New Jersey represent:
Beware of toilet talk.
Aaaaah,
screw you guys! Have you ever been to Long Island? Staten Island? Or even RHODE Island? How do you know these guys aren't from one of THOSE places??
Yeah - fine - these guys are quite possibly from Jersey - but so was Sonic Youth - so was Debbie Harry - so was Sandra Dee, Connie Francis, Whitney Houston, Robert Blake, Jeaneane Garofalo, Linda Hunt, Bill Maher, Grover Cleveland, Bebe Neuwirth (!), Kelly Ripa, Eva Marie Saint, Jon Stewart, Loretta Swit, Jack Warden, Flip Wilson, Glen Danzing, Judy Blume, Allen Ginsberg, Paul Robeson, Count Basie, George Clinton, Lesley Gore, Ice-T (YES, Ice-T!), Kate Pierson, QUEEN LATIFAH, The Boss, Frankie Valli, Sarah Vaughn, Tom Verlaine, Dick Button, Michael Chang, Marvin Hagler, Derek Jeter, Carl Lewis, Phil Rizzuto, Mary Decker, Joe Theisman, Jersey Joe Walcott, Buzz Aldrin, Justice William Brennan, Andrea Dworkin, Alfred Kinsey, Martha Stewart, Zippy the Pinhead, MY MOM, and Tom Scharpling! JUST TO NAME A FEW.
AAAAND, like it or not, if you grew up here, you have more of a claim to being from "the New York area," than all the johnny-come-latelies who emigrated from Montreal or Omaha or wherever, started their kick-ball leagues in Brooklyn, and have the nerve to look down on people who access Manhattan from the OTHER side.
Lame.
