when I hear the word Fido I reach for my gun

"I can touch it any time I like" is not something the Bou' ever likes to hear.

It's especially not something the Bou' likes to hear about someone's dead dog.

So I get that this is not a Californian story, I just ask why is the LATimes making this news? I can already see a sequel to Beverly Hills Chihuahua being made about how a talking rat wears a special vest made of magic chihuahua fur that allows it to talk.

Oh great, now I'm making the problem worse.

the hills of beverly

So, the Bou' wants to know which is more lame:

1) Naming a bank "First Bank of Beverly Hills" even though your bank is not located in Beverly Hills

or

2) Naming a bank "First Bank of Beverly Hills" and not having your crap together enough to avoid being shut down by the government?

Thanks for getting our hopes up that a bunch of smug assholes would be losing their money only to realize it's not the same assholes we thought it would be.

Also thanks to the LATimes for the lamest URI i the history of URIs:

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/money_co/2009/04/federal-regulators-shut-down-the-first-bank-of-beverly-hills-late-today-and-said-they-would-send-checks-to-insured-deposito.html

it would take a californian to think this is news

Yup, the LA Times is blown away that a bunch of goddamned hippies are buying all the Priuses. Well, duh.

Next you're going to tell me that people driving around drunk are more likely to smash into a random building full of stoners - oh wait.

See, what the LA Times has forgotten is that the rest of the United States of Americans already knows that California is the most Californian place in the world.

Duh people - it's called California for a reason.

crystal meth + chihuahua = riverside county

Count 'em: 800. wild dogs.

The Bou' is trying to put this in perspective:

if X is wild dog, this is Riverside county's favorite trailer park:

The Bou' is not making up this caption from a photograph:

"Residents say the aggressive dogs leave them too afraid to go English classes or the laundromat"

Thank goodness the math and science classes are still being attended.
