The Official Argue About Where Upstate NY Is Thread

[Benny Profane]

I think he passed out.

You do realize that iceman is older than the Buffalo nickel.

Doubt he was born in the early first decade of the 20th century. "Buffalo Nickel was first introduced in 1913 and was minted every year through 1938 except for the years 1922, 1932 and 1933." Maybe he was around during the great depression years of '32 and '33 and that is the reason??

Fuck y’all are daft at times

Ötzi, also called the Iceman, is the natural mummy of a man who lived between 3400 and 3100 BCE.

[BmillsSkier]

But was he older than Woolley, an upstate native?

Define "native"? I was born upstate but most of my life was not lived there. Am I a "native"? Generations of family in upstate, including parents who still mostly lived in NY, save for the 18 years before they moved back.

How old were you when you moved away? I lived my first 18 years in Mass., lived away for over double that, and am only back fully this year. Am I a Masshole? Fuck yeah. It's the formative years that count, in my book. Live someplace your first 16 or so years and you're as local as...well, more local than Benny at least.

This is a Mammoth joke, isn’t it?

Wait, what? Ötzi was the man's mummy?

I will not cop to being a LI native, nope. I left there as soon as I could, does that count for anything? The only thing the place is good for is reminding you what excessive taxation is all about, getting your traffic fix and surfing. I'm ok with the surfing part but everything else is why I left and don't want to be associated with the place.

Other than visiting friends, the only time I went to LI by choice was to watch the Jets practice in the summer. Late day jaunts to empty Jones' Beach afterwards were actually pretty special. And the greek diner just east from Hofstra had great slouvlaki. But fuk the LIE.

[Benny Profane]

Yup. The only thing that makes L.I. livable are the beaches.

[Brownski]

I think we found something we all agree on. LI sucks, except for the beaches.

[gravitylover]

Some of the beaches are way better than others. The thing that sucks is there are only a handful of places you can get on the sand without spending a whole bunch of money to park the car. For the most part expect about $15 for parking but it could be as high as $50 in some places if you're not a resident of that town, others you can't even stop the car to look at the beach if you don't have a private driveway to park in. Montauk is a pretty cool town (for 8 months a year) with a real base of normal working class people but otherwise pretty much every other town on LI sux. I don't understand how my dad and brother can handle the place, neither of them live more than about 25 miles from where they've lived their entire lives.

[Benny Profane]

Jones Beach.

Would the first 63 of the past 72 make me a native?

Are you talking about LI or LA?

Wow, aliens age really badly Upstate.

[Benny Profane]

Looks like Bill Burr got caught with his alien girlfriend.

[BmillsSkier]

Is Bill from the Upstate?

I feel like he is.

I feel like he is.

Ummm ... 90% of his schtick is where he's from.

[BmillsSkier]

Yeah, but Massholes can hail from other places too.

It's like the who's a local pissing match upthread.

[gravitylover]

Same thing just the ocean is on the other side. SoCal copied LI but it's still not quite the same level of clusterfuckery.

[BmillsSkier]

I think the trees are different too.
