It's the mall in Paramus at Christmas time.

Q: [O]f the three Sochi mascots--Hare, Polar Bear and Leopard--which one speaks most to you?

Leopard: Fierce, clever, shows its true spots. Also, I live in New Jersey, and if you don't feature leopard print here, you might as well live in the city.

You know you live in New Jersey when every second older gentleman you see looks like an Al Pacino/Uncle Junior hybrid.
--Twitter, May 25, 2013 

Blogger's note: "Uncle Junior" was an elderly mobster character in the TV show The Sopranos.

Hurricane Sandy had completely flooded my training rink in Hackensack, which meant I had to drive to a different ice rink every day and sit in gas lines for hours. I packed my suitcases for Russia with flashlights on my head because we had no power. That is very stressful when you are going to a huge international competition.

I fly through North Jersey, somehow managing to throw an entire iced venti nonfat chai latte down my gullet--thank God my Starbucks baristas have memorized my car, now hurling ‘round the corner--without consuming the plastic cup, the straw, or my own paw out of hunger, and head to my first on-ice training session.

Here behind me you can see local residents of New Jersey fleeing for their lives with rapid speed. It's five geese.

Blogger's note: "Jersey Turnpike" is a dance move in which a girl bends over, puts her hands on the floor, and grinds her butt against her partner.

So, Marshmallow, what brings you to New Jersey? It's quite far.

[Josh King: I want to discuss something with you. Something kind of big. I need some guidance.

OK. This isn't the way to come out to me.

I live in Jersey!

[Cazwell: Yeah, so?]

So no.

For some reason New Jersey smells of oregano, diesel and baby skin today.

[Billy Bush: You're from New Jersey. Name as many cast members that you can from The Jersey Shore.]

I love New Jersey though. There's something about it. There's something very special and aggressive and no U-turning about it.

[A]fter all this touring is over, I want to take a vacation. I’m planning to go to Mongolia because I want to ride a yak, then I’m going to Russia after that to visit with some friend and do some partying. Then I want to just lay on the beach. I hope. I’ll probably end up going to the Jersey Shore for a month with Snooki.

Just spent a little time with my girls at the Oakland, NJ DMV. I'm officially a New Jerseyian! It only took 2 photos for me to approve.

I look forward to making a home for my family in Bergen County, New Jersey, and introducing my world of glitter and Faberge eggs to Victor.

Is Texas the new New Jersey? I feel like I keep seeing ads for Texas things...Texas Shore? Texylicious? Hmm...which state is trendy next?

I don't go to things, I don't do things. I get invited to stuff, but I'm much more interested in Windexing my tchotchkes. I mean, that's what I do at night in New Jersey.
