Chicago is to New York as Pyrite is to spanish dubloons.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

Midwest hicks!

[RandomKoolzip]

1. Wow, you're right.

Good for you. Hey, by the way, can you make sure you bring the ever-present scent of Noo Yawk urine with you when you come visit me?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

3. A day in NY without sidewalk vomit is no day at all

And we're proud of it!

[RandomKoolzip]

6. Oh, and hey, since you're already in the bathroom/kitchen/living room

of your cracker-box apartment that rents for 4,000,000 a month, can you fix me an omelet while wiping my butt?

Besides which, Chicago has the lakefront trail. (sigh) You should come visit. There's so much of this place you haven't seen, bro.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

7. Well - since it never gets much below 20 degrees here I can actually go outside

year-round.

I'd love to come out again - but there's this whole school thing....

[Critters2]

2. It's true because it's true. nt

[XNASA]

And the straw fell out of my mouth into the cuff of my bib overalls.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

12. Go and bed down with your sister, Cooter!

Damn hayseeds.

[XNASA]

14. The jokes on you!!!!

I'm way ahead of ya.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

16. D'oh!

[terrya]

10. You should have seen what that Arnold Ziffel did today!

He never ceases to amaze me.

Oliver and Lisa Douglas send their best!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

13. Y'all tell em go on home now, y'here?

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

15. Ahem...

That's "y'hear". Don't try to do the accent, son.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

17. Dude - you're from Connecticut - you pathetic shit!

Word is bond

[matcom]

18. Boston kicks BOTH asses hands down

NY - feces-laden streets & rude people

Chi - 4 degrees in august & shitty pizza




























:hide:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

19. Boston......um - beans? A once great basketball team noone remembers?

:shrug:

[matcom]

21. the Red Sox, North End, Samuel Adams

etc...etc...etc...

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

26. Hell Boston is better than Chicago too

I'll give you that.

I did acid there a few times. No complaints.

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

20. Hey, what about the Big Dig?

That's something to be proud of, right?

:sarcasm:

[matcom]

22. a modern marvel

:rofl:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

28. And Uncle Grandpa

I can walk like a penguin!

[Rabrrrrrr]

23. I'm not joining this argument!

:popcorn:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

24. There's no argument - it's a statement.

NY is better than Chicago.

[datasuspect]

25. yes and superman can beat batman

and my dad can whip your dad so NYAAHHH!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

27. You're dad would cower before mine

And that's a fact

[datasuspect]

30. i was just joking

my father is actually deceased. his ass stomping days are long gone.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

31. I actually have 3 dads due to my mom's marrying escapades

so it was a joke on my part too

[rug]

29. At least the Hudson River ran in the right direction in the first place.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

32. and has never been dyed to look clean

[rug]

34. And it runs into an OCEAN.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

35. as God intended

[krispos42]

52. I don't think enough dye exists to make the Hudson look clean

And how much fun it is to pay a toll to leave your apartment???

EZ-Pass, folks, EZ-Pass. The government needs to keep track of where are are and where you're going.

[wildhorses]

33. asheville is to paris as grape juice is to wine

:yoiks:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

[wildhorses]

40. biltmore house, grove park inn, hot springs, haywood street

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

Hippy wannabees

[wildhorses]

49. yeah, they're jealous of the seven sisters

bunch of granola heads...sheesh:P

[redqueen]

39. hahahahahahahaha

:hi:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

43. Hello my queen

*curtsies*

[sir_captain]

41. Haha. You speak the gospel truth.

I'd say the best thing Chicago has going for it is Ferris Bueller's Day Off. ;-)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

44. They do have the Sausage King

[XNASA]

50. You can leave me out of it, thank you very much.

Although my actual title is "The Kielbasa King".

[Radical Activist]

45. Excuse me while I gag thinking about that shit New Yorkers call their pizza.

I'll take the Frank Lloyd Wright buildings and other Chicago architecture over some bridge any day.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

48. Real pizza comes from New Haven but that's not the point.

As for architecture we've got Stamford White and the best parks on the planet.

[greatauntoftriplets]

46. Ahem. Chicago has me. New York doesn't.

We win.

:P

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

47. Now there's a convincing argument finally

*bows*

[krispos42]

51. Skyscraper envy

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

53. Wow that's ONE big building.

*yawn*

[northzax]

55. so big an impressive

that not even Osama bin Laden wants to blow it up, right? It must be because of the architecture.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

56. Chicago wishes it was Taipei

[northzax]

54. oh, now that is just low.

serious.

[krispos42]

57. No, New York is low. Have fun when the poles melt!

The Brooklyn Bridge will make a nice pier, I think.

In the meantime, I'll stay in the Twin Cities area. :-)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

58. Like the Lakes won't rise. Have fun swimming 1 day a year in the streets

The Ice skating wil be nice I bet.

[krispos42]

60. Midwest is in a drought, ice caps melt into the ocean

Lake Michican is almost 600 feet above sea level.

You'll soon be living in the Midwest anyway once the East Coast is part of the Continental Slope. Welcome!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

62. Not when I can't wear a tshirt 11 months out of the year

I'd head for North Carolina

[krispos42]

65. Another point in the Cities' favor:

White Castles galore, open 24/7 :-)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

68. There's one 3 blocks from me

[krispos42]

69. Lucky dog!

Although it's probably better for me the way it is now...

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

70. Thank God they don't deliver

I'd be dead :)

[northzax]

59. yeah, 25-30 degrees of warming

and maybe y'all won't have to spend all winter in the world's largest shopping mall.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

61. Has it ever gotten to 20 below in NY?

I don't think so.

[krispos42]

64. Like it matters. I have a thermostat!

And I wear T-shirts or short-sleeved button-down shirts year round anyway :-)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

66. Outside Chicago year round doesn't mean August

:P

[krispos42]

63. 2nd largest, but we're working on it

Oh, and the Twin Cities rank 13th in healthiness of it's citizens, Chicago 29th, NYC 43rd

http://www.bestplaces.net/docs/studies/healthy_list.aspx

Looks like all that mall walking and deep-dish pizza is good for us Midwesterners.
:-)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

67. what you call pizza is more like a casserole

NY pizza sucks too. It's all about New Haven when it comes to pizza:

[krispos42]

71. Sally's? Look across the street! PEPE'S!!!!

Just don't go to The Spot, though.

Modern Apizza is pretty good, too.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

72. Modern is great - ate there New Years day

To be precise Sally's and Pepe's are on the same side of the street - Now Tony and Lucille's restaurant (not their calzonne shop which is on the same side as Sally's Pepe's and the amaxzing Liberatto's dessert shop) is on the other side.

:D

[northzax]

73. you mean a Hot Dish?

that there's some darn tootin' good eats!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

74. are thore tater-tots in there?

*drool*
