this should be renamed 'you know you're white and from queens.....'
true, it is all about the few neighborhoods that usually if you're from one of those you hang out at the others and know ppl from the other neighborhoods...like people from astoria, whitestone, howard beach all run within the same circles and its definitely 6 degrees of separation
true, but other statements can be viewed as somewhat racist - sorry JMO
Yeah, I noticed that too. The first thing made me go “uh oh.”
OK if anyone is offended by SPECIFIC comments then ill delete just those...i didnt write it, i copied it and yes sorry to say i skimmed over most of them and went straight to the ones i knew about such as astoria and things like that. Personally i am a person who doesn't get offended easily...I watch black comedians ALLLLLL the time who crack jokes on white ppl and i just laugh and im sure most of you have too, and people sit here talking about how much they love lisa lampenelli(ive seen her being brought up many times on the boards) and nobody complained about how anyone can like her bc of the racist or crazy things she said.
So if theres a specific one you want off then let me know and i'll edit the post.
i just don't think people should be offended by any of it. same way long island people are not offended by all those LI stereotypes in the other post.
we know you didn't write it - and those of us who grew up there know what's real and not real. It's just for fun.
yeah ive seen some that are offensive about ALL of queens, for example a manhattan one i saw, like oh you never go to queens unless...
but if people are truly offended then ill take those certain ones down

OMG! Hilarious! Hey is Cherry Valley where they make those delicious TCS sandwiches??I think its TCS with the chicken and gravy??
YES!!! thats it
Great now I want one! THANKS A LOT! They should rename it the heart attack sandwich.
thats exactly what i call it, last time we were at my moh's house Joe got one and i said that is basically a heart attack on a plate...but theres another one my MOH's bf gets that i think is called bushman or something like that and its the TCS basically but with bacon on it also

I just found the whole ‘Hindu family’ comment (number 1) off-putting…maybe because when I was growing up I totally wanted to be Indian, because all my best friends were and they had the best parties. The comment just seemed racist to me--but I know you didn't write it, so no harm, no foul! JMO
if that one is offensive to ppl then ill take it down

ANd actually i am going to have some cherry valley tonight YUMMMMM
There is another Cherry Valley in Ozone Park that my parents always talk about. Although it's not about food.......it's about parking your car and hooking up. They still won't tell me where 'Cherry' Valley got it's name. Howard Beach people always hung out with Ozone Park and kids from Corona.
