Oceanside Ripped on Z100

The worst part about being unemployed and not having to wake up until 2 pm was missing out on all the morning talk shows, whether it be the z morning zoo on z100, the Howard Stern Show, or Mike and Mike in the Morning on Espn Radio 1050. Now that I'm back in school I get to listen to all those shows again and yesterday while flipping through I landed on z100 for their sleeze report.

What followed shocked me. For the first time, their promotional lackey, Greg T the round headed frat boy, was in my home town of Oceanside giving out t-shirts. However, the smell from the local garbage dump bothered him so much that he proceeded to rip Oceanside mercilessly leading to a debate with angry callers who kicked him out!

The funniest part about all that is that it's so true. We smell worse than New Jersey. Worse than Roseanne Barr after having sex. Worse than, well me, after playing softball. But that's not all we're known for.

We're also famous for having 6 pharmacies on the same block, a bagel store on every street corner and a person to deli ratio of 15:1. But the worst part is that we have to suffer through the indignity of being called Oceanside when we're not even next to the Ocean. That would be Long Beach. So our name and entire existence is a fraud.

To rectify the situation, I think they should switch the two names, so that we'll become Long Beach at which time we'll be renamed Long Shopping Area since that's all anyone does around here anyway. Seriously, there's no pool hall, or bowling alley and the movie theatre has more mice in it than my apartment at NU junior year. But hey, if anyone needs socks you can get some at Kohl's or Marshall's or TJ Maxx or the Gap or.........
