Weird NJ
Ever heard of Weird NJ magazine? You know why it exists? 'Cuz NJ is fuckin' weird, that's why. And Weird NJ was the first of the Weird magazines and stuff. We are OG weird here in NJ. All you other states that now have Weird mags are just imitating our weirdness. The word "weird" starts to look really really weird the more you look at it. Weird weird weird. Here's a few examples of NJ weirdness from my last few days:
"Skaters Only" sign hanging on the wall in TGI Fridays. What fuckin' trick is this anyway? Frontside 180 to switch firecracker? Some sort of new stair manuever? Maybe the dude is ollieing up and nosebashing into the step. Will we ever know? Frightening that someone got paid to design this and then Fridays actually paid to own it.
Cowboy Hunks 2007 calendar for sale in a 7-11. A steal at only $7.99 plus tax!
Random lurker guy in a huge foam cowboy hat (the kind maybe you win at an amusement park for throwing a dart at a balloon) in Panera. I'm noticing a "cowboy" theme here.

1st one: the stairs are white, wall behind the stairs is white, the ledge next to the stairs is red.... yes his style is strange
2nd and 3rd: weird I suppose (I've never been to NJ or met anyone from there cause I live in a whole different country!)
