For the Love of God, do all of you people live in California?

I swear, it’s now 11:15pm and I finally managed to get back on.

The way I figure it, all our Euorpean dopers have gone to bed, and the Aussies and the Kiwis are either still asleep or stumbling around looking for their morning coffee (or tea, you know how those people are).

This board has been totally jammed for the past hour. I blame you, California! It’s not quite 8:30pm there, so I’m sure you’re all browsing and posting willy-nilly.

Knock it off!!

I’ve got a crapload of great thoughts I want to share, but the board keeps timing out on me because you beach-loving sun-bunnies are hogging the server.

Take a hike.

Well, there are a few of us in Oregon, too.

Must be them damned Hawaiians.

You’re just jealous because we’re on the better coast. :smiley:

5

Actually, it’s about lunchtime on the east coast of Australia, mid-afternoon in NZ and mid morning on the west coast of Australia.

6

Hey, screw YOU! I’m sick to death of things being broadcast “Live!” to the EAST COAST. I’m tired of the east coast being the default for everything, jsut because they get there first!

Not to mention the fact that things like fat counters list weird ass East coast fast food and market products I’ve never friggin’ head of. “Sealtest”?? What kind of fucked up name is that? “Arther Treacher” Huh?

So FEH on you!

7

why yes, we ARE the center of the universe.

I thought you knew… :smiley:

8

Arthur Treacher is still around? I remember going by a few of those places around Albany years ago; I didn’t know they still existed.

Oh, how I dislike being at the toll-road of the universe…

Yeah? Well who the hell is clogging up the board between 1-2 am, California-time? I’m a night-owl, and I swear that’s the worst time to try to get on. It can’t be all you friggin New Yorkers, unless you stay up ALL NIGHT, or get up really damn early. Who’s responsible?

10

It could also be that there’s a Cecil Article up over at FARK. :eek:

11

Late breaking news! Monty agrees with Stoid yet again!

California is the Best Part of the Best Coast.

12

I’m from Hawaii, and I live in the same time zone as the Californians. Can I claim twice the responsibility?

13

blowero , the server goes down every night at 1:30 a.m. California time until 2:10 a.m. for backups. I know because I work nights (in Colorado) and must plan around the down time.

14

The East Coast always gets the news first, well, because we just do. And I have to get on first thing in the morning because that’s the only time I can get on the board, when all the West Coast guys are asleep.
It sucks, but hey, we already got the latest and greatest while you still sleep.

15

You should all do like China: one time zone, no matter where you are in the country.

16

Come ON, coast-folks, arguing over which coast is better is just silly. You’re arguing over whether the left or right piece of wood on a picture-frame is better. They’re both equally boring. The important part is the picture inside.

Fenris, in Colorado.

17

A huge amount of us live in the metro DC area. :slight_smile:

And we get the news first because we’re in the future. You see, if it’s 9 pm in California, it’s already midnight here. And you should see the rocket packs we all have! And the moving sidewalks in the malls, and the flying cars, and the cities in the sky. Mmm.

18

Ah yes, typical California attitude…only worried about television and fat grams!
::d&r:::cool:

19

Ya know, I had a perfectly good mindless rant going here. There was absolutely no good reason for you to go and inject actual facts into it.

20

As opposed to cultural references to such weird things as “Jack in the Box”, and “Carl Jr.”??

I say Feh to you, sir! Feh, indeed! :wink:

I think I saw a Treacher’s here in the DC area. Next time I drive by there I’ll pay attention.
