Where do you think someone who fucking writes like I do would live? Fucking Rye, or Fucking Great Neck? Here's my bona fides: I fucking hate New York, and if you can't say that, then you haven't fucking lived here.

(I swear, if this fucking gets alerted we will see how many people have any fucking clue about New York Fucking City on this site. Or a motherfucking sense of humor.)

That being said, I was happy to live 15 years outside the city at one point. It really fucking brightened my disposition!
