in response to America\'s Most Boring Towns: 10

Justanotherjoe: It is easy to understand why someone who likes Hutchinson may visit this site and take time to comment. What I can't fathom is why anyone expressing some much dislike for the town would even bother a site visit; unless they are hiding latent desires to return! If...

prof: In the defense of everybody who comes looking for chicks in bikinis, when you post a beautiful set of shots with an ambiguous title, folks don't know what to expect, and are often disappointed. When a title bosts bikinis, we know exactly what to expect and usually get it.
