My First Impressions of the MidWest/Cincinnati

[Japher]

Front porch mentality - Long ago Californians removed the front porch and erected 8 foot tall privacy fences to keep out the unwanted scowls of the unfriendly neighbors. Here, however, low lying fences and bbqs set up on sidewalks leads one to believe that it was the fences that made the neighbors annoying. Everyone I have met, thus far, has been pleasant and nice. No snubness or holierthanthou attitude that is so predominate on the West Coast.

Pop - first of all, you sound like a moron calling soda "pop". Secondly, calling it Coca-cola classic is silly. Finally, why is diet the default soda? If you don't order "regular" you are either going to be asked if you want diet or get diet. Crazy!

Meat - why has no one out here ever heard of Tri-tip?

Driving - and I though Californian's didn't know how to merge! Seriously, it is a yield not a stop!

Dinning - Guess what ppl, there are other types of cuisine besides BBq and bar food... Not that I'm complain' mind ya.

Sports - ok, Cincinnati, your teams suck, but you don't have to apologize for them.

Cornholio - is this horseshoes for the poor or for the handicap?

Alcohol- are there any good microbrews out here? I know you've got the whiskey covered.

Anyway, so far so good

What's tri-tip?

Regarding pop, to delocalize, I have started calling it Coke. It works anywhere coast-to-coast. Soda is soda water for your drinks.

Regarding the holier-than-thou attitude, welcome to the Midwest and enjoy yourself.

There's a Scottish restaurant in downtown Cincinnati that's got some fun beer on tap, like Old Engine Oil. I'm pretty sure they import it rather than brew it themselves, though.

There used to be a hofbrau where the college kids hang out that had great stuff from Germany that was pretty fresh.

Did you just move here? Only heathens say soda, by the way.

I still have relatives in ohio not cincinatti One word of advice white castles suck. Their idea of true honest mexican food is taco bell (Like that is real food). Most folks were pretty nice till we went to the mall and every lady that we said hi to grabbed their purse like we were going to mug them.
Hope you enjoy your new place though

[Japher]

I'm use to the purse hugging.. they best do that, cause I'm a klepto.

I like Taco Bell.

White Castle does suck

What's tri-tip?

Tri-tip is a sirloin tip roast. It's generally between 2 and 3 pounds and is great for grilling.

Japher How did mrs japher tolerate the trip being preggers and all? Taco Bell is good for fast food. As far as for the klepto uh prolly not a good idea to reach for them they might smack you upside the head with said purse
Oh good lord is that just for one person??

[Japher]

Oh good lord is that just for one person??

Suppose to serve 3-5 ppl. it is over 2 pounds of meat

Japher How did mrs japher tolerate the trip being preggers and all?

She did fine. We flew the redeye, first class, she slept the whole way. I think the stress was the worse thing about the whole deal. Everything is finally coming together though.

[Mrs. Tuberski]

Ahh got ya on the meat looks a lot like brisqit
Isnt there a lot of hall of fame thingys in ohio like baseball rock and roll and the nfl one?

Hey I have lived in Ohio, the only thing they have is the biggest basket in America. So, other than that, what is in Ohio.....Nothing!
Jk I am sure you will find lots of stuff to do...if you visit Kentucky, PA, or Wisconsin.
