    Nice town.

    And I think Norfolk is the folking sponsor of this shit; jesus, it's nice, but it ain't that nice.

    I think I'll try it with just the West Coast picked, no humidity, no beach, no river/ocean, and see if Norfolk comes up. If it does, I'm calling shenanigans.

    How does Clarksville, Tenn., make anybody's Top 20? Did I miss the question that asked about availability of crack hos?

    No.. I clicked that I AM a crack ho (you know.. on the occupation section) and it gave me Little Rock and Clarksville.

    Or not. Either way, I dunno, but it made mine.

    Did you check the "snow" "cheese" and "hillbilly" boxes?

    Snow? Yes. Cheese? Hell yes.

    Hillbillies? Hell no. Can't explain the Arkansas cities on my list, though I've been to Fayetteville and it's not bad.

    Bubbler --
    We have nearly identical lists.

    But I could never root for the Brewers...

    Bubbler, I got some of the same city suggestions, too.

    1. Corvallis, Oregon
    2. Medford, Oregon
    3. Fayetville, Ark.
    4. Hartford, Ct.
    5. Charleston, W. Va.
    6. Little Rock, Ark.
    7. Eugene, Oregon
    8. Bend, Oregon
    9. Frederick, Md.
    10. Danbury, Ct.
    11. Providence, R.I.
    12. New Haven, Ct.
    13. Portland, Oregon
    14. Salem, Oregon
    15. Baltimore
    16. Cape Cod
    17. Shreveport-Bossier City, La.
    18. Alexandria, La.
    19. Boston
    20. Worcester

    and oddly enough

    21. Carson City, Nevada
    22. Albuqurque, New Mexico
    23. Sheboygan, Wisconsin

    I call WTF on these three, because I specifically asked to avoid those kinds of areas.
    Who knew I should be living in Oregon instead of Texas? And there's no F-ing way I'm going to live in Louisiana.

    Sure you could, it's easy.

    If you've ever aimed low in your life, like aspiring to become the become the dude who holds the stop sign during road construction, then rooting for the Brewers comes easy. None of those pesky championship aspirations will do, we strive for mediocrity.

    What you might not fathom, Zeke, is being a Packer fan. Since I'm guessing your a Minnesotan, you might not know about this one game. It's called the Super Bowl. The Packers have been in it four times, winning three.

    The Vikings have been in it four times too, but not before Fran Tarkenton became more famous for wearing a hideous yellow sportcoat on That's Incredibile! Also, all but one of those appearances occurred closer to the World War II era than the present day.

    :D
