Hey, non-New Jersey residents who come in contact with Jersey people

Mississippi is not the same south that I live in. That place is pretty fugged up.

 

Are ufo's from NJ? Problem solved,,,

 

most people ive met from new jersey were very nice considering they are from the north but ive only met a few surfers from jersey and id say 50/50 on that. but over all i dont consider the fist pumpers real new jersians? they just give yall a bad name.

 

I grew up on Long Island. Similar...probably worse. I'd say yes, but I don't hate you for it. I'm used to it. Takes all kinds man...

 

I agree brew. North Carolina one of my favorite places in south but Mississippi is trash

 

Years ago, I called Fort Monmouth. Had to do with work. The way some of the folks there spoke was like Curly from the Three Stooges...."Why soytenly!" I didn't realize that people actually spoke that way.
But I'll take that over a Boston accent like those "Hoppah" (Hopper) characters in that annoying series of commercials. One of which was just on a few minutes ago.

 

PB&J - I think this board is getting all chummy and coombahyahish after Clemmy put on that Thanksgiving in May extravaganza that I was uninvited to and should've but didn't crash. Not that it's a bad thing. I far rather enjoy getting along with peeps than eye for and eye, toe to toe encounters. Don't fear the latter as it's gotta be in one's repertoire, but survival of one's kind is facilitated by extension of the support network, and this forum is getting very supportive as of late. If it weren't considered sacrilege to call surfing a sport here, we'd all be a bunch of athletic supporters. Think about that!

I definitely support the honest introspection of both SUPporter and PB&J even though they are at odds. I can sense that the tree of trust here is narrowing the divide between them and they'll soon be brahs shotting piers together and spotting each other in vigorous bench-off training.

You're crazy guys, but I love you. By the way, you got a dart in your neck, brah.

 

Are you referring to the U.S.S. Diversity that was heavily relied upon during the Civil War Era? Good call, because I think it resides in Philly.

 

Hipsters = diversity/individualism?

 

I have a cousin from New York and she is cool. And I did meet a non surfer from jersey and he was cool. Not sure if that counts. Pb&j, stay off the 125 hour energys

 

Before you rule out our dialect, spend a few days down south and see how the fairer gender takes to you. You'll know what a hot blonde in the northeast feels like on Saturday night.

 

Ole Miss remains the one state I've yet to set foot in out of the entire southern region. And I've spent quite a bit of time in the others. There's a sort of mysticism it holds with me as a result. I've basically seen it all at this point, but a state still today willing to fly its flag with that of the Confederacy has got to come at you with all guns blazing.

A state that is the poorest in the nation yet the 3rd least stressed has something figured out. Then again, they're the 3rd least happy. They've learned to sustain their suffering economy by turning catfish into an aquacultural cash crop. Since they still had an active interest in secession until the 1980s, it makes me think they're hiding something the rest of us would want.

Prohibition was federally repealed in 1933 and 3/4 of the nation ratified the 21st Amendment within a year. Mississippi didn't do so until 33 years later. C'mon, if they didn't need booze down there then something else was cooking in their kitchen. The entire Counterculture of the '60s could have originated in Ole Miss.

Please note that in the time taken to compose this post, I simultaneously booked flights to Jackson. Johnny Cash sure liked to get after it, and claims to have preferred doing so in that town. Heck, they used to call it the Gold Coast. Anyone else coming?

 

Wow i almost fell of my chair reading this... not due to laughing but this was everyones chance to bash jersey- or at least tell it like it is so we know how we can change... but no one 'took the bait'!!!

I live in jersey... and dont have much to say about it.... except PB&J - he is first class... seriously...

 

Do you know how guys from Joisey get circumcised? The doc kicks his sister on the jaw.

 

No drama here, and definitely not trying to get you in "trouble", I responded to your PM too so we should be good now, was just having some fun. For the record, I love me some PB&J...

 

That's correct. However, many a Jerzite makes a great case for their gene deletion by how they dress, speak and act.

 

Meh, there's jerks everywhere--as well as nice folks.

The only thing I don't get is people from farther North saying that Southerners are so much more racist. It's simply not true. Some Southerners may let the racist flag fly a little higher and without remorse, but I've met plenty of Northerners who are just as, if not more, racist than the people they denigrate as such.

For one: Connecticut is more segregated than most Southern states, it just isn't so through law....

 

That's dead on, if you drive through New Haven you'll go from the Yale campus full of the elite and in a matter of two blocks you're in the hood. Same thing around east rock...highly affluent community to third world country in a matter of 2 or 3 blocks.
