You selling arrogant uppitness because NYC is so cool? Yup, it's the shithole that never sleeps. Triple parking way cool. NOT.
Really? Been to NYC once. No way in hell I'd want to live there. The worst slum ghetto in OKC is Nirvana compared to what you see in Harlem.
Don't get me wrong- NYC is a really cool place to live- if you can afford $2 million efficiency condos, and $500 buck dinners at the Four Seasons or Peter Lugers.
BTW Mic- I don't scare easily- I never thought there would be a place in the world where I'd be afraid to get out of the car ( pre cell pho0ne era) and make a call- I was wrong- in NYC. Make that call Jack, I'll cover you.
i'm not selling NYC at all. as a matter of fact i hate going into the city. i was comparing being able to go into NYC in minutes to actually see something than drive 2 hours to go to arbys.
i don't live in the city. i live in a village over looking the hudson river about 15 miles north of the city. taxes are sky high. housing costs are sky high. you know why? because people that want to start or move their family to a very nice place with great schools and still work in the city and make a king's ransom choose this area.
i live on broadway. yeah the same broadway that if you follow it south through yonkers and the bronx will take you to the 'great white way' (gay). sure you don't want to get caught in parts of the bronx or harlem, but that's anywhere. i can go 5 miles down the road into yonkers and drive down a tree laden 3 million dollar a house block, turn the corner and see a bunch of punks selling drugs.
just not cool to think that just because i live in ny that i'm some uppity asshole. don't forget i was raised in middle class sandusky ohio. hell i'll be the first person to say hi to ya. just living here chances are i won't be getting a response.

You can take Broadway all the way to Canada if you want, FYI. You can say you live on Broadway if you live in Plattsburg. It is not quite as cool as it was for my next door neighbor's son who, until earlier this year went to work at the address that was 1 Broadway, New York, New York.

all of the other places we've resided (Augusta, Atlanta, Baltimore, D.C., Virginia, St. Louis, and of course Northeast Ohio.)
are you a band of gypsies or migrant workers?
I can't tell you how many kids I've grown up with who thought they hated it here, moved out west or east and within 2 years moved back here. Why you ask? Because most of the people they come in contact with are self absorbed pricks who, for example, have no problem making rash assumptions of a place or people without the slightest clue as to what their talking about.
well most places have people that actually have places to go and people to meet, not just drive around doing 35 mph on the hwy in the left lane with their blinker on for 8-12 hrs a day. my advice to you is stay there because you couldn't deal with what people here deal with every fucking day of their life. does it mean it sucks? no. would i rather be in ohio where i grew up? hell yes. but what we make in 4 months here we couldn't make in a year there. i know people that rent 2 level 4 bdr homes where i'm from that cost less than what we pay for a 2 bdrm apt. BUT i'm a 30 min train ride away from the biggest city in the world. not a block away from a pile of horseshit and the ginsu knife factory.
and to all your friends who couldn't take it in places like ny because of pricks like me: tell 'em to stay out the kitchen if they can't stand the heat.....unless of course you're making red beans and rice. taco.

Imagine that, the "cultured New Yorker," unable to sustain a legitimate argument with the "small minded redneck," resorts to name calling, weak insults, attempted intimidation, and grossly inaccurate assumptions. Let me guess, in your next retort you will assume that all Oklahomans live in tepees, bloodletting is still the medical procedure of choice, and these fancy horseless carriages are currently all the rage down here. The fact of the matter is you started talking out your ass, I corrected your asinine statements, you got your feelings hurt because you got shown up, and instead of being a man and owning up to your false assumptions, decided to try and prove you are some how a part of some type of superior race because you can survive in the "biggest city in the world," a feat accomplished by over 8 million people on a daily basis. You know what, have your fun. If your feelings are so hurt and you need to disparage an entire state to help you feel better, go right ahead. Stay classy.

I think you may in fact underestimate Oklahoma as a tourist attraction. It may not be #1 in America, but it is not devoid of things to see and do there. There is the Cowboy Museum in OKC, plus the OKC Memorial that is quite poignant. Chickasaw NRA. The Rose Garden and Philbrook Museum in Tulsa. Bartlesville is interesting, particularly the Frank Lloyd Wright Building there. Though I have not driven it I understand the Talimena Trail in eastern OK is quite scenic. There are some Indian Battlefield sites in the west.
Sure, it is not say, California in appeal, but it not devoid of attraction.

Oh it undoubtedly has it's attractions but so does every other state. I actually went to the Philbrook last week with the girlfriend. Downtown Tulsa has to be my favorite though. The art deco architecture is first class.

to have your feelings hurt a remark has to be made to you by either someone you care about or someone you respect. you are neither.

It makes perfect sense you have no respect for someone who brings factual evidence to an argument. You prefer inaccurate assumptions and nonsensical opinions. Now I realize you'll try to dispute this with another youtube clip and a partial reply but you have yet to man up for your factually inaccurate assessment of my state or, at the very least, even an attempt to prove me wrong. If you have any respect for yourself, you would at least attempt to defend yourself, in a factual way, or admit your guilt. Keep in mind real men have no problem admitting they're wrong. It is a bit sad that a 24 year old has to remind you of that.

So my ability to spell a word more then three syllables makes english my second language as well as my argument boring? Frankly I've already won the argument hands down. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. I'm just waiting for your concession and will continue to "yap" at you until do you. All it takes is a simple "yeah I didn't know what the fuck I was talking about." but your either too aggorgant or stupid (my money is on both) to simply admit fault. I don't give a shit about your Pink Floyd references or your attempted claim to Yankee stadium even though you live 30 minutes away from the actual city. Quite trying to change the subject like a 5 year old who knows their in trouble. Act your age and be a fucking man.

dude. STFU. it's old already.
i don't claim anything. the facts are the facts. yankee stadium is a 15 min train ride from the metro north station which is 2 blocks down the fucking hill from me and i rode it last night to see the concert.
where in billyfuck OK can you walk 2 blocks get on a train (no, not a wagon train) and go see thousands of different attractions, 5 star restaurants, #1 rated museums and parks and spend $8 on a bottle of water? yeah. exactly. i might go down once or twice a week now just to consult with old clients but does that mean i'm a NYC lover? no, i'm not.
ohio is my place of birth and where i learned loyalty towards my sports teams. high school: blue streaks. college: BGSU, toledo, cinci, kent state, akron, ohio and ohio state. hell cleveland state when they made it to the swseet sixteen years ago in basketball. pro: indians, cavs and browns. simple as that.
you and i went off topic on this thread a while back. you think OKC is the shit and i disagree. end of discussion.
oh yeah i said 20 miles from the city. my bad, it's 25. but i can make it in 15 minutes at 6 in the morn, drivin.....with no tumbleweeds or dead aardvarks.

Do they have aardvarks in Oklahoma? Maybe not, but they have armadillos.

they have armadillos.
duh...my bad.
-
Some species groups, such as the long-nosed armadillos, are widely distributed over the Americas, whereas others, such as the fairy armadillos, are concentrated in smaller ranges in South America. One species, the nine-banded armadillo, (Dasypus novemcinctus), is found in the United States, primarily in the south-central states (notably Texas), but with a range that extends as far east as South Carolina and Florida and as far north as Nebraska; and midwestern in Kansas;a they have been consistently expanding their range in North America over the last century due to a lack of natural predators, and have been found as far north as southern Illinois.[2]
Definitely think the Oklahoma Armadillos may have been a preferable name to "Thunder".

do u live anywhere near Storm Mountain, NY???

Yes, lets get back to the true premise of this thread....teams that need a name change.
Here are some candidates:
A. As I said, any team that presents itself as a singularity:
Thunder
Heat
Lightning
Wild
Avalanche
Jazz
Magic
B. Teams that moved that kept the same name that should not have as it has nothing to do with their home area or where the alliteration is lost:
Utah Jazz
Memphis Grizzlies
New Orleans Hornets
Brooklyn Nets (OK for NY or NJ)
Indianapolis Colts.
Oddly, the LA Lakers don't bother me, even though there are few lakes in LA, it basically works.
And the opposite...the LA Clippers should call themselves the California Clippers....and they should move out of the Lakers shadow by going to play in Anaheim or back to San Diego.
C. Teams that duplicate other team names:
Yea, Sacramento Kings duplicates LA Kings. This is bad on two counts as they were the Kansas City Kings. KC was known for its "aristocratic" nicknames. The KC Monarchs were a Negro League team. Then there came The Royals...then the Kings, which worked alliteratively with KC, but not Sacramento. Plus, they have had bad karma with that name...so change it.
I don't know why Winnipeg had to bring back The Jets name. Is the Aerospace Industry big there? Leave The Jets to NY.
D. OK, maybe the politically incorrect teams like Redskins and Indians could use a name change. The Redskins name was chosen for that team by an avowed racist: George Preston Marshall. And if any name if offensive, it is that one. That would be like calling a team the Brownskins (which, perhaps, in a certain version of things that is exactly what the Browns name does....if you buy the "the teams was named after Joe the Brown Bomber Louis theory). Indians, Braves, Warriors etc. are not nearly as bad, but changing them wouldn't be so bad.
So, how do we fix some of these? Go with the following:
Some might be easy:
Instead of Minnesota Wild, just call the The Wilds
Instead of the Magic, call them The Magics (local HS here: Barberton are The Magics. It works)
Why must the Nets be the Brooklyn Nets. Brooklyn is still part of NYC, just call them the New York Nets. That is what they were to begin with.
The Memphis Grizzlies can become the Memphis Black Bears.
The Indiana Colts can become the Indiana Racers
Then we would be left with fixing the following:
N.O Hornets to ????
Utah Jazz to ????
Miami Heat to ????
Tampa Bay Lightning to ????
Sacramento Kings to ????
Oklahoma City Thunder to....Tumbleweeds?
Colorado Avalanche to ????
Winnipeg Jets to ????
Washington Redskins to ???
Maybe even Cleveland Indians to ????
Columbus Bluejackets to....Derechos????

all of the other places we've resided (Augusta, Atlanta, Baltimore, D.C., Virginia, St. Louis, and of course Northeast Ohio.)
are you a band of gypsies or migrant workers?
I can't tell you how many kids I've grown up with who thought they hated it here, moved out west or east and within 2 years moved back here. Why you ask? Because most of the people they come in contact with are self absorbed pricks who, for example, have no problem making rash assumptions of a place or people without the slightest clue as to what their talking about.
well most places have people that actually have places to go and people to meet, not just drive around doing 35 mph on the hwy in the left lane with their blinker on for 8-12 hrs a day. my advice to you is stay there because you couldn't deal with what people here deal with every fucking day of their life. does it mean it sucks? no. would i rather be in ohio where i grew up? hell yes. but what we make in 4 months here we couldn't make in a year there. i know people that rent 2 level 4 bdr homes where i'm from that cost less than what we pay for a 2 bdrm apt. BUT i'm a 30 min train ride away from the biggest city in the world. not a block away from a pile of horseshit and the ginsu knife factory.
and to all your friends who couldn't take it in places like ny because of pricks like me: tell 'em to stay out the kitchen if they can't stand the heat.....unless of course you're making red beans and rice. taco.

Mik, NYC is not the biggest city in the world. I think it ranks 19th or something.

dude. STFU. it's old already.
i don't claim anything. the facts are the facts. yankee stadium is a 15 min train ride from the metro north station which is 2 blocks down the fucking hill from me and i rode it last night to see the concert.
where in billyfuck OK can you walk 2 blocks get on a train (no, not a wagon train) and go see thousands of different attractions, 5 star restaurants, #1 rated museums and parks and spend $8 on a bottle of water? yeah. exactly. i might go down once or twice a week now just to consult with old clients but does that mean i'm a NYC lover? no, i'm not.
ohio is my place of birth and where i learned loyalty towards my sports teams. high school: blue streaks. college: BGSU, toledo, cinci, kent state, akron, ohio and ohio state. hell cleveland state when they made it to the swseet sixteen years ago in basketball. pro: indians, cavs and browns. simple as that.
you and i went off topic on this thread a while back. you think OKC is the shit and i disagree. end of discussion.
oh yeah i said 20 miles from the city. my bad, it's 25. but i can make it in 15 minutes at 6 in the morn, drivin.....with no tumbleweeds or dead aardvarks.
do u live anywhere near Storm Mountain, NY???

Yes, lets get back to the true premise of this thread....teams that need a name change.
Here are some candidates:
A. As I said, any team that presents itself as a singularity:
Thunder
Heat
Lightning
Wild
Avalanche
Jazz
Magic
B. Teams that moved that kept the same name that should not have as it has nothing to do with their home area or where the alliteration is lost:
Utah Jazz
Memphis Grizzlies
New Orleans Hornets
Brooklyn Nets (OK for NY or NJ)
Indianapolis Colts.
Oddly, the LA Lakers don't bother me, even though there are few lakes in LA, it basically works.
And the opposite...the LA Clippers should call themselves the California Clippers....and they should move out of the Lakers shadow by going to play in Anaheim or back to San Diego.
C. Teams that duplicate other team names:
Yea, Sacramento Kings duplicates LA Kings. This is bad on two counts as they were the Kansas City Kings. KC was known for its "aristocratic" nicknames. The KC Monarchs were a Negro League team. Then there came The Royals...then the Kings, which worked alliteratively with KC, but not Sacramento. Plus, they have had bad karma with that name...so change it.
I don't know why Winnipeg had to bring back The Jets name. Is the Aerospace Industry big there? Leave The Jets to NY.
D. OK, maybe the politically incorrect teams like Redskins and Indians could use a name change. The Redskins name was chosen for that team by an avowed racist: George Preston Marshall. And if any name if offensive, it is that one. That would be like calling a team the Brownskins (which, perhaps, in a certain version of things that is exactly what the Browns name does....if you buy the "the teams was named after Joe the Brown Bomber Louis theory). Indians, Braves, Warriors etc. are not nearly as bad, but changing them wouldn't be so bad.
So, how do we fix some of these? Go with the following:
Some might be easy:
Instead of Minnesota Wild, just call the The Wilds
Instead of the Magic, call them The Magics (local HS here: Barberton are The Magics. It works)
Why must the Nets be the Brooklyn Nets. Brooklyn is still part of NYC, just call them the New York Nets. That is what they were to begin with.
The Memphis Grizzlies can become the Memphis Black Bears.
The Indiana Colts can become the Indiana Racers

Columbus Bluejackets to....Derechos????

Why would you want to change the name of the Bluejackets? A man with an appreciation of history such as you should recognize the significance and reason for the name Bluejackets.
