You have to have lived in El Segundo, to understand the depth of humor found in this small town. NBC could easily produce a reality show about this place and most of all the people in it. Don't get me wrong, there are GREAT people in El Segundo and it truly is the perfect place to raise your family. It just takes an immigrant like myself, to be able to put things in perspective for the natives I love dearly.

There are a few things you need to know about people from El Segundo. People from El Segundo, don't like to leave El Segundo for anything. They don't like to pay more than $3.00 for a Coors Light. Chevron Vouchers are a status symbol. You could start a very large college fund with all of the money that El Segundo locals loose in street sweeping tickets and Varsity Baseball is a RELIGION. By religion, I mean high school baseball players make the strictest muslims in the Taliban look forgiving. The police in El Segundo are so nice, they will often drive you home from the bar after a night of drinking and its the only place in the world left, where you can leave your bloody door unlocked.

My favorite thing about El Segundo is how the men all import their women. It's not because there isn't awesome girls here, but chances are if you grew up in El Segundo, you or someone you know has either dated or slept with them. This doesn't leave anyone many options. There are enough El Segundo imports to start a beer garden. We could easily name the next Rock'n Brew Tap list after all of us. Leffe Browns, IPA's, Blondes, Pale Ale's and completely Unfiltered! Clearly... I am one. We are from all over! Philly, Ohio, Canada, San Diego, Seattle, Georgia... you get the picture. The reason why we all end up HERE, is because men from El Segundo suffer from separation anxiety. I have seen 3 year olds have an easier time giving up their baby blankets, then guys giving up Gundo.

As I said there are some pretty amazing women from this town. A few of my closest friends grew up here. Just like other South Bay locals, they like their rainbows, their beer, their bars and their breakfast joints. If you want to fit in, don't you DARE go to Good Stuff. Wendy's Place Cafe is where you will find these homegirls, and if you ever talk shit on Jose and his omelette, they will probably chop your balls off. It usually takes them a little while to warm up to you. But this is only because most of the guys they hang with, have brought around 10-15 deficient dumb blondes before you with a IQ of about 70. It's really not their fault.

My husband and I have recently moved to Del Aire. This little neighborhood is about 5 minutes from the border of El Segundo.... A WHOLE other posting!

Laugh, Cry, Love, Read!
