Yep. Maybe itt has some nice part but i sure hven't seen any..

It's just a provincial city isolated from any real population centers. That's allowed the folks there to develop almost like a sub-species.

What convinced you to leave the Old Sod for the New Desert?

Ever since I heard Weird Al's "Albuquerque" I've been wanting to go there.

"And that's when my lifelong dream came true: that's right, I got myself a part-time job at the 'Sizzler'."

*wipes away nostalgic tear*

Thanks for all the replies. I've decided I can really live without the Proraso pre/post shave. Widely available here at about €8-10; should I stock up?

Palmolive is a great suggestion - cheap as chip (fries I mean ) here.

All the online retailers sell TOBS. West Coast Shaving does have La Toja.

Now if you were really smart you would go to Colorado or maybe Texas or Arizona. In the summer your gonna die of the heat and in the winter freeze your butt off. The schools here are terrible and the University system is second rate and N.M is one of the poorest and most backwards states in the country. Why you can't even find a decent restaurant here and we have no professional sports teams and no theater. Also folks here can't drive to save their lives. A little rain or snow and the place turns into a demolition derby on the streets. Then there's the Bears and Mountain Lions who come down from the Mountain and wander the streets looking to devour anyone they can get their claws on and the wild coyotes who eat your dogs and cats. I won't even go into the mice who carry the Hantavirus and the killer lightening storms and the criminal population we have with some of the largest car theft stats in the country. We're also short water in these parts because those polecats in Texas stole it all.

So you see, you don't really want to come here after-all do you?
