NEW YORKâ€"At 4:32 p.m. Tuesday, every single resident of New York City decided to evacuate the famed metropolis, having realized it was nothing more than a massive, trash-ridden hellhole that slowly sucks the life out of every one of its inhabitants.

That's pretty funny. And i came to the conclusion a while ago that NYC makes people insane.
Every day during my commute home, I curse that place and say I'm going to quit and never go there again.
There must be something in the air that makes the traffic misery addictive as I still come back every day.

completely understandable....when you are living in a crusty sphincter,, an armpit looks attractive

I actually live in Ventura County, which is beautiful, btw.
It's more of a prevailing attitude people have out here that makes it the suck. :P
There are some paces in the U.S. that are not so great but i have to remind myself would I rather live in Olangapo Philippines, or in the Slums of Panama City Panama? Or how about Tijuana? Compared to those places N.J. sounds terrific.
Tijuana is not that bad. Juares? No make the beast with two backsing way.
When I realized NYC was turning me into a monster:
Walking home from work, devouring a bag of doritos because I hadn't had time to eat all day, a random bum on the steps of Port Authority asks "Can I have a chip?" I proceed to throw the bag at him (fed up with being harassed by bums while walking anywhere) and shout "Next time get your own make the beast with two backsing Doritos. I had to work all day for mine!"
Ya, I quite my job and moved to Texas shortly after that.
Sure is a fun place to visit, though!
Lol. I can't wait till time is up here and we can leave to texas.. 1521 days and counting..
Like Desmolu, NYC did some monstrous and unpleasant things to the nice Oregon boy I thought i was.
I didn't understand it was time for me to leave Manhattan when passed out drunks would routinely appear on our front stoop.
I did figure that out when i came home one day and one of the men I'd stepped across that morning was surrounded by police & EMTs and had a sheet over him.

That list sucks. Memphis has the best BBQ and hence can't be in that list. I do agree with putting Miami in there.

I have spoke with people from Kansas city and Dallas who would beg to differ. However I do agree that Memphis has good BBQ and some good drinks down on Beal. [drink]
Everyone's BBQ is the "Best" just ask them. ;)

Yes it is and it's nice to come home.
My "I have to stop working here moment" came when I was heading to a meeting on the upper east side. I was running late. I took the subway. The train stopped and a gentleman in our car fell to the floor. There I was in the tube of hell, stuck. I could see the panic in all our faces. Several of us wanted to push him off the car so they could get the train moving again. We weren't completely heartless, I think it was the 59th St stop. There's hospital at that stop! I think the poor man had a heart attack. I'm sure he was late for some sort of meeting which is what caused the heart attack.
Fun place to visit.

Only Memphrica has the International BBQ Competition and the hogs to prove it.

And that man cleaned up his act, got a job, and became known as "El Matador".
