I hate to talk ill of my birthplace, but if it didn't suck
I'd still be living there and wouldn't have a palm tree
in each of front and back yards...
Actually, it's not the state that does it, it's the local municipalities that do. Atlantic City and the Wildwoods beaches are free, but in other towns along the coast, a seasonal/resident badge can go for as much as $ 115.00 and a day-tripper badge for out-of-towners (we usta call 'em 'Bennies) can cost as much as $ 12.00. What a rip.

What are you listening to?
The Who.
Who?
Yes.
You're listening to Yes?
No, The Who.
Oh - I like them.
No not Them. The band is The Who.
The Band?
Yes.
Don't start that again...

There is one good thing that Jersey has that I really do miss like
nobody's business. A good, crusty hard roll with sweet butter.
The bread here in Florida is baked for people with no teeth.

Can you imagine what it must feel like to some
towel-headed Afghan mujahadeen when he sees one
of these nasty-ass motherfuckers heading directly
towards his cave? That is one seriously
bad-ass fighting machine.

Worked with a guy who was a US Navy sailor on shore leave in Britain when the Beatles were first becoming popular. Ended up in a party where the Beatles had shown up. From what he described then, yes, they did now how to throw one over there.
ReplyDeleteWe sat in our backyard in NC when we had the last total eclipse. The animals shut down just like they do at night. In the course of ~5 minutes, they went from full on day activity, to dusk activity, to shut down for the night and back to next day activity. It was cool to watch/listen to.
ReplyDeleteThat hawg pic is backwards…and the whole Pave Penny pylon is missing unless the system’s been removed since I last wrenched on them.
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right about the hard rolls in Jersey! A roll-and-butter ( NOT a "buttered roll" for you non-Jersey Philistines ! ) is the breakfast I grew up eating , although I prefer salted butter to sweet .
ReplyDeleteAnd don't get me started on the joys of Taylor Ham on a hard roll !
As to your comments about New Jersey... I was stationed at Fort Monmouth twice in the mid '60s. Hated it so bad that on the 2nd time I volunteered for Vietnam. Long story but I finally got there and never looked back. Did 2-1/2 years over two tours and never regretted one damn day. Door Gunner of a UH-1 B-model gunship. Fuck New Jersey!
ReplyDeleteThe closest thing to a real Italian hard roll in Florida is authentic cuban bread like you will find in Tampa from El Segundo, Casino, etc. NOT that grocery store bakery so-called cuban bread with a texture like Wonder bread.
