The Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San José. The Hollywood Wax Museum in Hollywood. Anyone on one of those walkie-talkie phones reporting their every move to someone on the other end ("Yeah, I'm in the Wax Museum." *static* "So who are you looking at?" *static* "I think it's J-Lo. But it's hot and melting, so it kinda looks like William Shatner in a tube top." *static*).

Great point, rjw!
It's healthy to let off a little steam, right? A few weeks ago I posted a partial list of places I wasn't fond of, and some people really got bent of out of shape. Others replied that they had no places they didn't like - which I found incredible...and enviable! I wish I would like everywhere I went. Personally, I think it's better to read a negative post here and there. How boring and helpful would this place be if someone asked a question about Place X and everyone replied, "Oh, I liked it", "Oh, yeah, it was fine", etc. I like to read everyone's opinions, good and bad.

Oh ellen...
"Stardate 103-25677. The transporter malfunction has sent me off to a strange, musty prison or cage of some sort. I'm paralyzed and on display in a wig and Versace dress. The Matter Reassembly parameters were especially distorted in this mishap, since I've never seen my ass this big. Not even in the third season."

Las Vegas hotels leaving their huge front doorways wide open all day in 120 degree heat, then having the nerve to add on a $3.50 per day "energy surcharge' to each room.
Car rental companies adding 40 percent in surcharges and fees to the "rental rate".
Airline security personnel opening up Grandma Moses' suitcase and pulling out the Depends for everyone in line to see.
Anyone who answers the phone with "How may I help you????"
SUV's with one occupant.

I know this is probably pretty picky, but I really hate the word "eats" when people use it to mean dining, food or restaurants, as in "good eats." It just conjures up an image of pigs at a trough to me. I know there's a whole series of guidebooks with that in the title and people use it here all the time, but it always bothers me. You get "good eats" at a diner, maybe, or a good local down-home cafe, but a 4-star restaurant shouldn't be where you get "good eats."

Ellen, you have to picture it with that faux-Shakespearean soliloquy voice that he used for the voiceovers to get the full effect.
Oh, we're having fun over on the California tour thread now!! I think the poster(s) from San José is (are) about to lose it. And that's always entertaining. Thanks for the kind words, as always. And when you are next in southern CA, yeah, we could maybe go for drinks at the Polo Lounge or something!

How about someone driving a Lincoln Navigator with a Sierra Club bumper sticker? Or a Cadillac sedan with a thick padded vinyl roof?
Fashion Police: How about a woman wearing fishnet stockings and satin hot pants in broad daylight? I see someone walking around the Santa Monica Farmers Market dressed like that every week-- could she be that confused about where Hollywood and Vine is...?!
