the Los Angeles Times that he asked the Chewbacca impersonator to stop harassing two young Japanese tourists when the actor exploded in anger.

"He said, 'Nobody tells this wookie what to do,'" Sapir said.

Bluesman,
California real estate can be ridiculously expensive. There is a silver lining however. You are buying at the bottom of the market while prices are relatively cheap. In a short time those prices are going nowhere but up. Your overpriced investment will appreciate at a greater rate than just about anywheres else. If and when you decide to move back to God's country you can sell, taking your ill gotten gains from the land of heathens to buy a substantial spread and live in the manner in which you could become accustomed.

Being a camp follower isn't all bad. My wife is double dipping ex-military fed. So yeah she makes more money than I do. That would change if I went back to being a "dirty, godless, scum-sucking contractor puke", oops I meant consultant! It's REALLY nice having a rich, good looking wife.

Oh, and did I mention you can be in Tahoe in an hour and a half? Skiing, gambling, etc...

I keep reading "Figmo" and keep imaging a prison camp for snacks of the non-butter cookie variety. With Fig Newtons being the most hated.

Yeah...this punk tried to harass me about a weeks ago.
He was Chewie one day and a Stormtrooper the next.

I woulda nailed his ass to the wall if I didn't have an appt. with the people from the Kodak theater.
