If we're comparing both as a state that is.
I mean honestly Cali has some of the most beautiful cities in the US...Frisco, Diego, the OC <- it's a county not a city I know.,
I'm sorry but no city in Texas compares to any of those.Also beach > than lakes
Surprisingly the night life in both states suck. Liquor laws in both states make most places shut down @ 2am! 🤨 And some areas in Texas are considered dry? You gotta be kidding me.
2AM? Things are just getting started where I'm from.
Don't get me wrong Texas is alright too and I'm a Mavs fan. People from both states are very friendly and cool. Cali has some of the coolest dudes I've ever met in my life. Can't wait to go back.
Btw, the weed thing is definitely true. I kept getting offered weed right in the middle of the street in broad daylight in a city like San Jose of all places and for free. Can't beat that. Like I said cool dudes.
My favorite time spent was in Diego. We partied and drank right on the beach all day and then later the party carried over to the nightclubs. If I lived in Diego, I'd prob be a Moondogger for life! 🤘
Agree, San Diego is without a doubt a great city to visit in California. 👆
Arizona > Texas
This is for those of you who are lucky enough to hail from the Grand Canyon State. Nowhere else is there a desert so beautiful, a sky so open and blue, and a smell so wonderful after the rain. Clearly, Arizona is the epitome of the Southwest.
I'd also like to point out that Texas is the only state to have failed as a nation. Pwned.
You Know You're From Arizona When...
You notice your car overheating before you drive it.
You no longer associate bridges or rivers with water.
You know a swamp cooler is not a happy hour drink.
You can hear the weather forecast of 115 degrees without flinching.
You can be in the snow, then drive for an hour...and it will be over 100 degrees.
You discover, in July it only takes two fingers to drive your car, because your steering wheel is so hot.
You can make sun tea instantly.
You run your a/c in the middle of winter so you can use your fireplace.
The best parking is determined by shade.....not distance.
Hotter water comes from the cold water tap than the hot one.
It's noon in July, kids are on summer vacation and yet all the streets are totally empty of both cars and people.
You actually burn your hand opening the car door.
Sunscreen is sold year round, kept right at the checkout counter.
You put on fresh sunscreen just to go check the mail box.
Some fools will market mini-misters for joggers and some other fools will actually buy them. Worse.....some fools actually try to jog.
No one would dream of putting vinyl inside a car.
You see two trees fighting over a dog.
You can say "Hohokam" and people don't think you're laughing funny
You see more irrigation water on the street than there is in the Salt River
You have to go to a fake beach for some fake waves
You can pronounce"Saguaro", "Tempe", "San Xavier", "Canyon de Chelly", "Mogollon Rim", and "Cholla"
You can understand the reason for a town named "Why"
You can fry an egg on the hood of a car IN THE MORNING!
You hear people say "but it's a DRY heat!"
You buy salsa by the gallon.
Your Christmas decorations include sand and l00 paper bags.
You think a red light is merely a suggestion.
All of your out-of-state friends start to visit after October but clear out come the end of April.
You think someone driving wearing oven mitts is clever.
Most of the restaurants in town have the first name "El" or "Los."
You think 60 tons of crushed red rock makes a beautiful yard.
Your house is made of stucco and has a red clay tile roof.
Vehicles with open windows have the right-of-way in the summer.
Most homes have more firearms than people.
Kids will ask, "What's a mosquito?"
People who have black cars or black upholstery in their car are automatically assumed to be from out of-state or nuts.
You know better than to get into a car with leather seats if you're wearing shorts.
If you haven't worked for Motorola at some time, you must be a newcomer.
You can finish a Big Gulp in 10 minutes and go back for seconds.
You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Arizona.

-Michael Johnson did roids; nothing to brag about there
-90% of all Westerns that take place in Texas, we're filmed in Arizona.
-Unlike Texas, we have In-N-Out
-One thing we can both agree on, is that Californians can't drive.

One of my e-buddies and I were debating the pros and cons of our respective home states. Why? We were bored. He, being from California, was going on and on about how great California was by comparing all [b]this to the remaining 49 states. Here's what he had to say.In California:
- I can wear sandals all year long.
- I go to the Beach - not "down to the shore".
- Our chicks are WAYYYY hotter than yours.
- I say "like" and "for sure" and "right on" and "dude" and "totally" and "peace out" and "chill" and "tight" and "bro" and I say them often.
- I know what real cheese & avocados taste like.
-Everyone smokes weed and its no big deal.
-We'll roll up 40 deep when something goes down.
-I live next door to Mexicans, but we call them American's!
-All the porn you watch is made here, cause we're better and thats how it is.
- I don't get snowdays off because theres only snow in Mammoth, Tahoe, Shasta, and Big Bear.
- I know 65 mph really means 100.
- When someone cuts me off, they get the horn and the finger and high speed chase cuz we dont f*ck around on the road.
- The drinking age is 21 but everyone starts at 14 (legally 18 if you live close enough to the border).
- My governor can kick your governors ass.
- I can go out at midnight.
-You judge people based on what area code they live in, and when asked where you're from, you give your area code.
- I might get looked at funny by locals when I'm on vacation in their state, but when they find out I'm from California I turn into a Greek GOD.
- We don't stop at stop signs... we do a "california roll". No cop no stop baby!
- I can get fresh and REAL Mexican food 24 hours a day.
- All the TV shows you "other" states watch get filmed here.
- We're the Golden State. Not the Cheese State. Not the Garden State.....GOLDEN!!!
- We have In-N-Out (Arizona and Vegas are lucky we share that with them).
- I have the most representation in the House of Representatives, which means MY opinion means more than yours, which means I'm better than you.
- The best athletes come from here.
_______________________________________So I explaind to my West Coast chum, in the nicest way, of course, was:
In Texas:
- I too can wear sandals all year long... plus I can put on boots to stomp your toes and I won't even stick out.
- You may be able to go to the "beach" instead of the "shore"... but can you go to the drive thru "Beer Barn?" What now, surfer boy?
- You're chicks aren't way hotter than ours... they are almost equal... and thats only due to silicone, saline, botox, lasers and hair dye... We have the real ones and they can beat yours up.
- We're taught to say "Yes Sir" and "Yes Ma'am" and respect our elders because of it. We also say "Howdy" and "fixin" and "Yall" are pretty much recognized right away anywhere in the world 🙂 We're famous
- You may know what real cheese and avocados taste like... but I know what 100% Grade A Angus Beef tastes like. Who wants avocados and cheese when you can have steak and potatoes?
- Haha... who do you think grows the weed and sells it to you?
- Why roll 40 deep when something goes down if 5 corn fed country boys can get the job done...
- I live next door to Americans, but we call them Mexicans
- About your Porn.... 3 words...."Debbie Does Dallas"....You can brag about it now, but we started it
- Why would you brag about not getting snow days off?
- We're smart enought to know 65mph means 65, but our speed limit is 70.
- When someone cuts me off, they get run over by my big ass truck, then I give them the finger, and tell them to go back to california.
- The drinking age is 21, but if you aren't chasing the beer by 1 yr old... you're behind.
- Yeah, Well my governor became the President of the United States... yours isn't even eligible.
- You can go out at midnight? Thats nice, I haven't even come home by then.
- Ok... you said,"You judge people based on what area code they live in, and when asked where you're from, you give your area code" and as hard as I try I have no idea what you're talking about... I think you're watching too much tv.
- Yeah, you'll definitely get looked funny when you come to visit but we have another name for you pretty boys, and its not Greek, its French.
- Of course you don't stop at stop signs... none of you can drive.
- You can pick up Real mexican food 24 hours a day huh... well I hate to burst your bubble, but Texas has the greatest Mexican food in the U.S. What you call "real" Mexican food is 2nd rate shit.
- All the tv shows get filmed there... but where does your favorite poker game from? Texas Hold'em anyone?
- You can keep your Golden State... We're the Lone Star State...the one and only!!
- Do I have to remind you about the drive thru Beer Barn again? Does In-N-Out serve alcohol? (Oh, and did I mention Dr. Pepper was created in Texas?)
- You guys have the best athletes huh?... Nine words... Lance Armstrong and The University of Texas at Austin. Though I could mention MICHAEL JOHNSON - Olympic Sprinter, World record holder in 200m and 400m, 5 Olympic Gold metals, 9 time World Champion (born Dallas, Tx). Oh, and remind me again, who won the Rose Bowl between USC and Texas????? I believe it was the LONGHORNS!
- Football is a religion, not a sport
- In Texas, football means football, not soccer.
- 90% of football "movies" you guys are making are about Texas Football.
- Texas is the only state that can still separate to become its own country. The only way California's gonna accomplish that is if another earthquake comes along and you guys sink into the ocean. Can you say Atlantis.... hahahaPwned. [/B]
Never been to any state.I just call guys that live in the CA Suffer dudes!jm 😆
