Do you say BAWSton, or BASSton?

[MrScorpio]

Poll question: Do you say BAWSton, or BASSton?

[Kire]

1. Drink more CAWFEE!

We're going to BAWSTON!

It's only seven hours from Jersey, here!

[fob]

5. Shouldn't that be "seven ow-as from joy-zee"?

:evilgrin:

[Kire]

6. no

it shouldn't

:grr:

[fob]

7. Unclench teeth, smile, laugh. It'll do ya good.

So you get to make fun (CAWFEE), but others can't? :shrug: Just trying to figure out your rules.

[Kire]

8. You're question MY rules?

There is a long tradition in this country of hometown pride. What tradition are you invoking?

my fun has truth in it

plus, I'm from here, so I got a double secret advantage

nobody in New Jersey calls it "New Joisey", anybody who tries is an outsider and must be mocked unto oblivion

Lest you forget, our state slogan:

9. Nobody? I've been to NJ several times and unless I interacted

with NO NJians I'm gonna have to differ with you on that!

What tradition am I invoking? The tradition of "there's nothing that can't be made fun of" which I see you took advantage of with the Cawfee/Bawston comment but suddenly you drew a line when it was YOUR hometown? Sorry it doesn't work that way. It's ALL ripe for comedy, and I see your hatchet job and raise you a :spank: and a :beer:!

We better end it here before I have to bring up "jughandles"!
:crazy:

[Kire]

13. JUGHANDLES!?!??!!!!

WHAT IN THE SAM HILL YOU GOT AGAINST JUGHANDLES!?!
CAN'T YOU SLOW DOWN A LITTLE BIT BEFORE YOU GET OFF THE *%#& HIGHWAY!
MY NEIGHBORS ARE ON THESE ROADS FER CRYIN' OUT LOUD!



PS If you make me put "/SARCASM/" in my next reply, this is what's going to happen:

[fob]

15. Don't give it away! There are others who revel in this type of flamewar

geez!

And you had to bring up jughandles didn't you! I asked, politely, fo ryou to drop it, but NOOOOOO! You gotta YELL JUGHANDLES! Maybe you do need to go get some Cawfee in Bawston, 'cuz you're out of yer mind!

I'll wait for your apology...
