My First Impressions of the MidWest/Cincinnati

[pchang]

Give it up for the Queen

Cincinnati is the Queen city. When I was there, I didn't see too many guys in drag, but I probably wasn't in the right neighborhood. Just across the border in Indiana, is Batesville, coffin capital of the USA. In many ways, Cincinnati is a company town and that company is P&G. At the old Riverfront stadium, we used to be able to show our P&G ID's to buy beer.

Japher, you mad fool, you! Didn't you live in or close to Santa Cruz? Now you've moved from the heaven I live in, to the ****hole I grew up in. You have all my sympathy. What part of the ****hole are you in now? Dayton was my part.

[Japher]

I'm outside Cincinnati in a town called Batavia.

We'll see. I may end up back in CA one day, but for now I am not missing the high cost of living, traffic filled streets, or foreigners asking me questions in some foreign language I can't even identify.

Japher - and btw the way, you were the one exception in the humor thread, I just couldn't resist getting Ogie and Drake to bite - how about a Cincinnatti poly meet. Guynemer is in Columbus, and we are outside Louisville. I lived in Ohio for five years. Email me and I'll get right back to you. Congrats on soon to be fatherhood.

[Japher]

you were the one exception in the humor thread

yeah right! you really hurt my feelings

[debeest]

Yeah, the cost of living here is pretty high, but really it's just the cost of housing (and gasoline, for some reason) -- and you get what you pay for. I just avoid the traffic, and any language problem tends to be a problem for them, not for me.

[Mr. Harley]

I just couldn't resist the joke - the description of my sense of humor, so I looked at everybody who shared the different categories and the three of you were just too perfect to pass up.

[Mr. Harley]

debeest - where are you in Ohio? Could you make it to Cinnci or Columbus?

[Theben]

Hey, I used to live in Batavia... Illinois.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I'll echo DanS and say just call it "Coke". The only think annoying, of course, is when the restaurant just offers Pepsi and they ask if Pepsi would be ok. I'm sure there are some morons who don't want Pepsi, but want Coke, but most people just don't care (ie, I understand why they ask, but its still annoying).

Btw, Ohio doesn't exist

[debeest]

Shawn, Ohio is my old stomping grounds; now I live in heaven, a.k.a. Santa Cruz. Otherwise I'd be delighted to meet. Just this morning I did pack my wife and kids onto an airplane to Ohio, though. They're going to visit my mother while I have to stay here and work -- go figyah!

[Japher]

debeest and Ned... in perfect harmony.

Santa Cruz is nice. Stagnaros, yum.

[debeest]

Ned n me is bezt budz. Sometimes I wonder if I've ever met him around town.
