New Jersey only wishes it was cool enough to be part of the North East.

I plead the 5th.

A fifth of what? Everclear? And just because you’re drunk, that’s no excuse.

Aaah, the Pit:

Get a clue. I plead the 5th, in regards to self incrimination.

The drunkenness comes later on this week.

**Because the apparent path of the fucking sun goes below the equator. Even during the summer, everyfucking one of the sun’s rays hits New Jersey at about a fifteen degree angle or more, but during the winter, the bastards hit at up to a sixty-five degree angle. This means that you get less than half the fucking light, and consequently get less than half the fucking heat. Be thankful for the piece of shit Gulf Stream, or it might even be colder.

Oh wait, this isn’t GQ?:smack: **

I nominate this for the best…ahem, the absofuckinglutely best Goddamn GQ post that will never fucking happen. If the fucking rules didn’t fucking forbid colorful fucking language in that fucking forum, we might have more of these.

Better not make it the Air Force. ** Tripler ** tried to escape NJ that way.

You know, I forgot to mention, that I like New Jersey.

Please, save your insults for later. . .

Actually, New Jersey isn’t considered the Northeast, but more the Mid-Atlantic. The Northeast still sucks, even though you ain’t there.

Lessee: if you take the 48 contiguous states, and choose lines of latitude and longitude that roughly bisect that piece of territory, then NJ will be in the NE quadrant of the country defined by those lines.

The Northeast Corridor, as it is commonly known, runs from DC to Boston, going right through NJ. (As in, “You live in New Jersey? Which exit?” ;))

I’m aware that colloquial definitions of regions aren’t very precise, but NJ is a Northeastern state.

Yeah, I think Joisey counts as “Northeastern,” too. It’s too specific a term to be a colloquialism.

The colloquial terms for this part of the country would be “New England” (coastal Maine from the Bay of Fundy all the way down to where Connecticut merges into Westchester county), then “Mid-Atlantic” (starting at New York City and Long Island and heading down the Jersey coast).

The big question is…where does “Mid-Atlantic” END? The Chesapeake region? Chincoteague? Myrtle Beach? Savannah? Miami?

If it’s sunny this morning I can probably leave my sweater in the car for the walk to the front door of the gym…

O.K., I’m sorry about that last post.

If it makes you feel any better, sometimes I wish I lived in your part of the country. I could certainly bitch about a lot of things in Southern California too, though usually not the weather.

[apotheosis]

Hell, I walked out the door this morning and it was 60 degrees and nicely humid.

In Kansas City.

Now granted, this being the midwest, 9 inches of solid ice might be dumped on everything in a 200-mile radius by this afternoon.

Does anybody know what a delapidated shack on Grand Bahama Island costs? Maybe I should set my sights on something like that. Or maybe just a small parcel of land? Who needs shelter?

Funny. I thought Buffalo is where people go to die.

**That’s the whole state of Florida.
Buffalo is where all the sinners go after they die. **

You’re both wrong. One listen to Soul Coughing’s “Ruby Vroom” and you’d know…

You are going to Reseda;
We are all in some way or another going to Reseda someday to die.

And it’s not usually cold there either.

Both MeFootsZZZ, MyFootsZZZ and I… FootsZZZ?

OR me and friedo!

Man, I’d love to see some snow down here for once. It’s my understanding that Huntsville gets a couple of dustings every year (unlike my former home, Montgomery, where the state government all goes home if there’s a flurry sighted anywhere closer than Birmingham.) But so far, no luck. So all you northerners go outside, face south, and blow real hard, OK?

Not that I don’t like the 60-70 degree weather, mind you, but we need some cold to kill all these fucking ladybugs. Dratted pests.

So I can ski

Thanks, RT.

We the MADs hereby disclaim all responsibility for New Jersey. Especially that damn turnpike and everything more than a block and a half off the Atlantic City boardwalk.

And somebody shut Springsteen up for Christ’s sake, will you?
