Yes, I know that is a pretty lame pun (and example). I’d like to welcome Sam Gentile, J. Ambrose Little and their familes to the Great Garden State. Although I didn’t have any direct infulence on there relocations to NJ, I’d like to think that with the additon of 2 more Microsoft MVPs, we are that much closer to accomplishing my goal of making Jersey known as Redmond East.
If anyone is transfering to Texas, they are more then welcome to use TEST (TExas State Transfer), which seems pretty appropriate acronym, considering this guy lives there.
If anyone else that reads this blog is considering moving to New Jersey, you need to learn this quote (because it will become you once you spend a few months here):
I am from NJ. I curse... a lot. I say "yo", and I say it often. I never had school on Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur. I sure as hell don't pump my own gas. I know what real pizza tastes like, and I know that a bagel is much more than a f'ing roll with a hole in the middle. I judge people by what exit they get off the parkway. I can navigate a circle--with attitude. All good nights must end at a diner--preferably with cheese fries. It's a sub, not a hoagie or, worse yet, a hero, and I wash it down with soda, not pop. Two words... "mother f'er." I don't go to the beach, I go down the shore. And boardwalk brawls are just a part of the atmosphere. Yes, I drink cawfee. I know that 65mph really means 80. I've always lived within 10 minutes of a mall. When someone cuts me off, they get the horn AND the finger. And they expect it. I am from New Jersey, and damn proud of it.
