Hypocrisy in the Pittsburgh forum.

bambino's Avatar
There’s a crew here in Pittsburgh and some stragglers from other areas who have complained vehemently about political threads in the Pittsburgh Sandbox. All the while being frequent posters in these hated political threads. I have 3 non political threads currently on the 1st page of the Sandbox.

Very few of the complainers are participating. Geez, you would think threads concerning the Steelers, Pirates and Eccie would generate interest. Pretty much crickets around here. But the political threads continue to get the most posts from the people who complain the most about them. What a bunch of bullshit.

Actually, I'm finishing the hand-stitching on a new leather bbq apron while sipping some 1920, smoking a Tabernacle Goliath, listening to some Bad Omens and checking in on some of my favorite providers. One of whom just sent me a delightful set of preview pics of what she'll have on this weekend.

Life is chock full of interesting things beyond shit talking on the internet.

Sounds like a good day! I only ever get to do housework in the evenings. Laundry. Dishes. Shit like that. It’s a meager existence.

No matter what time of day. Then you get likes. It’s miraculous!!!! But in reality, it’s creepy. Now, you’re a busy, “huskie” guy. Make sure you have enough material for the belly area while stitching. I’ve humored you enough for today. Good luck with your APRON big guy. And thanks for posting in a non interesting thread!!!!!

Hypocrisy in pittsburgh is alive and well.

The two tunnel city where ppl from the North and South are more divided than folks in the civil war-

You can't get there from here,

You gotta make 3 lefts to get back on that bridge. (-Imagine coming to this city and driving 1st time from the Parkway into town!)

Relative to my approach to winter here- I'm not a fan. I hate that it's almost like the groundhog every winter when all your neighbors and ppl just disappear till spring. It's not like that in other southern cities and I'm likely going to move in the next 2 yrs-- unless the housing issues only deepen. Only concern is that PGH prices on houses isn't keeping up with all the places I'd consider moving to. Those small little places that were 200k in the south are now 400-450 even for smaller joints. It's like you'll do an even swap just to downgrade. Anyone got secret places that they are targeting for winter or second house?

On the positive side- I'm breaking in my new Otto Wilde gas grill- it's small buy puts a hell of a sear on a steak!

I heard he was rated #2 as worst rated owner! I'd agree that the team has been running on legacy experiences and throwbacks to how the team WAS focused, strong defense or now a strong offense line.

Seems like they still have some good niche players,- but lacking in quite a few spots. Not the championship team of days gone by, but the whole game has changed since the last decades.

Still seems like we are struggling to find an identity since the days of Polamalu. Roony's are tight with money in the wrong spots.

We need to start with a new head coach IMHO. Originally Posted by eyecu2

Edit; Eye, did you delete the post I quoted? It seemed to have disappeared. No biggie. Sometimes posts get put in the wrong thread by Eccie, not the poster.

Nothing insincere and very little hypocrisy in a good sear on a steak.

This is the way, eye

Thanks for playing along and participating Mr Gristle. You’re a sport. I just fried me a ribeye on the cast iron skillet. Muy Bueno.
