C'mon, that's not fair to wooden spoons! Have you ever seen a Russian wooden spoon? They're beautiful, and a pleasure to eat with. Now, a plastic spork, that's another story.

When I think of a place that should be the 2nd largest city in the US, it should at least have some better transportation and be more walkable...Although Los Angeles is very dense, it still feels like one big, huge suburb, rather than an actual city...

I also really did like the Jewish areas that I visited and of course the local institution, Canter's! Is there something that so many others see in Los Angeles, that I don't? It just isn't really a city that I can see myself living in long-term or even for a few years...

ugggh...really?

there are certain aspects of LA that vegas can't even remotely compare to...and vice versa.

i have lived in both....love both. so yes, kid...there are many things about LA that you aren't seeing (the beach, the weather, the art, the restaurants, the farmers markets, the mountains, etc.). and lex, you watched a youtube video about sunset strip, a mile or so part of one road out of a city that encompasses almost 500 square miles. won't even get into what's wrong w/ that.

now granted...there are things i disliked about LA (craptastic public transport is a good example). but just as with LV, IMO, the positives remarkably outweigh the negatives.

Given Lex's proclivity for women, he should really be sure to check his kid's homework.

Right, because they are more prevalent in Vegas than they are in LA.

Note that most of the plastic women out here came from Southern California. Also note that the San Fernando Valley is the porn capital of the US.

Yup, it's the Silicone Valley.

Bah, humbug to you both! Hallmark's Day is nothing more than a bourgeois crypto-facist plot by the greeting card companies, candy companies, and florists to separate poor working sods from their hard earned money, when a good schtupping would suffice. I've never had a good one, and I never will.

You just haven't met the right woman yet

[aqualung8705]

No, but I've met her cousin, Ms. Wrong. At my age (43), health, and status, the odds are pretty d**n slim that I ever will. So be it.
