My great x 7 grandfather founded the colony, which was burned to the ground and all the people captured by Indians. He eventually negotiated their safe release but by then it was wintertime and many people starved. I will definitely check out the food digs you mention and eat sushi as I learn about his heroics. @Andrew This has turned into the Jerry Seinfeld of blog posts. : )

This of course, has nothing to do with anything. Okay, all this talk about Kingston has compelled me to say that I once lived there, and am presently missing Deisings Bakery and Kyoto Sushi.

Does this still count as being a geek? P.S. I called the couple in Kingston. Yeah, they agree with me, too. Piece of trivia: My ancestors were the first Dutch settlers of Kingston, NY. So put that in your pipe and smoke it Mose. It’s Saturday night but everybody is sleeping. Does this still count as being a geek?

Everybody knows he’s an ass ... I will have you know there is a couple outside of Kingston NY that do not know that ... yet! Shelly how is that for Saturday night snark!

My first friend in smartassity. That is so cool! I think part of the problem here is I am so damn un-hip, hence my narrow definition of snark. I only see the term used in the mean-spirited, social media variety. I have almost no exposure to popular TV culture except sports. I need to get out more. Perhaps I should start reading People magazine or something to get my cool on. : ) Wow. My first friend in smartassity. That is so cool!

I'm with Mark Wintz and his urban definition of "snarky." It's a skill. It is wit, combined with sarcasm (usually directed at self, in my case) and silliness and irony. There are mean and arrogant and nasty people everywhere. You might call that snark but, to me, that's just mean, arrogant and nasty people being themselves. In fact, in my experience, those people have no idea the talent that's involved in being truly snarky. When done well (and correctly) it's a true art form. There you have it - my take. Snark is not nastiness - nastiness is nastiness. Snark is wit mixed with a whole lot of other cool stuff and mostly makes people laugh. Snark is something to aspire to, practice and hold in high regard. And the hell with those mean and nasty people. Your friend in smartassity, @shellykramer Marky-Mark,

Everybody knows he's an ass and can benefit from a good swift snark right in the patootie. You get a snarky free pass for the day. OK, Sheldon, direct it at Mose then.
