You know what a Wawa is, and know the location of at least 15 of them. 3. You think a mountain is that big freakin' hill in Atlantic Highlands. 4. You know Asbury Park is no longer the mecca of East Coast resort towns. 5. Even though there's a new Walmart in your town, you still go to the Englishtown Auction for cheap stuff. 6. You can name all the flavors of salt water taffy. 7. Your car is covered with yellow green dust in April and May. 8. You buy Shop-Rite brand food at Shop-Rite. 9. You can smell and know when it's low tide. 10. The Jets/Giants game has started fights at your school and/or local bar. 11. There are no self serve gas stations and you like it that freakin' way. 12. You've had sex on the beach, and I'm not talking about the beverage. 13. You know how to navigate a traffic circle successfully. 14. You know what skeeball is and you can get three 50's in a row. 15. You've run out of money on the Parkway. 16. You're Italian or Irish. 17. You say "water" weird. 18. Even your school made good Italian subs. 19.

You only go to New York City for day trips. 22. You know what a "jug handle" is. 23. You have mandatory recycling. Enforced by law. 24. You've eaten a pork roll and cheese on a hard roll...and liked it. 25. You can go bowling at 1:30 A.M. (with automatic scoring)! 26. Route 18 doesn't freak you out at night. 27. Because your town was founded before 1776, all the restaurants, taverns, and shops have "ye," "olde," and "colonial" in their names. 28. You don't have to go to Red Lobster to get fresh seafood. 29. You've ever said, "It smells like New York in here," 30. You've waited for the goddamn drawbridge for more than 20 minutes. 31. At least three people in your family still love Bruce Springsteen. 32. There's a fruit and vegetable stand down the road. 33. You always use a minimum of 10 expletives while driving. 34. You don't take any shit from anybody. Especially from someone fromNew York, because you live here for christ's sake and just who the hell do they think they are anyway? Invading our damn beaches and bars, they're just here for the damn summer and they think they own the damn place and.... 35. You've ever spent St Patrick's day in Belmar. 36. You know that there are bakeries which are not part of a supermarket, but actual individual stores. 37. You've ordered a "hard roll with butter" for breakfast. 38. You’ve had a sea gull shit on your head. 39. You've eaten at a Windmill, drunk off your ass, at 3AM. 40.
