> [@The King of Soup](#): > > I don’t know why you’re picking on midgets riding the subway – _they’re_ not part of the used car urban uglification blight – they use public transportation. Of course they’re part of the problem. Midgets take the subway **because their car is sitting in their front yard with a FOR SALE sign on it**!!! God damn, good for nothing, car selling, public transit taking, eyeless, old lady zombie midgets. This county is going to hell in a beater. ---

> [@The King of Soup](#): > > If someone’s left a car on your property, call the cops and have it towed. Of course, in your town they’ll be towing it at hundred-mile-an-hour speeds back and forth across a crumbling eschatological cityscape populated by whores (sorry – WHORES), ogling midgets, evil blind old ladies, cannibals, and (worst of all) suburbanites looking for a decent low-mileage Mercedes for Junior to take to college. When you put it like that, it kinda brings the glamour back to his decaying city. You should run for mayor! ---
