I wish they showed San Francisco. And New York and Chicago are about tied. Huh.
If you want me to leave, you can put your hands on my hot, tight little body and make me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I am very glad never to have had a near-death experience. Unless you count a couple times where I made stupid decisions while driving that luckily didn't cause an accident.

I've been in 3 cars that were totaled in accidents, I am not sure it changed much in how I looked at things. I was 12, 17, and 20 year old so possibly I was too young for them to have that type of impact.

Wow. Were you injured in any of them?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You guys are going to have to talk more if I'm going to make it through today.
Seriously.
Don't make me pull out the FCM

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ditto.

I will say I technically totally my mother's car in high school, but I was told that just meant that repairing it would cost more than the value of the car -- I drove up on a curb and fucked up the alignment or whatever. It was not a bad accident, aside from not being able to drive the car away.
And now I don't drive, so there you go!

I do too, although it is not a big city by any definition.
ETA: I have no idea how Paris could top the list. It is very comparable to NY. And nowhere near London.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I had that bad wreck in Sedona. Totaled both cars, the mechanic said that as bad as the damage was, we should have been killed. It shook up the SO worse than me, I think, since I was on the side of the impact. Hit so hard that it knocked my glasses off, which then hit the SO. And I dropped my smoothie, which made exciting Dexter splatter patterns on the window, but did not, in fact, turn out to be brain matter. I only had seatbelt bruises and whiplash, though, and the SO was pretty much completely unhurt. Our pocketbooks weren't, though, because our insurance had lapsed unbeknownst to us while we were on the road and we are still paying for the other person's car.
I don't think it changed my life, necessarily, but it was definitely a sharp reminder of our frailty.
My sister had an experience in Africa where they were shot at, at point blank range, but were unharmed. That's the one that's mindfuckery to me.
