Researching Jersey

My fellow researcher Dave and I engaged in a fascinating sociological study this weekend. We spent six hours observing the interactions of eight self-proclaimed guidos and guidettes as they lived and worked together in a little coastal playground known as the Jersey Shore.

Many hypotheses were suggested, but only one conclusion was drawn: As incredibly bawdy and ridiculous as the subjects were, they were also thoroughly entertaining and slightly endearing.

In our observations, we also picked up on some of the Jersey Shore vernacular. Allow me...In this pic, it looks like the boys are fresh from GTL, ready for a night of creeping. The ladies will most likely stick to battling on the dance floor in hopes of vibing with someone. (Photo from MTV)

Researcher's note: It's been years since I've laughed as hard and as long as I did while watching this show -- and while recalling various scenes afterward.
