Yeah, I hate 'em too, and my first thought was “shish-ka-bob” (thinking of a halal cart), or “a knish” (thinking of a hot-dog cart – though most halal carts also sell hot dogs and knishes). But I doubted that’d be a very popular answer :slight_smile:

27

In my childhood, I spent many hours on Otsego Lake, fishing, sailing, waterskiing, swimming. Chased Baseball legends at the Otesaga hotel for autographs, Glimmerglass is the a statepark on the North side of the lake. I thought Lake Placid would be the most popular answer. I even searched natty bumppo’s cave on the east Side of the lake.

Now that I’ve looked at the other answers - WTF is up with all the “Brooklyn Dodgers” answers for a “defunct” NY team? They aren’t defunct; they just moved (despite what Brooklyn thinks).

30

Well I interpreted “defuncted” as “moved”. Although I could have been snippy and said the Giant and the Jets.

3 - I had an annoying officemate that was a Cornell grad. I had to lookup the spelling.
7 - Gotta give The Ramones some love, and this should do better than “53rd & 3rd”
