    30. Because we know Sex and the City is a crock of shit. ²

    31. Because we know Friends is a crock of shit.

    If this list were 25 years earlier, that'd so be Diff'rent Strokes and The Jeffersons.

    Thank you

    Because of the 6 hour grace period between when we have a snowstorm, and it's still all nice and clean and peaceful, and when it turns into a nasty, stained, wet, slushy mess.

    This made me inexplicably sad. Perhaps it's just that some asshole rang my buzzer at 5:30 this morning and I can't sleep anyway and this snow! Anyway, it all seems both wonderful and entirely intolerable.

    Because the idea of "New York" has died.*

    *I'll be crass in stating that 1998, and, in particular, 2006 unleashed the mouth-breathing masses onto the city, looking to find a place for them. Those who made it, congratulations. Those that didn't, get the fuck on. Those two years, specifically, lent me mornings of seeing fresh grads crying into the shoulder of their Patagonia's, trying to decipher the "how" and "why" aspect of their lives. Things were far too easy during those times, and the juniors not only ravaged the city with their voting power, but also prolonged the "I'm extremely important, and have a great deal to offer this world" thinking. I love New York because Entitlement is Finally Fucking Dying.

    P.S. I really enjoyed my cigarette tonight with the 30mph winds and intense snow drifts, you bags of fuck. Our bars fucking suck.

    By the way, regular commenters, I made a #SaturdayNightSpecial tag page for you if you want to go wax on SNL. Right here:

    Maple syrup? Have you been in the vicinity of 30 Rock in the springtime? Streets and San is spraying vanilla to cover the olfactory wow of the bums' urine. That does not smell like maple syrup to me.

    Otherwise, numbers 17, 45, 60, 78 and 85. And 91. Fabulous.

    I have yet to see someone naked in Times Square and the Naked Cowboy does NOT count.

    No mention of Channel One? No other city has anything like it. Chicago's CLTV is close, but no cigar.

    Oh, and regarding Uniqlo -- please check out [www.uniqlo.jp] It's not set in NYC and yet it's delicious.

    41. Because we invented PNP.

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