[Papa John]

Making a pit stop in Cali. I mean Cali is in Columbia (South America) for cripes sake.  And on T-shirts worn by people bent on bastardizing this State's name.

I'm guilty as charged, jacketree, but, since we're having fun with place names, I'd like to point out that the major city in Colombia is actually Santiago de Cali, and Columbia is the gem of the ocean--that one is for the Civil War buffs in the crowd.

I wonder if there's a parallel Colombian blog on which someone from Santiago de Cali is complaining about how folks have bastardized the full name of his or her city?

In any case, no more copying and pasting from David Lombardi and no more abbreviations for me. From now on, I will refer to my adopted home as California! Unless, of course, I'm talking about  SoCal... or NorCal... or that rival university in the East Bay...
