I saw the Swedish one a few days ago. Only used once.

What, is it Polish or something?  You can raise the blade again, you know.

The blade was raised. :)

How many Poles does it take to operate a guillotine?  4, to lift it up and then drop the frame.

Garbon's residencies ?      :P

:blush:

Though, quite frankly, I don't know what Boston has to be snobby about.

Hahvahd?

True, Harvard and MIT are probably the two highlights. Most people in Boston don't go to those schools though.

Actually I guess also the healthcare available there but then that's still nothing something an average Bostonian can really relate to.

Couldn't the proximity be a source of pride just like Rockefeller Center or Times Square to a New Yawker?

Yeah you're right...insofar as I also forget about that. Still I think unlike SF and NYC which also have snobbery across all classes of citizens (so a popular snobbery if you will) that I think all of the things we've mentioned for Boston are still more snobbery among those with a pedigree.

Who are these New Yorkers who are proud of Times Square?

It's a symbol of how "important" you are. How many people go to Cleveland if they're not on business or visiting someone they know?

All I'm saying is that if I could work further away from Time Square it'd be all the better.
