Things you overhear in San Francisco, but not rural America

  • "Hopefully that new tax passes."
  • "These french fries need less ketchup and more garlic."
  • "That's the hipster bowling alley."
  • "I think I'm going to stop over in Japantown before hitting up Chinatown and having dinner in Little Saigon."

  • "Barry Bonds is the best damn baseball player of all time."
  • "How are you today, Mr. Mays?"
  • "We need stronger gun control."
  • "I was sitting at the bar when Robin Williams walked in!"
  • "Who is Eric Church/Lady Antebellum/Dierks Bentley/Big & Rich/etc.?" (no seriously, who are they? Inquiring San Franciscans want to know)
  • "Beat LA! Beat LA! Beat LA!" (chanted in unison by 42,000)
  • "It's good earthquake weather."
  • "I think the Occupy Movement can still succeed." (you also won't hear this one in Oakland anymore)
  • "The Warriors will make the playoffs. I can feel it."
  • "It's only a matter of time before we get our 6th Super Bowl ring."
  • "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco." (thanks Mark Twain!)
  • "Don't worry, I brought my reusable grocery bag."
  • "Hey! You better compost that! It's the law!"
  • "I can tell the time based on the amount of fog overhead."
  • "Want to go for a ride on my water jetpack?"
  • "I know socialists. Some of my best friends are socialists. Barack Obama is no socialist."
