Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had to learn a new name for bulkie rolls when I left Somerville -- I had never heard them called anything else.

Chicago area, they're only called kaiser rolls. I've never heard of "bulkies" before!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I've never heard "bulkie" before. I've always heard them as kaisers.

Art Crawl!!!

Okay, I've never heard them called "bulkie" either.

Is Chicago the only place that calls them kaisers?

Never heard of bulkies until this very day. And my parents even lived in Boston for 2 years ! (long before I was born.)

No, I think Boston is the only place they are called bulkies. I learned kaiser in Philly.

Well you do have a much bigger German/Austro/Hugarian population than Boston.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I've never heard "bulkie" before.

The Shooter Buddy quickly realigns the particles in your beverage by surrounding them with extremely powerful Neodymium (ne-o-dím-e-um) magnets. These are the strongest magnets currently known to man. They’re made from a combination of rare earth elements that create an extremely powerful replica of the Earth’s magnetic field.

In as little as ten seconds, Shooter Buddy restores the natural balance destroyed in the production process, recaptures the fresh taste of nature, and duplicates the smooth mellow flavor generated by years of traditional slow aging.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I know my stepmother used to call them bulkies, in Maine, but I remember even then thinking that was not the only word for them. Perhaps the geographical dividing line is in Connecticut.
