well Haas avocados are supposed to be extremely dark green when ripe and ready to eat and have the rough skin, thats what I find mostly over here and they taste the best...you might have the cali ones if they're bright green and have the smooth skin--they're generally harder and don't ripen once they're picked which is why they sell em cheap :-P

They're all Haas variety, but the Kroger ones usually need a day or two before you can cut them open. They're always smooth and delicious, but the ones from Rainbow Blossom just taste overripe and weird.

I've always loved this episode. Skip to about 2:30.
Edit: Skip to 6:45 for tips on picking avocados in grocery stores
