living on a farm upstate

Being euthanized.

Buster got sick, he got a disease called 'rabies'. But a nice man came and volunteered to take care of him. He's going to be living on a farm upstate where he can run and play.

Worm: "Not so good. I dropped the soap yesterday."
Mike: "Ouch. So some guy showed you HIS worm?"
Worm: "Not exactly. I didn't see it, but I sure as hell felt it."

Farm upstate 

Term generally used by parents to explain the absence of a family pet. While sometimes meaning the pet has truly been rehomed, it generally is a euphemism for the animal dying, disappearing, being put down, or given to an animal shelter.

Child: “daddy, where did fluffy go?”
Father, covered in scratch marks: “well sweetie, fluffy went to live on a farm upstate…”

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.

Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Upstate 

The meaning of Upstate, New York:

Residents of northern New York State - the true Upstate region - know that the state consists of several regions. Namely, upstate, downstate, western (Buffalo and Rochester), central (Syracuse and Utica), and the city. (I like to think of Long Island as an orbiting moon, but it is better classified as a different planet all together.)

Albany is barely on the edge of Upstate, Poughkeepsie is NOT Upstate, and Newburgh is definitely NOT Upstate. It may be hard to fathom, but not everything in the state of New York revolves around the city, so therefore, everything above the city/Westchester is not Upstate.

Admittedly, Upstate may be "different" than New York City and other regions, but it is a term of pride, not a term of derision. Many ignorant downstaters (who probably don't recycle and drive Hummers) may not realize that Upstate is home to the Adirondack Mountains and the most beautiful natural areas of New York state. Always remember, not only does New York State have the largest, most culturally diverse, most amazing city on the east coast, it also has the largest tracts of pristine, protected wilderness lands east of the Mississippi in the northern, Upstate regions.

New York State is amazing, from top to bottom!

"Hey, wanna do something this weekend?"

"No thanks, I am going Upstate to my cabin on Lake George."

"Oh wow, you are so lucky! It is gorgeous up there."

"I know."
