    I thought so. I tried to tell Danno it wasn't a recognized sport.

    Ok, a lot to unpack here. First, I like how in Upstate NY there is an assumption that even while drinking you have full control of your mental capacities. Otherwise, nothing would ever get done. Don Draper would have struggled to keep up Upstate. Hell, Utica Club was the first brewery to sell a beer after the repeal of prohibition. 8 minutes after the law was enacted, if I'm not mistaken.

    Second, sorry, no trivia twisties. I do have more trays, like this fan favorite:

    Finally, there are more twisties online. Here's one...

    Oh, if you can't read it it says:

    "An explorer found a coin in an ancient building. It was dated 43 B.C. He rushed to an expert who tested it and said "even before I examined it I knew it was fake." How did the expert know?

    Can't put anything over on Timber, though technically it's not fair unless he can prove to us he's been drinking this morning.

    Here's the back.

    if Yonkers is upstate, then probably Mount Vernon and New Rochelle are too.

    Not much to it. It's just the high school, one apartment building and the Target. And the the cliff from Basketball Diaries.

    I've been afraid to post this because I don't want to blow anyone's brain up, but you need to have this be part of your life. It's a 1 minute 45 second slice of your day that I guarantee you will not regret.

    As America burns tonight, I know there will be loads of people in fantastic dive bars Upstate humming along to that tune, knowing they're safely where the angry masses can't find them.

    I have 4 UCs in the fridge. Is that enough? I figure if I still need more , I can go to the hard stuff. Forgive me if I posted this before

    Officially, there's a bit more to it than that. Not a lot more, but more: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Ma...!4d-73.9102628

    Anyone else seeing an uptick in Upstate spam in their other social media feeds?

    If not I’m happy to send you this article that just came up: 20 most iconic places to vacation Upstate, you’ll never believe what number 2 is.

    Can't imagine that came out of the minds of beer drinkers. More like the product of bad acid.

    Is #2 the Utica Psychiatric Center? (this is a real place. with a history.)

    Yes, I think I am seeing that as well, and I blame you. Just so we're clear.
