I LOVE NJ

fivezero by fivezero · Aug 7, 2003 · 560 views · Journal

this is just some silly thing that was forwarded to me about sixty times within the last year or so. i picked some of the things that grabbed my attention.

fun facts about NJ:

New Jersey has the most diners in the world and is sometimes referred to as the Diner Capital of the World.


New Jersey is home to the original mystery pork chub parts, Taylor Ham or Pork Roll!


New Jersey rocks! The famous Les Paul invented the first solid body electric guitar in Mahwah in 1940


New Jersey is home to both of NEW YORK'S Pro Football Teams!


The first radio station and broadcast was in Paterson, NJ.


Jersey tomatoes are known the world over as being the best you can buy.


North Jersey has the most shopping malls in one area in the world,with seven major shopping malls in a 25 square mile radius.


New Jersey has the most dense system of highways and railroads in the US.


New Jersey is the only state where all of its counties are classified as metropolitan areas.


Atlantic City has the longest boardwalk in the world.

you know your from jersey when:


You've known the way to Seaside Heights since you were seven.


You know what a "jug handle" is.


You know that this is the only "New..."state that doesn't require "New" to identify it (like...Mexico,...York,...Hampshire - doesn't work, does it?)


You don't think "What exit?" is very funny.


You refer to all highways and interstates by the numbers


You don't consider Newark or Camden to actually be part of the state.


And finally... You've NEVER, EVER pumped your own gas.

debassedbassist #8.1 debassedbassistOG 2003

malibu #9 malibuOG 2001

diners really are the best thing. i love them. but sadly the best diner i have ever been to is in long island. the menu was 10 pages long i kid you not. but jersey diners are just so much fun and there's so many of them. i wanna own a diner.

malibu #9.1.1 malibuOG 2001

debassedbassist #10.1.1 debassedbassistOG 2003

skaorsk8 #10.1.1.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

you two are a real hoot. clearly, someone left the door to the looney bin open.

debassedbassist debassedbassistOG 2003

well how do you know we dont have internet access here at the asylum?

tinser tinserOG 2002

yeah, i'm so excited about the new cable modems. I've stopped biting the guards since we got optimum.

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

hahhaha...what a nutcase.

tinser tinserOG 2002

excuse me. They try to refer to us as "reality challenged" in the center...please refrain from the name calling danhill.

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

WHERE ARE THE SPACES IN MY NAME!!

debassedbassist debassedbassistOG 2003 skaorsk8

you have no spaces

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 debassedbassist

yes! i have been here for many many many many years, so i demand spaces!

tinser tinserOG 2002 skaorsk8

umm, does one year really qualify as "many many many years"?

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 tinser

listen, you've had a whole lifetime to grow past 5 feet and get a car that isn't a jetta, and you've failed on both counts. PLUS, you're still friends with jahanna. get yourself on track, then we can discuss my "many many many many years".

walkngplaygrnd walkngplaygrndOG 2003 skaorsk8

The level of sarcasm in here is so intense . . . I can't help but love this place . . . oh ezabel, where have you been my whole life?

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 walkngplaygrnd

it's been here. you were clearly distracted by working at some JOB. How lame!!

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 walkngplaygrnd

milt, it's too bad you didn't run while you had the chance. i see it's efffected your central nervous system...ezabel is like ebola except with less bleeding from the rectum.

walkngplaygrnd walkngplaygrndOG 2003 fivezero

ah, but bri . . . don't u think I fit in here? you know as well as anybody of my love for sarcasm . . . are there subliminal messages in these posts or something?

tinser tinserOG 2002 skaorsk8

5'5, navy jetta, and i never called her a friend ;)

tesoro tesoroOG 2001 tinser

ohhhhhhhh, that's IT! no more playing with my cat for YOU!

tinser tinserOG 2002 tesoro

eww, playing with your cat? haha, is that what you call backing up over it repeatedly?

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 tesoro

that could be taken multiple ways. anyway, tinser, forget her cat. i have cat and shes called Jazzy. you can hold her like a baby.

walkngplaygrnd walkngplaygrndOG 2003 fivezero

Jazzy is CRAZY! but she's always trying to escape, as if you guys are holding her hostage against her will . . .

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 walkngplaygrnd

not anymore, bro. we have her hiiiigh as a kite on cat nip, walking around, layin' about, stumbling around doing twirlies like a deranged feline flower child. and also we're getting a kitty! my cousins cat had kittens and we're gettin' the runt. she's totally black with white boots. bless her lil kitty soul.

walkngplaygrnd walkngplaygrndOG 2003 fivezero

awwwwwwww . . . really? kitties are SOOOOO cute . . . and for somebody who's not a cat-lover, Rosie sure has warmed up to 'em . . . and maybe u should start callin Jazzy "Jizzle" instead since you have her stoned all the time . . .

tesoro tesoroOG 2001 fivezero

you have never met my cat...my cat is the most docile cat ever...he's the BEST!

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 tesoro

your cat would taste good on my dinner plate with some egg foo young . now shut it. no more cat talk.

tesoro tesoroOG 2001 ilikebirds

after all i do for you...this is how you repay me...you better sleep w/ one eye open in aruba.

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 tesoro

you better sleep w/ your clothes on in aruba.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 tesoro

never met your cat, but i wrote on the wall in your closet.

debassedbassist debassedbassistOG 2003 fivezero

my cat is pure evil

tesoro tesoroOG 2001 fivezero

aww yea!! soo long ago! that was when you sal and kevin came over..was that when we all sat in my backyard in the middle of the night freezing to death singing songs while sal and matt played guitar? haha

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 tesoro

nah, we met people and went to this italian resturant where someone you knew worked and then we went to some gathering...it's all so very blurry now. i remember michael dela was sad because he accidentally hit some girl in the face and gave her a mark. and and and, i don't remember anything else...this was like five years ago..

tesoro tesoroOG 2001 fivezero

haha, yea, bella napoli...that's where deanna works...ahh, memories. :)

tinser tinserOG 2002 tesoro

why do you always refer to it as she?

tesoro tesoroOG 2001 tinser

Courtney, it is BOTH and NEITHER all at the same time...it changes sex spontaneously in a single sex environment.

tinser tinserOG 2002 tesoro

haha, beautifully done....did you say you have a t-rex???? Say it again!

tesoro tesoroOG 2001 tinser

your praise means the world to me. thankyou.

tinser tinserOG 2002 tesoro

walkngplaygrnd walkngplaygrndOG 2003 rocksupastar
