The Onion does a subtle job of picking on Austin in their news articles by using Austin and Round Rock as the city where the news event takes place � but this makes me think that a writer must be from A-town. I do think Austin is slightly mischaracterized though in this “info-graphic”. I’ve never known Austin to be famous for fish tacos, but now that I think about it, I think most Austin-ish restaurants serve them.
But the irony is…in the same issue, a story appears from yet another town I happen to be familiar with:
Housekeeper Too Busy To Be Sassy
HIGHLAND PARK, IL � Much to the chagrin of the Whitford family, housekeeper Maria Ortega, 42, is too busy cleaning their mansion to deliver any sassy wisecracks. “It’s such a pity, really,” said head-of-the-household Judge John Whitford on Tuesday. “Maria spends so much time cooking meals, vacuuming and dusting our 40 rooms, washing the windows, doing the laundry, making the beds, and hauling out the trash, she never delights us with any snappy, smart-alecky rejoinders like that Florence on The Jeffersons .” Whitford added that he can’t understand why Ortega doesn’t have time to come up with one-liners during her daily two-hour bus ride to work.
Weird. Funny, but weird.
