Listen to some Jelly Roll Morton, fill out a sex survey... Imagine taking the piano licks of Jelly Roll Morton and adding a Google Maps-like approach to mapping sexual activity in the US. The possibilities are endless...
"What an odd use for such a detailed flash map," I thought to myself, as I unbuttoned her shirt. -Woburn, MA

Apparently they don't want any stories about sex in Queens
...unless they involve Leah Remini. yes, you do need a TV to get that joke

Tangential question: I've been trying to figure out where exactly in Queens the cast of that show is supposed to be living. The have a single family house with a lawn, so I'm thinking Forest Hills, but that's too pricey for a UPS guy and an office manager, or Fresh Meadows, but the lawn's too big. It's a mystery.

No, it's a sitcom. As for the size of his house, he is the "King", right? (And Lou Ferigno - playing himself - moved right next door... any similarities to real life are totally unintentional)

Looks like Long Island doesn't it? Garden City or somewhere. I don't think too many of their audience is living in Queens.

Well, there are parts of what I call "Deep Queens," (Springfield Gardens, Forest Hills, Cambria Heights, some parts of Whitestone, Bayside) that moght as well be Long Island. And the couple on that show couldn't afford Garden City. But they definitely aren't in Astoria or Woodside*.

This Queens resident and his mrs. actually kinda like the show. Far as I know it's only the second TV show set in Queens. All In The Family being the first. That was set in Astoria, although there's no Houser Street here. The house in the intro was actually in Glendale, a more upscale neighborhood than a dockworker would've been able to afford these days, back in the 70's was a different story.

The intros to Archie Bunker's Place (the sequel show) did actually feature Astoria locations in it's opening montage

Where's Slothrop?
And would his mapping today foreshadow the next terrorist event?

"My girlfriend and I were stranded in Joplin for 4 months. It's the most pinched, tight-assed, un-fun, depressing small city in the world. It's a place that stunts your interest in life. I know we must have had sex sometimes while were there, but I can't think of any single occassion. It was sex remarkable for how un-memorable it was. And I have a pretty good memory when it comes to sex."
Entry for Joplin, Missouri. Tremendous.
