Slayer Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 I was kidding earlier. I don't really hate Chicago. Now LA and NYC are a different matter entirely
Guest Mosaicv2 Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 Best thread I seen on this here board.
Guest Vitamin X Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 I was kidding earlier. I don't really hate Chicago. Now LA and NYC are a different matter entirely Fuck off
Guest Vitamin X Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Actually, I hate NYC too. I tend to hate New Yorkers more than their city, though. I like big cities with nice weather. LA is both (except from January-March where the climate can't make up its mind between chilly and rainy and sunny and ridiculously hot)
Matt Young Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 I like the Cubs and the White Sox. I grew up in an extended family that was and still is obsessed with the Cubs, so I saw their games before I even watched baseball regularly. You want to know why I started liking the White Sox? No? Well, ok... I'll tell you. Around the time I started watching baseball (1995- I was 11) I got a labrador with white paws. He had been named White Sox by his previous owners. That's it. I've been a fan ever since. And Los Angeles is the greatest city in the United States. I've been to pretty much every major city except New York and Boston (though I'd love to see Boston) and nothing tops LA for overall atmosphere. However, Toronto may or may not top LA for overall best city in North America. I don't know. I've only been to Toronto once. I've been to LA on several occasions. Thus ends my pointless rambling... for now.
Mole Posted March 17, 2005 Author Report Posted March 17, 2005 Actually, I hate NYC too. I tend to hate New Yorkers more than their city, though. Long Island folk are the worst. They think Long Island is the best place on earth and that everyone should be like them.
The Czech Republic Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Los Angeles is the greatest city in the United States. I don't buy that for a minute.

Thus ends my pointless rambling... for now. Yeah dude, smog rocks! Seriously though, I love LA but I could see why some people wouldn't like it, especially people impatient with long commutes to just about anywhere and those that hate traffic. And if you live in a boring area, of course, but it's just so large that if you take time to get to know the city you could find something to love. It's awesomely diverse in that aspect. Not many places you can go to the beach, snowboard, and go camping in the woods all in the same day. Long Island folk are the worst. They think Long Island is the best place on earth and that everyone should be like them. I was actually going to mention this, though for some reason I forgot to. I've met a couple Long Islanders down here and they truly are by far the biggest assholes. New Yorkers from say, Manhattan, just tend to be very arrogant of where they're from. I find a lot of NYers are like that, though.
The Czech Republic Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 What's the deal with Staten Island? Is there anything there? I can't imagine they're too arrogant, since they're from the Forgotten Borough.
Matt Young Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Compared to where I grew up (Springfield, Illinois- Worst. capital. ever.) LA is paradise. And yes, Czech, LA is better than cold and windy Chicago.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Slightly worse to drive in, but LA wins out on weather alone. I don't really care for any big city, but if I had to pick one to live in, it'd be San Francisco, Seattle, or Portland, probably. The latter two before the former. The south's too damn hot in the summer, the northeast is a pisshole, and I'm not keen on living in California.
A Happy Medium Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Yeah...Springfield is lacking as a capital city. But hey..Lincoln's house is there...and such. I'm turned off on LA because every single person I meet from there will not shut up about the place and how great it is...plus, the same people are so self important and arrogant. I mean, I love Chicago, but I remember the bad with the good...the winters suck, you will find your fair share of douche bags there...and driving in the city after 2pm is just terrible.
Slayer Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 My favorite big cities (so far) are Minneapolis and Boston. I would prefer to live in the suburbs though, so I can be equal distance from both the heart of the city and the countryside.

Funny enough, I just said the exact same thing about NYers just a few posts earlier in this thread. Must be a big city thing then, I get the same thing from some Chicagoans, though not nearly to the extent of New Yorkers. Man they're annoying. This thread is proof that: 1. There's douchebags really everywhere you go 2. Noone is ever satisfied with their local traffic conditions 3. The grass is always greener on the other side.
Ripper Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 What in the everloving fuck have you people been doing in this thread. STOP IT!!!
nl5xsk1 Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Finally, Ripper was the voice of fucking reason ... this thread started off so strongly and then just fell to all shit. Even people who I normally count on for bringing good content and salvaging threads let me down. (Not naming name, but Slayer, I'm looking at you.) And is Micah L. Glossinger the best gimmick poster in a long while, or he just naturally a kick-ass gimmick? Oh, and by the way, congrats mole. Anyone that likes Phish, takes pictures of at least half-way attractive girls AND posts that much on TSM is Ok in my book.
Slayer Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Not naming name, but Slayer, I'm looking at you. That's quite a not-name to be naming there
nl5xsk1 Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Hey, man, heavy is the head that wears the crown. You're a victim of your own success. Some people are expected to bring their best, and raise the bar, and all sorts of other cliches. You're one of these people, Slayer. And this thread wasn't your best work.
nl5xsk1 Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Wait ... is Slayer offing himself because he failed us as a poster, or is he offing himself because of his new-found standing as an important poster? Inquiring minds want to know.
Slayer Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 R. Bud Slayer He ate a .357 Wait ... is Slayer offing himself because he failed us as a poster, or is he offing himself because of his new-found standing as an important poster? Inquiring minds want to know. *rots*
nl5xsk1 Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 *rots* Not to bust balls, but yes was the appropriate answer. Your stock plummets further.
Slayer Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 Not to bust balls, but yes was the appropriate answer. The only appropriate answers are the ones I make And you sure have been doing a fair bit of not-naming and not-ball busting lately

I didn't want to, but I felt I needed to to impress them.
Slayer Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 Am I going to have to revoke your internet priviliges, young man?!
