A good ol' Motown coney wins every time.<br /><br />They sure as Hell, can't compete with any place in the rust belt, and its huge polish populations, in pierogies.<br /><br />And if you want the best possible perogies, a Polish-Jewish woman (And yes for some reason both woman and Jewish matter)'s perogies, after a lifetime living in the Chicago, Cleveland, or Detroit-Metro life, honed by years if not decades of passbacks. I don't know what the difference in Jewish perogies is...or even if there is an official one... but it is there and amazing. <br /><br />Best of everything ?! First they decent wages for working class employees, then punk (yeah you Ramones, I think some one owes a thank you to the Stooges and MC5), then Jim Starlin. I already mentioned there the hot dog lies (want proof, Michigan has the strictest Meat processing laws in the country) I'm not letting them claim perogies too.<br /><br />Line drawn. Its a stupid line, but I drew it.<br /><br />And... <br /><br />Discussing Demateis-written comics? What would give yo the idea this would be the forum for that.<br /><br /><br /><br />Finally...<br /><br />I can't help but noticing a certain amount of political fervor in that twitter box-thing.<br /><br />Maybe its time for that Ben Urich starring story by J.M. Dematteis, I occasionally bring up... all of twice, I think.<br /><br />I just want a Ben Urich starring story, I love the character. Just don't do what they did in the Daredevil TV show with Karen Page, where she played jumprope with journalistic ethics, and was then rewarded for it. They exist for a ######### reason. <br /><br /><br />Anyway, have a nice day, I'm going to bed.<br /><br /><br />Jack<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4193334913733210326.post-52968946325525381802017-02-12T08:28:08.134-05:002017-02-12T08:28:08.134-05:00Have you ever been to NYC, Jack?
