Billy, The only kind of TRASH that makes money, not spend it.

It's "at the shore." "Down the shore" is a New Jersey regionalism that marks one as crude and illiterate.

I only occasionally hear real old people say - at the shore.

Allen did Jeter "make" any home runs last night?
Bruce Knuckle

Allen, it at the Catskills for you and down the shore for everyone else.

I think it arose because people would say "Down to the shore", which was then shortened to "Down t'the shore" and then "Down the shore." I think it just came out of sloppy pronunciation.

Depends on where you come from, but mostly down the shore.
Nose Wayne

Nose Wayne
8:15 pm on Saturday, June 2, 2012

Nose Wayne
3:51 pm on Sunday, June 3, 2012
Hank Allan didn't answer,think he's down the shore.
Hank
4:22 pm on Sunday, June 3, 2012

Nose Wayne
3:57 pm on Sunday, June 3, 2012

Billy ,What anti-semitic remark did Bruce make?
Hank
9:33 pm on Sunday, June 3, 2012

Nose Wayne
9:35 pm on Sunday, June 3, 2012
Billy, NOSE lots of people who live in the Catskills that ARE NOT JEWISH!! Would it had made a difference if Bruce said WAYNE NJ ? Alot of Jewish families live in Wayne, so what is the ISSUE!! DID NOT HEAR any remark about Allan being Jewish.LIGHTEN UP!! I joked around with what he said,but did I say or ANYONE say about him being Jewish?
Hank
9:41 pm on Sunday, June 3, 2012
If he did go to the Catskills would it be going "north state".
Nose Wayne
9:45 pm on Sunday, June 3, 2012
Hank,Bill seems to be the only one here that thought about the Catskills and being Jewish. If anyone here is ANTI-SEMITIC,he should look into thy mirror. YOU NOSE,those who live in glass houses?
Nose Wayne
9:51 pm on Sunday, June 3, 2012

As I testified in our divorce proceedings my now EX was as immature as one can get. He's not really a banker, but he does work for a bank as head janitor. He' got all his subordinates convinced he knows everything, but in truth he doesn't know dilly.
I would take everything he says or claims with a grain of salt.

Not having been in this area too long, I can only hope the level of comments to this posting do not indicate the mental standard of most of those who live in Fort Lee. What an astonishing level of idiocy.

Nose Wayne

The Allaire Village in Wall Township, where a Civil War Encampment this past Sunday was great. It included artillery demonstrations, battalion drills, musket cleaning, dress parades and more civil war stuff. What warmed my heart was that it was all free! We enjoyed it immensely.

I like to stay home in Fort Lee where I and my extended family feel safe and wanted. I always recommend Fort Lee to our relatives and friends in the old country, they all are anxious to move here to be with me and my family. I LOVE Fort Lee.

Of course. This is typical Bruce Knuckle. I rest my case.
