Love both of those comics.

I took inspiration from Second Class Citizen's wonderful avatar and finally made a new sign for my car, as my No on 8 sign is a bit out of date. I think the people around here might not actually understand such a smart design as SCCs so I spelled it out on mine.

This large size should print perfectly on a letter size sheet of paper if anyone cares to download and print. I used photo paper and it looks fantastic.

Ventura: 600

OC Register says 1000 at the Civic Center.

LA Times was bogging down my 'puter so I couldn't get a story from them.

I suspect it's difficult to estimate crowd sizes.

Too high. I say 600 and I think GD said he thought it was 400.

I'll trust you guys. Just posting what the paper said.

Uhm, I said 'Cali' just because I was too lazy to spell out the entire word. I'm not all that concerned with being verbally cool, but if it makes everyone feel better I'll just go with CA. Sounds a bit like poo, but really cool poo, right?;)

Nah, it's California so it would just be really full of itself poo.

Don't know if you saw a different sign there, but the one I saw (here) has it correct. Or at least correctly attributed to the supreme court, and semi-incorrectly but popularly accepted attributed to the wrong case as Alex discovered.

BTW: Does anyone else promounce this in their head as "VAY-um"

Pronunciations vary, Lash. The real question is 'Do the really cool people pronounce it that way?' I lean toward the Chef Emiril pronunciation, but I think that's just a LaGasse thing.
