Hehehe!

"So tacky" -- you've got Martha's home town of Nutley down to a T, Guy. They think they're so swell there. They ain't. My mother lived in both Belleville and Nutley, and she says Nutley is Belleville putting on airs. I once saw a concert by singer Frankie Valli, lead singer of the Four Seasons, who grew up a few doors down from Mom (on Mount Prospect Avenue, in the North Ward of Newark), and he asked if there was anyone from New Jersey in the audience. Since we were living in Bloomfield when I was born, I mentioned Bloomfield. A few people said Newark, Bloomfield, Belleville, Montclair, Kearny, all towns near Newark. Frankie asked, "Anybody from Nutley?" Nobody admitted it. "Good," Frankie said, "I never liked Nutley." Everybody laughed. Need more proof of how bad Nutley is? Martha Stewart is the second famous person to come from there. The first? Michael Guibitosi, alias actor Robert Blake. Maybe Martha can cook for Bobby in jail.

Actually her family moved there from Jersey City when she was three. Is that movin' on up to the east side in that deluxe apartment or what? Actually Jersey City traded up when they moved. And Blake should have kept his original name. That Italian surname would have given him more character. So what's up with him anyway? Starts out with an Italian name, changes it to an Anglo one and then plays the part of an Italian-American cop. Seems that Nutley town tends to breed a bad element for celebs.

Who will teach us needless household tasks now?

I was the only famous resident from Nutley! My formative years were spent there and wewere not snobbish, just the best! The Old Military Hall, working class all the way. Formal Italian wear(sleeveless undershirta ) hanging out downtown. Yatacaw School I remember it well! Wow Martha Robert and Paul!
