Remind Me To Leave Deanna Off My Reading List...

If nothing else, Huffington Post is usually good for a laugh. Here's a perfect example; writer Deanna Fei's post entitled...

Why Every Writer Should Watch Jersey Shore

That's as far as I got on Deanna's tome, by the way. I took the title as a warning.

I've seen Jersey Shore exactly once. What it taught me, a CPA without literary asperations, is the following:

1. No matter how bad things get in Ohio, it could always be worse. I could be in New Jersey.
2. Unlike in New Jersey, in Ohio pigs are kept, for the most part, on farms. In pens. As nature intended.

What my one viewing left unanswered is, in my opinion, the core question relating to Jersey Shore: How do those people remember to breathe?

I have no idea why Deanna Fei thinks Marcel Proust wannabes need to watch a bunch of East Coast morons in order to improve their craft, and I have no intention of finding out.

Most of my in-laws live in NJ, and I cannot express in words their hatred for that show or the people in it.

I've never watched the show, but unfortunately my daughter does. She tells me the New Jerseyites are no longer in New Jersey, are now in Miami, where half of New Jersey apparently ends up anyway.

Yet another reason to avoid Florida.
