Jackie's Quirky Musings

A New Jersey Coke Dealer?  Exactly what kind of "coke" are we talkin' about here? 

Well, today's the deadline!  New Jersey is looking for a new state slogan to replace the oh-so-lame "New Jersey and You."

Some of the suggestions in the NJ Star Ledger article - The good, the bad and the totally bizarre are:

"We're All You Need."
"New Jersey Loves Somebody, Anybody, Everybody."
"Watchful & Waiting."
"A Pleasant Place to Live, Work and Play."
"What's It To You?"
"Big Hair, Big Heart, Big Fun."
"The State That Looks Like George Washington."
"Leave Your Heart in San Francisco & Take Your Wallet to New Jersey."
"Home of the Free, the Brave and the Best Shoppers on the Planet."
"Great Place to Visit, You Just Can't Afford to Move Here."
"Three-quarters of the State Is Really Nice."
"Most of Our Elected Officials Have Not Been Indicted."
"We've Got Three Really, Really Big Roads."
"If Living Here Were Easy, It Would Be Another State."
"We Don't Need No Stinkin' Slogan."
"The Traffic Will Kill You, Have a Nice Day."

Joe Pesci and Robert DiNiro approached the Governor and suggested, "New Jersey: You Got a Problem With That?"

I have an evil streak.  I bolded the ones I like.  ;-)

I'd also throw in the Suggestion Pot a few of my own:

New Jersey: Only the Strong Survive
New Jersey: Where You Take a Right to Take a Left
New Jersey: We Don't All Talk Funny
New Jersey: The Most Densely Populated With People and Malls
New Jersey: Not All Refinery Tanks and Chemical Dumps
New Jersey: If You Can Drive Here, You Can Drive Anywhere
New Jersey: Home of Jersey Barriers
New Jersey: How Ya Doin'
New Jersey: We're Sensitive... Don't Tease Us!
New Jersey: From McMansions to Slums, We Rule
