Not to mention Mojo

If you don't know Mojo Nixon, then your store could use some fixin'.

-the Dead Milkmen, Punk Rock Girl

I'm pretty surprised by this tbqh.

well to be fair, i've never been to detroit.... except in the airport. and i remember there was an insanely hot janitor in that airport. seriously. she looked like a model, and she was a janitor.

You would probably actually like Detroit, except for the weather.

pros:

stunningly beautiful weather -- yeah, no. Summer and fall are pretty great tho.
fantastic food -- close. If you like middle eastern food Detroit is elite.
everything is open late, often 24 hours -- standard
tons of artists and weirdos -- we specialize in weirdos, so big pro here
beaches -- kinda, though Lake Michigan >>>> east side beaches
most beautiful women in the world -- lol, no.
tons of cinematic history -- tons of automotive history, push
celebs of all kinds, gangsters, crazy ass town -- no celebs, lots of gangbangers

cons:

traffic almost non stop -- lots of roads, traffic not bad
bad air, but not too bad -- better air than LoLA
bad tap water -- excellent tap water
the non stop sunny warm days get a bit weird after a while -- winter, man
helicopters -- no helicopters, probably about equal on gunshots tho.

Why not make his favorite meatloaf recipe to celebrate?

My 24 hour fitness opened a new gym to replace the old one near me. I noticed today that the new gym has three locker rooms - Men, Women and "All Gender"... lolololol

Welcome to California.

Seems problematic for them to exclude "no gender" people.

at about 3am in front of my house the other night it was quite dark as i was coming home. i said hi to the cute woman walking by. she replied in a deep husky voice "hi how are you?"

Great comparison, Booker.

I bolded the part I liked the most. BTW, how far is Detroit from Flint? Asking for a friend.

True story: Flint's water problems started when they disconnected from the Detroit water system.

And I forgot to ding the local roads - what we don't have in bad traffic we more than make up with potholes. Advantage LA.

There's a famous white "rapper" from Detroit iirc, can never remember his name.

I went to Ann Arbor a few years ago to visit some of my wife’s relatives, there was an entire major street that felt like it hadn’t been repaved or anything in half a century. It was like a horse trail out of the 1800s, only with concrete.

I am convinced that our politicians don't fix the roads because it would deprive them of the ability to campaign on a promise to fix the damned roads and they would end up having to talk about real issues.

Also, if I were inclined to believe conspiracy theories it would be real easy to believe that Big Asphalt and Big Concrete are in cahoots to continue using inferior products that fail constantly when there is a product out there that can handle freeze-thaw cycles.

His name is Kid. Kid Rock.

Or so I've been told. I know less about the genre than most suburbanites. It's pretty much a given that I would finish last in any sheep game with questions about the hip hop.

Edit: What's that genre of sheep called where the questions would be
Name a rapper
Name another rapper
Name yet another rapper
Name someone who raps
Name a MC

The latter is almost certainly true. But it's more about cost savings / higher profit.


The former is more of a funding issue imo.

If "Donald's" doesn't sheep the last question I'm never playing sheep again.

For the "It's a small world file":

On twitter, both Zurvan and Scott Manley (Of Kerbal fame) both liked the same photo of another tweet for a guy that has 470 followers.

Based on my knowledge, their internet spheres have to barely intersect.

This is the tweet. As you can see, it's something that is not really what I would consider "viral"

Eminem is from Detroit, amirite? What about Post Malone?

Watched The Big Lebowski for the (3 digits)th time. There is no bigger robbery in history than John Goodman not winning an Oscar for his role.

Something I learned today: There are only 2 countries in the world whose flags don't contain any red, white or blue.

One is definitely

Will try to think of the other.

I think I'm stumped on the other one. Libya and Mauritania would have made this list, but they both changed their flags recently.

oh, I was told Mauritania, which is obviously now out of date information.
