I've had a NY pizza and it was certainly the most *foul* pizza I have ever
had the misfortune of not being able to avoid eating (*inlcuding* McCain
frozen pizza). It was soggy, in fact, *wet*, the topping slid off the base
like scabs slipping off a weeping sore, and it fell to bits. Only a sample
of one, I know, but on the stength of that, {NY Pizza}--

NY cawwfee, OTOH, really impressed me. I loved it. Merkan diner breakfasts
are great. Bacon and waffles and pancakes and syrup and eggs over easy and
home fries. They were very fulfilling indeed.
But what is it about NY toilets that only about three of them flushed
properly during my entire visit? Almost every time I or the people I was
with went into a kludgie, we found it blocked up by a grim combination of
ordure and bogroll. Didn't matter where we were, the hostel we stayed in,
the diners we went to, the tourist attractions, any publicly-available lav.
Ewww.
Oh and mm, turkish coffee. Yowsa.

Well I guess that means that the Chinese make the best firearms (they invented them), Europeans make the best wine (they invented the vile muck), and Sweden produces the best bloodthirsty maniacs (they invented them). Which is of course wrong. Russia makes the best firearms, Australia makes the best wine, and .us produces the best bloodthirsty maniacs.
