Ed Driscoll has some interesting demographic and linguistic info on New Jersey.
No, seriously. Check it out.
Truthfully, some of the nicest people I’ve ever met hail from New Jersey - including the suave and courtly Mr. Bingley.

Mr. Bingley who?
ReplyDeleteThere's a Professor Bunyip, but he's in Australia.
I'm very confused.
Mr. Bingley was the host of that memorable dinner with Tim Blair that I had the honor of attending last year.
ReplyDeleteSuave and courtly....
ReplyDeleteI'm sending this to my Bride!
Actually, it is you, Dear Paco, who are the very avatar of Suavity and Courtliness.
ReplyDeleteDue to your sartorial splendor I am now fedora bedecked every day.
Oh, THAT Mr. Bingley. The guy who feeds Claude. Why didn't you say so in the first place.
ReplyDeleteStop. You make me wish I was a big time blogger, so I could go to all these blogging soirees and not feel like the help.
ReplyDeleteI didn't experience all those parts of New Jersey last January, but there's an odd congruence with what I did see. Heh!
ReplyDeleteA fedora, Mr. B? I picked up a hat as well back in January. Paco saw me wearing it, but I had to mail it back home, it being too large to wear comfortably on the airplane.
But I didn't get a fedora; I bought a slouch hat at Gettysburg.
And not being cavalry (never!), I had the crossed sabers replaced.
Ugh! I messed up the second link.
ReplyDeleteMy bad.
Did you get the large economy size of "castle small"?
ReplyDeleteHeh! With engineers, economy is always on our minds. When I wear the hat, it's literally so.....
ReplyDeleteActually, I ordered both large and small.....and they were the same size, delivered.
Same size. Equal outcomes are fine under certain conditions.:)
ReplyDeleteactually I have a couple, Jeff. The "everyday" is an indy "temple" that this fellow made (I didn't get it new, though) and my 'dress' hat is a Borsalino Como which is I'm sure something that our Dear Host here would approve of.
