But at least it’s a dry heat.

Only not. Not in Chicago. It may be called the Windy City but that has less to do with the weather than with the politics. Chicago weather has two seasons: too hot to fuck and too cold not to fuck.

I can think of only three cities that are even remotely as cursed as Chicago weather-wise: St. Louis and New Orleans for the heat, and Buffalo for the cold and blizzards.

The last first: Buffalo doesn’t fucking matter. If MTV finds it worthy of a frat Real World then it isn’t worth another sentence.

St. Louis is about as humid as Chicago, but that’s irrelevant. It has no bbq or other food scene for that matter (hell, its best known beers are made by Anheuser-Busch). Except for its sports teams which are perennial contenders and have great fans, no one could give two shits about it. Although Wash. U. St. Louis is a good school. So it’ll get props for that. But that don’t signify for anything.

New Orleans? ‘Nilla, please. It’s a pimp’s town. A certain respect has to be given to any town where Snoop Dogg can walk around for a few hours with a handheld camera (I won’t ask and don’t want to know about the other hand) and walk away with fat stacks of cash and enough porn to make Seymore Butts smile.

But Chicago is supposed to be the “City That Works.” It’s a fucking miracle that shit gets done here (although I’m sure nepotism and bribery have a lot to do with it). See, it’s par for the Chicago course: anything–and then some–for a buck.

But goddamn if I’m going to whistle while I work in this weather (although college ain’t work a’tall). For fuck’s sake, I ride air conditioned public transportation, but I barely get off the L platform and I’m soaked more than the limo upholstery in Assgasms.

I mean. I don’t look at porn. I don’t even know what it is. Porn, what’s that?

Look! Over there!

  1. uh i think you forgotst. louis has a HUGE bbq scene… infact i’ve seen many many sauces made in St. Loius Style. I have yet to see any Chicago style sauces. Famous Detroit saying… if you dont like the weather, wait 5 minutes. out average range is -5F to 100F extremes are -30F to 105Falso average rainfall round these parts have statistically been 1 to 3 feet more then there for the last 40 yearsdie hard

  2. again…But Minneapolis is a meaningless spot on the map and therefore its weather has no significance to well…anything.Bumblefuck, Montana is more interesting.

  3. US is luckyI lived in Scotland for a few months and you would get every fucking season some days. The rain was always ice water and it was always five minutes away. Then it would be sunny out (until the next large batch of dark clouds would roll on by.The place runs on the same damn lines as Alaska. What a shit hole.

  4. FoolsHouston is the worst city weather-wise. It’s humid as all fuck, it pours down raining while the sun is fucking shining and it’s 90+ degrees outside. Thunderstorms come out of nowhere, no matter the season. There is either no winter and the temperature stays in the 70s, or it starts in fucking October and stays in the 30s for months on end. Spring and Fall merge into one season known as \”TakeItUpTheAss…Beeyotch.\” And yet, I love that damn city.

  5. TardsNo, norstrin is the only one here who is right. I’ve lived in chicago my whole life, been to St. Louis in the middle of the summer, northern Wisconsin in early january (basically in minnesota but in a place that had a few people) but none of that weather was anything different from what I’ve experienced in Chicago. Get over it folks.
