Grimy manhattan in pictures

You mean a lot of public art?

Quantum is yet another alias for Rufus, who was rejected by his dream school and dream city, Columbia and New York City.

He loved the city until sour grapes set in...

This is all well documented...

He is so jealous he spends all day trying to post negatively about NYC.

Man, this guy is so pathetic...

"got rejected at columbia business and am pretty devastated."

"Oh well. I have to spend an extra year in shitty Chicago and reapply for round 1 next year."

"I've been to NYC several times but haven't really partied extensively. But almost everyone I've talked to who lives there tells me how NYC is so much fun and doesn't really get boring, people are interesting, etc. To what extent is this true? What makes NYC so much more fun than other cities like LA, SF, Boston, Chicago, etc.?"

"I live in Chicago but have been to NYC quite a few times and noticed a very sharp difference in the respective social scenes. Chicago seems much more fratty and bar oriented while NYC is a bit more upscale and pretentious. The girls in NYC also dress a lot better as well. I would like to hear opinions on this subject from those of you familiar with both cities."

"Thanks for the encouragement. I'm just really bummed out since I'm 27 years old, and now is the perfect time to go. And socially, I'm extremely dissatisfied with Chicago and really want to be in NYC. I just have to improve my application for next year and hope things turn out better"

Now that he's been rejected multiple times, he's changed his story a bit.

Hey Rufus,

I'm not sure if you have ever been to this part of Manhattan, or if you will ever get there, but you should check out this photo of how beautiful parts of it are:

divvie, you win Post of the Week!!!!

NYC - nice job staying on Rufus.

Rufus - did you cry again today about getting rejected to Columbia and not being able to come to NYC? I know you were crushed about being stuck in carppy Chicago for another year.

How did the dinner shift at Applebee's go last night?

Yes, but the gangs spray graffiti during street fairs, so that makes it "upscale".
