1. Shouldn't that be "Long Island is the longest island attached to ...

21. It's only attached by bridges and tunnels, not land.
Exactly two tunnels. Too many bridges to count.

18. Neither do I.
We just have family friends that live in some shitsville city on it. I've had the displeasure of having to go to parties there.

11. Yeah, but if they named it "Fucking Most Annoying Island Ever"
that would also be the right name.

17. Haha...
not all of Long Island is like that, but enough of it is. I don't understand why either, because I mean, it's Long Fuckin' Island, ya know? It's only exclusive because smart people don't want to deal with the hassle of going there.

12. Not quite. They ignored the perpendicular dimensions.
Edited on Wed Oct-18-06 09:12 PM by Kutjara
It should be "Long Yet Comparatively Narrow Island With an Average Height of 12' Above Sea Level." Not as catchy, I'll grant you, but it more than makes up for this lack in specificity.

15. That was never proven and, anyway...
...I was nowhere near the place and the witness who saw me with the gas can was drunk and the weather report clearly said that the wind would be coming from the other direction.

26. They need a new PR company. Shouldn't they rename themselves to
Longest Island? Wouldn't even have to make any major changes to the stationery.
