Upstate New York

[69DAYTONASE]

Seems like anytime I talk to someone from down south of out west, and they find out I'm from NY they assume I'm from NY City or at least some city.
The reality is I've never even been to NY City! Truth is I am nothing but a gun totin' country hillbilly that lives in the middle of farm country and I hate cities....all of them!
Most of NY state is rural and small towns, why does everybody think all of NY is a city?

[timmycharger]

Had to drive to Syracuse, NY from Northern MA for work last summer.. definitely not NYC up that way

The same reason why some people in America still think we are fighting Native Americans on the great plains of Kansas like they see in Westerns.  It is called ignorance of the facts...


Yes, I have actually been asked that by more than one person each from the NE area and from the west coast area...

From what I've been told, Upstate NY begins at White Plains.   

[Mytur Binsdirti]

From what I've been told, "Upstate" NY begins at White Plains.   

[ODZKing]

From what I've been told, Upstate NY begins at White Plains.   

Yeah, anything north of the Tapanzee Bridge basically.
I am from Syracuse and I get that all the time. OR I say I am from Liverpool and they ask "UK"?  "No, Liverpool, NY".

When I was in Fort Sill Oklahoma for Army Basic Training in Feb 1984, there were guys there from all over the country. Many from the south. They assumed that everyone in California was either GAY, a surfer or an actor.
I have never been in a movie or on TV. I don'town a surfboard and I have never had a man in my butt.

You and I are in the same area, I'm just west of Warners, when someone asks where that is I tell them east of Memphis and they always ask: Tennessee?

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

You mean there is more to NY other than Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan & 'Da Bronx? 

Do tell!

Not me, I'm in Patriots country. 

[69DAYTONASE]

Oh....I meant the guy from Liverpool, NY.   

[hawkeye]

I lived just south of Syracuse for 15 years.  Great people, wonderful scenery and a lot of cultural events.  The 2 months of summer were great but the rest of the time the weather sucked.  Because of the snow, cold and high taxes, I decided it was time to relocate.  Went to the city once, don't care if I ever go back.

do you have the purple Daytona?

[69DAYTONASE]

I have the B7 blue Daytona SE....there's a barn find purple Superbird that was in Baldwinsville and shows up occasionally at shows, it has a 426 Hemi transplant in place of the original 440. Is that the one you are thinking about?

[ODZKing]

No, definitely a Daytona, that was parked off to the side at our  Mopar show a few years back. Haven't seen it out in a while. It was a dark blue or purple, I'm color blind.

[69DAYTONASE]

Oh yeah....that was my car! I parked sideways next to the row against the north side of the sledding hill.

There used to be some old Mopars sitting inside the auto repair business next to NBT in Newark Valley, N.Y. on Rt38.

[E86/A47]

Saratoga Springs here and am also a country boy, hate cities!

[69DAYTONASE]

Hell must be one big giant city!
I drove down to Philly once to look at a 4x4 pickup and stayed about 30 mins. The place looked like a war zone and mumblypegs everywhere!
With all that history there and the place just sucked, didn't even want to see any of it....just wanted to get on the road out to the country areas again.
(By the way the city boy lied his cuss-ed butt off about the pickup-it was a beat, bondoed, piece of crap)

[Kern Dog]

Mumblypegs

[69DAYTONASE]

Mumblypegs....y'know, people that have given themselves a self induced chemical lobotomy by drug abuse!...they wander around the streets talking and mumbling to themselves, mumblypegs!

[Kern Dog]

Uhhh, okay.   
That is funny, I just have never heard the term before. 

[dual fours]

Mumbleypeg,  I've always known it as a game we played with knifes. 

[69DAYTONASE]

Exactly where the term was borrowed from only in this case the person stabs their brain with dope until zzzzzorch! Brain damage!

[Kern Dog]

That is creative, I just call them burnouts, tweekers, fry-brain, idiot, Liberal jerkoff...
