 Me?
 
 Today I feel like Buenos Aires; cerebral, intriguing but financially slippery.
 
 And you?

				| Funny--before I even read this post--when I just saw the title and thought, "hmmm, interesting..."--I thought I'd want to be Buenos Aires.   
 Either that or San Francisco, but I suppose I should be a bit more exotic and get out of my home state.
 
 Or maybe Prague. Are we allowed to be three cities?

				| I want Prague, too.  Shall we share?   It's the one place on earth I've ever been homesick for, in my 47 years.

 What can I say?  I'm a teacher!
 
 (and it's better than Zzyzx, California, unless that's how I sound in class)

 My humblest apologies for going off-topic, but Glenski's post reminded me of another narrowly averted weird city name. There was a town in California a while back that was considering changing its name to Got Milk? to get funding  from the... whatever it's called...  milk department/milk board/national council of milkers. In the end they voted against the change.
