Tell that to Norwood. A city in a resource-rich western nation that is about as fiscally solvent as Albania. - Civvik

From the West Chester IKEA thread, by Maximillian:

 

Wal*Mart is proposed for the old Ford Plant in Fairfax

Yay! More lead toys and poison Chihuaha chicken strips.

 

It's Dayton.  They'd probably serve you sweet tea at the top of the garage.

"He's from Dayton.  It's easy to walk in a crackhouse and not blink."

 

ColDayMan reassuring David that ForeverGlow (from Dayton) will be fine if he accidentally walks into a gay bar while visiting the Short North in Columbus. Thanks ColDay - almost had to clean beer off my monitor for that one.  :lol:

 

Hahahahaha

"I'm as confused as a baby in a topless bar. " - Oakiehigh

"Those who are pro-Breuer tower, don't ask the county PR guy about it haha.  Needless to say he doesn't think too highly of it."

 

Well I don't think too highly of that atrocious salmon-pink shirt he was wearing but you don't see me spending taxpayer money to shred it, do ya?!?

 

Priceless.

He was also sporting a mullet and poorly-fitted pleated khakis... I'm sorry, I just think if you're going to have a strong opinion on aesthetics, at least LOOK like you understand good aesthetics in the first place!

MayDay:

"Not that I'm familiar with the culinary joys of dog excrement"

 

In response to ks5214's impression of a putative customer saying a restaurant's food tasted like dog (modell).

 

I'm reminded of the time I was at K&K Meats and a wierd customer said that Giant Eagle's butcher shop "didn't have (modell)".  I couldn't resist observing that the health department wouldn't approve if he did.  It went blasting over his head like a demented Warthog pilot buzzing the Peace Show...but the employees got it :)

The other evening the multi-color light display was this sort of scrolling rainbow and it looked like Genius was at gay pride event!

 

-BallHatGuy, talking about the new backdrop for the Genius on Fountain Square.

I wonder if suburbanites know some of us hate going to the burbs as much some of them coming to the city.

"I usually ignore chicks until I'm drunk, and then see what happens (or doesn't happen). They think there's something mysterious about me, even if I am ugly. Then I pull the whole "I hooked up with you last weekend on Palmer, so that's why I'm giving you a booty call at 3am." It sadly works sometimes."

^Only Cdawg...

Freudian slip! Freudian slip!!!

^ Good eye, David ... good eye.

It's not how big your dick is, it's what you do with it. Toledo does plenty (top-class art musuem, top-class zoo, rail hub, Ohio transportation hub, big office market, Ohio's busiest port, etc.). Toledo does more with its 6-inch dick than Dayton or Akron do, and that's why it has nationally-ranked institutions.

 

Sure, they're all in the 6-inch dick crowd, but Toledo gets ass from two states, a province, and can do it on a Great Lake, river, and the sand dunes. Dayton can do it on a creek. Akron can do it in a canal lock.

 

-C-Dawg, in the [defunct] "Short North Toledo" thread.

It's a Michigan superiority complex. Toledo has the water, art museum, and resources that Columbus would kill to have. Columbus is a blown-up college/capital town built on a couple of creeks and ditches. YEAH.

 

-C-Dawg, same thread.

This is one of the funniest things EVER written!!!

I hate snapping turtles.  They're ornery bastards. - X

^ To be fair, C-Dawg claimed that "downtown Athens has the state's highest rents".

 

Which I don't believe.

 

 

Classic.

For those that don't know, Bill Cunningham is nationally recognized for being a conservative closed minded a$$hole. Of course they gave him an XM radio station.

Grasscat has the guts to say what we've all wanted to.

You mean you didn't see a play on "Cleveland+" coming?  We've got bad marketing.  Together.

I don't know how anyone could live in Sharonville and not be on Zoloft.

When you know more about what's wrong, you can help make it right.

 

And another winner from David:

 

"I took pics when I went to a Native American Pow Wow in honor of POW MIA, with a few family members. I was White Hawk. My mom, well...she was (bi)polar bear."

 

Congratulations, Joe Deters, you've just been named Cincinnati Jackass of the Month.

Just a quick gripe, has anyone else noticed the fake second story facade on that new Target plaza at Great Northern? Who approved that?

 

Fortunately, I haven't noticed anything in North Olmsted for a long time.

 

Good one.

Next up:

 

"Gosh, I went to Cleveland and it was just like Detroit!  Empty fields along Euclid and those duckbills are hideous but atleast downtown Cleveland is cool!  Except for that parking lot infront of the Terminal Tower.  Gosh, gee golly wee...that is huge!  You guys should do something about it.  Oh well, here are my pics!"

 

Cue MayDay with Stark renderings.

Cue the pope for Detroit positivity while subtly bashing Cleveland.

Cue ColDayMan for "Nice pics!"

 

And badda-boom, 40 replies.  Try it sometime.  Oh wait...don't.  Or you'll get suspended. - ColDayMan

(in the midst of a discussion over whether it is a "streetcar" or a "trolley.")

^I was just about to quote that. Haha pure gold.

in response to the question of whether or not new office and residential projects in downtown Cleveland need to include new parking garages

 

It's funny when people who don't live Downtown seem to want us to be an instaManhattan.  If you want that for downtown, please do me a favor and open a full service, late night grocery store/household goods store/bookstore/music store combo with a food court open outside office hours, and also please either build transit to or convince my family and friends to move within service range of RTA.  Then I'll be more than happy to live your carfree urbanite fantasies out for you.    -X

 

Well thanks for nothing d!ck. - UncleRando on George Voinovich and his reply to voting on Ohio rail.

I thought UncleRando said that.

^---Grasscat...UncleRando...what's the difference? lol

 

Thanks for the correction though ;-)

I wonder what Freud would say about this infatuation with tunnels!!!!    -DanB

 

 

From the funniest/most amusing thread on UO:

 

David offering a suggestion as to how to keep the "gaymigrants" out of the US:

Are you suggesting we line our borders with braided belts and pleated khakis? It'd certainly be enough to scare them off. Better yet, we could be more cost effective by using Steve & Barrys apparel.

 

KOOW's suggestion:

What about cell phone belt-clips? Golf shirts? Successories?

 

Then David's response to MTS in regards to their side discussion:

Come on MTS you know you try on a nice pair of Gap pleates khakis in front of the mirror when no one else is looking. I dip my fries in ranch dressing when no one's looking. We all have our vices.

 

This stuff is priceless.

In Ohio, 23k a month would get you property in a neighborhood paved with gold and firehydrants that shoot out rainbows of skittles.

Fishman, I have no interest in reading about a group of people that base their lives on being souless.  Yes, we all know you people don't believe in "the gods".  If it isn't "the gods", please tell me there isn't some new sector of atheism that believes we're here by aliens.  And you should really stop acting like me reading up on the subject of atheism is going to change what it is.  It is what it is.  Don't run from it.  Don't act like it is more than what I just inferred it was.

 

Again, you atheists and religious right people deserve each other.  You think you have some big secret that no one else has.  And that everyone else is stupid but you.  There's no difference in those people on the far right and atheists.  You may have 2 different end results, but your motives are the same.  It's shameful.  No offense.

 

Live and let live is what I believe.  But that doesn't mean I have to vote for your kind.

Wow. And the gift that keeps giving too.
