Paris, France or any other country that has a Paris in it. No need for explanations.

Or a really fast plane. The shuttle comes in at mach 35, I’d think you’d be able to get a good swath of florida with it.

Mine is Fargo, Nort Dakota. The most fucking boring city I’ve ever been to. I’m from Iowa so I have a really good perception of boringness, so just beleive me. Damn PGI kickbackees.

It’s **Pittsburgh** , thank you very much.

And **China Guy** , why Phoenix? It’s fulfilling its life-long dream to be Los Angeles, so why not piss on Los Angeles for being the inspiration?

No one has wanted to piss on an Oklahoma city yet. Interesting.

I want to hike my leg on TULSA. I’ve had to live here for one and a half years, and the traffic fucking sucks and the stupid fucks here don’t know how to drive. The people are decent, but you can get that about anywhere in Oklahoma. The thing about Tulsa is, is that it’s basically the largest city around this area, and every asshole from the surrounding areas drive here for their entertainment, and overloads the city with Driving Morons.

Kansas City, Missouri. (Usually I’d offer Kansas City, Kansas, but that city is a prime example of a place that needs no more urination. It’d be awfully redundant.)

Oh yes…any city in Oklahoma. Possibly Guthrie or Edmond the most, though.

For a city its size, it seems to have an abnormally high percentage of assholes.

The king of all assholes had to be the baggage guy at the Greyhound station in Spokane.

This was a few days after New Years, 1993. Spokane had been hit with a very serious snowstorm earlier, and the Amtrak passengers had been sent over to Greyhound, for the railroad was not in service. My bus to Portland was overbooked, and I found out at the last minute that my seat had been reassigned to a bus the following day.

I tried like hell to convince the guy loading the baggage onto the bus to let me get my bags out, for at least I would need the change of clothes, shampoo, toothbrush, etc. I even show him my ticket and baggage claim tag. He looked at me, snickered, and said, “They’re already packed. Tough.”

What ensued was the only time (so far in my life) that I’ve ever loudly and publicly cussed someone out. I wrote to Greyhound reporting the incident, and never got a response.

This is just one example of an unpleasant person I encountered at Spokane, but it is by no means the only one.

On Conan O’Brian last night, Larry Hagman was talking about when he was doing ‘I Dream of Jeannie’. He was also learning to fly at the time, and one time he attempted to urinate on the studio as he circled above it. He said that he learned that you can’t pee out a window at 140 miles per hour, it just comes back in…

I commiserate with your problems with Greyhound but let me assure you not all Spokanites are that way. In fact, I would argue what you had was more of a Greyhound problem rather than a Spokane problem because Greyhound–for all due purposes–the only long-distance bus service in the U.S. and can pretty much treat its customers like shit if it wants.

Still, there are an inordinate number of cranky and self-loathing people here in the “Lilac City.” I think most of them spend their spare time cruising all-you-eat buffets, calling right-wing radio talk shows, and writing letters to the local paper castigating it for its “socialist” bias.

Littleton, Colorado, oh hell, I’d piss on the whole damn state. Maybe put out some fires and do some good.  
Chillicothe, Ohio  
Las Vegas, Nevada  
Detroit, Michigan

Buford, South Carolina

Damn, Twisty beat me to Ballymena and Portadown, but I claim Larne, Craigavon and most of East Belfast.

Oh, and Albany, NY too.
