Hi Everyone!
 

Hi there,
I'm new here and just thought I'd say Hello to everyone. :)

:tips cap:

Hey there ho there. Welcome justmehere99. Are you sure you're not from Ohio?

Hi BigV, ummmm, last time I checked I was in Pennsylvania, why do you ask?

We're getting a flood of Ohioans lately, we're worried about the quota and I just want to make sure we have all the targetting data right.

I mean, Pennsylvania, we LOVE Pennsylvania. Glad you're here!

Thank You!

LJ will be along to administer the test any time now. Hint: Do NOT include a discussion of cats or trash bags in any of your responses! ;)

And welcome!

*staring* and what is so wrong with Ohioans?

Oh, yeah. Never mind. :blush:

And hello justme! --general question--why doesn't anybody put any info up about themselves on the profile? Sundae Girl did and it was great--but lots of new people don't put up near enough info about themselves...you all scared or sum'n?

Be totally honest on the test. He knows if you're lying.

And be careful... It'll put your eye out! :eyeball:

What test are you all talking about??? Should I be scared? :)

be afraid ,
Be Verry afraid !!!!!!!


Welcome

Welcome! I know you'll enjoy your stay.

And...You can check out....but you can never leave!!

Just curious - were you a lurker long before postng? None of my business, just wondering if many folks lurked as long as I did before jumping in!

Nope, wasn't a lurker at all, joined the first night I found this forum.
And thank you for the welcome. :)

Don't worry about the test.
It only hurts for a little while...

Camera? Check.
Astro-Glide? Check.
Rubber gloves? Check.

LumberJim, the exam room is ready...

justmehere99, go with God.

OMG! Now I'm really scared! :worried:

Breathe. Relax. Don't tense up. Keep telling yourself: "It'll be over soon." LJ can sense fear- its an elixer for him. Don't give him the satisfaction. Make him work for the truth.

We've all been there and, emotional scars nothwithstanding, we're all still here. What's left of us, anyway. We all left a little peice of us in "that room."

Pray.

I showed up before there was a test, so I got grandfathered in.

Grandfather doesn't run anywhere near as fast as lumberjim, so it was easy to keep clear of him.

Just feel fortunate that today isn't a baptism by fire day.

and be glad LJ gives it and not TW.......

well, kids? she got 3 right, 4 wrong, and 3 whatevers. i've seen far worse. should we keep her?

Hola, justyouthere99! :D

Might as well keep her...we need new entertainment.

Soooo, am I a keeper?

I say keep her, LJ. You know what happened to the last person that got rejected........ I don't think we could go through that again.

....and jmh99.... the answer to #2 is: nothing.....you've already told her twice. :lol2:

Oh sh*t, I knew I heard that before, but like they say, the mind is the first thing to go.

Sure, why not? We can always you trade you in if we find a better deal later. ;)

Of course! We never throw any back.....although some escape, damn it. ;)

I lived in Pittsburgh for 12 years and my x is Philadelphian. So I got an H-1 visa to stay here.

What about a Pennsylvanian test?

1. What crunchies do you get on your ice cream at a real Philly ice cream parlor?

2. Upon what building's steps did Rocky run up during training?

3. What was Boyz-to-Men's first album called?

3. What do you put on a hot steaming preztel?

4. Why can't people from Temple count?

5. When did the Flyers last win the Stanley Cup?

6. What is clearly the world's best sandwich?

7. Is there really city in western Pennsylvania?

Is this test for me??

Sure, traveling west from Philly you pass through Amishland, then Alabama-North, skirting south of Griftopia to Pittsburgh. :cool:

Only if you want it to be. I just threw it together for fun.

1. What crunchies do you get on your ice cream at a real Philly ice cream parlor?

The only crunchy thing that might possibly get on top of your ice cream is the roaches.

Jimmies aren't crunchy.

2. Upon what building's steps did Rocky run up during training?

The art museum. And yes, I've done it.

3. What was Boyz-to-Men's first album called?

I have absolutely no fuckin' clue. Do youse?

3. What do you put on a hot steaming preztel?

There are no hot steaming pretzels in Philadelphia. Proper soft pretzels are cold and somewhat sticky and have a fine layer of grime, auto exhaust, and vendor urine on them.

Mustard covers that assortment of flavors and is the prefered condiment.

Yellow mustard. None of that funny brown French crap. French's mustard isn't actually french.


4. Why can't people from Temple count?

They are from Temple. No more need be said.

5. When did the Flyers last win the Stanley Cup?

1975

6. What is clearly the world's best sandwich?

The Hoagie.

7. Is there really city in western Pennsylvania?

I've heard rumors, but I hear it's about the size of Norristown and nowhere near as tough.

I haven't been to Philly in a long time. But, this is what I was thinking, correct me if I'm wrong pholks.

1. What crunchies do you get on your ice cream at a real Philly ice cream parlor?

We always got little pretzels with our ice cream. I forgot that they call sprinkles jimmies.

2. Upon what building's steps did Rocky run up during training?

see wolf.

3. What was Boyz-to-Men's first album called?

Damn, I had it on the tip of my tongue, gave up and looked it up: Cooleyhighharmony

3. What do you put on a hot steaming preztel?

mustard

4. Why can't people from Temple count?

my x is from temple; nuff said

5. When did the Flyers last win the Stanley Cup?

The Penguins won two in 1991 and 1992. Nah nah, nah nah nah.

6. What is clearly the world's best sandwich?

Cheese Steak. What the hell are you thinking Wolf? You fell asleep on that one.

7. Is there really city in western Pennsylvania?

Go Steelers!

I would have had 1 right.....The cheese steak. :)

Don't be so sure about that. They can be veeeeeeeery picky about what is or is not a cheesesteak. wolf can be particularly strict in her adherence to cheesesteak culture. Proceed with caution. ;)

That is not a common experience, and was likely unique to the establishment you visited.


Your x? Then all she needed to be able to do was count to half.

There were two possible answers to question 6.

Your answer merely indicates that you have never had a hoagie, or at least do not appreciate the importance of this item in Philadelphia Food Culture.

The hoagie is just as unique as the cheesesteak and is absolutely NOT a sub. The Norristown Zep is also not a hoagie, although some elements are shared.

Presidential candidates bring national attention to the cheesesteak because they ritually eat one during the Phila stop of their campaigns. This is because we don't want them finding out about hoagies and deciding to stay. We have enough trouble with our own local politicians. We don't need to import them.

I dated my x for about a year in 1979. In one of our Philadelphia visits she told me that the little pretzels was classic Philadelphia. I am from New York and she was always on a mission to educate me. This isn't the worst lie she told me. :)

i lurve you too.

Yeah, at some point the cheesesteak got "discovered" by the national media. In 1976, my math prof told me "The cheesesteak is clearly the world's best sandwhich, and don't you forget it." He said this as if it were one of the Peano Axioms. I never forgot it.

I have to admit that I was never properly educated about the Hoagie. In Pittsburgh they throw around that word as if its a synonym for Sub. But, sometime you have to go to Isaly's for a chipped ham or Primonti's for sandwhich with meat, cole slaw and fries all between the bread.

I went to Primanti Brothers in June...*drools*

I cringe every time I hear the term "cheesesteak" used outside the Philadelphia metropolitan area.

Good job, you've already introduced Wolf to the Primanti sandwhich with Picture!

Now one can order a Rothlisburger for $7.

I cringe when I hear the term "bagel" used outside NY; what abuse of terminology!

I expect that I will end up in Pittsburgh eventually. I know a bunch of people there via CISM, so going one day is pretty much inevitable.

I was very impressed by what I saw of the city. Apparently, it's a hell of a lot better than it was 20 years ago.

i freakin' loved pittsburgh! I got laid there!!! boyhowdy!


*plus, it was an ethnically funky city--but, that coulda been coz we were on Squirrel Hill......Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Squirrels....

Well maybe if Wolf went to Pittsburgh she'd get laid too, ya think? :D

Dammit Bri..... is nothing sacred?
My son said he never left Grifftopia..... wait'll I have a talk w/him. And on my AMER. EXPRESS at that... :lol:

Yes, I saw the transformation live. I arrived in 1983 and moved out in 1995. It was seriously parochial back then. "Cafe" used to mean "dive bar". I saw many slum businesses on Murray Avenue in Sq Hill close and new ones reopen. The first Indian restaurant opened on Craig Street. Starbucks and IKEA moved in, then it was over. No more backwater - Pittsburgh had arrived.

Pittsburgh got yuppie-ized so tourists can experience the same crap they get at home. That's just fuckin' wonderful. :rolleyes:

I actually live about 120 miles south of Pittsburgh, waaaaayyyyyy in the mountians!
I haven't been to the burg in ages.....was in Philly once for my aunt's wedding. So I guess you can call me a redneck! :)
