KJP is on a roll!

 

There is no point in defending the mayor to tedolph. At this point, I've become convinced that when tedolph and Frank Jackson were kids, Frank stole tedolph's GI Joe with the Kung Fu grip and later used it as a marital aid.

Oh this was good

 

Raising kids is like dorm living.My kids are drinking the Beast...I totally understand what you mean though. It's too bad we drink so much milk.

 

It may be cheaper to just feed them calcium supplements and Beast; it will also make them more docile (or aggressive; it depends on what kinds of drunks they are).

I've experienced this living in Cincinnati for 40 years.  They so want to be Cleveland!

 

Oh, I was rolling on that one! LOL!

Im in the pest control industry and i blame prostitutes. They get them from the john's and the prostitutes spread them from place to place.

 

...about bedbugs.

In response to tedolph's comment "peak oil won't happen anytime soon if we can figure out how to safely drill 5 miles below the Earth's crust" KJP replied "To do what? To reach that oil-filled nougat center???"

 

Now every time I picture the earth in my mind all I see is a large chocolate ball filled with caramel.

You know your neighborhood is gentrified when the local bodega stops selling 40’s and crack pipes and starts selling fine wine and produce.

No, but I vaguely remember a time when the Daily Show used to be funny and original. Then Craig Kilborn moved on to bigger and better things.

 

This quote is so good because it really requires defining 'bigger and better things' downward so far that it stops meaning what everyone actually knows 'bigger and better things' means and starts meaning the exact opposite.  Also, Kilborn must be pissed that CBS imported an immigrant who will work for peanuts (it's my constitutional right to have baseless opinions) to replace him on The Late Late Show.

From the Ohio Governor Election 2010 thread:

 

I did not see the debate ... but I'm betting that Boreas saw what he wanted to see.  I'm kind of wondering what he'll say if Kasich wins.  Probably accuse a few million Ohioans of being racists and retards.

 

LMAO!

From the: Tea Party Right-Wing Radicals/Liberty movement Thread

 

Funny how conservatives were worshipping the ground Bush walked on until the effects of his ideology started becoming apparent (Iraq boondoggle, Katrina debacle, economic meltdown, you name it) and his approval ratings took a nosedive. Now they're all claiming he was never a conservative. Because in the wingnut fantasy world, conservatism itself can never fail; people can only fail conservatism.

 

In a way they're right, though: There's nothing conservative about today's right wingers. They hate the idea that government even exists, and they want moral values to be dictated by a 3000-year-old piece of literature. They want a radical re-ordering of our economic system based on Ayn Rand's delusional ramblings.

 

So yes, we should stop calling the teabaggers "conservative", and call them what they truly are: right-wing radicals.

From the Cleveland: Local Media News & Discussion thread

 

"Coy" haha...the Coy pond...Does it taunt you to go swimming only to be too shallow?

I'm surprised no one picked this one up ... I thought this was pretty funny!

 

Cleveland is like crack cocaine for urbanism junkys.

I don't care how conservative she is, at least Boehner.

In response to the Best Movies thread:

 

Ummm, two words "Old Yeller"

 

I think I was 7 or 8 when I saw it. Never saw the ending coming. Completely traumatizing.

 

Come to think of it, if it's a Disney movie, with an animal in it, one of those animals is dying.

 

 

Anyone ever see Watership Down as a kid? They decided to show that to us in my 6th grade class. Again, sobbing, oh the horrible sobbing. "The bunnies...noo.....the bunnies!!"

I hate Disney movies about animals for that very reason.

This is a pretty classic rebuttal from ColDEMON:

 

I don't know what Ann Arbor you're talking about but the one I know is full of boring white people, quiet Asians, ain't-been-black-since-the-80's-blacks, and ... Hayward/North Andre.

This is gold- talking about the Jesus cologne:

You've eaten his body...

Dude I can't take credit for that (I wish I could). I was just mocking the video that was posted.

From the Huck Finn censorship thread.

 

"This won't be the the first time kids will hear this and other racial slurs, and I think it's important to recognize that it was used in a hateful way, not just as something that peppers hip hop.

"You're all whippersnappers."

 

From Rob, of course. 

I'm not one of those customization people with anything I do.  I've never modified a bike and I can tell irritate the guys at the bike shop since I've never taken off stock stuff they think is uncool.  I can tell most guys who work at bike shops don't like the lone wolves who clearly bike a lot but don't participate in any bike subculture stuff. 

^

...becuase its a lot about "community" and 'subculture'. 

 

Lone wolves don't fit into scenes like that, be they bikes or other things. 

 

 

Well, so is tossed salad but it's still on restaurant menus.

 

Priceless!

>There's your fundamental difference between liberals and conservatives

 

The fundamental difference is that democrats get the middle class mad at the rich and republicans get the middle class mad at the poor. 

I have found a bright side to most of the announcements at the Banks, but WTF is the deal with two chain country music bars at the Banks?  Cincinnati has been doing just fine with none, so adding one...I suppose it's something new.  But two, really??  Maybe they can fill the rest of their spaces with piano bars.  If they need a chain I would have rather seen a House of Blues type venue down there than a a second country bar.  Maybe they'll sell wrist bands that get you into both bars during the weekend and have a mini redneck Midpoint.

 

Quoting the whole post for context, but the last line is what really cracked me up.

 

At least if you do go over there we can expect some better dressed athletes.  Some of the things you se these guys out in is embarressing.  Although it does prove the point that money doesn't change you personalty, it just allows you to show more of it (for better and worse).

Nice to see MTS and DanB on the same page.  I can hear the champagne glasses clinking as they toast each other.

 

Maybe we should rename this board SmugOhio instead of UrbanOhio.

 

 

Slightly edited for spelling.

In response to the sign going up for "Toby Keith's I Love This Bar and Grill" at The Banks:

 

Predicting a bird will build a nest in the "o". 

LOL!!!

ColDayMan:

 

Hä!

 

In reference to:

 

The Las Vegas Monorail is also the only privately built public transit line in the country, so it deserves an asterisk.  Or maybe an umlaut.

 

 

 

I can see why employers are so risk-averse these days. They're worried everyone they hire could be a potential hipster.

Pure awesome:

 

Don't try to deny it. This whole thread has been nothing but trash talking and city slamming...just look at the following quotes. I defy any of you to say you never said these things!!

 

Columbus already sucks

 

Columbus was the only ohio city

I'm glad somebody posted that!

 

I'm one for never spending money in or at a Brand where I've had issues.  So I understand you pain.  I haven't set foot in American Airlines, Saks or Ralph Lauren in at least 10 years.  If Saks was the last department store, on earth, with a Prada in store boutique and I could only get there via American Airlines I'd, I'd wear something out of trash before setting foot in store or getting on an AA plane.

AJ93 reacting to a construction photo of the 1/4 complete Earnst & Young 20-story tower in the Flats:

 

"^Completely vacant, no windows, no furniture yet, and what's that plastic stuff on top. Typical Cleveland Boondoggle. I miss Higbees."

Beat me too it!

You two are addressing two different issues.  Boreas' point of emphasis was on the tinfoil hat theorists who think that climate change is nothing more than a hoax, being utilized by the radical, gay, islamist, communist left to enact social reforms, spread the wealth, and mandate weekly anal sex.  Gramarye is addressing issues you only reach once you take off that hat and start thinking rationally.

 

All the men like the mandate...don't you?!  >:D

In my experience you could carpet a baby's room with razor blades and be fine until the kid starts walking or escaping.

People who make fun of people who say they don't watch TV are like hipsters who say if you complain about hipsters you are one. 

 

Agreed.

Went to Toby's Kieth's last night for opening weekend and it was indeed packed by 11:30. It's quite a large space and essentially feels like a sports bar with a live music stage. No cover, but drinks were on the more expensive side for Cincinnati ($4 for a domestic bottle)

 

The mix of people was straight-up weird. Lots of UC kids, YPs and even some hipsters, and then much of what I imagine the real target audience is for this place if you get my drift...

 

While this is not really my kind of place, I can guarantee that most of the people in there last night were from the suburbs and came into the city just to check it out. More people coming into the city to see the real progress happening, the Banks especially, is definitely a good thing.

 

I'd like to ask you a few questions about this place.

 

Did you love the bar?

Did you love the grill?

I was seriously expecting a reply when he asked that!

Just a perfect description of C-bus:

 

 

 

Every time friends visit from Cincinnati they comment on how big everything is in Columbus. Big apartments, big roads, big lots, big warehouses. Columbus is Ohio's Texas.

It also has some of the coolest, densest, neighborhoods in the state as well.

The above quote may not have been intended as an insult, but it could be perceived that way.

I take pride in my city. Fact is, Columbus does have some parts of town that resemble things seen in Western cities.

It also has some of the coolest, densest, neighborhoods in the state as well.

I apologize if it was (and i kinda thought about it an hour or so after I wrote it).  I do enjoy going down to C-Bus as both my sisters are down there.  Especially the Victorian Village, Short North and German Village areas.  its just unfortunate how disconnected DT feels at times.

Indianapolis, however, is fair game. Slam away.
