The Official Argue About Where Upstate NY Is Thread

[Benny Profane]

It beats fire season.

Or tornadoe. Or Earthquake.

[Benny Profane]

Upstate NY is the cloudiest place in the country. Yes, cloudier than Seattle. Rains more in Seattle though, cause rain is an event and nothing happens in Upstate NY.

Well, except for stuff like this:

Now that is a dedicated zamboni driver. Save the ice by driving his blazing on fire machine into an enclosed area that probably contains all sorts of flammable liquids and materials.

This was Upstate. He was drunk.

And suicidal.

I’m hoping he was driving it to the fire extinguishers

Perhaps he was on his cellphone and hardly noticed?

That sounds more like Downstate behavior.

Do we know what was on the other side of that tunnel? Maybe a beer ball or case of Genny Cream?

Shitty reception upstate.

Shitty reception upstate.

Can confirm. There's a stretch after you cross Chautauqua Lake to about the Seneca Casino where AT&T can't hold a call for shit. But then I look over at the next car and some guy in a beat up truck is just yakking away on his Boost Mobile flip phone, so maybe it's a way to keep the outsiders at bay?

[Benny Profane]

AT&T

There's your problem.

[BmillsSkier]

There's your problem.

Possibly so, but I'm grandfathered in on a killer plan from like a decade ago and they're fantastic where I'm at, so I just deal with the holes in the matrix elsewhere I guess.

No. CB Radio. Smokey and the Bandit IV: Lost Upstate.

[BmillsSkier]

I would pay good money, and go to a theater in these covidian times, to see Sally Field, and the reanimated corpses of Burt Reynolds, Jerry Reed and maybe Dom Deluise in Smokey and the Bandit IV: Lost Upstate.

Pre-teen me enjoyed seeing Sally's butt. How's she doing these days?

I just checked and my first thought was, “holding up pretty good” but then I googled “Sally Field 1977”

[half-fast]

Sally had a kid that went to SU

And we have now come full circle.

That’s how you do it boys.
