lol, that and that they actually always have two people in the front , not to mention their police sequenced plates.

I remember one time , me and a friend were about to go to a poker spot on houston street , and he notices one of their fake taxis , and he is like, that's a dt car. we walk to the corner of houston and eldridge and lo an behold, they come out with other cops and raid the place.. that sucked for some guys as they took them to the tombs for the weekend.

totally unrelated, but this caught my ear on law and order a while back.

NY calls it 'How-ston'?

As long as they pronounce the city 'Hue-ston' I'll learn to make the adjustment.

i remember that in grammar school it was taught because it was named after a person who's last name was pronounced -how-ston , not like Sam Houston

i have to add that my niece's name's are Chrystie and Delancey , and no one is going to spell those names correctly over the years, especially outside the 10002 , that is mildly annoying.

When people say Avenue of the Americas instead of 6th Avenue.

What, too local?

Well, outside of a couple of zip codes in that area. Who is going to spell that correctly?

If he could speak English ok it would bug me too. If he couldn't speak English well I would just assume he was doing this to avoid stating his bet/raise amount wrong..

His English wasn't perfect but it was good enough to keep up with conversations at the table.

My 10th grade English teacher used to wipe her finger on her front teeth to turn pages. Twelve years later that's all I remember about her and 10th grade English.

oh I don't know my friend...

impetuous self absorbent delusions of grandeur aren't really going to come in handy when you see me face to face. But to be honest, I won't have much time for you because you're about as troublesome to me as something stuck to the bottom of my shoe.

hey shoe, you're giving my name... a bad name.
