Not exactly true. I'm a Ranger/Met/Jet fan. # You can correctly pronouce places like Patchogue, Quogue, Hauppauge, Copiague, Islip, Islandia, Massapequa, Setauket and Ronkonkoma Yup. For non-LIers, it's "patch-og", "kwog", "hop-pog", "co-payg", "eye-slip", "eye-landeeuh", "massuh-pee-kwuh", "suh-taw-ket" and "ron-kon-kuhmuh" Sledding in the sumps Hell yes. You were never lost if you had your Hagstrom's Atlas. (or Geographia.) Love my trusty Hagstrom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cran Da Maniac 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2004 A lot of your list is right on point Crandamaniac. If you live in NC and have never eaten Bojangles, you should be ashamed. I'm guessing you're from somewere like Gastonia or Wilmington though because I'm from Charlotte(which isn't something to brag about these days) and cow tipping is an event I have never seen, but have certainly heard about. Oh yeah... and fuck UNC. Actually I'm from Mocksville (about 30 mins away from Winston, maybe an hour from Charlotte) and trust me, I've most definitely heard of cow-tipping.

Damaramu 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2004 Yeah how is it that I live in Oklahoma, a place that is supposed to be full of farms and shit, and I've never been, seen, or heard of anyone cow tipping!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted May 3, 2004 We're lazy. LIers don't want to get out of the train car. If you're not coming from the Ronkonkoma line (or a few shorter lines from western Nassau), chances are you'll have to transfer. Yeah. Basically, I drive an extra 10 minutes so I can take a train into Manhattan that doesn't have a transfer. I could just go to the station up the block, but who wants to change in Jamaica?

Don't you live in Oklahoma City? That could be why. My town is basically country, so it's more prevalent here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't you live in Oklahoma City? That could be why. My town is basically country, so it's more prevalent here. I live in Moore which is a suburb of OKC...so yeah....that could be it. I've never even been on a freaking farm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah...really. In the winter, I don't want to get out of the train car. Driving to Ronkonkoma + no change at Jamaica > Driving to Patchogue + change, even though Patchogue is 3 miles away and Ronkonkoma is 11 miles away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
