[undressa]

My very handsome boyfriend is taking me to the shore this weekend, we r staying at the windjammer. I have never been b4, any advice, anything I should bring, anything I should stay away from?

[angrymissy]

yes, stay away from this:

[hammersavage]

the shore is a bit general. anywhere specific?

bottom line, you'll never shake the guidos.

[Hottub]

What town? Every beach community has a Windjammer.
If it's the one at Seaside (http://www.windjammermotorinn.com/), say Hi to Sarge for me.

[britneypablo]

yes, stay away from this:

Based on this post alone.... we prob should speak to each other more.

[LaBoob]

Leave your stereo at home, anchor your umbrella properly (it's how we can spot the Bennys - their umbrellas go flying at the slightest breeze :nono:), and standard state park rules apply, including: carry out what you carried in.



Enjoy your stay!

this guy seems to be the padawan of the group. but i trust that one day, after lip-pursing, hair-gelling, and open-hand-pointing instruction, he'll become a guido master.

Boob, I funny at your mention of the word Benny. I guess I don't get it like most things.

We spent a week at Bradley Beach this summer and I was really interested to find a guy at the Asbury Park Convention Center with a shop basically saying Benny Go Home (http://www.bennygohome.com/home.html). I can't think of a better way to kill traffic to Asbury. I tried to talk to this guy and he was not interested in engaging me deeper but he did offer to sell me a sticker.

I love Asbury and I'm glad to see what's going on there. We had dinner at the old HoJo and drinks on the veranda at the Convention Center. Very nice. Everyone should go take a visit.

Anyway, I took that BennyGoHome as a 'fuck you tourist, go home.' Then I thought about it a bit. If you can get past this guy's myspace page, and the rest of the shit, what's the message? Fuck you, go home guy with money?

Me personally, I always try to carry a bag to the beach and I pack off twice as much as I pack in or I pick up trash as I leave just as if I were camping.

My NJ inlander question is, what is a Benny?

[LaBoob]

The origin of the word isn't 100% clear, there are several theories according to Wikipedia, but in general a benny is someone coming from the city to the Jersey Shore and disrespecting the culture and the environment.

I kid when I use the word, but I was raised in a strong Jersey Shore culture and continue to spend a lot of time taking advantage of the shore all year, and while it's easy to categorize everyone who disrespects the beach or fails to follow or even be aware of beach etiquette, a "benny", the truth is lots of people from the area are just as ignorant of the ways of the beach too.

Not sure I get the "Bennys Go Home" store at Asbury either though.

"Shoo-bee's go home" was and probably still is the by word on LBI.

Whatever. Fuck it. Who cares.

The really nice thing about our NJ shore vacation this summer was that I was able to set my son free a bit. He's 10 and a good swimmer so I let him go out into the surf to ride the waves by himself for a few hours.
I wanted to join him and I didn't. He made a bunch of friends out there. You have to let them go - a little bit at a time thankfully.

[LaBoob]

I like Seaside Tony because I HATE that kind of guy! Seaside Tony type guys made up maybe 75% of the guys who went to my high school and I can't stand 'em. I can't tell you how many great girls I grew up with who wound up dating guys like this and it just made me realize, WOW, we are from different worlds!

A Seaside Tony is another word for this sorry excuse for life:

I'm heading down the shore this week for vacation. I'll be doing NOTHING, thank you very much. Well, maybe a little fishing while waiting for my parents to drive my camaro up from the Bahamas.





You looked so very pretty, when we met in Ocean City,
like someone, oh, so easy to adore.
I sang this little ditty, on our way through Ocean City,
heading south along New Jersey's shore.

On the way to Cape May, I fell in love with you.
On the way to Cape May, I saw my dreams come true.
I was taken by your smile, as we drifted by Sea Isle.
My heart was really gone when we reached Avalon.
On the way to Cape May, Stone Harbor's skies were blue.
We were naming the day when Wildwood came in view.
If you're gonna be my spouse, we'd better head for that Court House
On the way to Cape May,
On the way to Cape May.

I stop in Sea Isle! But that song is an oldie but goodie for the Philly folk here.

[grlNIN]

Anyone who is proud that they live by the shore and acts territorial is just as insignificant and joyless as the tourists who fuck it up in the summer. They are just beaches, you should be more pissed about the traffic they cause.

I was coming out of B&N yesterday and the car next to us had "BENNY GO HOME" written across the back of it. Also with a ton of "Rude Boy" shit but whatever they ruined their own car.

[~Katja~]

I have been in the wildwood area last year and saw no guidos... it's like a safe haven..
I am going in a few weeks and am staying for 10 days, I can't wait. The Jersey Shore is really not all that bad.

[A.J.]

I miss our family cottage on the CT shoreline.

The Wildwoods don't really get guidos. They get PA drivers.

(Sorry Katja, no offense intended your direction, but I distrust PA drivers ever since my cousin Kate failed the NJ road test with our grandparents ... then went out to PA with her dad's dad and passed the PA road test 2 days later. If she was a poor enough driver to fail the NJ road test, what the heck are they testing in PA????)

They don't have to worry about jug-handles!

I take no offense to that, I am a German driver. I was well tested and required to undergo lessons over lessons and practice.

NJ drivers are no better than PA drivers in my book.

When compared to German drivers, no, absolutely we are not.

We're downright frightening. (I get more near-misses from drivers with NJ plates than I do from any other state. Including Massachusetts, and there's a special place in Hell for Massachusetts' drivers. Right next to Florida's drivers.)

Pshaw. You haven't been down here for rain and snow. Do want to see truly awful drivers? These are people who can't drive in inclement weather and who abandon their cars in such weather.

[Thebazile78]

I know full well what happens in No. VA when it snows.

Everyone in No. VA is a freaking pussy. Having driven in No. VA on at least one occasion after a snowfall, I have seen this with my own eyes.

That's not evil; that's showing fear. I laugh in the faces of the fearful. (Until it's winter and I whine that the office didn't shut down for a snow day because I fear for my life on the un-sanded, un-salted roadways.)

Also, can you explain to me why drivers in Northern VA absolutely must go 90-100mph when there's absolutely nowhere to go?

I stand corrected Liz. So then I'm glad you can appreciate why I want to kill so many drivers down here.

I haven't seen these 90-100 mph drivers you speak. Most of the time the highways here are at a standstill.

And I think it should be permissable to bludgeon to death drivers that block the box.

I think it should be permissible to mount missiles to the top of my car so the only result of my road rage is an explosion.

But I think that might get messy.

Is it really safe to mount missles on top of a car when you are shooting in front of you?

I would think the safest car-mounted missle system would be either on the hood or perhaps a fold-down grill or behind the headlights.

Besides, Liz, I told you that the first modifications we're making to your car is the Flux Capacitor. Then we'll worry about a defense systems.

We're leaving next Tuesday to go to Spring Lake. I can't wait. It's so nice there. Especially after Labor Day. I'm going to see if I can set up a wiffleball game at the MacDonalds. I'm hoping I can sneak into the house and grab the Beanie Cup. :wink:

I would think that the safest way if they were on the roof would be that you would have to stop the car before firing.

The hood is just a bad idea all around.

I would with fold downgrill behind the head lights.
You would have to figure out some sort of venting system for the rocket smoke, though.






On another note.
Heading down to Avalon next month for a wedding.
My friends are killing my bank account with all the marrying this summer.:tongue:

Forget the left lane doing 50 ... what about the right-hand lane, with the blinker on, going 45 in a 65?

Or the ones in the center lane during the a.m. rush doing 40?

Or the ones who insist upon tailgating when there's PLENTY OF ROOM to go around the offending vehicle?

The ones I especially loathe are always out-of-state plates. Although I get the greatest degree of schadenfreude from seeing someone with in-state plates who's weaving (and failing to signal) get stuck behind a group of these drivers. C'mon buddy, where's the fire????
