Now look at the word and tell me that is how it sounds! LOL
Port Youneme.
Hay, clam up you!
Don't hold me to it but I think Harry's on his way with the banana, although you cheated a little. Now, get together with norton and find out what a hueneme is ;0).
Actually I just Googled it and:
"Hueneme (wene'mu) is a Chumash word meaning "half-way" or "resting place." Chumash nation Canalinos Indians likely stopped at Point Hueneme as they passed between today's Point Mugu and the mouth of the Santa Clara River. The 'Point' is the closest spot (11 miles) from which to cross the Santa Barbara channel transiting between the mainland and Anacapa Island."
Perhaps it's one of those words my brain refused to process because it can't be pronounced the way it is spelled.
I dunno. But somehow I never registered its existence and I know a lot of obscure stuff.

I would if I had a potfull of those big beauties steaming on the stove! But while they're known as Pismo clams, that's not what a pismo is. Hint: pismos are found on beaches for a great distance along the entire Santa Barbara channel and points north and south for quite a distance.

stop it man, yer killin me
Sounds like you were one of the rich families who still had calendars in July. We usually ate ours before Spring.
"Ventura County has been a big well-kept secret until lately. Now the developers are going full-bore and I think the plan is to turn us into Orange County West (yes, O.C. is mainly east of V.C.)""well-kept secret"!!! I visited my brother-in-law that lives in the area (Mandalay Bay development), nothing is less than a $mil each :(
Last night, heard extremely loud thunder in the Culver City/West L.A. area. I mean, I have never heard thunder that LOUD. Thunder and lightning, but no rain.
I could even hear thunderclaps echoing their way down towards Orange County.
Woke me up out of a sound sleep, sent the cat racing for the closet.
What I had in mind is pressure for large-scale development through the whole county. We have a new 4-year college, Cal State Channel Islands, that will bring lots of new people to the area. Pt. Mugu Naval Air Station is being eyed by development interests as a new commercial airport to take pressure off LAX. There's talk of all kinds of developments, from amusement parks to a Hollywood Bowl-sized stadium/entertainment center.
It won't be long until Thousand Oaks, Ventura, Oxnard, Camarillo and Moorpark merge into a single mass of streets and buildings. The semi-rural aspect of the area has begun to disappear more rapidly each passing year. I guess that kind of progress is considered good but I've enjoyed the peace, quiet and very low crime rate too. That's all changing.
Huenemes is clams?
See my #103.
Wealthy democrats?
Youknewme?
There are too many of those but no, that's not it. Dog Gone would probably recognize them but not by that name.
