I think instead of analyzing the Napoleon using sexual experience as the tell, I think it has to be sports. As embarrassing as it is to not lose it by 20, it's gotta be worse to never size up an opponent in any sport and beat them. When I think of a Napoleon, I think of a kid who got so bitter at gym class, he couldn't wait til someday, he'd make You pay. (I still am pissed it happened at 20. The difference between 19 and 20, while only a couple months, is the huge in terms of how both ages are portrayed) PL: Perhaps. But competitive sports peter out in college for most people. Not getting laid's for life if you're a certain stripe of freak. Haha, I didn’t take my cousin to the prom, but I did lose my virginity 3 months after I turned 20.

It's a good midpoint between NY and DC". Absolute classic. As I sit here procrastinating for my own interview, here's to hoping I get to work that gem into the mix tomorrow. "I'm ready to move to NY because...of its proximity to the Atlantic." PL: Well, how else do answer "Why Philly?" Because it's gorgeous? Because of it's culture? Because of the weather? All the hot chicks? In the past few years, the City has been rated the: 1. Least entrepreneurial; 2. Ugliest (twice); and 3. Fattest. It's a nice enough town, but let's face it - Philly's nobody's first choice. Hell, Pennsylvania's nobody's first choice. Geriatric, over-regulated and, to borrow a line from Johnny Rotten in "Holidays in the Sun," a place with "no future... no future for you." God bless the place. I wish it well. But if I had to bet, in a decade they'll be calling it "North Baltimore." “I’ve always liked Philadelphia. It’s a good midpoint between NY and DC”.
