That’s Right, I’m About To Defend Guidos! (sort of)
I’ve been warning the rest of America for over a decade now that sooner or later Guidos will spread, grow, and try to take over the land. Thanks to “Jersey Shore” it’s happening as we speak! (if you spill Vodka on them, they multiply!!)
Honestly and actually, I’ve grown to like the cast members of the show! (except Sammi. And J-Woww is trash and it disgusts me that she’s from my hometown. Gross) Let me explain. Yes, they’re “tools” – but really, if you watched the show you’d know that not all of the “bad” habits that are being attributed to these “kids” are completely justified. For example, it’s not like Ronnie went out looking for fights. He tried very hard to ignore the drunks that were trying to start with the cast – something that has always happened to the “Real World” cast members. People see the cameras and they see the idiot cast-members and want to start a scene. But at least during the first fight Ronnie was involved in you could see him holding back and holding back while the other guy was following and taunting them. Furthermore, it was Sammi who exacerbated things finally leading to Ronnie pummeling the guy. The 2nd fight that was on the show once again showed guys taunting the cast mates, but Ronnie did run out of his way to go “put the guy to sleep.” But he got arrested, and seemed sincerely embarrassed by the event. My point is: The guys didn’t go out solely looking for fights like some people on the radio and the internet have insinuated. Defense #1.
Now for “The Situation.” A tool? Completely. A dick? Absolutely. But you gotta give him this – the guy never pretended to be anything other than he is. He wanted to go to the shore to scam on some girls, and he did what he did no matter what anybody else said or thought. You gotta admire someone who really doesn’t give a crap what others think. Now, that’s my defense #2, but I must say this: Mike clearly cares what others think because he refers to his stomach as “the situation” – he works out and does the GTL (gym tan laundry) to present the proper appearances and keep some sort of image he thinks works, but hey – he’s gotta stay “fresh” to pick up the chicks, even if the girls sometimes end up looking like “bulldogs!” So if it works for him, so be it! The dude seemed happy enough.
Snooki. The girl’s just odd and weird. Guidette or not, that chick’s crazy! “Whaaahhh!!!!” Somehow, some way, that’s my defense #3.
Vinny is harmless, and probably the best representation of an actual Italian-American on the show, but Pauly-D (a legitimate Guido) said it best on the reunion show when he was asked about negatively representing Italians – he said something to the effect of, “I’m not here to represent all Italians – I’m just myself . . . .” The guy has his dork pierced, which already tells you something about his sanity, and his hair looks like a blooming onion from Outback Steakhouse, but the guy had a point, and that’s the point I’ve been trying to make to all the Italian groups that were against this show . . . these kids choose to represent themselves in such a way, and it shouldn’t be a total representation of what it means to be Italian. If anything, it is more a representation of being young and careless in the Northeast. I’ve lost count of my defenses.
Bottom Line: Sammi is so annoying, and is a perfect example of a Northeast entitled girl that whines to get her way. She pretends to come off as a “sweetheart” when in reality, she’s a GABAGAZUL (what that means exactly? I don’t know, but it sounds oh so right!). J-Woww!? Or J-Eww!? (lol that’s not Jew, by the way, that’s J - ewwwwwww – as in GROSS – haha I so had to clarify that) – the girl is freken trashy and disgusting. She is the epitome of garbage and I’m disgusted that she hails from my hometown. Am I perfect!!?? Absolutely not (absolutely yes), but she’s gross. With all that said, I’m glad there’s gonna be a 2nd season, b/c as much as I’ve tried to warn the country about a possible Guido mutiny . . . I dunno . . . I’ve kinda warmed up to the cast of MTV’s “Jersey Shore” !! FIST-PUMP!

lol your spelling in Italian rivals my spelling in Greek.
lol what do you think I tried to spell in Italian????
GABAGAZU??
You sure you didn’t mean “Gidrol?” Which means “cucumber” and which my Nonna often calls me!
TeeJ I didn’t try to spell something Italian, I clearly spat out what ever noises made sense at the time, and that’s what I came up with lol. You’re a GABAGAZOOOOOOOOOL! LOL no idea what I mean by it, but it sounds right!
hahaha Joe – she calls you a cucumber? Is that a good or bad thing!? lol
lol by the way, since we’re talking about Mediterranean speak . . . unfortunately I don’t see Greece happening this summer. I’m usually more optimistic . . . but I’ve only missed 1 summer in the past 14/15 years or so . . . I think it’s time I miss another . . . I’m totally planning, however, a post-honeymoon party at the Greek-house NEXT summer, but I think I need to spend THIS summer working anything I can in NY in an effort to try and save $$$$ for the wedding (and life!).
I’m kinda okay with that! So TeeJ – save your money for whatever trip you’d like to take, and if a Greece trip miraculously unfolds, I’ll let you know immediately! but it’s not looking so good right now.
AHHH sad news mah friend sad news.. but again let the cards fall as they may and if its a green light then thank you sir I shall be there!
As for the Cucumber thing, its southern Italian slang changed over generations…
Citrollia (My spelling is a lil off) pronounced Chi-trol-ya
means cucumber as Joe said, over time and slang changes pronouncing it fast makes it sound as ja-drool (there is no J in Italian) and is a way of calling someone a bum. If you want a great useage of it watch the movie Beer League you’l laugh your ass off.
As TJ points out, No, Tom I don’t think it’s a good thing. It means I’m a bum! If you’re going to be home next hockey season we will have no choice but to plan an Islanders’ road trip.
