how about you?

yeah

where about?

marlton

the parochialism having to do with the city is unlike anywhere ive been

They might be "from" Philly but don't currently reside in the city. I'm originally from Philly but now I live in Bensalem. If someone asked me if I live in Philly I'd probably say yeah.

I say I'm from philly too. Never lived in the city limits but still identify with it. It's a mentality.

marlton is not in the city....correct...thats kinda the point

if i had the same conversation with someone from a dc suburb equivalent to marlton almost never would someone say they were from dc they would say virginia or maryland...someone from baltimore would usually say the county they live in (or the town)...this is not 100% of the time...nothing is back or white....but just in general more often than not in my travels delaware valley residents more than any other metro area claim the city that makes up that metro area...shtein if you go a half hour north of manhattan they farging call it "upstate"

While moving around the country in the Marines, I always told people I was from Philly whenever I was asked where I was from.  If I met people from the region, I'd tell them Norristown, but if I was talking to someone from Texas or South Carolina, Philly was the normal response. Hell, that's what I tell people around my way now. Pennsyltucky don't know shtein about SEPA.

Damn.  So that's what the back of Megyn Kelly's hand looks, sounds and feels like.

I early voted yesterday at the local library.  The GOP was out in full force in the parking lot and they were pretty aggressive.  I told one guy to farg off when he asked me who I voted for.

On my way home from work yesterday there was some tool on Grant and the Boulevard with a Hilary 4 Prison sign, the back said wikileaks something. I wanted to run him over.

the deplorables gathered at the NAC (newtown athletic club) with the dumpster last weekend. could've really helped the overall gene pool if they all got sucked into a giant sinkhole.

apparently the owner of the NAC is a GOP delegate and after the rally has lost a few club memberships as a result of his blind support of dumpster.

Ok so I've mentioned one of my friends here before. He's now gone off the deep end. He's always been a little off in certain ways mainly associated with his work history but over the years he's crossed the bridge from hahafunnyhaha to far right politics.

He's the guy who abandoned all philly teams to root for the Ravens, Caps and Orioles because according to him you should do this to support the local teams. He lives in Maryland now.

Anyways we don't talk as often as we did other than shtein talking about the fantasy league we are in and political barbs back and forth.

We bet on the election. $250 on the result plus $10 for every percentage point over 50% the winner of the EV gets.

Anyways his latest has been about voter fraud and election rigging by the left aka buying into Trump's spin. I've cited numerous things proving it to be a falsehood but he says he has proof. I asked for non biased non partisan proof. Expecting a long winded and link laden text or even an email right?

Nope. He texts me and asked if I got his proof. He mailed it to my office. I cannot wait to see this tomorrow.
