To me, Milwaukee is that bad. The city loses population and jobs significantly every single year. The manufacturing sector that ruled here is pretty much dead, and the populace is unprepared for more highly skilled technical work. In addition, the state's brightest members leave the state and go elsewhere, hence the term "brain drain" used to describe the decreased human capital that results from this process. To add on to this, the poor education that the masses receive from public schools here leads to disenfranchisement and crime. I'm sure these elements are really attractive to companies considering re-locating to this region (yeah, right!). These conditions will surely land Milwaukee in the fate of Youngstown, Gary, Detroit, and other dead manufacturing cities with undereducated citizens. The "skilled" folks will eventually jump ship and leave the place, which actually already occurs annually.
I'd love to know where all these brains are going, because every single city in the midwest and northeast suffers from "brain drain" (or pull the "woe is me") Florida is loaded with senior citizens who are senile anyway and I actually haven't heard anything out of the ordinary about people moving west. So where are they going? Cleveland paper = brain drain, Akron paper = brain drain, Detroit paper = brain drain... all I can figure is that most of the brains are in India to begin with.
As far as the scale of insulting cities
least Chicago - Atlanta - New Orleans - St.Louis - Oakland - Washington DC - Cleveland - Detroit - Baghdad - Youngstown / Gary / E. St L. most
Hey Graf,
Actually, the highest level of job growth is occurring in the southeastern and southwestern United States. It appears that these "brains" are opting for areas with pleasant climates where jobs are available. Opportunity is simply less plentiful in the Midwest (which is one of the many reasons why I hate it), so the people that remain are less skilled and mobile (employment wise) with obvious implications for new job growth, service quality, etc. This probably underlies the large out-migration of those that migrate to Milwaukee. The talented do not stay here very long, at least as far as I've seen (i.e., I can't speak for all organizations in the city, obviously).
There is no excuse for missing the $1 T&J LP at 7 a.m. That shit is worth more than $50 on the eGhey. You are so dumb for that. On the other hand, buying rackords from that picky, wife-commanding lawyer prick who was playing a conga like a madman at his house was a good move and going to TJ to buy LPs was also a good move. Getting a headache waiting in border traffic to get back to SD was not. Getting Phil's BBQ for dinner was a very good move. Getting overweight is not.
Dearest Rackords I haven't touched or seen yet,
Don't worry, I will find you and make you mine or trade/sales fodder.
Dearest Rackords in my sell stacks,
Don't worry, I will get to you SOON, I promise.
Dearest "records,"
Who the hell are you?
Dearest Aleit,
You are truly that dood. Good catching up with you! May your newly acquired LPs be not-so-warped and in good shape for me to buy !
For reasons that aren???t clear, 'whilst' has survived in British English but has died out in the US. However, in Britain it is considered to be a more formal and literary word than its counterpart.

but i thought it was all about originality and not tacky college humour....no?
See, this is where international differences come into play. Like all those BCC comedies they play over here on PBS. You're sitting there, they say something that sounds completely benign, the laugh track kicks in, and you're sitting there like, "What the fuck?"
It's kinda the same thing in this situation. If you're waiting for subtle humor that's... not funny... well, I don't think you'll find it here.
There's plenty of non-subtle humor that's not funny, though.
