LBH- incidentally, the best slight I've heard against the Empire state and our incumbent weather conditions thus far is "Looks like new york is going as new orleans for halloween this year."
In any case, it made me laugh; though I'm closer to Buffalo than NYC. So we've gotten rain, and are hearing about snow, but at least our subways aren't flooded, and our theme parks are still in-tact. Next year? Hm...I should think of something bigger; though I'll need more fridge space if I don't want it to brown before it's big day. Probably the only reason I got away with this one {XD
Ari- I've never bothered picking one up before, but my school gave them out for free so I took the opportunity to mutilate it beyond all feasible recognition.
