My experience in NY has varied and I have been there often (being from NY and my sister living there). Mostly though, my experiences have been good. Like Parisians, however, once they get out of NYC its ‘well in NYC we have this and that and blah and whine and cry’ oye vey!

I went to school in Buffalo, thoroughly enjoyed it. Except it was in the years where they lost four times in the Superbowl and I’m a Cowboys fan.

I once spent a weekend in Buffalo, and I thought the people there were very odd. As I passed them on the sidewalk they’d make eye contact, smile, and say hello.

Bunch of freaks, if you ask me. How are you supposed to ever get where you’re going if you have to keep acknowledging people?

I’m a busy man!

It takes 4 hamsters and a bottle of malt liquor.

When I was in NY City it seemed to me that NYers have a corner on the rude and obnoxious market.

I’ve been to Paris as well. It is not exactly Parisians in Paris, but how they act when they visit any other place in the world. In Paris, they are feeling great, perfectly comfortable.

Having worked with and having friends who are Parisians and having visited old family in France and hearing their tales of Parisians, they suck. Period. Sure, you can say ‘everyone always complains that nothing is as good as home’ and to an extent that is true. No one does it as loudly, rudely, arrogantly and constantly. Seriously, I could not figure out how they could breathe during the length of their many tirades. New Yorkers come in a close second.

Look, my reasoning was infallible, and now, having been enlightened by yours truly, all here finally see “Field of Dreams” for the left leaning, pabulum that it is, but Outlaw is away from home, being battered by sand and artillery fire in a foreign country, trying to bring up http://www.threedonia.com on a Commodore Vic 20, using a pie tin for a satellite dish. What kind of a heel would dump on him at a time like this?

He’s sitting in his Fiat watching Field of Dreams at a drive-in.
