Ahhh shuddup.

If you told a waitress in Brooklyn, at least anywhere in Brooklyn that I know, that you wanted a Hearty Frontiersman, she'd probably send you to a gay bath. Don't even think about drizzled anything.

ROTFLMAO - Classic Fred, God bless him.

Ping!

[Pharmboy]

Whaddayou lookin at?

[Lazamataz]

Shaddup da both of youse befaw I smack ya 'round.

[Hatteras]

That's exactly why you couldn't pay me enough to venture into New Frickin' Yawk. People are too full of themselves.

There are alot of wonderful people there I'm sure, and alot of them were lost on September 11th, for whom I grieve, but Good Lord, don't tell me the rudeness and arrogance of the rest is an admirable trait.

Have a nice day, ya'll!

[MassExodus]

Daaah .. Gee Boss ... He said ta let 'um HAVE IT !

[NYC GOP Chick]

You talkin to me? Are YOU talkin to ME?

;-D

[ThePoetsRaven]

You got a problem? Sheesh!!! Brooklynite here. Ya wanna make sometin aboud it???? Hey yo...great post.

[JoeGar]

This reminds me of a restaurant incident one January in The City ...

Waiter: "Sir, and what would you like to drink?"

Tennessee Guy: "Iced tea."

Waiter: "You'll GET IT IN THE SPRINGTIME."

[hoosierboy]

Can you tell me how to get to grand central station, or should I just f*ck myself?

[ThePoetsRaven]

You'll get it in the Springtime...

That is sooooooo freakin hilarious. Bwahahahah. And so typical.

True story. I was leaving Broadway with a date in my car at midnight. Bumper to bumper traffic, gridlock--normal New York at midnight. The light changes and the crowd streams across Broadway. The car in front of me moves 5 feet, I have 10 feet now between me and the next car. The crowd streams in front of me. The car behind me honks his horn and yells at me to pull up. A pedestrian yells at me to pull up while he's in front of the car. I pull up.

I work in midtown and sometimes I walk through Times Square on my way home. Good lord, the tourists. They walk around dazed with their heads up like they are awaiting the Rapture, and they are taking pictures of everything. Then they ask me how to get to the Empire State Building. I point to the damn thing sticking up in the sky and push them in that direction. Then tell them to go back to Iowa.

LOL!!!

I was one of those tourists many years ago. A group of us Californians wanted to conduct an experiment: What would happen if we stood on a corner and just said "Hi!" to people. OHHHHH, the looks we got! On guy gave us a strange look and said, "Oh, you must be from California!" Dang, was it THAT obvious?

Da rudinskis are outa Joisey.

[Drawsing]

All right, I give up. What does "You'll get it in the springtime" mean. Yes I am a Tennesse guy.

What would happen if we stood on a corner and just said "Hi!" to people. OHHHHH, the looks we got!

Around here, people would just say 'Hi!' back at you.

They'd also probably comment to each other on how nice you were.
