Post by: steve dave on June 22, 2011, 03:32:15 PM
I'd be a NY Post guy.  I'm not afraid to say it.

I would also play up the fact that I was from KS and was raised on a cattle ranch to the delight of my peers.  I would ham this up a lot and make young sd sound like quite the hick.

I would initially plan on participating in tons of NYC hipster stuff and go to indy concerts constantly.  And I would, for awhile.  Later I would fall into a routine and the idea of travelling more than 3 subway stops from my apartment would feel like a chore.  I would try to hide this from my friends back in KS and pretend that I constantly went to all the hip places and events.

This is a big hit in most population centers DC and North. Be sure to use lots of colloquialisms from your grandpa to explain your business strategies. "Cows don't know its Christmas!"

This works in all major east coast cities.

I would pretend to know all the trendy "underground" places to eat when people "back home" asked and I would make fun of them for going to "touristy" areas, but secretly I would just eat at Five Guys a lot and ask my hipster friends for tips when people came to me for advice.

Buy a car and park it in a parking garage that charges a monthly rate.

Complain about tourists in the summer and secretly hate any other person from rural America who infiltrated my group until we eventually became good buddies.

Call it "The City"

Call it "The City"

And refer to the people as "you city folk" when talking about how different they are.

dunno why you ever left, or want to vacay off-ranch.

I would instantly refer to NYC as "my city" and consider myself a "New Yorker".

Love this too.  When NYers ask me where I am from and I say KS, I am immediately the most interesting person ever (this is usually the case anyway, so I am used to it) and I could tell them anything.  Told someone I lived on an ant farm once and he said how weird that must have been growing up.  NYers are pretty stupid people really.

I'd constantly talk about traffic and how there isn't any "real traffic" in the Midwest unless there's a combine blocking the road.

I would laugh at everyone when they say they are going to Times Square.  I would also talk about "the Village" a lot.

Convinced some people once that all of Kansas' civilization is underground because of all the tornadoes.

And then you would be forced to begin a minimum 30 minute conversation about what a combine is and why it would be on any road.
