I know what I'm doing next time I'm up in Atlanta.

/surprised Atlanta was the only GA city up there.

Only at Who concerts.

I've known this for a while.

Any people that would put cinnamon in their chili must be insane.

Nice to see my old stomping grounds Milwaukee come in at number 4, but I'm sure the "drinking" portion of the judging boosted their overall total.

I do, however, take issue with their assertion that the Big Mac guy from "Super Size Me" counts as a "colorful local character." Ask anyone in Brewtown who they'd nominate for that position (like the alternative weekly paper does every year in their readers' poll), and he wouldn't even come up.

The "Pepperoni-Cannoli Guy," on the other hand...

Atlanta is the only GA city that is in the 57 largest metropolitan areas.

Would claim the prize, but that might alert the phone cops.

I don't know about crazy, but it is a backwards hell hole.

According to Mark Twain, Cincinnati is 10 years behind the rest of the world, so we haven't noticed that you've left yet.

Cincinnati, where you can ask a waitress at a restaurant for a three-way and get exactly that.

/Relax, it's Skyline time.

"Step right up and claim your prize Cincinnati. You are the craziest city in America"

Cincinnati's a prize?
 
2010-03-12 03:46:18 PM
As a Cincinnatian, I have to ask--Can we have our own tag yet, please?

/Only half crazy

Crazy Law: If attacked by a criminal or burglar, you may only protect yourself with the same weapon that the other person possesses.



That's farking retarded. A "same weapon" law should only apply to dueling.

Did a lot of truck driving in Ohio,the armpit of the nation. All of it's big cities eat dicks.
 
2010-03-12 03:47:35 PM
I lived in Cincinnati for two years. I can concur; that place is freakin' nuts. Ultra-conservatives railing up against a pretty large gay/lesbian population, race riots, picketing anybody over anything, and homeless people from hell.

/worst 2 years of my life
 
2010-03-12 03:47:38 PM
Austin ranks 3rd in eccentricity behind New Orleans(1) and San Francisco (2).

Looks like we might have to switch from "Keep Austin Weird" to "Make Austin Weirder"

Skyline Chili. Hudepohl Beer. Bowling...meh.

WAIT!! SUCKERPUNCH SALLY'S CUSTOM MOTORCYCLES!

You spent 2 years at a Jimmy Buffet concert? Who exactly is the crazy one here???

I was born in Ohio, and from what I've heard on Fark, I should thank my parents for getting me out of there when I was still a baby.

Hey, we finally won something. It must be time for a drunken riot!

I am outraged, OUTRAGED that Pittsburgh comes in at only #18. To hear ESPN tell it, we're all a bunch of fries-on-the-sandwich-eating, Terrible-Towel-waving, binge-drinking lunatics.

We only wave the towels on game day.

And San Diego's only #22? Either it really toned down after I left, or the writer is from there. That place was always goofy.

FREEWAY!!

That's only because there's nothing to farking do here.

if it weren't for the fact that Cincy is mostly equidistant to Atlanta, St. Louis, Cleveland, Chicago, and other theatre cities, I'd have left years ago.

Also, schattenteufel's assessment is dead-on. Fark the ultra-conservatives. Fark 'em in the ear.
 
2010-03-12 04:00:01 PM
charlotte only the 55th craziest? that seems right i guess. I bet the city is high in "retard" though. too much redneckery.

Most of Cincinnati is just fine. It's the freaking west side that's gotta be skewing these results.

you mean the part that actually has local flavor and doesn't feel like it could be any generic affluent suburb in the entire midwest?

As someone who has lived here for 16 years now, and regretted a lot of it (Was dragged here by my family when I was 9...)

He's right. There is *NOTHING* to do here.
