There's facebook and myspace websites dedicated to the hatred of bennies, that my female friend has showed me.
My roomate thats from Tom's River rocks the "LOCAL" sticker that goes vertically up the windshield of his BMW 335i and always has his long board in his trunk. The female always comments on how she wants the sticker and how she had a custom made hoodie or shirt that says "LOCAL" on it.
Really, its two different cultures. I'm from somewhere in between where I'm not complete NYC but I'm within 45minutes of the city. I'd be alienated from the beach cultture and from the metropolitian culture since I don't know my way, intimately, around either of those places - although I've been there enough times to know what its all about.
As I wrote this, my roomate called me to tell me he was heading back home to check the waves for the night...thats the definition of a local.
Me, I rock my birkenstocks rather than thong sandles and get called a benny.
