mom was nice enough to pencil in the lightweight version for the kids table.

That's got me craving some nog. Nice work.

Just think. We've gone from this to White Claw for the holidays. No wonder the world is so fucked up.

Just think. We've gone from this to White Claw for the holidays. No wonder the world is so fucked up.

The person that shows up with White Claw, or its facsimile, at a holiday party is forever placed on the naughty list.

And not the good one either.

I'm looking forward to the nog or maybe some gin and tonica... what time is it again?

1. UC is awesome. Long necks are available in Albany now, which is also awesome but not as good as the old bullet bottles. I have many UC t shirts and some pint glasses but that tray is way cooler.
2. Egg nog is really good

75% is an upstate B+

That’s quite the curve they’ve got there.

D = degree!

You went to Clarkson?

[BmillsSkier]

You went to Clarkson?

No, but I had friends at other schools that swore by that mantra. I’m not even sure they had curves at their schools.


Ironically, all the schools I went to had loads of New Yorkers as classmates but I think most were downstaters, but then again, we can’t be too sure.

I grew up upstate and went to school in the Bronx, along with mostly other upstaters. There were probably a dozen guys from my high school at my college when I was there. The upstate schools are full of city kids. It has always been thus and thus it will always be.

Is there even a 240th street? That’s Yonkers.

[Brownski]

Almost. It’s Van Cortlandt Park South. I guess you could make the case since there are coyotes living in the park but that would put the best pizza in NYS and the northern end of the 1 train two blocks into upstate which doesn’t make much sense to me.

Midget?

I believe the term is "little people" now.

I would love to see the rest of the trivia twisties UC had to offer.

You are absolutely correct. I used to run up around Wave Hill, so I should’ve known that.

[Timberridge]

Looks like we at least solved where NYC ends and Yonkers begins.

Maybe EWC has some Trivia Twisties coasters? That's the only one I have...unfortunately

[ex-powderbroker]

Upstate is just going to cede Mount Vernon or will there be blood?

[ötzi]

West of Van Cortlandt park the Bronx-Yonkers line is at 263rd st. East of it, it is 242nd St.

Somewhat surprisingly, the highest street number in Manhattan is 228th St., in MTM's old stomping ground, Marble Hill.

Thank you wikipedia.

[Stu Gotz]

If you grew up NY and played sports, sections I and IX were always downstate.

Hope that helps. 😉

Even ultimate frisbee?

Marble Hill is not on the island of Manhattan and doesn't have a 212 area code. Posers.
