So I Drove Through New Jersey And Ate a Philly Cheese Steak in Philly

[Lunar]

New Jersey:  Sure, I just saw it from the highway, but it pretty much confirmed all of my suspicions.  It was like chemical factories, smoke stacks, small depressing houses, and the occasional staples/Ikea.  I can't believe it matched its stereotype so thoroughly!

Philly Cheese Steak in Philly: As I just posted on Phil's Facebook: it tasted like Kraft mac & cheese mixed with generic beef on a hoagie.  I waited in a huge line of like a hundred and fifty people and it was a really awful mix of flavors.  It would have been better if they had like something besides that awful cheap American cheese taste with the steak. 

That is all.

All the attention should be on New Jerrrrrrzey

well, I'm glad New Jersey was all it's cracked up to be.

It's like if people living in slums and working in sweat shops all got their Christmas bonuses early and moved to the next best thing.

I wouldn't even live there ironically, it's that bad.

You can totally order it with provolone, you know.

I wanted it the Philly way.  I live in Manhattan, every two blocks there's an American-Arabic food cart that can make me a cheesesteak that doesn't taste as bad as that place does.

It was a really right-wing place too.  It had like signs against Mumia and a bumper sticker that said something how this is America and if you don't speak English don't bother ordering food here.

Not to defend Jersey much, but you really can't judge a state by a trip through it on the interstate.

I can and I just did.

It's why people think Nebraska is flat.  The only thing people see of it is what they see driving on I-80

I don't think most people who think Nebraska is flat have ever like drove through it or anything, so that's diff.  I'm not sure if anyone ever has ever visited Nebraska, actually.

One question though, did you see any orange colored people?

Well, not on the bus, but I saw some Guidos in Philly, and they are always around in NYC.  


Why won't you let me discriminate against Jersey?  I'm not pretending to be rational, I'm just saying it's a third world country.

[Lunar]

Fine, but if the good people of New Jersey hear about this they are going to be pissed.

(good luck finding one!)

Exactly my thinking.  After riding a bus through the state twice, I'm really not sure if they have the internet. 

[Lunar]

Well, I went to them because they were the first result on Google for "best cheesesteak philadelphia" really, but the long lines were appealing.  I didn't discover the right-wing stuff until I got to the front of the line.

[Lunar]

Shudder, it reminds me of my hometown in CA and that's not a good thing.

As does every other moron that drives through.  Good for us, that's one less person coming in to take advantage of the great things we have to offer.  It's really a genius strategy.  We trick the intellectually weak pretty easily.

God forbid y'all trick us New Yorkers from taking advantage of you all, otherwise we'd have to store our waste and smokestacks and ghettos somewhere else.

Hey, NYC has its rough spots (google "The Bronx is Burning"), I'm just glad we don't have to have Camden and Newark rough them up even more is all I'm sayin'

[Lunar]

I too am not the greatest fan of the "nice" off-turnpike Jersey where I am currently in residence, but if you think the problem with this state is that the houses are too small, you've got the wrong problem. I mean, forget the houses, the SUV's alone could hold Lunar's apartment in NYC and the strollers could hold Lunar.

I live in a closet in a cheap ass apartment in Alphabet City, if you look at a map, it's actually pretty hard to live in anyplace further away from a metro stop in Manhattan [I live a few blocks north of Ave. D & Houston if you want to look at the map].

I'm sure I could live in a bigger place almost anywhere else in the world, but that has nothing to do with your state being a disgusting hellhole where only horrible people would choose to live, no offense obviously.

Cheeze whiz just tastes horrible as a sandwich ingredient, the flavors just do NOT work. 

It's such a depressing cuisine to have your city be famous for.  I don't know if I've ever had a worse sandwich in the last 8 years of my life, to be honest.
