In DC, bouncer checks my ID, smiles and asks “What exit?”
To which, I reply “160 off the Parkway, 16 off the Turnpike.” I might be wrong about those being the closest, but he was amused.
Last week the National Spelling Bee was won by a girl from Jersey. Kevin e-mailed me to say “NJ hero wins spelling bee. That Canadian girl almost won, that would have been outrageous.”
The first thing CK said when he walked in the next morning was, “Hey, Jersey girl won the Spelling Bee, Jersey represents.” Which is proof that a) my friends are dorks who know about the Spelling Bee. B) We love Jersey, a lot.
Jon Stewart apparently had a segment on the Daily Show that made fun of Jersey which, for shame Jon Stewart, you are a Jersey boy.
T-Shirt spotted: “New Jersey: Don’t Worry, We Hate You Too”
I don’t smoke, but it’s outrageous that you cannot smoke in diners. I didn’t smoke in high school either, but if I was going to have a cigarette, it would be one that I (or more accurately, Marianne) bummed at Hillside.
I need a Jersey pride LJ icon, but I dont’ feel like looking for one to steal right now, but Jon Stewart is from Jersey and also hot, so he will do. Edited to add, that while he was not being a very fair host, Jon Stewart was awesome when he completely smacked down Bill Bennett. He’s seriously the best.
