New Jersey is between DE, PA, NY and the ocean. If you were from the part of New Jersey outside New York, you're from North Jersey (not New York), and if you're from the part of New Jersey outside Philly, you're from South Jersey (not Philly). Most people from New Jersey already know that and would have it no other way. Going to Philly for events, dining, shopping, to visit people, and so on isn't having started life there. Knowing a few people there doesn't make them the people you started your life around.

The girl was scary like Eddie Murphy, especially when she got so serious, as she called it. She was Eddie Murphy scary.

Dismemberment of a lamb combined a porno and a horror film, but it wasn't really scary or funny, it also wasn't a serious movie. It was just a guy getting partly butchered on camera, no more, no less.

There is no such thing as victory against the coronavirus, there is only not losing more. If nobody takes a stand, everybody takes a fall.
Not losing more lives, businesses, jobs, or rights isn't victory, it's an end to the spread of (and fuel for) the wildfire, an end to the loss of everything.

A lot of people say they're sick and tired, when really theyre irritated and frustrated. If you're not terminally ill, you're not sick in the way that you mean when you say sick and tired. If you haven't been awake for days on end working around the clock, you're not really tired. You're just irritated and frustrated with something.
People are not really sick and tired, they're irritated and frustrated, and they've been irritated and frustrated for a long time now.

Even if you're not a member of any intelligence agency, you notice that the guy who says he was Uday Hussein's body double in real life looks nothing like Uday Hussein. He's heavier set and has no resemblence to Uday physically or in manner.
Why would a guy pick a guy that doesn't look or behave anything like him to be his body double, or twin? Wouldn't he go with a guy that was similar to him to be his double? Anybody who told either of them that they looked alike lied to one of them or both, if there's any truth to The Devil's Double.
