Great, now I'll have to dodge even more fannypackers on my way to pick up lunch. But, hey, it's a way to paper the house for shows that aren't selling anyway.
In other news, the Yankees are selling bleacher seats to the first exhibition games at their new stadium for a quarter. First opponent up? Cleveland. TIS THE SEVENTH SIGN.
@Almostbanned: I heard its the land of the mythical Cleve, a rarely-seen creature sporting a face like an overgrown basset hound and Drew Carey for a leg.
Nancy Coyne, you made New York Cleveland's bitch and you are a sucking-up boycott-fearing disgrace. You should've settled this right: pulled up your skirt and said, "Ever see an ass like this in Cleveland? I think not!" END of debacle.
Having once lived nearby, I can tell you that the Cleveland radio/cows can't afford string. So it's just two cows, farting gently into tin cans. In front of the burning Cuyahoga river. Which the fanciest of Clevendars use to cook their hobo soup. True story.
Michigan...this reminds me of the other great thing about Ohio. We fought our own war between the States - and we didn't even need the other states. I bet you wish you had Toledo now don't you Michigan?! (Actually, you are probably pretty happy with the Upper Peninsula. Funny how things work out.)
cleveland.com (Plain Dealer's webpage) is now running a story about Gawker picking up on their story about NY's anti-Cleveland agenda.
I have lived in the Cleve for 2 years, it is basically just as bad as you think it is. As a childless female attorney who didn't change her name when she got hitched (gasp! an assistant in my office claimed she'd never heard of "that")I am a freak in these parts. It's strange since I grew up outside Detroit. The fact that I went to Michigan also makes me pretty unpopular.
i find it pretty strange that the majority of the alter-egos represented herein are all at once engrossed, dismissive, and ill-informed. actually, i'm not surprised. most of the people commenting are likely just killing time at their specialized though pointless white collar jobs, whether they be based out of a rust belt town suffering for the misdeeds perpetuated by corporate america over the recent decades or a stifling megalopolis that has ballooned into a parody of itself. or in other words, some of you people–and i type that in a spirit of egalitarianism–are vapid, arbitrarily critical, and simply rehashing the same rote jokes. oh, so you watched that 30 rock episode, did you? or did you find the dig at cleveland in a final scene of wet hot american summer ever so titillating you soiled your favorite lynn ritchie silk skirt?! you don't say? oh! i like you! you're funny! well, i'd wager i could find far more crude, easily entertained, provincial individuals in the five boroughs than i could in either cleveland, or detroit, or st. louis, or chicago, or atlanta, or new orleans, or philly, or charleston (west virginia, of course), or portland (maine and oregon), or los angeles (ok, maybe not l.a.), or crawford (tejas), or that lovely connecticut town the hepburns would pass through on the way to their estate, etc. anyway, town pride and regionalism is some of the stupidest shit next to organized religion and silk screened blazers. and if you're trying to be funny, well, why not try mumbling it to yourselves or blogging about it (same thing). is anybody paying attention? but of course not.
