Post your reasons why no human should live here.

Rath! You need a hug!

All my hatred is directed toward Texas, and I'm kind of a one-state guy.

Hi Cal!
I still adore your avatar!

Once you've been to Billings, Montana, New York is a veritable paradise.

I don't know, it IS where the Manhattan elite live and they're just plain evil.

There are just no good lesbian bars. I prefer Kansas City.

PEACE.

I like the island Manhattan
Smoke on your pipe and put that in!

Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia

There's a nice lesbian bar in Billings. It's only open on Wednesday afternoons, though.

The roaches are the only reason NOT to live in NYC (and the mice).

Other than that, NYC is the best place on earth!

It's time to end my lonely holiday
And bid the country a hasty farewell.
So on this gray and melancholy day
I'll move to a Manhattan hotel.
I'll dispose of my rose-colored chattels
And prepare for my share of adventures and battles.
Here on the twenty-seventh floor,
Looking down on the city I hate
and adore!

Autumn in New York,
Why does it seem so inviting?
Autumn in New York,
It spells the thrill of first-nighting.
Glittering crowds and shimmering clouds
In canyons of steel,
They're making me feel
I'm home.
It's Autumn in New York,
That brings the promis of new love;
Autumn in New York
Is often mingled with pain.
Dreamers with empty hands
May sigh for exotic lands;
It's Autumn in New York,
It's good to live it again.

Autumn in New York,
The gleaming rooftops at sundown.
Autumn in New York,
It lifts you up when you're rundown.
Jaded roués and gay divorcées
Who lunch at the Ritz,
Will tell you tha "it's
Divine!"
This Autumn in New York
Transforms the slums into Mayfair;
Autumn in New York,
You'll need no castles in Spain.
Lovers that bless the dark
On benches in Central Park
Greet Autumn in New York;
It's good to live it again.

~~ Vernon Duke, 1935

Cheer up!

No one? Okay, I'll start then.

Tonight, it took me three soaking wet hours to get home due to "weather conditions" causing subway stoppage. This is on top of the three hours it took me to get home one night last week because of a completely different "weather condition" that caused major delays.

Might as well throw in the tourists who think it's adorable that the subways are so crowded at 8:00 a.m., and cute that they can squeeze into the trains and leave the suits on the platform to wait for the next train and be late for work.

Sorry Rath.

I walk to work most mornings because I can't stand the waits and crowds on the Red Line. I went downstairs last night to get home and waited fifteen mins for a train, so I ended up leaving the subway and walking home.

Thank God for papa and his genius ideas that no one else would ever in a million years think of on their own.

"Are we still allowed to smoke there?"

Not at any Marriott after October.

Rath, I hope you are feeling better. Take deep breaths.

Glebb, keep thinking "Cinderella".

Jose, as a former moderator, you should know that posting an entire lyric is against the rules and regulations of the board.

Even more so, it is a slap in the face of the copyright holders.

I strongly suggest you go back and edit your posting down to a SNIPPET.

Thanks in advance,
PalJoey, on behalf of the Vernon Duke Estate

evidently it hadn't occurred to you. i'm just trying to help the less fortunate, as always. it's my generous and compassionate nature to help those who so obviously cannot help themselves.
