John is a genius!

I remember reading Clive James' Unreliable Memoirs and laughing myself sick. John Waters is a genius too, though I'm not sure where Bangladash is. Mental jacket he's wearing though, all power to you, you fabulous man.

John Waters lives/lived in Baltimore! Holy shit!

Judging from my experience of America (i.e. from watching The Wire) John must be a tough fucker.

@roryphelan I just saw him in bmore , he was doing a Christmas show. I assure you he still lives in Baltimore.

@roryphelan "Judging from my experience of America".... So your "experience of America" is from a T.V. show?

Have you been to the U.S. or Baltimore? Well, if you haven't, then you didn't actually "experience" America at all. You were actually sitting on a couch watching something called a television. Do you see how that works or do I need to explain it better?

@tomthefunky Sorry I can't tell if you're trolling or not so I will take your comment as it stands.

I was being self deprecating with my 'Judging from my experience of America (i.e. from watching The Wire)' comment.

I was stating upfront (and belittling the fact) that it is is the only major representation of Baltimore I know.

Being deprecating abount oneself is one thing, writing a ridiculing comment to another person is another. Its mean and It doesn't portray you in the best light.

@roryphelan He stays clear of the bad (ie Black) neighborhoods
