It’s true, David D. The real reason L.A. is such a car culture is because we have to carry chickens and goats with us whenever we want goods and/or services. I hope this “shopping” I’ve heard so much of comes to L.A. soon. My back hurts from all the goat carrying.

Oh, yes–the shopping. That’s where we give people money in exchange for items. Unlike LA and all these other “non-real” cities that still work on the barter system.

I lived in Toronto for a year. I don’t understand the hype.

I especially don’t understand the mindset of some of the people that I met. A few asked me how it felt to finally be in The Big City.

My response was that it wasn’t a big deal to me, because I’d grown up in L.A. and spent summers in New York.

“Yes,” these people would reply in all seriousness, “but Toronto is a *real* city.”

Can anybody explain what this is supposed to mean? I’d ask the people that said it, but their replies didn’t make sense to me: “Toronto has things that you won’t find in other cities, like the shopping.”

I know, right? Could they not have found, like, ONE THING that’s unique to Toronto, and push that? Because I’m pretty sure — I mean, I’d be totally sure if I’d been to more cities — that Toronto isn’t the only place with shoe stores, female impersonators or gaybars.

And this is your first warning, you guys: No. More. Kitten. Links. I mean, it. I’ll turn this car around and we’ll head straight home.

Oh, for God's sake, David D., God's been dead for >i/i<. Kittens are out to kill the rest of us. So, 23, when are you running for mayor?
