An odd pairing of the greatest, biggest, most sophisticated and cosmopolitan city in the world with some backwater, flat, conservative, obnoxious, whitebread, redneck, chickenshit boringass bunghole in the backwoods of Upstate New York. Contrary to Island belief, we New Yorkers do NOT consider Long Islanders to be our brethren.
