I have never been to Cinncinati, but God is sounds like an embarrassing place to be from, especially in sports.
Pete Rose goes without saying. Gambler, overall asshole. His boss Marge Schott was fired as an owner for being a Nazi. The sports world considers the Bengals a laughingstock. Ugh.
Larry Flynt is from there (ewwwwww.) The inventor of masterbation and sleaze himself. That’s ugly. The movie "The People vs. Larry Flynt did not even film there because cinncy would not allow it.
A bunch of kids were stomped to death before a Who concert in 1979. Pete rose was placing bets the over on the death toll of 100. Double Ugh.
And what’s worse is that Baily quarters has never set foot here.
PS “I SWORE I THOUGHTTURKEYS COULD FLY!”
The Town Without Pity got that nickname after the vice squad raided the art museum for putting on a Robert Mapplethorpe exhibit.
Lately, there has been even more racial tension than usual (and there has been a lot over the years), based on actions by the mostly-white police force in the black communities.
If there’s a GQ, as opposed to a Cincinnatiphobe rant, somewhere in this thread, I’ve yet to find it. Would somebody be so kind as to highlight it for me?
Pete Rose may be an asshole, but he is one of the greatest baseball players to take the diamond. I think few persons who follow baseball will dispute this statement.
The Bungles may suck during the '90s, but if you look back over the past 30 years, I would nominate the Detroit Puddy Tats as the worst team in pro football. The Bengals won a couple of division championships in the 1970’s and at least made 2 Super Bowls in the '80’s, losing, but coming quite close to the 49ers (26-21 and 20-16 were the scores of those Super Bowls.) Kenny Anderson and Big Mouth Boomer Esiason couldn’t quite match the incomparable Joe Montana.
Get real, Fong. Masturbation was invented millenia, if not myriads, of years before Flynt was born.
Those kids died by accident. And I would like a cite that Rose bet on the death toll. Pete has his problems, but I’ve never read anything to indicate he is that callous.
You need to read the thread descriptions so that you post correctly. The randomness of your points would probably be beter posted to IMHO or MPSIMS. GQ requires that you be looking for a factual answer.
You get points for liking “Baily Quarters.” You loose points for misspelling her first name. It’s “Bailey.”
And, as Peyote pointed out just ahead of me, you’re gonna have to learn to research you material. You need a cite for Rose betting on the death toll. Pete would probably give you 10-1 odds that you can’t find a good cite that he did it.
Moderator’s Note: As already noted, this forum (General Questions) is for questions with factual answers. In My Humble Opinion is the correct forum for “frank exchanges of views on less-than-cosmic topics”; The BBQ Pit is the forum for rants and “flames”. Descriptions of each of the forums can be found on the main index page.
