A Shout Out to My Readers...

In an effort to build up a loyal fan base ... I will now profile all of the cities that had visitors to my site this week (not counting Tewks' constant refreshing to try and convince me that his columns bring in more visits). Hey, it's not a tremendous column idea, but it's not like I'm previewing the penultimate games of the NFL Season six weeks prematurely:


#1: Chino, California

First in khaki pant fashion, first in your hearts.

Whoa... whoa... according to WikiPedia, "Chino was used as a location during the filming of the movie 'Back To The Future', particularly the farmland setting when Marty first travels back in time to 1955."

Chino, California: come for the pants, stay for the Hollywood nostalgia.

Here's the thing about Back to the Future: sure, Marty was pre-occupied with trying to save his life and get back to the 80's ... but he couldn't use his skills and knowledge of the future to seduce at least one woman that wasn't his mother?

You've got to hand it to the citizens of Chino though: when negatively depicted in the once popular show "The OC", the citizens and local government voiced their discontent to FOX. Apparently they thought the show had long term viability.

#2: Lincoln, Nebraska

Ah... here's a city in which I'm vaguely familiar: it's actually the capital of Nebraska... whereas I would've guessed Omaha.

Apparently the hub of Lincoln drinking culture is downtown on "O Street". Which gives drunken University of Nebraska students the greatest pick-up opportunity ever:

"Hey baby... you've seen O Street... now how about I take you to O Town?"

"I don't understand... you mean like that short lived boy band?"

"No... like an orgasm. **Awkward Pause** Go Cornhuskers Go."

#3: Richmond, Virginia

Apparently Richmond is ranked as one of the friendliest cities in America. Honestly... not too much to say about Richmond... hmm... birthplace of legendary womanizer Warren Beatty.

Richmond has the distinction of bringing the United States together - Patrick Henry's rallying Revolutionary speech, "Give me Liberty or Give me Death" took place in Richmond - and also tearing it apart, as the capital of the Confederacy.

The capital of the Confederacy. Is that thing still around?
No?
So racial harmony must exist in the southern states now?
No?
Then what was the war about?

All right kids... that wraps things up... and now for a piece of sports wisdom:

An athlete that gives up on his team is like a girl that gives up on a blowjob: you're better off on your own, taking matters into your own hands.
