martha's vineyard

MV is the shit. In the summer it is the dankest place there is. Edgartown is not all that bad, granted there are a lot of preppy kids but they arent all that annoying and snobby. Edgartown is an easy place for good, clean girls that wont put out unless you get them drunk. Go to the Paper Store and watch the Shocker in action he'll show you how its done. Bottom line, GO TO MV

Island/Summer resident: Hey how are you, what is your name.
Girl Tourist: Hey, im Amanda, im visiting Martha's vineyard for a week.
Island/Summer resident: Thats cool, you wanna hang out with us tonight, theres a beach party only a mile from here.
Girl Tourist: Yea definetly.
Island/Summer resident: Alright let's go, we will show you what MV is really about.

Dirty Martha

Noun: A crafty, creative project or product that is risqué or lewd in nature. Named for Martha Stewart, queen of domesticity and creativity (who might be in touch with her inner bad girl...she HAS been to the big house).

I decided to do a dirty Martha and made a batch of penis-shaped cookies to impress my friends.

Milther

Someone who recognises the eliteness and purity of Mathematics and lives their life according to these principles, giving over part of their decision making ability away from rational thinking and towards probability.

80% of my mind wants to go swimming, but 20% wants to go for a run, instead of being rational and choosing 80%, a Milther would put 5 pieces of paper in a hat, 4 that say swimming, 1 that says running, and then would select one at random and do whatever that said.
