At least we’re still number one in the ‘most likely to host magazine and vodka related parties’ category!

@DMBurrows: Still waiting for the 2010 numbers to come back, but, yes, expect our run of dominance there to continue. Double guns, LA, NYC, Des Moines!!

So, wait. According to their metrics and assuming they are talking about citizens of Dallas, they are saying that 500,000 Dallas residents belong to a gym/health club? I think you could take a zero off that number and it would still be too high.
Also, I imagine the metric they are using for healthcare/personal appearance is tied to purchases at drug stores. When I buy booze at Walgreens it shows up as healthcare/personal hygiene on my AMEX statement. I laugh. So should you.

That’s only because Hartford thinks that song is about them.

It’s not vanity: I really am prettier than Hartford.
And Bill, I picture you laughing and like your whole visage briefly turns into a death’s head and then switches back again as you sit slumped in the blue glow of a motel television, directing inconceivable scorn to your AMEX bill in the grips of some private and horrible catharsis.
And that makes me envy you a little, but still I bet I have a better manicure.

EVERYONE in Dallas is prettier than Hartford! There are NO pretty people AT ALL in Connecticut.

FrontBurner® launched in March 2003, the first blog in Dallas run by a media organization. This is where the editors of D Magazine come to waste a tremendous amount of time.
