    Forgive me, I was being nice. It's a constant problem of mine. I pretty much got it.
    NOTE: when you see the "slammin' drunk avatar"...I'm prolly well on my way.

    Let me say it once again.
    Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana,
    That's the town that "knew me when."
    If you'd like to have a logical explanation
    How I happened on this elegant syncopation,
    I will say without a moment of hesitation
    There is just one place
    That can light my face.
    Gary, Indiana,
    Gary Indiana,
    Not Louisiana, Paris, France, New York, or Rome, but--
    Gary, Indiana,
    Gary, Indiana,
    Gary Indiana,
    My home sweet home. (said with Ronnie Howard lisp)

    Bakersfield? Yo, homey. Oildale is the shitpatch of the west. That's Bikersfield, brother. I knew were insane living in SD county!

    Ya know, I never understood the irony of that song until I started driving a truck and actually spent some time in Gary.

    Oildale, Taft, the whole fuckin' area is a shithole. You could throw in Modesto or Fresno or pretty much the entire Hwy. 99 corridor south of Sacto too. I just picked Bakersfield because I figured people who don't live here in The Golden State would recognize it.

    Probably should have thrown Midland, TX in there too. It's far worse than Houston.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Asheville NC rocks.
    Atlanta has kind of turned into a generic city in Texas.

    That's right and why?
    Because Bakersfield is a vile breading ground for pot smoking child molesters. The Prosecutor there had no problem pinpointing and indicting child molesters.
    Hell! Seemed like they caught one or two everyday!

    That's like drying your clothes over and over after a single wash cycle because you think you're getting rid of more lint!
