Assessing The New Jersey Wings Celebrity-Named Combos

In Union, NJ, there's a joint that is gleefully using celebrity's names without their permission to sell their deep-fried foodstuffs. Before someone sends them a cease & desist letter, here are our thoughts about the appropriateness and relevance of these famous New Jerseyans' names to their assigned "combo."

Christie Combo

Relevance: 8 out of 10. Four pieces of fried chicken seem like a lot for a meal, but probably not enough for the obese former governor. 

Serving Suggestion: Eat it alone on a closed beach.

The Springsteen

Relevance: 6 out of 10. A burger is pretty all-American. But only 1 side?! Bruce rolls deep with a lot of sides, brother.

Serving Suggestion: On the NJ Turnpike going 70.

The Streep

Relevance: 8 out of 10. Meryl Streep's ability to morph into any personality goes surprisingly well with the concept of a wrap.

Serving Suggestion: In Africa

The Bon Jovi and the Sinatra Combos

Relevance: 3 out of 10. Not sure how Bon Jovi relates to buffalo wings, and I sure as hell wouldn't refer to Sinatra as "boneless." These two are huge disconnects.

Serving Suggestion: On a steel horse/in New York, New York

The Jeter Combo

Relevance: 2 out of 10. With a career batting average of .310, 3465 hits, 260 home runs, and 1311 RBIs, I think Derek Jeter deserves better than "chicken fingers."

Serving Suggestion: Eating off of Minka Kelly's ass.

And Now For "Avalanche Sharks," The "All Trump Transition Team" Edition

"But none of these are funny," you'll say. And I'll agree.

Jersey-Style!

The Difference Between A Still Shot and A Video

Shot at the Maplewood train station, a tranquil composition of light, texture, and stillness:


Now, when you shoot the same thing on video, you capture snowfall movement but also the unending blabbing of some Russian woman on her cell phone:


Shut up. Shut UP. Shut up! SHUT UP!!!!
