rhode island

1. tiny collection of beautiful islands and shorelines

2. bastion of radicalism eager to defect from the capitalist nation-state system and create a free society

3. a swell place

What better place than Rhode Island?

pen island

A non-existant place that, when written carefully, will look like Penis Land. Two websites take advantage of this visual effect:

www.penisland.com -- sells custom pens.

www.mypenisland.com -- sells suggestive apparel from the fictional Pen Island.

Strong Island Boys

Strong Island Boys (SIB) were (or still are?) a gang from Long Island that reached their apex in the late 1980's and early 90's. They died down upon the arrival of the Crypts, Bloods, and MS13. The leader of the gang at their height of infamy was "Archie," with his name tattooed on the inside of his Labium inferioris. Just like other gangs, they originated from minority neighborhoods of the region where crime was higher, preying on their recruits from all classes of The Island: wealthy, upper, middle, lower-middle, lower. Again, their initiation wasn't much different from other gangs, as the initiate would get blitzed (or not), then beaten by his boys (and girls) until the pain and damage was rendered as severe ( a sign of the initiate's loyalty)-- or the initiate would be required to perform a serious crime while his boys looked on, such as: slash, beat, taunt a stranger with a weapon or hands, stealing something expensive and that is deemed risky, or harass/molest a female.

Hey, you been to the The Island, you ever seen any of those Strong Island Boys?

Staten Island Girl

Ahh the "staten island girl" what most describe as a rich, trashy, overly-make-up'ed, tight-pants wearing, coach bag carrying girl with an obnoxiouss accent(etc)

I will not claim that this breed of miserable-ness does not exist on this island (because sadly it does) i would like to point out that there are girls, mostly residing on the North Shore, that detest this stereotype.

In fact, there are some of us that:

-have no accent at all(baffling i know)
-actually left the island for college & whatnot
-hate wearing too much make-up
-refuse to buy coach bags (or only buy the leather ones without the C insignia so no one knows)
-own many pairs of sweatpants and non-matching hoodies that do not contain an ounce of velour, andd wear them out in public
-do not wear high heels to "the mall"
-work and own their own bank accounts that contain their hard-earned cash
**-make fun of boys with the blow out
***-get really pissed off at the girls that do NOT make fun of boys with the blow-out because that just makes them think its okay, and it not
-enjoy getting their real nails painted, and actually kno what their real nails look like without acryllics
-do not have lifetime memberships to the tanning loft, body tan, hollywood tans etc.
-cringe when people ask where their from (because that inevitably is followed with a joke about either coffee, the dump, traffic, or just laughter)
-have goals other than marrying someone rich and moving to a nice gaudy house in todt hill and/or annadale
-refused to watch true life: i'm a staten island girl out of sheer embarrassment OR watched it and just felt embarrassed for the girls on the show...

you get the idea.
We are few but we do exist.

"your from staten island?"
"'fraid so"
"wow i would have never guessed that, you don't look like a staten island girl"
"yea i know i get that all the time"

Roosevelt Island

Considered part of Manhattan. Also called The Rock/Da Roc. Great place to play tennis. The F train runs there and so does the "famous" Tram which was seen in Spiderman. You can walk to the Roosevelt Island bridge from Ravenswood in Queens.

Damn it's dead over here on Roosevelt Island.

New York Islanders

Shitty hockey team that can't get out of the first round of the playoffs. They haven't made it to the second round since 1993.

The Islanders have no good players. "Oh shit, watch out for Trent Hunter!"
