Part One: http://bsc-snark.livejournal.com/406709.html

Previously on BSC visits the Jersey Shore Claudia learned how to count in summer school, Mary Anne and Dawn convinced some kids to attend day camp in their back yard, and the girls all shared a tearful goodbye when Jessi, Mallory, and Stacey left for Sea City a whole week before the others.

Then Jackie Rodowsky can't play because he scratched his eye with a plastic drinking straw and has to wear an eye patch. Come the fuck on how is that even possible?

When I was 9, I got a paper cut on my eyeball at my birthday party. My cousins were tossing the paper hats we got from McDonald's (yeah, this was long ago, when b-day parties at Mickey D's was COOL) and one hit me just right in the eye. Paper cut. Hurt like motherfreaking HELL. Had to end the party early, I was in such horrible pain. Not much of anything could be done for us, except try to keep a moist cloth on it, anything to numb the nerve endings around my eye. So .. it's definitely possible!

Ugh that sounds incredibly painful

Re the Kuhns' names: I never knew how "Kuhn" was pronounced until Buddy and Jake had that fight and called each other "Cruddy Carrot" and "Fake Prune". And now their name makes me think of Maine Coons, aka the Essex Lion.

Jessi is taking the younger girls to the ice cream shop where some teenage boys are dressed as a barber shop quartet and singing the word ice cream.
I don't know who I feel sorrier for, the boys, the other employees or the parents/babysitters/nannies who take their kids there.

Fake Prune and Cruddy Carrot still make me laugh and laugh. NO REGRETS.

I'm totally picturing that episode of Modern Family where they go to Disney and Hailey sees her ex-boyfriend on the tandem bike wearing a barbershop quartet outfit...and the guys all crash...

I'd always thought Kuhn was like Kun (rhyming with done) before reading about Cruddy Carrot and Fake Prune. Since then, I've thought Kuhn = Kyoon (long U). Even though Prune doesn't have a long U. I've probably been pronouncing a lot of the names incorrectly for the past ~24 years.

Anyway the girls finally get the ice cream and Jessi thinks the cashier is hot, so she has to inform us that he is also black.

Cause god forbid she go outside her own race.

THANK YOU! This bugs me soo much about the BSC. It's like Ann and the ghosties have never heard of the concept of interracial dating in regards to anyone but Claudia.

About the barbershop quartet of teenagers, here's a fun fact: Coldstone Creamery makes you sing in a group as part of their interview process. I never had to sing because the other people who were coming to the interview were late. I didn't get the job, but then when two guys opening a Coldstone franchise ask you what your favorite flavor of ice cream is - and it's not something obscure like Dinosaur Crunch but something common like Tin Roof Sundae - and you have to tell them what's in it? Yeah... that Coldstone is now a Church's Chicken - or a Dunkin' Doughnuts, I can't remember which.

Jessi: don't tell them at all. Enter the darn contest and just have fun. When the girls don't win, say something Stoney-brookian like "You're right girls, it wasn't fair. They should have had separate contests - one for kids and one for adults."

I used to work there in high school. Yes, they make you sing and they have songs for you to memorize. It sucks when you wind up being the only person singing alone to a customer because your teammates either can't hear you or don't bother to join in like they're supposed to.

The things that always bugged me about Kotton Kandy Korner is the their intials are KKK. Like, doesn't anyone think these things out?

Jessi thinks the cashier is hot, so she has to inform us that he is also black.

Why is it that Jessi only ever has the hots for black guys? Claudia has liked all kinds of guys. It's always stuck out to me. They did the same thing on Jem too.

They eat the ice cream and the kids obnoxiously want to go in every single store and touch every single thing

Omg! This part always bugged me! Because it says they were eating their ice creams, then looking around the stores and then finished their ice creams. So they took them into the stores?! Bullshit! No store is going to let a bunch of sticky little kids come and paw their merchendise! God, the things I remember. Nothing important, just bullshit from stupid books I read years ago.
