    In the most recent sign of the apocalypse, a New Jersey has indeed found that "ladies night" discriminates against men. This decision has also ensured that the man challenging this promotion, a David R. Gillespie, will not get laid for a loooong time.

    I often wondered if it would ever be challenged, but of course it was discriminatory. Outrageously so. And for all of us who never needed the help of ladies-free night to score, it's about time.

    Of course, the pretty women will still expect the men to buy them drinks - it's just the ugly ones that are going to lose out when ladies-free is banned.

    Well, according to the article, several states have allowed it to stand.

    And the trailer trash who can't afford the $5 to get in in the first place.

    Has anyone thought about what this is going to do to the hairspray and acrylic nail industries? This could have far-reaching effects.

    I guess I won't be taking my girlfriend out drinking to New Jersey any more.




    Not that I ever did go to that ********ing cesspool across the Hudson in the first place.

    Ladies Night Lyrics

    Ooh oh yeah yeah, Oh what a night
    It's ladies night

    This is your night tonight,
    Everything is going to be alright
    This is your night tonight,
    C'mon girls

    Girls, we've all got one
    A night that's special everywhere
    From New York to Hollywood
    It's ladies night and girl
    The feeling's good

    [Chorus]
    Oh yes, it's ladies night
    And the feeling's right
    Oh yes, it's ladies night
    Oh what a night (oh what a night)

    Oh yes, it's ladies night
    And the feeling's right
    Oh yes, it's ladies night
    Oh what a night (oh what a night)

    This is your night tonight, everything' s gonna be alright
    This is your night tonight, everything' s gonna be alright

    Romantic lady, ooh oh yeah, single baby
    Mm sophisticated mama (woooooh)
    Come on you disco baby, yeah, yeah
    Stay with me tonight

    If you hear any noise
    It ain't the boys, it's ladies night, shhh, uh huh
    Come on girls

    Gonna step out ladies night
    Steppin' out ladies night

    Gonna step out ladies night
    Steppin' out ladies night

    [Chorus]
    Oh yes, it's ladies night
    And the feeling's right
    Oh yes, it's ladies night
    Oh what a night (oh what a night)

    Oh yes, it's ladies night
    And the feeling's right
    Oh yes, it's ladies night
    Oh what a night (Oh what a night)

    On disco lights your name will be seen
    You can fulfill all your dreams
    Party here, party there, everywhere
    This is our night, ladies
    You got to be there

    This is your night tonight,
    Everything is going to be alright

    This is your night tonight,
    Everything is going to be alright

    Oh ladies night

    This is your night tonight,
    Everything is going to be alright

    Easy there, slugger... Queens isn't exactly on my top-10 vacation destinations list, either.

    Lived in Astoria/LIC before. Live in Jersey now. I'll take the latter, thank you very much.

    Eh, won't argue with you since I plan to end my bridge-and-tunneling days behind me soon, though I do have a great Czech beer garden in walking distance. I'm going to miss that a lot.

    And Jersey is dirty. Other than Ikea and the hope of an SSS in Harrison, there isn't that much worthwhile over there.

    Yep. Reminded me of Passaic, 'cept with the El running through it. If my folks didn't live in Clifton, Passaic County wouldn't be in my top-10 vacation destinations list, either.

    Oh, and Skip? Ever been more than 20 miles away from the Turnpike or Parkway? Here's a hint: there's a reason it's called "The Garden State". :)

    There's a rule that no travels beyond Manhattan. To Manhattan - yes. Beyond - never.

    So the chance for drunken, desparate sex doesn't compensate for the higher cost? I always assumed that ladies' night was always for the benefit of the men(only if you accept the theory that all sex, even bad sex, is good) not women.

    There's a place in New Jersey more than 20 miles from the Turnpike?

    that is always how it is viewed in Florida. Ladies night means they drink alot for nothing. What in the WORLD is wrong with that?

    All depends on what you mean by "real" New York, chief. I wouldn't want to live anywhere but Manhattan, since I happen to think its more "real" there than the other parts.
    Although I can certainly admire some things about the other boroughs. From afar, preferably.

    I have. Though I didn't go out at either place. I hear Hoboken's okay. I helped a friend move out of Jersey City, and he hated it.
    I actually don't have a problem with Jersey. My girlfriend's from Voorhees and I enjoy teasing her about how horrible Jersey is - it's just something you're required to do if you live in the NYC area.
    But I'll concede that my experience with the state is limited to:
    - Ikea
    - Giants Stadium
    - Jersey City
    - Turnpike
    - Newark Liberty International
    - a Cinco de Mayo drunkfest in Clifton

    OK, so a decade in SoCal has warped my sense of distance. Nonetheless, whoever planned the NJTpk apparently had a blood-feud with the Dept. of Tourism, 'cause most of the really ugly parts of the state are along this route. The rest hug pieces of the Parkway (up until about Sandy Hook heading Southbound) and I-80 (up to and including Paterson). Most of the state is gorgeous.

    Don't mean to get all homeland-defensive about the Garden State here, but imagine someone making up their minds about Long Island having never traveled off the LIE, and never gone more than about 10 miles into Nassau County. Or, and probably more to the point, making up their minds about Manhattan having never left I-95 (about 1/2 mile of road between the Cross-Bronx (?) and the GWB).

    By real I mean:
    - The best food in the city is in the outer boroughs
    - The best festivals are in the outer boroughs
    - Unlike Manhattan which is full of people who will only live there until they are 35, the outer boroughs are loaded with real NYers.
    (Note: Manhattan above 96th st is an outer borough)

    I was tweaking you. :) Anyone who watches the Sopranos can tell you that New Jersey has some wonderful parts.

    Of course. The Jersey-module to the Sarcasmotron-3000 is still in Beta.

    And I think my leftist module's on the fritz again... :rolleyes:
