They said "Frisco"! This is unforgiveable. UNFORGIVABLE, I SAY. And anyone in the SF area worth their salt knows this.

Grab your torches and pitchforks, everyone!

Through the mist
Through the woods
Through the darkness and the shadows
It's a nightmare but it's one exciting ride...

BWA-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha!

Well if that "Spelling Bee" cast is as smart as their charcters are, they'll say "HELL NO!"

I make it a personal habit to correct people the second that abomination of a word slips out of their mouth, which is quite often because so many SFSU on-campus residents come from SoCal and need their proper Bay Area learning. I know I've done a job well done when I have them using "hella" in their everyday vocabulary.

I must say, it's so refreshing to see some new pictures of Eden in green and to see Aaron and the rest of the SF Bee cast together!

"Lulu" (Marilyn Sokol) is corrected in the camp classic (and when will they bring it to Broadway?) musical, "Can't Stop The Music" when she says, "I knew they'd love us in Frisco". A woman says to her,
"Please, never Frisco. It's San Francisco!". Let's not forget those immortal words to live by.

I've grown up in the Bay Area and I just heard someone say "frisco" last year and I didn't get it. It was a blonde moment. I finally realized what the girl was saying.

I am still mad about it! lol My mom laughs at me, but I've never heard people call it that. Oh well...
