    41. Because we invented PNP.

    I believe there's a certain city by a bay that would like to object to this.

    "Because you have the luxury of deciding which kosher restaurants are good or bad instead of just being grateful that there is one." #123

    I think this post is off-putting, btw, because Gawker's "voice" as a blog, as a whole, has moved so far away from the very Manhattan-centric feel it had at first. I pretty much hated this site when I first discovered it in 2005 (after Coen linked a blog I had then), but started loving it a lot within a year or so, as more bloggers were added and the subjects covered were more diverse.

    This is a wonderful idea, even if the inaugural vintage post chosen is incredibly off-putting to anyone who doesn't live in New York City. (Mind you, I LOVE NY, too. But it's still off-putting.)

    @RandomLunatic: Yeah, I figured that'd be the case. But as this was my favorite, and it's time-appropriate, we're rolling this out to start. Also, maybe some old-school might come out of the woodwork too? Who knows.

    @Foster Kamer: Sorry I didn't wait till you'd responded, Foster - I would have posted my response here if I had.

    Like I said, though - I think this is an awesome idea overall - and this is one of the few blogs that can justify doing such a thing.

    Because New Yorkers are so insularly provincial that they would never dream of living anywhere else, and everywhere else is so grateful for that. #123

    For even more trippy time-travel feel, I would have loved if you had also included the original comments.

    I'm already really, really liking this feature.

    See what I do when I'm in a good mood, kids? Best though is to find your future spouse at a pro-life gathering outside a baby holocaust gulag aka abortion clinic. As the hairy legged lesbionic feminists walk past you, you and your future DH/the wife can yell out 'babykilling slut!'

    OMG, like total jinxxx, sexxxy stranger! We said the same thing at once! Soul mates 4eva like totes! See? It's a way more heartwarming story than this one.

    Good things happen when you believe. Keep your hearts open, kids. Love will always find its way in.

    Off-topic, but when people note the difficulty of finding a partner in New York, I can't help wondering what more-gigantic metropolises they must have come from, in order to find the NY pickings so comparatively slim. Tokyo? Mexico City? Coruscant?

    @skahammer: I don't think the difficulty is so much in finding people, as it is in developing and maintaining relationships with them.

    @Niko Bellic: An uncommonly thoughtful response. You're still going to have a hard time convincing this ex-small-towner that metropolis-style numbers aren't overwhelmingly helpful there too -- but I can kind of see what you're getting at.

    @skahammer: when there are so many fucking people to fuck, it's more difficult to justify sticking with just one. Especially when the next person you meet (which, like niko said, happens often and easily) could turn out to be the most interesting person ever born or something. Basically, everyone has metropolis-induced ADD.

    Oh, so local populations don't get displaced by gentrification. Another reason Pareene was COMPLETELY WRONG in his anti-Bloomberg rant.

    The pool at my local community centre used to have "clothing optional" nights due to the heavy population of hippies, but they had to give those up when the yuppies started complaining. I mean, they were 10pm-midnight, it's not like Precious and Skylar were getting forced out of their baby aquafit classes so Grandpa could get his freak on or anything.

    Damn yuppies. Get offa my mushroom garden!
