So, You Know NJ?

Loaded with NJ trivia!


So, how much of this stuff did you know?

I have seem this before, but in two separate clips.

Yeah, me too but so much time between I'd forgotten most of the stuff on the list. I don't know if I knew 30% of it. You?

Vig II,

Neat post...I recalled many items of the first set... a few of the actors & notable personalities...
&
I think Michael Douglas was born in New Brunswick. I know that Roy Scheider (Jaws)
was born in Orange and lived in Maplewood. General Schwartzkopf was born in Trenton, lived in Maplewood
for awhile, and had a shooting range in his basement...


How about our contributions to golf (hope I didn't miss this in the write-up)
The Golf Tee was born at the Maplewood CC
and the Mulligan was rooted in the Essex Fells Club.[ From a Mulligan who made a habit of "Duffing"
his first attempt at striking the ball. (mmm wonder who Duff was)]

Not to mention our questionable contributions to the English language...
Djeet? Hang a louie...

OK, now I'm exhausted...


I think I'll read it again..

HEY! You-boys from JOISEY???
I always say I'm from Western New Jersey. The cities haven't gotten to us yet.

I went down there in '05 to pick up my Harley .... so I pull into a gas station & start pumping, & I'm sitting there goin' WTF is this guy standing next to me for! I say "can I help you" sort of sarcastically .... then I look around & nobody is pumping their own gas .... I'm like "full service aye?" .... He says, "yep" So I kept pumping...

Wasn't until I got home that I realized NJ was FULL SERVICE everywhere! I still don't get the point of that ... but that's fine with me. I'm all for being as lazy as possible! Also had no idea cell phones were a no no also ... .. I can imagine the comments in the cars I was passing in the left lane, 30 over the limit, trailer in tow & a phone stuck in my ear for most of the trip. MASSHOLE!

Hey Smity, If it wasn't for the lic plates giving you away they would have thought you belonged here!.....lol

Yeah actually your right .... I was telling my buddies "everyone drives like me down here!"

I think George Carlin was inspired by New Jersey drivers when said something along lines of:
"Have you ever noticed that drivers going slower than you, are morons,
and drivers going faster than you are Maniacs?"
Guess, I know where that puts me.
If I wave as I go by does that make me a friendly maniac?

New Jersey believes it is TOO DANGEROUS for drivers to pump their own fuel...

No,meneether.

There's a chicken in the oven but I have this sudden craving for some really good Pizza.
Back in the sixties there was a "pizza joint" down the shore in Ortley on the bayside.
Costies (sp?) ( pronounced coss-tees) They had great pizza. I asked the fellow how they did it...
he said that apart from their prime ingredients, the pizza was baked/roasted on a buttered pan...
Never had a better pizza (better than joints in the City)...crust to die for...

Chicken again
