The City of Paterson, located on the Passaic River in New Jersey was once one of the mightiest industrial cities of the United States. It has a rich history as the Nation's first planned industrial city, as well as containing some of the country's oldest textile mills and businesses.
In 1792, Alexander Hamilton formed an investment group called the Society of Useful Manufactures (the "SUM") whose funds would be used to develop a planned industrial city in the United States that was later to become Paterson. Hamilton believed that the United States needed to reduce its dependence on foreign goods and should instead develop its own industries.
The industries developed in Paterson were powered by the 77-foot high Great Falls of the Passaic, and a system of water raceways that harnessed the power of the falls. The district originally included dozens of mill buildings and other manufacturing structures associated with the textile industry and later, the firearms, silk, and railroad locomotive manufacturing industries. In the latter half of the 1800's, silk production became the dominant industry and formed the basis of Paterson's most prosperous period, earning it the nickname "Silk City." Paterson was also the site of historic labor unrest that focused on anti-child labor legislation, safety in the workplace, a minimum wage, and reasonable working hours.

Get the Palmala Handerson mug.Late 90's female media celebrity.
Ex-playmate, she had the top-heavy, blond-haired, long-legged tokens of desirability, so that any beer-bellied jerk on the verge of passing out could conventionally blurt out that he would love to pork her, even if he could no longer remember his own name.
Pam's checklist:
a) Botox in her lips
b) Silicon in her boobs
c) Nothing between her ears
The high point of her career was appearing in one of the stupidest tv series ever: Baywatch. She then went on to appear in her own TV series, which was even stupider.
Her lowest point was when the video clip of her banging 15-minute hubby Tommy Lee circulated over the Net.
Her own 15 minutes of fame over, Pam still has the asset of *celebrity* which entitles her to a cameo in The Simpsons and to appear in several episodes of the remake The Love Boat, if its ever remade.
It ain't Pam's fault to be who she is. She's just another packaged product. Its up to you if you swallow her or not.
Bon appetit.
Personally, i used to get a far bigger boner from watching the girl next door.

Get the Pamela Anderson mug.land of the feinds, home of the HUSKY NATION!!! You walk into the school to see the bright minds of the future and the clean building. You smell something in the distance, you see a fog start to emerge over the horizon of Tech way. You head for the bathrooms, the source, only to find five pinheads vaping some nic and weed. You obviously look and stare suprised as the new kid in the school, shay approaches and ask "Yo you wanna hit this, called mango madness". You take the vape and the dab pen and vape it at the same time, staying fucked up till 2pm when you get out only to drive your mini cooper and crash it twice... in two weeks.... come on jeremy. You have instant reputation at all the parties, fucking all the football players and smoking crack after the fed banned vaping.
