[QUOTE=pseudotriton ruber ruber] I mean, Jim, I don’t only want to know your zip code, I want to know your apartment number, and the best way to your bed with a knife between my teeth at 2 a.m. Oh, and which side of the bed you’re on–near the window? Thanks so much. [/QUOTE] pssssst…Jim…he was at the dopefest…BEWARE!!! I’m going to change my location back to my original “Swamps of Jersey” from the Bruce Springsteen song Rosalita. It was fun having my Exit #s as my location, but if most people don’t know it’s about Joe Piscopos joke and the New Jersey Turnpike, it’s pointless. And the Swamps of Jersey isn’t the island in the UK. ---

[QUOTE=Loach] I live in Central New Jersey. If you are from New Jersey you would know that unless you live on Cape May or High Point everyone considers themselves from Central New Jersey. I thought I would narrow it down a bit more. That’s all you’re getting fuckwad. [/QUOTE] While I know that some people think thats true, I know that not everyone in NJ thinks its true. (to know that, I’d have to live in NJ. 😃 Still, I’d like to avoid topics that we might find interesting, but others wouldn’t. Like why we suddenly have to bag our leaves with paper bags, but raking them to the curb for front-loader pick-up is unacceptable. And c’mon… save the ‘fuckwad’ stuff for when we’re both driving on Rt3, would ya? Thanks. 😉 ---

[QUOTE=Plynck] Well, “Nawth of Bawstin” is North of Boston, and I am on the shore. Lynn, specifically. But I’ll be damned if I know what Yeat! means. I’m assuming that Debaser is a nod to Los Pixies? [/QUOTE] > [@Finagle](#): > > Guess I haven’t lived here long enough. Someone says “Yeat”, and I think they live in Innisfree in a cabin built of clay and wattles. Yep. My username is something I picked for online gaming many years ago without giving too much thought and I’ve been using it ever since. I’m indeed a Pixies fan. Now that you both are aware of the term “Yeat!” (Always with an exlimation point, BTW.) You’ll both start to notice it. In a bar anywhere near Newburyport you’ll hear drunks loudly barking it at the moon. “YEEAAAT!” You’ll also notice cars with those location stickers have it as well: “IRE” for Ireland, “YEAT!” for the North Shore. I’ve heard tales that wandering northerners as far away as Texas have found neighbors from the area by simply calling out “YEAT!” in a crowded train station or city street. The term is a nautical greeting. In times of old it was yelled from one ship passing another or coming in port to trade. ---
