A short history of the Philly-Toronto rivalry

[HelluvaStella]

Not really a rivalry, but one day one of my fellow Philly riders noticed that the Toronto thread had 20,000+ posts while we had a piddly few hundred. And so the talk turned from actually discussing fixed gear bicycling to Philly yet again obsessing about the "other city" that's better than us at something (NY, you hearing this?). So we decided that we would kick up our post frequency, while viciously watering down the content i.e., "We'll never get as many posts as Toronto like this blah blah..."

And then, so Toronto folks find out and start posting on our Philly thread trying to help out. By help out I mean make fun of us. It's all in good fun, and I hereby declare the Toronto crew Officially Awesome. Come on down to Philly anytime you like folks, there's plenty of pretzels for all.

Bwaa Ha Ha Ha ha ha ha ha! Couldn't have put it better myself Shizzy.
Just a few things we have going for us that are better up here in Canuckistan.
Our herb is top notch..cheaper and we can burn on the street without fear of the "War on Drugs"
Even our cheapest crappy beer is better than the plonk they pass off as beer. At CMWC the volume was there...just not the quality.
We can ride brakeless without having to worry about health insurance.
I'll see your cheesesteak and raise you a falafel, roti and Burrito Boyz.
And we don't have a leader who is a redneck, right wing wacko....oh wait...we do. As you were.

Philly should take down Boston first for practice. We'll be cheering you on.

Following that, I think DC is next in line, but beware. Those Pirates play dirty!

[babychris]

the pirates all moved to dc fixed, they are nothing. boston is next!

We had the same thing going with the DC kids we killed them & they went away, maybe to a better place? All in good fun.

See, I don't think we appreciate this enough. A pal was up from the states and so I was obliged to introduce him to some local flora. Which is irrelevant really, except he was quite fascinated that we could go bowling without the curtains drawn. Fine, so he and his brother spend the next few weeks on a herbivorous diet. Goes back home and is random drug tested at his construction job and comes up positive (duh). He's asked how often he engages in such activity and he says (which is generally true), "Oh very rarely, maybe once every few months or so at parties and such". What does he get? One month *in-patient* rehab before he can get his job back. That's surreal!

Back to your regular programming (and I'm feeling very safe at the moment) -- (the TO boys will know what that means).

sadly, boston will be an easy kill. most of us are now on bostonfixed.com. there was a feeble bump today to keep the thread alive but it's not looking good...

Prostate exam I think.

my memories of philly:

having a tire thrown at my friend and i because we wandered across the wrong street at 3am.

getting caught w my pants down (couldnt find a bathroom) and trying to appologize as pee trickled past my feet.

a charming man that thought the cops ought to bash my head in for participating in a demo.

trying to explain to some well-intentioned university students that the image on their placard resembled the hitler salute.

drinking a 40 from a paper bag on some doorstep... or maybe that was in chicago?

good times!

[gokiburi]

If by mmmmmm you mean ewwwwww, you're absolutely correct.

try 'em again when you've got the munchies or a hangover. make sure you get the real stuff: fresh cut potatoes (say, russets or yukon golds), deep fried in animal lard, cheese curds, gravy. uurrrghhhhh..... just felt the arteries hardening.

[cavernmech]

If by mmmmmm you mean ewwwwww, you're absolutely correct.
And Bloody Caesar's sound gross too....till you have one with brunch on Sunday.

The last time I was in Montreal for a race we introduced a bunch of New Yorkers to the wonders of the Caesar....Good times indeed.
