The OC (the early-2000s TV show, not a geographical misnomer) taught me that it is where roughneck boys with storied pasts and hearts of gold come from.
NO! Ryan was from CHINO, not Chico! Not that Chino is paradise or anything, lol.
Oh damn, you're right! (I can't believe there's an OC Wiki.) Well now I know nothing of California's armpits.
One of my sorority sisters is from Stockton. She is gorgeous in a natural beauty kind of way. She's done some print modeling, nothing major, but is too short for a real career in the industry. Between this guy and my soror, I'm forced to believe Stockton is full of pretty people.
Maybe you just haven't been to the right part of town
Is she still in Stockton? If not, I rest my case.
LOL. No, she left Stockton to go to school in OK and now lives in TX. Ok. I trust you
Boy. Sacto is really dodging a bullet in this convo!
Must be the fancy new arena.
I've never been to Sacramento. I have lived here for six years. Is that bad?
I would also like to nominate the Stanford Campus, and the Romney estate in La Jolla. Both may look lovely, but the high percentage of unbearable people residing there qualify them for armpit status.

I am down with any and all forms of Stanfurd bashing.

Unless you have a particular affinity for state politics and history, mediocre basketball, old railroads, or old forts, and don't mind 100+ weather, probably not bad.
No, you're thinking of Bakersfield. THAT'S the armpit. Taffy factory, an excellent brewery, my sister and a hero cat are all it has to offer.
I thought Fresno was known for the large Hmong population? Though there are a ton of Cambodians, too.
What is the brewery in Bakersfield?
Lengthwise. The brother of a coworker of mine owns it. He brings us jugs of beer. As does my sister. The Zeus messes me up. Also, the fries covered in many cheeses are delicious.
Should you for some inexplicable reason find youself in Bakersfield, you should swing by.
He got those "I'd kill you and cut your body into little pieces" eyes.
I think he's sexy his lips and cheekbones are hot so I think he's attractive but I do find his eyes chilling.
So yeah I'd sleep with him if he kept his eyes closed. But he couldn't be one of my brother-husbands. Those spots are reserved for Jason Momoa, Jr. Gong and Morris Chestnut. Although Mos Def's former spot remains open.
Do you know how much of this I love?? Sleep with him with his eye clothes, brother husbands, spot formerly occupied by Mos Def lol
Also, I know I'm a day late and a dollar short and I'm sure when I catch up on this thread I'll find that someone addressed this but if this man were coal black or even just a nice chocolate color, there are ladies (not in this thread) who would be clutching their pearls and decrying him as another violent black man who is involved in gang violence. There wouldn't be anyone trying to take him home.
And how do I know this? Because I see good looking men on the police blotter all the time but they are dark skinned and thus, people are either scared of them or don't see them as sexually attractive.
California is an octopus. There's a lot of armpits. Riverside and Chico cannot be left off the list.
Or Victorville. Or El Centro. And let's not forget the entire Morongo Valley.
The armpits are endless.
I'd like to nominate Lancaster and Palmdale, and I'm disappointed by the lack of SoCal armpit representation (except Victorville, of course). Also, Baker. World's Biggest Thermometer? No thanks, I'll keep on driving by.

Never intentionally. Only on the way to Kernville (another good brewery there) or Sequoia/Kings Canyon.

And you would be correct in your assumption. Ding ding ding!
That don't stop me from imagining Luke Evans' fine ass throwing me against a wall and doing whatever he pleases to my body.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!
Have you watched Ripper Street? Because there is a character in that show that's a slightly low rent Luke Evans. It's enough for two seasons, mmkay?
I don't know who Luke Evans is but I'm guessing from the above pic you're referring to Adam Rothenberg? He is for sure super sexy in Ripper Street, even though his character is a mess.
Eta: nevermind I do know who he is - the hot guy in the most recent Hobbit movie.

Next time we gtg, please remind me to tell you about the Stanford trust fund kid I worked next to for two years. *shudder*

Adam Rothenberg gets hotter in that show the messier he gets. I'm all, YES PLEASE! Don't even care if he likes hookers and has more Civil War era STDs than a New Orleans camp follower. I live in the modern world, baby. I will time travel with penicillin and condoms.

Oh my God! I just realized I have lived in way too many places in California. My dad moved me out to Palmdale for about a year when I was 15. I will second the nomination! I feel bad saying that because my step-sister and her family live there.

I cannot believe I missed the California-octupus-armpit discussion. I should stand up for Carl's hometown of Lancaster, but instead I will just confirm the status. I honestly didn't believe it existed until I drove out there the first time and saw the sign off 5. When my ILs moved to Fresno, it was an improvement, so I guess that tells you where I put it in my hierarchy.
I'm coming into this thread to defend Chico. (I can't believe I'm doing this.) I lived there for a few years, once between age 19-21, and once in my mid 20's. I know a lot of people that live there and really like it. It's actually a cute little town. The people that really live there are not that bad. They are very community oriented, can be kind of hippy-ish and artsy. The frat culture can make it out of control and I think they have really been trying to do something about it. I loved the summers when the college kids would leave.
Now as far as Stockton, Fresno and Bakersfield, I think California has one large armpit that stretches from Bakersfield up to Stockton. One could argue it reaches around to Redding.
On topic, yes he is very good looking in the conventional way. He fits the internet memes well. It's funny what gets picked up on and goes viral.
eta- Damn! I just saw his brother.
Didn't go to CSU Chico but spent every Halloween of my college years there. Good times
Gary Dourdan comes to mind, except Gary is much better looking. Mug shot guy is attractive, but I'm not a real fan of super pale blue eyes on anyone, white, black, or other. They look a little corpse-ish to me. His brother is super hot. Looks aside, if he is in fact guilty of whatever he is being charged with, I hope he sits in prison for a very long time.

He looks like shit recently. Left photo is recent. View Attachment

I was going to say "give the guy a break, he's almost 50", but then I enlarged the thumbnail and my soul may have died a little. What the hell happened to him?!?
