I'm going to redouble my open pub posting efforts. It's fun and, at the very least, it will annoy Chup Chup.

Did you know, Long Island isn't legally an island? It's a peninsula.

It isn't all that long either.  Not impressed.

Y'all's minds would prolly be blown if ye knew that tomatoes were legally vegetables, not fruit. (Nix v Hedden)

If it were designated an island, it'd be the longest in the lower 48.
But, it's not the length of the island that matters...

It's only an island if you look at it from the water.


Jaws Novel set in Long Island, not MV!

The Jaws novel is pretty bad, Peter Benchley is an SK wannabe.

I may have read the book years and years ago. Not sure I've seen the movie, or at least never all in one sitting. Surprising, I'm sure.

Shocking.


It's a skerry movie.

My husband and kid watched it last summer. If a 6-year-old can handle it, it can't be that bad.

If we hadn't cut a shipping channel through Padre Island, it would be way longer than Long Island.  If Long Island was an island.  Size matters, especially in Texas.

Isn't Padre the longest *barrier island*? LI isn't itself a barrier island, though there are barrier islands, at least off the South Shore.
The Mooch ain't from Texas.
But maybe xero can weigh in--I thought he used to vacay at South Party Island.

I think the movie was rereleased in theaters in the late 70s or early 80s, and I was prolly 2 or 3 years older than your kid when I saw it. I saw it at the Ocean City boardwalk theater. When the movie was over, we walked out right on the boardwalk, with a moon-drenched Atlantic Ocean staring us in teh face.

I didn't go back in the water for a week.
