It’s a debate as old as time here. In North Jersey, if you ask for a pork roll egg and cheese sandwich, you will rightfully be made fun of mercilessly, while you’re looked at like you have bats flying out your ass. Because it’s called Taylor Ham here. Sadly in the parts of the state that don’t know any better (read: every part of the state outside of North Jersey), they call it pork roll. The only thing we all agree on is that it’s delicious lol. Edited June 29, 2019 by MadDog2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They call it pop out in western PA too. I spent my first year of college out there and it was truly the Midwest, even though technically it’s not considered part of the Midwest.

I spent my first year of college out there and it was truly the Midwest, even though technically it’s not considered part of the Midwest. I know exactly what you mean. I’ve always thought of PA as part of the northeast, but that’s really my own (maybe our?) prejudice because we are so close to eastern PA. Out in the western part of the state, that is definitely a midwestern mindset. In fact, it’s funny you mention this because my little story about hearing pop for the first time took place in Harrisburg, PA when I was at a gaming convention. It was a little old lady from western PA (if memory serves, this was 25 years ago) who had asked me about the pop machine.

DJ Eco Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) The dude is a gem, and so funny, he's totally going to put a lot of butts in the seats. I can already see it now though, one losing streak and that very predictable percentage of toxic NJ fans are going to default to him as an easy scapegoat and trot out the "less social media" nonsense like he's studying for SATs. I'm going to enjoy the ride until then though, he's giving us some entertainment in the offseason and getting me pumped for September!

I do also like that he's wearing a Devils shirt. He obviously didn't have to do that, makes me feel like the guy is coming here and looking to be part of the team. Very much unlike his "self centered" reputation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think even the idiots in our toxic fanbase will go after PK if he has say a rough 5-10 game stretch. He is an established world-class talent who is still largely in his prime. KK is a backup who got more minutes than he deserved and was putting up numbers that even most backups in the league would be embarrassed about yet was still clowning around on social media.
