CHIP CHAT

Earlier today our friend Sara turned us on to this little gem of an article found in her local Syracuse, NY newspaper. I’ll link it for your reading pleasure riiiiiiiiiiiiight abooooout herr!

The article is not important enough to read if you don’t want to. Seriously, it’s about one pun short of beeing a Judy Blume novel. To sum it up, it’s written by local Post-Standard journalist Robert A. Baker about a disturbance that broke out in a convenience store between two delivery men working for rival chip companies. Apparently, these two individuals have had it in for each other for about 30 years. I like to imagine a modern day Spy vs. Spy, but with more chips and less bombs…

Not to sidetrack too much, but some of you may know that Gary and I hail from this city of Syracuse. Sure, we’ve got a huge mall that resembles Azkaban, a pretty cool University who’s basketball team really kicks, but this story isn’t about the college town people know Syracuse to be. No, this is for the people that make up the industrial goulash that Syracuse really is.

Thank you Sara, for bringing this article to our attention, but what I found most interesting were the squawkings of the local’s comments that followed. Let’s take a look at a few of my favorites:

OUCH!

There’s some of that good ol’ hometown spirit I’ve missed so much! This guy obviously doesn’t believe in punctuation, either. A true Syracusian… probably doesn’t use his signal when changing lanes, too. DICK!

Shhhhhut up, spaff!

Boom!

Gary, I think you have some competition in the tv show pitching business.

HA! LAYS! WISE! GET IT?? THEY’RE CHIPS!

This guy was on a roll! Judging by the amount of time between each post, he was really thinking hard about this.

And this last one’s not really funny, but at a quick glance I thought this person’s username was PubicHair… right? right???

Well, there you have it, chippers. A taste of Gary and I’s hometown. Visit soon!

Chips,
