same shit; different island

The theory that an island is not inherently different from another neighboring island.

The theory relies upon the spoken accounts of recent tourists. No matter which island the traveler visits, he will always encounter:

1) Aggresive touts selling t-shirts, conch shells, and other worthless crap.

2) Crazy taxi drivers.

3) Hot, humid weather.

4) Panhandling locals.

5) Bugs.

6) Shoddy accommodations and questionable cuisine.

Returning Traveler: Meh, same shit; different island.

Staten Island Transfer

When one feels the urge to defecate while in the shower, instead of getting out and sitting on the toilet one defecates into their own hand, then reaches out to drop the turds into the bowl

"I just saw Mike drop his stool sample in the toilet while he was showering"
" From his hand? He did the Staten Island Transfer"

Staten Island Tech

also known colloquially as "Tech", it is the only specialized high school in staten island so every smart kid on the island tries to go, but half of the school is from Brooklyn anyways. it's highly ranked as one of the best schools in the nation for no tangible reason. most ride the s79 to get there and those who dont are rich enough to get car service or have a car. it is barely trying to get more diverse but faculty is all white and play favorites so it's not working and there is always an insect infestation going on. you know everybody in your grade because Tech is tiny and overcrowded as fuck. you can get a good balance between education and social life there if you never sleep and kiss your all teachers' ass. everybody and every teacher thinks they're better than any other high school in the area (i.e. new dorp, fort hamilton). it also has a strange system of staircases where only one can access all floors.

I applied to Staten Island Tech because I didn't have another choice. It was this or Stuy or Tottenville but I chose tech because it's "more personal".

Bruh, I tried to take staircase I to the third floor but i forgot it goes to the roof so I had to run back down to the basement to take H instead. Who the fuck designed this building?

solomon islands

a group of islands in the pacific that are a battered nation. surprisingly, the world's colonizing powers left them alone until about 110 years ago, when the british took over. the nation is significant, though forgotten, as being the home of guadalcanal and other brutal wwii battles. since independence, the nation has been involved in periodic civil wars. as a result, the militaries of austrialia and new zealand are the only thing keeping this country afloat right now.

the solomon islands are in the pacific.

staten island

A borough of New York city that's connected by the Verrazano through Brooklyn.

Most of the people who live on Staten Island are from Brooklyn and most are Italian. I live on the South Shore and alot of people here do own nice cars and possessions but that doesn't mean they dont work for them. I moved to Staten Island from a predominately Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn and its pretty similiar except things here are a little bit more separated which is a good thing, your not so on top of each other. But I keep hearing the same thing "all Staten Island is is slutty girls, spiky haired boys, tanning, and guidos." This is true for some people but not everyone, some people go tanning but you can't tell me that Staten Island's the only place where people go tanning, boys spike their hair but thats the trend here just like the trends there are in California or wherever. Some girls are slutty but that doesn't have anything to do with where we live it's just the way they are, there are slutty girls everywhere so you can't just blame that on here. And the main thing, Italians. Im Italian, I speak Italian, my family speaks Italian, I know alot about my Italian culture and so do all of the other kids on Staten Island that are Italian. Just because you show your culture doesn't mean you think your better than everyone else or that your showing off. The way we speak is not a Staten Island accent its a New York city accent. Growing up in Brooklyn and Staten Island I have a very heavy accent, it doesn't mean im stupid or incapable of intelligence it means that the place where I live affected the way I speak just like it does in other places like the South. Peoples perceptions of Staten Island are pretty much always negative and thats probably because some of the people who live here give it a negative reputation. Staten Island is actually a great place to live its located where the is more culture than you can imagine, its very populated for a small island but the houses and everything around it is nice, theres parks, boardwalks, museums, shopping and other things for the people here. I wouldnt reccomend coming here on vacation because its a place where there is not much to see but despite peoples opinions Staten Island is part of New York City just as much as Brooklyn,Queens, the Bronx, and the City (Manhatten). I would never move off of Staten Island even as an adult because it has that Brooklyn feel I grew up with with a little bit of the suburbs. If you ask me we got the best of both worlds.
