No no no. You guys gotta follow the link! That's why I put it there; so people could read the article and know what they're commenting on. "New York City brings up the rear, followed by LA and San Francisco" - meaning LA is second-to-last, San Francisco is third from the last. I can understand San Francisco, but the only thing that makes sense for LA is that they must have figured out Tom Cruise lives there.

Um, the nekkid hooker sillouette goes on the grill.  The mudflaps are Yosemite Sam bearing both pistols with the words,  "Back Off!"  below.  No damn long-horns, that's only for cadillacs.  You do need a rebel flag license plate on the front bumper.  Damn Ven, get your knowledge of redneckology up to speed.  [8D]

I'm sorry but Combos are disgusting. I mean, we're talking hard limit here. Potato chips and pretzels fine, even his propensity for eating sausage, and worse for breakfast, can be accepted. But Combos? Squick is all I have to say.

...who do many manly things in many manly ways, manlier than any men anywhere else in America. Nashville has just laid claim to being the Manliest City in The United States!  New Yawk City brings up the rear, so to speak, followed closely by LA and San Francisco.

Minneapolis ranks 18th., shouldering aside such wimpy wannabes as Cleveland, Detroit, Baltimore, and Boston. And Chicago comes in 46th! Any of you Blackhawk fans wanna make something out of this?
