The Official Argue About Where Upstate NY Is Thread

[BmillsSkier]

Nope. Let's let Timber and company weigh in first. Vibes all around.



My homeboy back in the buckeye state was pulling hard for the Upstates

[ötzi]

I wasn't aware Labatt's is big in the upstates.

[gravitylover]

You had a window , I guess you were too busy designing the Quonset hut?

Yup

DIY crwashes are going extinct? Had no idea. There's one a couple miles away with 4 bays, it stays busy as far as I can tell.

Of course they're always busy, there's aren't any others

It'll rain eventually

You're from Upstate aren't you?

Find some puddles and drive through them fast when it does. Presto, underwash.

Bam. Drill that salt way up in there.

[gravitylover]

Well, today it's the NY Beverage of the day. This is from the Barrelhouse 6 Distillery, a must hit when you're in the area.

I wasn't aware Labatt's is big in the upstates.

It's a beer for special occasions; weddings, etc.
I'm planning to splurge on some if the Bills ever win a SB.

[Timberridge]

So when hell freezes over?

Was that necessary?

[riser4]

Was that necessary?

Too soon?

[Timberridge]

Tomorrow...maybe.

[huckbucket]

Too soon?

um ... yeah. Too soon.

[BmillsSkier]

Yeah, I'm gonna go with too soon as well. They don't even have their own dedicated depression thread.

[riser4]

Mea culpa.

[BmillsSkier]

I wasn't aware Labatt's is big in the upstates.

Big in the Upstates. Brewery in Buffalo. Official beer of the Mafia.



Also pretty big in everywhere else that has a spiritual connection to the Upstates (cold, grey, seasonal depression, snow, beautiful scenery, snow, shared borders with Canuckistan, snow and hockey), like Cleveland, Detroit and Erie, PA.

[Timberridge]

Syracuse too.

[BmillsSkier]

That may be an Peace Bridge too far there.

[riser4]

This. Most definitely this.

NYBOD I found their dark lager, aka porter, at the local Whole Foods.

Has anyone used one of those weed burners to clear ice blocks from the driveway? 500,000 btu's oughta do some damage, no?

I've seen people do that before. Two problems: First, ice takes way more energy to melt that you think it does, especially at like 5 degrees and for B, after it melts and turns to water, it just turns back to ice, now in a sheet, covering your driveway like an ice rink. Which maybe you want. I'm not here to judge. But mostly people don't want that.

[gravitylover]

I gotta come up with something, I've gone through over 50 lbs of ice melt crap already this winter. The neighbor's bushes on the south side grew like mad last year with that really wet spring and it's just terrible, I asked them to let me trim them or something and got told no, again, for the 26th year in a row.

[riser4]

Hmmm. Scratches head thoughtfully. Weed burner in hand. Bushes next to my driveway that cause massive problems for me. I wonder what the solution might be? I just can't quite picture it.

[I Skied Bandini Mountain]

I like where this is going. Good possibility of making it to the national news.

[gravitylover]

LOL. I scraped up a pile of road salt a few days ago and dumped it into them hoping that section doesn't grow back in the spring. Neighbor thread stuff I guess...

[Brownski]

This could help us draw the line. If the news story starts with “upstate man with a flamethrower…” we know that the route 6 theory is confirmed, right?
