Everybody has their sterotypical, long held cultural ideosyncracies that need to be made light of. My Big Fat Greek Wedding was one of the best examples. Countless movies poking fun at irish gangs, drunkenness and organized crime, right up there with that of the Mafia, are things that we make fun of just to laugh at ourselves. I wouldn’t call it condescension because it’s not meant in a mean spirited way. It’s poking fun at “the old ways.” No one’s passing judgement that it’s wrong or below anything that they do themselves.
I too get very grumpy when I’m stuck in a hotel room somewhere I don’t want to be.
Well, you know where to find me! Don’t mind the butler on your way in, he’s in a crap ass mood today. Something about wanting a raise, and could I go duck myself. I know, it didn’t make any sense to me either!
make fun of accents is ok as long as not a brooklyn accent.
benson…you gotta watch the video lechacal posted about the “cork soakers.”
Kens, correction: I live there, CGar lives on the deck.
“DH, Next time you find one in your dinner, you call me and tell me how it made you feel.”
If a roach makes his way into my bottled beer tonight – i’ll eat it. Swear.

“DH, if that’s addressed to me, I’m “fine” with them, as long as they don’t join me for dinner and drinks.”
Or become PART of your dinner and drinks.

Cobble and CGar, I think I visited your residence recently. You two must live here
