BOSTON IS WICKED AWESOME!!!!!!

[dorkzilla]

Shout out from your cousins to the South, "New Yahwk"! We're so glad you are safe and sound and the nightmare is over. Hats off to Boston PD, MA Troopers, RI Troopers, CT Troopers...and a special cheer for our own NYPD who went to assist.

Cheers!!!!!


Edited to add - Listening to the scanner was intense, but I got a giggle listening when one of Boston's finest said "NYPD ah bah-bah-queing far us if yah hungry..."

6. Hat's off to all our Law enforcement, and especially to New Yorks finest, for the assist.

And for playing for us~

but oh so sweet!

Bahston Loves you!

[dorkzilla]

9. I REALLY LOVE Boston, many of us do!

My grandpa's family were that wonderful hybrid of Old Line Yankee (Mayflower stock--Chilton-Winslow! Can't get more Boston than that!) and New Amsterdam Dutch. Add to that an immigrant Irish mother - so you see, Boston is really my emotional home!!!!

So happy to see everyone cheering and happy up there...Go SOX!!!!

[sheshe2]

12. Thank you, dorkzilla

And go Yankees!

We are all strong.

7. "NYPD ah bah-bah-queing far us if yah hungry..."

lol Love their accent!



thanks dorkzilla

[sheshe2]

13. LOL

Now we do not all talk like that, my dear Cha!

However it can be that thick!

[dorkzilla]

18. She was quoting me!! No offense!

Sorry, a lot of my friends are old Southies! I mean that sincerely affectionately! Or as we say in NY -" I sweah on my dawg. Let's go hava cuppa cawfee, k?"

[sheshe2]

24. I am not offended in the least! I know Cha was quoting you.

Honest, I think the accent is sweet and funny!

Cha knows that I am kidding her!

If you come to Mass we can have a beah together!

Okay....

[dorkzilla]

26. I actually may be up there in June!

Boston Early Music Festival (yes, I am THAT MUCH of a nerd!) comin' up!

[Cha]

20. How do you talk, she?

I remember this guy, vacationing from Maine, use to come into the Hanapepe Cafe, where I worked in the '90s on Kaua'i, and we all loved how he ordered a Gaaah-Den Burger. lol

[sheshe2]

28. I don't know Cha, no accent thought.

Well maybe when I was a kid speaking pig latin (remember what that was)?!

Mainer's eat Gaaah-den burgers! Who knew.

[dorkzilla]

Wicked pissah!!!! YES!!!!!

11. A question for New Yorkers

and please don't take offense. You live in a fantastic city. When I saw the Boston crowds clapping, I couldn't help wondering if this had been NY people would be complaining it had taken so long. What do you think?

[dorkzilla]

14. Not at all, not for law enforcement.

Leave us stranded without plowing? Watch out! Law enforcement after something horrific? No way.

Funny, when I saw the crowds cheering I thought "if this was LA they'd be booing...". That may seem unfair or hyperbolic, but after living in various places around the country for a spell (LA for 4 years), I can tell you that as a general rule, the people of the NorthEast are much more supportive of their police, and the police are a LOT more respectful to the citizens. I think that is, to a large degree, that the cops here still have foot patrols, and a lot of our cops live in the communities they patrol.

That's my opinion. And no offense taken! NYers are a lot more patient than most people give them credit for--as long as there is a good reason for it.

[BainsBane]

15. That's cool

I'm in Minneapolis. I don't think people here would be out cheering. We're too reserved.

[LiberalElite]

17. I don't think so -

Didn't FBI only release really clear photos yesterday? There's always SOME idiot who'll complain but I don't think the majority of us would. 8 million people live here. We're not all cranks.

[BainsBane]

19. What about not being allowed to leave the house for 24 hours?

I can't see that working in NY because of the importance of its economic activity to the country.

[dorkzilla]

21. Again, if there is a good reason, its all good, NYers take a lot of stuff in their stride.

And a lot of us can work virtually, so no worries there.

[marybourg]

36. When I saw those completely empty streets,not

a single person on them, I thought: That wouldn't happen in NY. NYers always have an "angle".

[BainsBane]

37. I can't see it either

I've only been there once for about a week, but it doesn't seem like something they'd abide easily.

[alcibiades_mystery]

16. Queens native represent: Gary Carter strikes out, and Boston wins WS in 1986

Much love to our friends from the north.

(Dirty little secret of all New Yawkahs: we actually love going to Boston - I've been there on vacation THREE separate times, paid good money to go. Philly, don't fret: we NYers make fun of you, too, but we also secretly love visiting Philly!)

[XRubicon]

22. Like a bastahd

[dorkzilla]

27. Boston PD and attendant law enforcement put their very lives on the line.

That may have been the most hateful and ignorant thing I've read on here in a very long time.

I'm gonna get a jury hide for this but... FUCK YOU, JERK.

[sheshe2]

31. Dammit, I so wanted to post to him, I was half way through

a scathing reply, when I saw that they were gone.

What the hell is wrong with people! So evil, on a celebratory thread.

Thank you for your beautiful Op, dorkzilla.

sheshe

[dorkzilla]

32. Thanks sheshe - I'm still fuming

What kind of assclown does shit like that? Starting with calling Bostonians drunks then going on to flame guys who went to work not knowing if they'd come home to their families? I mean...I'm gobsmacked. Then again, I just assume douchebags like that have small minds (and, I'd wager, small peepees).

What a wanker. Thanks to everyone voting it down, and I apologize for my rude response. Okay, no i don't...but thanks and thanks to you sheshe...I'm sure your post would have been a good one!

[Amonester]

29. wow, that was lame...

where are you hiding?

[dorkzilla]

33. +1! n/t

[Amonester]

35. And I'm not a Bruins fan, but man...

Sometimes seeing too much hatred towards anyone except blood-thirsty criminals posted, I mean, I don't want to be rude, but maaaaaaannn....

[actslikeacarrot]

30. you should change your name...

...to "OneMoreAsshole". Because that's all you are, just one more asshole on the internet.

[dorkzilla]

34. YES!

How could anyone watch the coverage of what's happened in the last week in Boston and come up with that hateful post? Yeah, they just all stood around jerking off...what an idiot.
