Slang for a guy who's, let's say, somewhat unendowed.

From "Hedwig and the Angry Inch", a very bizarre movie about a guy who has an operation to turn him into a woman, and it isn't entirely successful because the surgeon left an inch that was supposed to be excised, and Hedwig's reaction to this miscalculation, thus the title of the movie.
Hey, man check out Hedwig showerin' over there. That's totally LOL!

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.
