The Pineys don’t need meth! They secretly ARE the Jersey Devils! That’s the secret. There’s actually thousands of them, they walk among us.
Like this show, I gonna listen again.
Even though I shared a house with one of you in my youth, my Jersey Devil experience was quite different. I can tell you that the Jersey Devil was probably not so present for you and your friends, mark, because he was double and triple booked for girls’ sleepovers. Many a sleepover I attended was visited in one way or another by this guy, as evidenced by things like strange howling sounds and scratch marks on frosted basement windows.
A quick google image search turned up this tantalizing infrared photo of the Devil himself frightening off a deer. All wondering can cease.

And one more thing: for some reason I associate the Jersey Devil with a man’s plaid flannel shirt. Could I be transposing some other image onto the Devil – like the lining of a sleeping bag or someone’s basement curtains? Or the shirt of a Jersey Devil “hunter” as viewed on some weekend “news” program? Not sure… but now that I see the clear photographic evidence of its existence, I’ll have to re-think the outwear. LL Bean’s shirtsleeves would probably be too confining, given his wings and all.
Pluto is so NOT a planet. If you think it is, you got your head up Uranus!
You’re wrong bitch. I agree with Mark – Pluto is a planet! It was the black one on my solar-system mobile that hung in my bedroom as a girl. It inspired me then…still does. If Pluto’s not a planet, then how could Plutonium stop Superman? Huh? Huh?
OMG! WHO YOU CALLING BITCH, BITCH?
Why don’t you go read Wikipedia? Pluto is a planetoid, not a planet. And as Francis can tell you, wikipedia is always 100% correct! Slut!
Ladies, ladies. Why not settle this the civilized way–with pistols at dawn? Mark and I will be your seconds. In that capacity we will agree on the rules between us, but I think pistols, 20 paces, both must discharge but no blood need be drawn for honor to be satisfied.
How does that sound?
Also, Steph, your link doesn’t work. However this doesn’t seem worth dueling over.
Ladies! Ladies…no need to fight over me! There’s plenty enough “Pluto” to go around!
Fine. But I’m only doing a duel if it involves fingernails.
I agree Pluto is and ALWAYS will be a planet. You cant give something then take it away, unless it is to a Native American. Maybe there should be gambling on Pluto, that would show them.
Pineys rule. Washboard Jungle once wrote a song called “Old Piney Guy Blues,” which was played live on half a dozen occasions, but has never been recorded.
