The Bitter East Coasters are here!
 

Well, we may be missing one or two, but Matterhorn Fan and Flippyshark have blessed us with their swankness. I am happy to have their brilliant East Coast insight, because, cats, that's a whole different breed of swank.

Welcome, my friends!

We'll see if we can't persuade a certain bell captain to infuse this scene with a little of his patented shmoozy charm.

Meanwhile, remember our mantra: Bitter is Better

Welcome aboard FS!!!!!!!!! If you could persuade our Beloved to show his smiling face that would simply be stunning! or is that swankiest?

Ding Ding Ding Ding. Call for a Bell Captain. HTH Bell Captain, please!

Welcome Bitter East Coasters!!!

Hello . . . Thanks for the welcome.

Are we still a whole different breed of swank even though FS and I are not originally from the East?

Whatever you want. Here's you can be as swanky as you wanna be.

*Ahem*

What am I? Chopped liver ?

;) :p

No, you are Filet Mignon. ;)

And, so far East to be gone, Daddy, gone! :)

...But, but.. I'm on the East Coast too - and they've always let me play before... I've comtributed to their moral victories, really I have !


[sylvester's son]...Oh the shame of it all.....[/sylvester's son]:o

((((poor huggable bear)))))

Hi Lashbear!

We're still missing one--the Bellcaptain's probably too tired from throwing swanky parties to come post on message boards right now.

I <3 Ms & Mf :d

Did I just hear the front desk bell? Sorry it took so long, but I was delivering some emotional baggage. It belonged to the crazy lady that lives in that tall snow capped mountain at DL. Greetings everyone. I'm a bitter east-coaster, and I'm ready to go.

Do you have your, your bitter lemon and your angastora bitters ready? I'm looking forward to some fine bitterness out of you overly baked lizard types. I hope you'll be here until the bitter end! ;)

(You know I love you.)

Good to see you here!

Lisa

Thanks, it good to be in this hep and swanky joint.

Hey there! Welcome! :)

I recently saw the WDW special on the Travel Channel.....and thought of you, HTH!

HTH, you must spend some time sharing some of your loungey musical favorites. Go to the Beatnick section and go post(al)! :groan:

Cool! I knew I liked this place for a reason. For those who don't know me, I love the old 60's lounge music.

It's great to see so many freinds from my previous posting days here, even if some of them are using an alias user name. I'll try to be a regular poster if I can.

It's wonderful to see you're alive and well our Beloved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even if you have been MIA forever!

Thanks!! It's nice to be home.

Hey another east coaster here! Can't say I am too bitter though!

I'm bitterly cold! Another arctic day in the NE corner of the BEC.

Great amounts of sympathy from the other corner of the Arcticfied states, Steph!

Not that I'm bitter about it, or anything.;)

I had to wear a long sleeve shirt this morning. But it'll probably be too warm by the time I go out for lunch.

He's taunting us, Steph.
:p

I just turned the heater off and opened the window. :p

Heck, even Seattle's in the 60s! I had to take a blanket off the bed last night.

Perhaps we should hit him with some negative mojo? :p

Well, I will be taunting you all when I'm in NZ in a couple of weeks so neener!

Seattle-ites are snow wusses. :p

Seriously, you get an inch of snow and the whole damn city shuts down.

There are two primary kinds of drivers in Seattle: those who panic at the mere thought of snow and slow to an incomprehensible crawl (usually going uphill), and those who have shiny new all-wheel drive vehicles and speed around without considering that increased ability to "go" does not equal increased ability to "stop." Add those two together, slap them onto the freeways, and you have the reason most of us just stay home, even when it's just a dusting. My husband's family is from Ellensburg (east side of the state, for those not familiar, and might as well be a different country) and when we were courting he used to come over the pass in the snow. You can tell the west-siders from the east-siders. So there he is, chugging along at a steady, but measured pace, not so fast as to be out of control, but not so slow as to lose traction, and this SUV goes whizzing around him, honking and sharing their most favorite hand gestures. Fast forward several miles and there, off to the side of the road, is the very same SUV, front end crumpled against a snow bank. He honked and waved.

Lol, Prudence! It's the same story here. People in SUV's driving like idiots because they think their big rigs and four wheel drive means they can drive above the speed limit on ice. The repair shops love them.:D

It's cold where I live, too.

Matterhorn Fan tells lies. Bad, bad Matterhorn Fan.

Hey. There was a freeze warning. And lots of wind. It's been cold.
