    I used to pick up at Newark tenements when I worked for a private ambulance company. Not the most fun I ever had. Then I used to go with friends to parties in the PR part of the Bronx, and that was fun...but we were protected, long story. I recall being rather tipsy at one party and disco dancing with a very pretty PR girl in the kitchen of a small apartment just packed with people. It was tough but if we stayed close it could just be done.

    Living in Jersey had its occasional upside...close to NY.

      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

        I approve of seeing MOBIUS crushed repeatedly by Naked Gents Rut, by the way.

          Wyoming is, contrary to Drake's assertion, full of the nicest people in America. Sure, the can kick your ass, but they don't want to. They are just about the friendliest people I've ever met.

          South Wyoming is pretty much desert (sage brush and not much else). Northern Wyoming on the other hand, well, it's pretty easy to see why the Indians fought so damn hard for it. It's so beautiful.

          If you aren't into nature, though, there isn't much to do. Wyoming is the smallest state in the union by population.

          Idaho, on the other hand, is all beautiful . . . except for the people. It's amazing what a difference a border makes, because the nicest people in the country live next to the rudest people in the country.

            Wyomans are salt of the Earth. Very proud of their native son, Dick Cheney.

                The only real difference is Utah's crackpots are polygamists and Idaho's crackpots are militia/neo-nazis. (Both groups like to build heavily armed compounds in the middle of nowhere...) So if you're a teenage girl, you're safer in Idaho, and if you're black and/or a Jew, you're safer in Utah. But the only thing to fear for most will be dealing with Mormons always trying to be nice to you and get you to church functions...
                Yep, one side tries to get you with green camouflage, the other tries to get you with green jello.....

                ACK!

                  I never said otherwise. I'd love to live in Wyoming.

                  Sure, the can kick your ass, but they don't want to.


                  They will want to kick FrostyBoy's ass, if his online persona is any indication. He's exactly the type to condescend to salt of the earth Western folk. He only needs to talk down to one cowboy to get his teeth kicked in...

                  Very proud of their native son, Dick Cheney.


                  Dick Cheney was born in Nebraska. We'll happily share him with Wyoming, however. They're good people out there, unlike all those d-bags in Colorado.

                    The Wyomans had the good sense to elect Cheney to Congress, thus starting his glorious career.

                      I like to think that Nebraskans would also have elected a gentleman and a scholar of Cheney's stature to Congress.

                        The Drake v. Moby trollfight is more entertaining.

                        As for the OP... weren't you the one who was ripping on US infrastructure and raving about how much better Singapore was? Why move here then?

                        The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.

                          Singapore's in the ****ter. Hence my question of whether he was laid off.

                            Idaho is also a Mormon state, btw, although it is flooded with Californians these days.

                              So is Utah, and to a lesser extent, Wyoming.

                                When someone uses the phrase, is also, you don't have to point out something everyone already knows.
