Now You Have Even Less Of An Excuse To Be Dateless
 |
Yes, we're knew we were all pretty ugly, but it's hard to take it sometimes. Philadelphia people were by far the lowest-ranked of all the several categories (see chart), but we really didn't do well anywhere except Culture. (Food did pretty well, too.) Apparently, all of us ugly folk sit around and appreciate great art and theater. Oh, and Philly ranked #3 in "sports fan's vacation," which is kind of surprising.
One has to assume people who took the poll just didn't know many of the things we have. For example, Philly ranked 14th in public parks, i.e. nobody knew where to take the SEPTA bus -- which probably wasn't running anyway -- in order to get to Fairmount Park. (Or, more specifically, Belmont Plateau, which is just so, so awesome, but that might be the cross country runner in me coming out.)
Anyway, Philadelphia needs to turn around our rankings in this meaningless poll. So let's get our fat, annoying, ugly asses out of our chairs and yell at tourists until they rank us higher. I'm pretty sure that'll work.

Ha, I skimmed over that one without seeing it. Perhaps the new South Street Bridge, designed almost exclusively for cars, will move our ranking even lower!

Philadelphia has some of the worst looking women I've seen. If your lucky you find one or two a day worth looking at, and even luckier if they were actually born here.

We must not frequent the same sections of the city. I see quite a few on a daily basis who are quite fuckable.

I thought the only people who read Travel & Leisure were the ones waiting to see the dentist?

I ran into a tourist yesterday and yelled "I'm very handsome! Very handsome, I tell you!"
Just doing my part to improve our image as a city.
