Lifelong New Jerseyan, about an hour from Baltimore and deal with plenty of Marylanders on a regular basis. They are the worst, and it isn’t even close.

I live 10 minutes from Pennsylvania, 30 minutes from Delaware, an hour from Maryland, 2 hours from New York, and 3 hours from Virginia and Connecticut. The allure of crossing state lines wore off quickly. But I found it fascinating that my ex-wife’s insular all-North Jersey family (seriously, 2 pairs of her cousins…

“OBJ” happens for the same reason the announcers are on a first-name-only basis with the Steelers’ QB, who is currently out for the season. And has a gray penis that he rapes women with.

New Jersey seconds this. And say what you about New Jersey - and we all know you do - Maryland drivers are THE WORST in the country. Pennsylvanians fail to grasp that the left lane is for passing and they clog our highways every Thursday-Sunday all fucking spring and summer en route to the Shore, but it’s a forgivable…

You sir, have offended my sensibilities.

POTUSOA? Well, 2 outta 3 ain’t bad...

Santa Monica is one of exactly 2 songs I can play on guitar. Percussion, piano, saxophone - no problem. Strings? I am useless.

Solid call. Was in Chapel Hill when BFF were taking off. You could see them live at least once a week in the beginning.

Collective Soul had some unbelievably catchy hooks and there were elements in their songs that worked, but it never clicked fully for them.

Gin Blossoms were good, but were they Better Than Ezra?

...outside of a couple of good to great postseason runs.

I love watching Gaelic (also Aussie rules football). And one of the awesome things about a smaller country like Ireland is that for big events like this, EVERYONE is invested. I was in Ireland during a Six Nations rugby match and it was like the entire country just shut down. Nobody was on the street or running…

The olds were bitter at the end. They were also bitter during, at the start, and before. Because they’re bitter.

Was prescribed Percocet after getting my wisdom teeth out. Took 2. Felt no different than when I got Tylenol (opiate-free Percocet!). Figuring I felt no difference, I stayed away from the narcotic. Every day in the hospital, I see people hooked on narcotics. And all I can say, is that the feeling from…

Has every local TV ad on the Jambaroo been from Philadelphia or Buffalo? Living 10 miles outside Philadelphia with in-laws in Buffalo, I feel like I have seen all of them. And I am curiously unfazed by them, as if this is how it is everywhere. I went to school in North Carolina, and they had some doozies.

I remember that series. I was working a summer job down the Shore (I was 22) and a (local) kid we worked with wore a Red Wings jersey. He wasn’t beaten but definitely took a lot of shit. And probably the occasional tripping or boarding call.

Fully agree. My residency and fellowship program did a more than adequate job of preparing me for the medical side of my career. But they did a shockingly bad job of preparing me for all of the other stuff. Especially finances (personal and professional), billing and legal. I was fortunate to go into private practice…

If your buddy grew up on Long Island, that wasn’t the first fight he saw. Or was a part of. Nor is it why he doesn’t drink.

Yes, That is correct. Just Unlike Alabama, the Phillies pay their athletes, but the Phillies do it legally under contract, instead of having boosters palming wads of bills to teenagers for “washin’ the car real nass an’ purdy”.

Come on, we’re not barbarians here. He probably just would have been taunted and threatened until he cried. But stomping a child? Man, gross.
