I thought that this New York video was hilarious, in spite of the fact that Taco Bell is my favorite restaurant:
Fashion
New York: When spring begins to bloom, New Yorkers shed their ubiquitous black coats and we are treated to a world class fashion show (although in neighborhoods of my price range it is more like spandex midriff halters highlighting muffin tops that Little Debbie would be jealous of-ok that was corny, I admit it).
Chicago: I don’t know where to start with this one. Yesterday we were lucky enough to enjoy 70 degree weather and Chicagoans celebrated the occasion by committing Fashion Jonestown* 2010. Striped polo shirts with plaid shorts, spandex ensnaring beer bellies in a vice-like grip, t-shirts with “clever” messages (How To Keep An Idiot Busy For Hours: See Back of Shirt)- my Midwestern pride suddenly seemed fatally misplaced.
Winner: New York. However, I prefer Chicago because I am suddenly one of the best dressed, instead of a bottom feeder.
* Mass suicide
Economics
New York: Items on the fast food “dollar” menu have random prices like $5.78.
Chicago: My dad, Big Willy, pays for everything and I suddenly can go to sit-down restaurants.
Winner: Clearly, Chicago
And one more Chicago advantage-spending time with my favorite guy, my brother Baby Troy. I had a picture of him making a weird face with a straw in his mouth as my cell phone wallpaper. One of my students saw it and said, “Who is that hot guy?” When I told them that I had a teen baby brother they asked, “Why doesn’t he go to this school?” I replied, “He’s not even Muslim, you can’t marry him anyway.” With a dreamy look in her eyes, a girl whispered, “For someone like him, we can make exceptions.”
Today’s Winner: Chicago

That video about the rats in KFC/Taco Bell made me sick. That is sick.
ReplyDeleteYeah for being with family members who have more money than you...getting taken out to dinner is something I LOVE.
I'm glad that Farmer John is not the only dad whose daughter has a special nickname for him.
ReplyDeleteI, too, enjoy the food at chicago (bc BIG Willie foots the bill) and I totally agree with the Muslim teen, Baby T is definitely worth an exception!!
