Oh, c'mon, Daily Beast. You don't fool us. We live here. We know that out-of-towners during the College World Series are distorting our numbers. And then there's Connor Oberst...

i believe that we here in Omaha deserve special dispensation for several contributing factors:
ReplyDelete1. you have to have a few drinks in you in order to speak to most single women in this town. sad but true.
2. no professional sports team. it makes life harder.
3. one of the most landlocked cities in the world.
4. too cold to leave your house without fear of freezing to death for 4 months out of the year.
5. we are right across the river from counciltucky.
6. try, just try, to have a intelligent conversation with a husker fan sometime. i dare ya. they are, for the most part, mouth breathing-fox news watching-scared of anything new-bush crime family worshiping-window licking-dumbasses.
7. the only time omaha rates high in any poll, it is for being one of the most 'affordable places to live' (nobody wants to live here) or being one of the 'highest per-capita drinking, drugging, STD-having, cousin marrying, worst weather, fattest, moron congressperson havingest, poorest city services, no culture havingest cities' (nobody wants to live here)
