Daniel, we say he's from California because he's so flaky he couldn't be from elsewhere. Then, we muster the fact that he's "from California" as proof positive of flakiness. That is perfectly acceptable logic on this particular list. And if you don't like it, I'll just note that you are from California, too.
Everyone else, piss off.
