Liking that song as a child should have been a clue up the bitch that was to come. -_-

Also, I was just reading a thing about New York things and I think these few struck me as reasons we are so unhappy. :blush:

Quote
3. You rush everywhere even if you have no reason to.
4. You get sidewalk rage because people walk too slowly.

11. You can bump into someone when you're walking and not take the time to say "sorry."
16. You no longer smell that "hot trash" smell. That's just a normal smell.
28. You ~cannot~ walk as slow as everyone else does when you travel outside New York.
30. You feel the specific anger of waiting in line to swipe at the subway turnstile behind someone who DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO SWIPE.
41. You think, Awwww! instead of Ewwww when you watch a pair of rats chase each other on the subway tracks.
43. You've earnestly said, "I'd kill for laundry in my building."
53. You slam your fist onto a cab's hood and yell at them to fuck off when they're about to hit you.
54. You've seen a homeless guy jerking off onto an ATM at the Chase on Smith between Baltic and Warren and been completely unfazed by it.

You really shouldn't be watching people when they use an ATM.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

you do realize both dakotas have a city of 100,000 people, right?  :huh:

There are apparently many things I didn't realize. Most important being that when you reference the population of a city in the Dakotas, it should be bolded and underlined.   :P
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)
