The Temple Bar: Defying Gravity UYMFA!!!!!!!!!!111111

[phillyfan26]

I'm a life-long 76'er fan, so as soon as I got a license, my best friend and I used to drive down to Philly a few times a year to go to the Spectrum. And, sometimes, seriously, I had no idea what people were saying.....this, though, from a guy who has a Bronx accent that is nothing to brag about.

I miss you Andrew Toney.

I never thought we had that strong of an accent. We say a few words with variations, but overall, it's easier to understand than a New York or a Boston. Or so I thought...

I don't actually remember half of what makes it unique. I just remember "wooder" and "Iggles," which, I might add, is exactly how I say those words.

I'm going to search it on wikipedia.

 

[No spoken words]

Um, hello? Where do I live? I'm serious.

Is it just regular crust? :clueless:

You'll have to take me out for some when I meet the folks and impress them with my Jew-speak.

If you have a pulse, my parents will be impressed at this point.

NY pizza is great not because of any one thing. It's just a food that you can get everywhere in the city, and it's usually inexpensive, big and tastes great. Certain areas are known for certain foods....and NYC has great pizza. Plenty of bad things about my home, but, can't knock the pizza, unless of course you prefer Chicago style, which is perfectly understandable.

Dis has baby pics up?? I didn't know. I'm a bad, bad person.


Jules, it's a shame your hospital doesn't allow more. I don't know how you guys leave them that soon.

 

[~BrightestStar~]

Yea I am going to work until I pop.

And Bri, my feet are horrible looking. I've got huge ass monkey feet.

That's what my friend did too, but on reduced hours. But whoo boy, you got my respect...in those last few weeks I don't think I could do it.


!!
We'll you're not alone my friend's descrition of her feet wasn't too far from that.

Altho I think the thing I remember most was her colourful description telling me about how sometimes the baby's elbow, knee or whatever will cause this bump to grow out of one's stomach....ala Alien.

Dude, you haven't seen? It's in her thread in pleba.
He's freakin adorable. Seriously, like a deadly level of cuteness.

Yea...check the Missing Pleban thread and she has a TON of them....and I'm assuming she will have more coming soon

You're still not telling me what the pizza is like, just that it's not like Chicago's.

I do very well with lowered expectations. And I'm alive. It might work.

 

[~BrightestStar~]

Ok and can someone explain to me what FTW stands for? It's starting to annoy me because I don't know what it means!

depending on the context

FTW = for the win, or Fuck the what!?!?

Sounds good.

Mr fah had to work late....

Well if I had short term disability, I would stay out for three months but we need the money right now.


You've missed Dis' little Wilder??? omg, he is a cute little bugger!

 

[VintagePunk]

Sounds good.

Sure, comment on that, but leave me hanging on the pizza.

So, it's like pizza in the rest of North America, except for Chicago?

 

[Lila64]

hi fah Sorry you're missing out on T-SEB and snow

 

[~BrightestStar~]

I hardly ever go to that section.

I know.

She put some in her thread in Plebans, and she's posted some here and there in the PGP when she's been in

[VintagePunk]

I know.

Catch me up. Right now.


Hi Fah. I just wondering earlier if Thora and Snow had managed to get together.

 

[fah]

Hi back: Weldy and Lila and everyone else


Is that a real pic or just someone being creative???

I speak almost entirely like this, except for the part with winda and casina.

The good thing about my job is I sit down for most of the day!

I feel like my belly is going to explode with the way she acts!

Hi back

I spoke to T-SEB earlier and she was enroute downtown. I think it was around 3:30

 

[~BrightestStar~]

Catch me up. Right now.

What if I don't want to?


Besides, what goes down there can't be summerized. You should now that.
Don't you remember your roots? *shakesheadsadly*

Have you heard Wild's news? Or about SG getting an essay published?

 

[redkat]

I might spray with a hose just so you can hear me say "wooder."

I just met a guy from Philly and that is the only word you could hear an accent on. He's been out here a number of years but still.

I prefer thin crust too. I have had Giordano's (?) brought in by a traveling friend. it was good.

 

[VintagePunk]

...as its size and flexibility may otherwise make it unwieldy to eat by hand.

I love that word, "unwieldy."

Wild and I PM, so I know her news as of earlier this week, unless it's new news.

And I think I read about SG's essay back when she found out, when it was still possible to keep up with that thread. Not so much, these days...
