One was called the boss for good reason. George Steinbrenner - a great, visionary baseball-loving man who knew how to spend his money...

The other one's an asshole from Jersey
who should just shut the fuck up and sing.
Bruce Springsteen was arrested for DWI and reckless driving in his home state, it wasn't revealed until Wednesday. He must have some buddies who clammed up when it happened. The announcement came just days after he appeared in a much-hyped Super Bowl commercial for Jeep. Jeep immediately dumped his ass. Good.
The “Born to Run” icon, 71, was busted Nov. 14 at Gateway National Recreation Area in Sandy Hook, New Jersey, a spokesperson for the National Park Service said. Springsteen was charged with DWI, reckless driving and consuming alcohol in a closed area. He had one shot of Tequila offered to him by a fan.
Somebody finally dropped a dime on his ass - his superstar status didn't help him keep this outta the news after all.

Remember these jerkoffs from MTV?
Not one single one of these fuckin' baboons was from New Jersey. They were mostly all from Staten Island. Somehow, sadly, they're all pretty much still alive.
...
You know you're really from Jersey when...
You don't think of fruit when people mention "The Oranges."
You know that it's called Great Adventure, not Six Flags.
A good, quick breakfast is a hard roll with butter.
You've known the way to Seaside Heights since you were seven.
You know that the state isn't one big oil refinery.
You know what a "jug handle" is.
You know that WaWa is a convenience store.
You know that the state isn't all farmland.
You know that there are no "beaches" in New Jersey--there's the shore--and you don't go "to the shore," you go "down the shore." And when you are there, you're not "at the shore"; you are "down the shore."
You know how to properly negotiate a circle.
You knew that the last sentence had to do with driving.
You know that this is the only "New" state that doesn't require "New" to identify it (try . . Mexico . . . York ..! . . Hampshire-- doesn't work, does it?).
You know that a "White Castle" is the name of BOTH a fast food chain AND a fast food sandwich.
You consider putting mayo on a corned beef sandwich a sacrilege.
You don't think "What exit?" is very funny.
You know that people from the 609 area code are "a little different." Yes they are!
You know that no respectable New Jerseyan goes to Princeton--that's for out-of-staters.
You live within 20 minutes of at least three different malls.
You refer to all highways and interstates by their numbers.
Every year you have at least one kid in your class named Tony.
You know the location of every clip shown in the Sopranos opening credits.
You've gotten on the wrong highway trying to get out of the mall.
You know that people from North Jersey go to Seaside Heights, and people from Central Jersey go to LBI, and people from South/West Jersey go to Wildwood.
It can be no other way.
You weren't raised in New Jersey--you were raised in either North Jersey, Central Jersey or South Jersey.
You don't consider Camden to actually be part of the state
You remember the stores Korvette's, Two Guys, Rickel's, Channel, Bamberger's and Orbach's.
You also remember Palisades Amusement Park.
You've had a boardwalk cheese steak and vinegar fries.
You start planning for Memorial Day weekend in February.
And finally - You've never pumped your own gas.

You guys know I love my gadgets.
Here's one I got for the garage.
I have it on the workbench -
works like a friggin' champ.

This is classic 'Jersey speak'

Let's get serious for one second here:
With all of the snow you guys up north have gotten , you should all make sure your exhaust vents for your furnace, hot water heater, and any other appliances are clear. If they become blocked by snow they can cause deadly carbon monoxide to build up in your house. It's a painless but really fuckin' stupid way to die. Juss' sayin'...
There's assholes on both sides of the aisle it appears...

Rosie O’Donnell - another piece of shit who claims to be from Jersey - is having some trouble selling her $6 million Saddle River mansion.
The New Jersey property has been on the market for the past five years — and still can’t find a buyer. Good. Fuck her - and her girlfriend/wife/whatever.

This is the official sandwich of the Garden State -
especially down the Jersey Shore.
(And NOT that stupid fuckin' MTV bullshit)
The Taylor ham/pork roll, egg and cheese is probably New Jersey's most iconic sandwich, with delis around the state claiming they make the best or the biggest or the most famous. Nothing gets us (Ex-) Jerseyans going like the mention of Taylor ham or pork roll, even if it degenerates into a sophomoric debate over which is the proper term. For the zillionth time: All Taylor ham is pork roll, but not all pork roll is Taylor ham. The latter is a brand name. Don’t call it Taylor ham if it’s not Taylor ham.
THIS is Taylor Ham. Nothing else is.
If you're from Jersey, you know it's true.
If you're from Jersey, you know it's true.

If your or someone you know has Gout,
you have to read this...
Black Cherry Concentrate does one thing - and one thing only.
It breaks down Uric Acid in your system
It does nothing else. It doesn't interfere with anything, it has no side effects or contra-indications with other drugs or supplements that I know of. It does just one thing. It knocks down the severity and frequency of gout flareups. I haven't had one in probably five or so years taking just two of these a day. It's a god-send. Believe me.

Doesn't Jersey also have the most people per sq mile also.?
ReplyDeleteSorry I've been there 3 times over the years. not a fan
Bruce, I loved until like Bono he tried to sell his politics during his concerts. Why does a guy with his kind of money drive himself around. I know he'll walk on this beef ,but it would be fun to watch this sissy squirm a bit. I wonder if he called his fireman son to bail his ass out
He got off with a slap on the wrist.
DeleteSorry, if you just say Jersey, you are referring to the largest of the Channel Islands between England and France. There's a reason the state is "New" Jersey!
ReplyDeleteBorn and raised in Newark, NJ. When say Jersey 'cause there ain't nothin' new about it.
DeleteJust saw the Brady pic. Poor guy only drinks about 6 weeks out of the year. He quits some time in mid-March and starts a rigorous diet and exercise program and doesn't touch another drink til end of season. Probably takes 2-3 beers and perhaps a shot or two and he's blasted
ReplyDeletesouthside tony, I agree.
DeleteI think these people that decide talk shit about Brady celebrating a successful season should have to show a Super Bowl ring with their initials in it first. Anybody that goes dry during the season is better than I.
I couldn't pull it off either, yep those 7 rings would take my breath away too
