tampa

City in Florida, located gulf coast central area. Geographic highlight is the wide bay flowing out to the Gulf of Mexico. Is the major urban area of a large metro region known as Tampa Bay (which includes neighboring St. Petersburg and Clearwater). Population is a mix of mostly first/second generation transplants from the north during the Florida population growth of the 1970s and 80s, and Cubans and other Caribbean exile communities. Is best known as the home of long-suffering (until recently, when they won the Super Bowl) NFL team Buccaneers, and one of the first successful pro hockey teams south of Philadelphia in years. The bay metro area is also a prominent baseball Spring Training locale and home of a really weak pro baseball team.
Local economy relies mostly on tourism/beaches, with shipping/importing/exporting, finance, and some aerospace industries.
Is considered a middling metro area compared to Florida's major metro Miami/Dade-Ft.Lauderdale-Palm Beach, and not as favorite a tourist attraction as Orlando. However, the beaches are great, the ambience (sp?) is pleasant, and traffic throughout Florida sucks anyway so just live with it, okay?
Metro area is also birthplace of the Hooters restaurant franchise.

Tampa. Home of the lukewarm buffalo wings and hot waitresses.

I don't want to ruin our friendship

Phrase used in polite company. Literal translation is "There's no fricking way I am going to have sex with your fat ugly ass." Used in conjunction with the horrendous phrases "You're a nice guy but..." and "It's not you, it's me."

While I appreciate that you've actually taken a bath for the first time since 1983, I just...don't want to ruin our friendship...

California

One of 50 member states of the USA; Largest state in terms of population; home of American film industry; currently topping Florida, New York and Texas as The Most Embarassing State To Live In due to a massively hideous recall effort to install an Austrian actor as governor, at a time of a major budget crisis that will most certainly get worse before the next recall move that will take place the following year.
Also, a state within a day's driving distance to Las Vegas.

I'm voting back in Cali, in Cali, in Cali, I'm voting back in Cali (nah, I don't think so).
