People who use "bicoastal" in that way are almost universally disgusting savages: y/n?

carl how would you feel about 'tricoastal'

trans-coastal

carl how would you feel about 'tricoastal'

Mostly confused.

i guess it's more a cleveland thing, but i think you also can legitimately claim to be a north-coaster

Oh yeah, they say third coast here. I forgot.

Any Cleveland/NE Ohio kid who grew up in the 80s was familiar with

If you live in the midwest, does that make you acoastal?

what if you live on lake superior

polycoastal?

i think 'third coast' has seeped westward from ohio a bit

if you live on lake superior you live 'up north'

OMG MICHAEL STANLEY BAND

Down in Akron we were such losers that we shouted AKRON! after the first line of the chorus of "My Town"

This town is my town
(AK-RON!)
Alright
Love or hate 'er, it don't matter
I'm gonna stand and fight

etc until we all shriveled up in a rubber-coated heap of self loathing

<3 u for that

You guys had Devo, the Dead Boys and Pretenders, what were you doing listening to MSB?

I was a kid, he was on the radio, what can I say?

I know that feel.

Eat yer hearts out, bicoastals. I am supra-coastal.

Can I be ex and bi coastal?

oh wow you live near a body of water you must be amazing

i live in the world's most isolated island chain so suck it

iso-costal

Can I be ex and bi coastal?

i disagree

Technically the The Pretenders are a British band and the Dead Boys a New York band.

fine you can't touch tin huey or the rubber city rebels or the bizarros so bacdafucup
or devo
or jim jarmusch

;)

Everyone know's I love Ohio punk rock/new wave! Just being a pedant.

No mention of Ubu? For shame!

Even though I technically made him a cappuccino (half steamed milk, half foam) he said that I made the best latte he’d ever had, except for this little place in Greece. I never bothered to correct him, because I didn’t want to sacrifice the dollar tip he always tossed in the jar.

what this guy lacks in ruling class, he makes up for in quiddities

quiddities and agonies of just generally narcissistic and insufferable people

when writers become famous they are definitely recognized around town for being writers

btw his "piece in the Paris Review" is a short blog post about clothes shopping.

This fits...or does it?

But this definitely does:

Ms. Manrao has plenty of experience when it comes to setting the mood. After serving as the director of design and brand experience for a group of Starwood Hotels, including the W, the St. Regis and the Luxury Collection, she started her own firm. She knows what quickens the pulse: a bar or a place to have a nightcap, layers of lighting and, most important, a double chaise or an ottoman large enough for “canoodling,” she said.

“You need to have places to have sex other than the bed,” she clarified. “I don’t mean to sound brash, but that’s what people want.”

In fact, she would approach almost any space, for either couples or single clients, in the same manner, she said, though her design philosophy does seem particularly germane for a divorced client hoping to re-enter the dating world.

“I never discuss it with them in these terms, but if you’re transitioning into this lifestyle, this is what you need,” she said. “I try to always get them to let me do their whole bedding package, and do really good down duvets, the whole thing,” she added. “You have a lady friend over — in this age bracket, you should have nice stuff.”
