I like how there are some Eagles fans in the r/nfl thread that claims this is fake news from Viking fans. It was as if they didn't know their own city's recent history.

Guaranteed most of them have never lived in city limits

Yo I'm from Philly
Yeah? Cool man where?
Norristown

This works for any part of Delco too.
"I mean, it's like ten minutes from the airport. Basically Philly."
32
We were in Disney a few years ago and someone asked where we were from. I said Philly and she was a local so I broke it down further by saying Delco. When she was familiar with Delco I broke it down further by saying Morton. Locally ill just say Delco or Ridley
17
I say I'm from Philly if I'm talking to an out of stater. It's just easier for them to get an idea.
11
I once hear this girl say she lived in Jersey near the airport which was "basically Philadelphia"
2
I guarantee those guys aren't even from city limits.
(moved from bucks county two months ago)

The worst response I’ve ever heard is “May’s Landing”
11
Jeez I had to Google that to even see where it is.
I was visiting a friend in Cali, and hanging out with a bunch of his friends. I told someone I lived in Philly, and was told, "Oh you should go say hi to Dave. He went to college in Philly." Turns out Dave went to Moravian, a college in Bethlehem, Pa., and had been telling all these West Coasters who don't know any better that he lived in Philly.

Mays Landing.......there;s no apostrophe

I moved to NC a fee months ago, and came across a bunch of "Philadelphians" from Bensalem, Pottstown, New Hope.
5
I only recently started to admit to people I'm originally from Norristown. Left 40 years ago. Philly just sounds (and is) a lot cooler.
2
Nah. West Chester

Blue Bell. A place I don't believe exists.

Blue Bell is a lovely suburb!

Says every IT recruiter...

Watching it on the 11PM news vs having to walk through the trash left behind after rioting on your way to work.

They did this at the Villanova campus befote their championship game two years ago.
5
And kids climbed them easily
4
Not Philly! Get it out of this sub!

I moved here like 4 years ago and have been greasing my pole ever since.

Obligatory

Did he died

Did he died — Nice.

i need context

This was after the Phillies won the World Series in 08. Dude climbed up the pole and people started throwing stuff at him. One guy had the perfect combo of great aim and great choice of bottle.
48
A classy bottle to be hit with
9
Wow, I can't believe that was almost a decade ago.
3
what was the bottle?
1
Maybe a high life?
8
But why climb up there?
1
Drunk
15
Why not?
2
I suppose this is why they grease the poles
7
70
I'm getting blasted on riot punch!
23
Put some of that on my bug bites.
6
Will Eagles fans do more damage with a win or a loss?
66
I'm pretty sure it's a win, and that's why I love Philly.
73
In my opinion it's whatever a city isn't used to. We've had lots of practice being disappointed. Big wins are what bring on the purge.
55
Yes
19
Yes.

My pants just got tighter, this is so fucking hot
51
Size queen.
31
let’s all grease our poles today
46
We should grease up Foles today too.
17
Foles’ pole would take a lot of grease tho
15
BIG DICK NICK
14
Should be top comment
2
We are all greased Poles on this fine day!
8
We really are getting weird tonight. Greasing our poles and buying furry costumes, and punching horses sounds like a weird sex move like a plumpkin kick or something.
41
Is that when a girl sucks you off while you're taking a shit and then she kicks you in the face?
5
Where I come from we just call that the ol' razzle dazzle

I can’t believe this is a legitimate task someone has to do. Mindblown

Per their FB post #PhiladelphiaPolegreaseDepartment

Saw a guy fall from the top of a light pole during the Phillies world series parade. It was scary AF. He got taken away by his friends and the police but was so out of his mind he couldn't even feel any pain at the time.
Every once and a while I wonder how fucked up he was after that.
Don't climb the poles people.
18
I saw a guy climb a pole and people built a fire underneath him. If I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it. It was like something out of a post apocalyptic novel.
9
Was that the fire on the scanner tonight?!?
1
No no, I should’ve been more clear- that was when the Phillies won. I’m old with a kid now and stayed the heck home today.

Hard to think that was 10 years ago.

I watched several folks likely shatter their legs after piling onto a bus shelter on broad and walnut in '08...I also got hit with a cop club that night. it was a good night
1
Birds do like to sit on light poles
11
I'm surprised that there are so many people who are surprised by this. It's like, are you new here?
9
It would be cheaper just to have Ronde Barber in Philly.
8
The real question is, who cleans them and when?
8
We both know no one will clean them
61
no one and never
5
It has the added benefit of repelling those stovepipe chimney sweepers who enjoy leaning on them so much.
1
grease up Philly, grease up.
7
Can confirm: Bought a cheesesteak from a street vendor near Love park. He cooked the steak in crisco.
5
i'll be greasing my pole during the game instead of watching it

We've been training for this for years in the Italian market
NOLA does it every year during Carnival. The problem there, too, is most of the posts lead to private balconies.
Balconies with topless women!
*Mardi Gras
Mardi Grad is the day before Ash Wednesday. Carnival is the few weeks leading up to it. There are parades most days for a fortnight. If you ever want to go, do it the weekend before Mardi Gras, then get the hell out'f Dodge before the day. You'll have just as good a time without wading through ankle deep puke.
TIL something. Been there for Mardi Gras...once. Wouldn't go back for serious money, serious women, or serious anything else.
Practicing our grip and stroke techniques... Once those polls get greased up, you can bet we're gonna have a good time.
Did you spell something wrong or...
😉
Same at Woody's...
