One way to avoid falling is to not walk near the ocean where you can get swept away by a wave. 
"Mommy, what's a tape recorder?"
Definitely not PETA approved.
"Help! I'm trapped in a one hundred and fifty pound knit dress!"
One man's art is another man's food.

How to avoid falling? That's classic.
Wow, I thought I really liked you and this awesome blog. But I never realized you have such a hate on for my beloved home town.
Are you truly experienced enough in NYC to hate it so, or are you just basing your hatred on outdated (and maybe never-was) stereotypes? What did NYC ever do to you? Except produce art, architecture, food, wild multiculturalism, counter-culture, and the anonymity by which creativity thrives?
You make me sad.
You make me sad, too, Dr. Monkey -- Sad that I did not think of this first!
I'm dying of laughter here, and whoops! I've fallen for MonkeyMuck all over again!
Best regards,

Hey L-Girl, not every one is as enamored over New York city as you are, deal with it. Great and wonderful things come from other cities and towns in this country you know. For instance, great designers and comedians have come from Detroit, San Francisco has produced great chefs and artists, and great writers come from all over this nation. Get over your provincial mindset and wake up to the fact that we are all different and that not all of us are slaves to all things New York.
Oh NOW you put the anti-falling book up for me to see. How long were you gonna be keeping that one hidden in your jumper? I know you couldn't possibly know I would tumble like Humpty but I have to feel that afterwards, its a bit of rubbing salt in the wound. And I got me a wound. Shall I commence the rubbing?
Oh and coming from the frozen north don't mean shit but I always found that the myth of New York is so much better than the reality.
Dr M, I understand full well that many people hate New York City. That's very obvious. I do deal with it. I have nothing to get over.
I never implied, and never thought, that great things (art, food, etc.) came *only* from New York.
I was disappointed to see hatred of New Yorkers - the people who live in a city you dislike - in your blog. That's all.
I'm sorry that my comment offended you. It wasn't my intention. Re-reading it now, I don't understand the vehemence of your response, but that's for you to know, not me.
CCCofC, I found the reality of NYC much better than the myth. I find Canada the same way, now that I've lived here for a few years.
L-Girl-for the record, I don't hate New York city. What I do hate is New Yorkers who think they are above everyone else and who claim that their city is the only one worth praising. I also hate New Yorkers who go to great lengths to bash anyone who says the least little thing bad about them and their provincial attitudes. Once again, get over yourself.
How did New York get in this comment thread?
It's like talking about health care reform and someone mentioning Teddy Kennedy and Chappaquidick.
I like New York and accept that its residents can be pushy and abrasive.
Hell, I'm from Texas and we catch all kinds of stereotyping crap.
The New York comments got here because I wrote a post that criticized the idiot Mayor of NYC and it ate at L-Girl so much that she had to comment on it not once, but twice. That poor woman needs to get a life so she can stop trolling my blog for things that eat away and gnaw at her.
Where's the hatred, L-girl? This New Yorker (and village resident) loves me some Dr. Monkey. Chill the fuck out.
YEH! Sorry..got myself all caught up in the fun of the piling on and the scapegoating.
I was looking at the syllabus in my nursing course today, the first day of class and noticed that there's a reading on "Fall risk analysis in elderly patients." I'm not making this up.
