Don't forget that to get that thing moving forwards you actually have to peddle backwards... Just the thing after a bucket of stella.

The only permissible walking is from your table to the bar and back again. And the odd visit to the khasi after several pints.

Yeah, they might get hit by a car when trying to cross the street.

Why are New Yorkers always pissed off?

The light at the end of their tunnel is New Jersey.

BTW, NYers are not as pissed off as Hollywood shows them. AAMOF, they are probably more helpful when it matters than many other municipalities, and a lot more tolerant.

The whole thing is, they are less tolerant with BS, especially when it comes from someone that should know better.

Easiest example are tourists (mostly American, most Europeans do not do this) that stand in th emiddle of a crowded sidewalk, in a group, at rush hour, looking about like lost children.

Would they do this in a mall? would they go to a theater and stand blocking the entrance while they looked at the available seats? No, but NYC is so different than the limited world they have been exposed to, their minds fizzle and they spend time looking up at the skyscrapers with their mouths open.

Clue: Keep your mouth closed when looking up in NYC, you never know what may drop into it from above!!!! ;)

I liked NYC.. the people were cool. 98% of them walk around with their iPods. Down by NYU, they all look the same.

Riding the metro takes a day or two to learn the routes.. and they were cleaner than I had expected.

That's one of my pet peeves... Why do people in open places tend to stand in the worst possible areas, such as hallways, stair wells, and doorways?????

Well some other hired thug would do such work and your tax money can actually start working for you then. Irony would be hiring a thug that was a tourist and got stuck in the US of A.

I think that is what everyone else did, and look where that got us!

"Give us your poor, your tired, your huddled masses staring up at the sky with their mouths open" was the first draft of what was put on the SOL, but the French thought it would be too mean to do that.


Truth hurts sometimes, ya know?

Which is more funny:

An European Tourist in the USA or
An American Tourist in Europe.

I opt for the latter.
