Merle Haggard is the only thing on Bakersfield's resume.

Since I actually like Cleebland, I'll have to look into visiting Detroit.

I think you lose your Pittsburgh street cred for admitting that.

In some sectors. The sector that hates me now also hates to cross a bridge or exercise or crack a book. Fuck those Hunkies.

Are you talking about The Crew? Did you just call The Crew Hunkies?

I didn't expect you to take all that time out of your night, but I get it.

PS, that bullshit fucking video doesn't count.

[Screw_Michigan]

So fucking what? A bunch of abandoned Packard Plant pics everyone has seen since the 60's? Go fuck yourself. Nothing new here. I've been in some shitty Detroit hoods at 4am and I'm living to talk about it. Can't be that fucking horrible. Just watch your backside, as Pacino says in Heat.

OK, that was funny, as hard as it is for me to admit it.

Seek out and rejoice in The Funny. Do not shun or begrudge The Funny, due to its origins. Should The Unfunny gift you with a pleasant surprise, give thanks for the aberration, and consider it your lucky day.

Besides, Coods has always had his moments.

Detroit is now more dangerous than Baltimore.

Detroit's homicide rate worst in nation
Santiago Esparza / The Detroit News

Detroit -- The city has earned the dubious distinction of having the worst homicide rate of any municipality of more than 500,000 residents, according to the Associated Press and Baltimore Sun.

Detroit had 339 homicides in 2008, not the 306 reported to the FBI and released to the press this week. Detroit Police Spokesman Rod Liggons said the department reported the correct numbers to the state, which then submits them to the FBI, according to the Associated Press and Baltimore Sun reports.

The change pushes Detroit's homicide rate to 37.4 per 100,000 residents, just ahead of Baltimore's rate of 36.9 homicides per resident, according to the reports.

Baltimore had been reported as possessing the nation's worst homicide rate.

Detroit police officials were not available for comment this morning.

To get back to the original topic of the thread, I think Neal Peart said it best.

Big shots try to hold it back.
Fools try to wish it away.
The hopeful depend
On a world without end,
Whatever the hopeless may say.

Count me in with the hopeful, if only because that's the only position I can stomach.

As to armpits of the world, nothing in the U.S. is remotely comparable to Alexandria, Egypt. Soot on all the exterior walls. Yecch.

You'll see. Just wait until Lebron suits up for Alexandria.

So, you just go with the hopey changey deal then, cause it doesn't make your tummy hurt so much? I prefer the whack the shit outta fukkers you really don't want to see get it, instead. Beats hoping until a fukking mushroom cloud goes where NY used to be.

Terry, did you make it to Cairo? Quite possibly even filthier than Alexandria.

I saw a bus in Alexandria which, I shit you not, had to have over 200 people, in, on and hanging off of it. The hey joes along the water front were kinda fun though. Even better than the ones in Naples.

After visiting that place, Naples didn't look/smell near as bad. I would still list it as rat capital of the planet though. Apparently all the rats in Alexandria had been hunted down and eaten already. Or maybe it was just too filthy for them.
