insanity_gallops Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 1) Friend of mine ran into Tara Reid at a pizza parlor in the area after she had just been tanning, and without makeup. Apparently she really didn't look attractive at all, and my buddy told me that she looked way too thin for her own good -- guess the camera adding 10 pounds is a great thing in her case, along with many other actresses. 2) Thanks PK, guess I wasn't clear about my intentions in that earlier post.

westcoastdevfan Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Just get out of the freakin' car and pump your own damn gas! That is the one thing I will never understand...You guys should do this to work off the calories from the fried Texas Weiner . (Which I have never even heard of, But I do love a fried egg on a buttered hard roll. _ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyk Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Why should we pump our own gas when we can sit in a nicely air conditioned car in the summer and a nicely heated car in the winter? Everyone is just jealous because we don't hafta pump our own gas AND it's cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevsRock Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Yea, I dont get this pump your own gas thing either. Why would I want to have to do that at night and in the rain etc? Or for that matter, any time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nieuwy25 Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 You don't. We're just jealous cause we DO have get out in the heat or rain or cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chort Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 doesn't the "pump gas" thing stem from the state's socialist roots and the quest for full employment? I did enjoy it, though, while living there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRASHER Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Hey the fact that in NY they charge you up to TWENTY CENTS MORE to pump the gas for you here I don't mind the fact that it stops price raping (gas in NJ is like 30 cents cheaper a gallon there) and it is fun when the attendant is slacking to get out of the car and watch his eyes pop out of his skull and HURRY over like the place will explode if I touch the pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeps Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Hey, when I'm out of state, I don't mind pumping gas, but it's definitely nice just to sit there and let them do it. Deep-fried hot dogs are textbook Jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoastdevfan Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 well, pumping gas is very easy and the gas pumps are covered. The rain never touches you... Did I mention I live in California and it hardly rains and only snows in the mountains? It's good to have someone else pump your gas because of the added jobs, but with all the factories and farms in New Jersey there should be a surplus of employment opportunities. Just wait until our "New" Hockeygiant retail store opens in Wayne...the job market will be endless! shameless plug A deep fried hotdog sounds good...I'll have to try one when I get there is less than a month! :wave: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepperkorn Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Like NO ONE else inthe country has a buttered roll? I HATE these things! So many of them apply to the whole North East fer gad's sake. Like no one else eats sausage & peppers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepperkorn Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Now THIS is good! Not sure if I posted it or not -- too lazy to search old posts You know you're from Michigan IF: 1. You've never met any celebrities. 2. "Vacation" means going to Cedar Point. 3. At least 1 member of your family disowns you the week of the Michigan/Michigan State game. 4. Half the change in your pocket is Canadian....eh? 5. You drive 86 mph on the highway and pass on the right. (I disagree with the pass on the right thing -- that's PA drivers!) 6. Your idea of a traffic jam is 40 cars waiting to pass an orange barrel. 7. You know how to play (and pronounce) Euchre. 8. It's easy to get VERNOR'S ginger ale and SANDERS hot fudge sauce, and Faygo pop. (we weren't allowd to say pop Have no idea why not.) 9. You know how to pronounce "Mackinac". 10. You've had to switch on the "heat" and the "A/C" in the same day. 11. You bake with SODA and drink POP. (well except in our house) 12. The movie "Escanaba in Da Moonlight" wasn't funny. You consider it a documentary. 13. Your little league game was snowed out. 14. The word "thumb" has geographical, rather than anatomical significance. 15. You show people where you grew up by pointing to a spot on your right hand. 16. Traveling coast-to-coast means driving from Port Huron to Muskegon. 17. You measure distance in minutes. 18. When giving directions, you refer to "A Michigan Left." 19. You know that Kalamazoo not only exists, but isn't far from Hell. 20. Your year has 2 seasons: Winter and Construction. 21. Home Depot on any Saturday is busier than toy stores at Christmas. 22. You know when it has rained because of the smell of worms. 23. Owning a Japanese car was a hanging offense in your hometown. 24. You believe that "down south" means Toledo. 25. YOU ACTUALLY "GET" THESE JOKES AND FORWARD THEM ON TO ALL YOUR MICHIGAN FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

Chort Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 the Michigan thing is funny. I now live in Michigan (not from there) and I get most of these as well. the slow drivers staying in the left (passing lane) and forcing you to pass them in the right lane is a Michigan, Penn, and central Ohio thing.

We haved many more Ny/NJ implants then we do from anywhere else. All the snowbird retirees that split time between the two. And that doesnt even factor in full time transplants.

Jerrydevil Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 After reading this thread yesterday, I went to Rutt's Hutt in Clifton for a Ripper. For those who don't know, a Ripper is a fried hot dog that's been left long enough in the oil to split....leaving a nice cavity for your toppings! So bad for you, but so good.
