coasties

photo from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

the university of wisconsin is the #1 school for the young ijcs these days. it seems counter-intuitive that young jappy girls from long island and los angeles choose to spend four years in a place so cold, so isolated and so white, but madison has become a finishing school for the upwardly mobile annoying girls and boys in search of a post collegiate pipeline directly to murray hill. 

not surprisingly there is some tension between the wisconsin natives and the visiting interlopers, as pointed out in two articles from local papers. instead of embracing the term ijc, the locals have invented their own term and refer to these annoying bitches that we call ijcs as "coasties":

This can be seen in another common charge against Coasties; they are said to pay for their $20,280 out-of-state tuition, Langdon Street rent, Greek lifestyle and North Face jackets with—you guessed it—“daddy’s credit card.”

When a local gripes about a Los Angeles Coastie ’s whopping sunglasses, cell phone abuse, sorority sweater and perceived wealth, he is certainly within his rights to conclude she looks ridiculous, is annoying whatever

what i really love is that while most wisco freshman live in the regular dorms, many of the out of state coasties willingly pay more to live in the "private" dorms (otherwise known as apartments) where they don't have to actually associate with people different from themselves.

But Bach, a Milwaukee native, said it's not just where Coasties live and what they wear. It's how they act. "They carry themselves like they're better than everyone," Bach said, as she sat at a cafeteria table dressed in a hooded sweat shirt and jeans. "I swear, it takes them like two hours to get ready in the morning. Most girls in my dorm roll out of bed five minutes before class."

Jason Gertler, a freshman from Olympia Fields, Ill., lives in Statesider but identifies more with Wisconsin students. "They have a spoiled mannerism," he said of Coasties. "I try to hang out with public dorm kids. They're more straightforward and quality."

after the private dorms the coasties move into the towers--imagine the biltmore or windsor court plopped down in madison--all of which makes it pretty clear why post-college they choose to flock to murray hill and 0nly socialize with their brothers and sisters from syracuse, upenn, indiana and tulane. what's the point of meeting anyone new or different?

this is just great stuff. hopefully someone out there from the university of wisconsin can shed some further light on this phenomenon?

Those who accuse this blogsite of fomenting antisemitism should think very hard about the effect these ijc's are having on the people of the midwest. If you never met a Jew before, and your first exposure is to the 'coasties', how can you not help but feel at least a twinge of antisemitism?

[Robbin]

"UW-Madison residence halls - which cost $4,716 a year - don't have enough space for all the freshmen. Under state law, the college must offer on-campus housing to Wisconsin students who enroll by a certain date. Hundreds of out-of-state students are squeezed out, and most land in privately owned dormitories off campus."

[DJ Frustration]

As a Tulane grad with a cousin there right now, I can tell you that the # of IJC's is not as high as one would think.

Plus, daddy refuses to let his precious IJC get her hands dirty. All incoming Tulane students have a community service requirement now.

[Durr]

To Anotherijc victim:

Neither the author of this site nor the article in question mentioned Jews, so the only one insinuating antisemitism is you.

there's tension between townies and college kids, old-timers and newcomers, lots of places. why make it a jewish thing?

there will be snotty kids at every college, too.

[Alando Tucker]

The claim that out-of-state residents are "squeezed out" of the public dorms is pure, unadulterated horseshit. I'm an alum of this fine university, and it's just not the case. The Towers and Statesider have existed for years and have consistently attracted the same clientele. Case in point; there are plenty of people from Iowa at UW, but you'd be challenged to find even one in the private dorms. All that being said, I used to pull some serious coastie wool at both these spots and hope these two bastions of exclusivity remain for years to come.

[Craig]

I just graduated UW in 2005. First of all, The Towers is basically a freshman dorm. Most ICJ's live in the Towers of Statesider their freshman year, then move into the luxury apartment buildings or apartments on Langdon street. The Langon street apartments, the ones closer to campus in particular, are extremely popular with the ICJ's.

I am not so sure why this story is getting so much attention now. UW has been popular with ICJ's since the 1960's when it was very politically active campus (the hippie movement was hugely popular with Long Island jap's of the mid 60's). and, maybe more importantly, the Towers were built around the same time. However, the phenomenon is so interesting, I have written papers on it as a student and burned the oil deep into the night with friends laughing at the idiosyncrasies of it all. ...And by the way, I'm Jewish, I lived in Statesider because I didn't know any better. I went to a new england boarding school and really could not stand most of the kids in the Statesider though there were some cool kids that were squeezed out of the public dorms. I joined a non-'coastie' fraternity. I live on the Upper East side, though moving to CT shortly for a job transfer.

2 sororities - AEPhi and SDT are notoriously 'coastie'. A few girls in AEPhi used to rent parking spaces behind my fraternity house and we would charge them astronomical rates for an outdoor shitty lot so they could park their BMW SUV's. We raised the price almost each year I was there and they still rented, no price seemed to high.

BUT

The trend is by no means limited to girls. 'Coastie' males at UW are just as identifiable as the girls. Most coastie guys head to the 2 Jewish fraternities of AEPI and ZBT, though AEPI is significant more Murray Hill-style jappy.

Here are a few quotes from a friend of mine regarding coastie guys at UW....

"gotta have that northface coat, the cubs hat tilted to the side, and the head nod instead of saying hey how are you"

"they walk in huge groups...god forbid they were alone"

"and all these girls fall for that shit, like its original...
driving 80 mph in their pathfinders...
notorious BIG on
where are these kids in a rush to go?
the baggy sweats"

"typical friday morning....wake up, call greenstein and ask if their is discussion section today, then go back and smoke...in a huge group, walk down langdon, cross frances...walk in between the statesider and towers and feel the jewish security...walk by some kid and ZBT and think they are leaps and bounds cooler, but in fact they are no better...and they end up in Charlie's ordering a cheesesteak and talking about some girl with the last named friedman who gave them head in the bathroom the night before"

I could go on forever, this is enough for now.

...what`s the point of meeting anybody new and different? New and different is for guys, with no money. Money, that's all the new and different which matters.

[O. Please]

well, at least this blog got out of new york for a day.

[Da E Key]

Yo Durr,

Durr this expression works pretty well for you. Townie types who have never seen Jews think we have horns growing outta our heads. They absolutely are effected by the narrow impressions that are made on them by "Coasties". If that is the only version of a Jew they are seeing how are they to disseminate between this and someone who is a Jew but has nothing to do with a Coastie.

Another IJC Victim gets alotta flak on this blog cuz he is the angriest mothafocka around and badly needs the same head in the bathroom that the Wisconsin goin IJC male is getting from Jaime or Jamie but he is quite correct here.

btw spent a year in Vermont - my favorite question I used to get asked, "Why do y'all wear those beanies on your heads."

[Remez]

--------
i would still like to know what heterosexual guy is able to ejaculate into one of these nasty hags?

and i mean ejaculate into the ijc in question while she is naked,awake, well lit and while you stare at her face during the attempted act.

please help me to understand.
------------------------------------

[Durr]

if their impression is that jews have horns growing out of their heads, and they start meeting ijc's, then they won't recognize them as jews as they have no horns.

but thanks for listening.

[Da E Key]

To Durr,

Touche. I cannot argue with logic like that!

[Eurosabr03]

Remez, (I like the screen name!)

It's called being 19 and male. Or do you turn down an offer of cheap pizza when starving just because it's cheap, greasy food?

Dial Key,

Imagine meeting a black Jew such as your self this must confuse the hell out of them.. Until you drop your trousers and show them your length size challenged genitalia, then then they figure it all out.

Indeed. Da E Key is a Brutha who is full of surprises. In some cases my blackness allows me to compensate for my Jewishness. I can do rimrockin reverse slam dunks at the testy courts of Bridgehampton summer house swimming pools.

However, much like Rod Carew before me (even though he converted) my Jewishness haunts me in certain departments. Hot Dog in da Hallway was what my hip hoppin fellow bruthas used ta call me when we stole condoms from 7-11 back in da day.

Word to yo mutha!

breathe and take your hand off it.

[AnotherIJCvictim]

To Durr:
Da E Key is, as always, absolutely correct.
When I was a resident in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit at Columbia Presbyterian here in NYC (1988-89), there was an elderly Jewish patient, comatose, with a concentration camp number tattooed on her arm. She had two prominent sebaceous cysts on her scalp, each about the size of a golf ball. A nurse, with heavy midwestern drawl, innocently remarked that “…she must be a Jew- look at those horns…”. To this day, I remain shaken by that remark.
It would be unfair to expect every ijc in Wisconsin to 'represent' on behalf of Jews, but there is no doubt that they aren't helping matters any.

[Da E Key]

Take my hand off it? I cannot find it in the first place! It melds in with the black forrest that is my hairy pubes!

Dial Key,
Because I am so bored and have nothing better to do, I have read EVERY single comment you have posted on this site...Don`t get SCARED. I`m not that resourceful as to actually find you-although don`t think for a moment I haven`t created a mental picture of you in my head. I hope you are rich and you like to be bossed around and taken for granted, and do you like to work, cause I have very expensive tastes? Sure I could work for it and just love you for you but you know that`s not going to happen. Pull up
your sleeves and start making us money bubby!!!I need a new pair of oversized glasses, UGGS and an expensive handbag..You are rich aren't you? If you aren't don't waste my time, who cares about guys with no money-their mothers.
kisses in naughty places.bring me money..I need a 10 000 for starters to get LIPO then aw shit I have no life..wanna fuck?

The girl on the top picture has a devil may care attitude, her sunglasses also say a lot about her , they are not harsh, as are the glasses on the girl at the bottom of the screen, look closely and ou'll see that the glasses make all the difference.Both girls have interesting faces and yet the one on the top picture is wearing sunglasses better suited for her face,. Dark glasses on a woman's face give her an illusion of masculinity a little too aggressive, and that's not the look we are going for here. The glasses up top are the more expnesive of the 2 they cost roughly 1200 dollars, I know I have a pair. I didn't buy them, I stole them. I took them from a girl at Jerry's diner, she got up to go the washroom and I casually swiped them, no one noticed. I wear those glasses everywhere- only when the sun is blinding me. Once in a while I use my hand with which to shield the sun.It's disgusting that people have that kind of money to spend.I eat Kraft dinner 3 times a week and this bitch is wearing 1200 dollar glasses? I also stole the wallet out of her bag...that's because she had a wad t h i s
t h i c k sticking out of her wallet, it's her own damn fault, plus I had to pay off my credit card bill at Saks.

[Da E Key]

yo jus a girl...'sup...'sup yo...so tell me about this mental picture you have...

Da E Key doesn't really call what he does "work" per se...One cannot really call pimpin' a job...

Indeed Da E Key's secret fantasy is to be bossed...since my daily day involves tellin my secretaries/hos what coffee I like/what tricks to turn the thrill of getting commanded is a most enticing one.

Da E Key knows what you want - I will lie you down and stimulate your naughtiest places as i force you to catch $100 bills with your newly collagened lips. It will be a world of pleasure your newly lippo-ed body has yet to experience.

Da SexEy Key

Dial Key,

It's a really slow work day...you make me laugh, a little...I'm bored out of my mind, I HATE HATE MY JOB!!! More than anything I hate the fact that I am a secratary, sure I boss everyone around and have a surly attitude, but I make like 2 bucks an hour to the gagillions of bucks my Jewish boss makes. There is no particular reason I mention that he's Jewish, well maybe there is, I know you won't get offended, you're my superhero. What coffee do you like by the by? You don't seem to me a man of particular tastes is all, you sip it out of a paper bucket, styrofoam..tell I'm bored. Since this IJC guy is having a slow day too, I though I 'd take a commercial break and use his blog to amuse myself...Sure I could create my own blog and leave this guy alone, but then I couldn't be annoying could i don't answer that. It's rhetorical..I'm kind of jealous of these coastie girls, well not kind of, really jealous. They have it all

[Da E Key]

sup,

Da E Key is glad he can brighten your day...perhaps one day you will come across Da E Key in your travels, should you wish Da E Key to find you Da E Key will. Do not worry about your jewish boss...us jews have an unwritten law that forbids one of us from cockblocking another when Schiksas are involved (this extends to non coasties as well). For Seinfeld speaketh the truth when discussing the powers of Schiksappeal! Also as Da E Key is your superhero nothing bad can happen to you while you direct your comments to Da E Key.

Right now i am drinking coffee out of a paper cup from Da Office Coffee Machine with Lactaid milk. Da E Key needs his 4pm caffeine. Though Da E Key is a superhero my kryptonite be Da Evil Lactose creatures that reside in a quart of milk (lowfat or whole).

Da E Key must now get back to work...One of my hos is gettin too much attitude and is askin for a dreidel up her ass.

Dial tone
haha..seriously, now you REALLY made me laugh, and I too, am drinking coffee, the coffee I made, for everyone else, not complaining I like making coffee, anything wrong with that? Shiksa appeal , my Jewish friends tell me I should be offended by that term, I'm not, and i'm ethnic- does that count as 'shiksa'?
We get jew fever - the forbidden fruit, it's always sweeter, and then your parents start freaking out, 'What a Jew, a Jew are you crazy, those people don't believe in Jesus!'..and then your mom starts faking heartattacks....cancer migraines, cavities...office coffee machine that's coffee'urine' it'll bury a hole through your stomache, get yourself a nice machine and start making your own coffee..that's one thing your peeps no nothing about, food, you'll eat anything that's garbage...but you guys have the market cornered on everything else..
you'd think working for jews and they would have already caught on to the fact that i'm 'scratching it' sorry Greek term, for doing nothing, but they haven't. Maybe cause they really like me, or they are waiting to fire my ass ACADEMY AWARD style?
oh, and if you're going to drink coffee do not use LACTAID, it's blasphemy. LACTAID are you insane, it doesn't matter if you are intolerant, take it like a man, or drink skim...ok skim, that's so George Michael gay, but LACTAID -come on homey...
Seriously bored and tired, i'm an insomniac I haven't slept in 4 days and counting, being an insomniac is similar to being drunk, only you don't feel horny, you just feel tired..
O.k Mr., thanks for showing me a good time, I gots to get get ready...for home...mmm me so hungry...
