[cokey]

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.

Everyone's BBQ is the "Best" just ask them.

Sure is a fun place to visit, though!

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.

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!"

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