Maybe North Korea could be encouraged to test their nuclear devices on the Hamptons.

It recalls Rodney Dangerfield's..."any club that woulds let me join I wouldn't wanna be a member of.."......I mean, Puff-Daddy....he's the height...er, the pits..of...

I went to Jet East in 1998. The idea of continuing to party in stuffy obnoxious places like this makes me ill.

[George W. Bush]

Gay, gayer, gayest.

This Hamptons thing is for the well-heeled snob sodomites that are too uppity to just go to Fire Island.

[Born in a Rage]

All of the naysayers on this thread are just jealous, Mr. Magoo. I used to live on Long Island close to the Hamptons and it was a fun place. There was a club in Sag Harbor that I used to go to called Bay Street that was huge - lots of dancing, lots of movie stars, nice people....it is very cool when you are in your 20's! Now a friend of mine owns a few huge homes out in Montauk and we stay out there sometimes....a very cool place when you're in your late 30's :-)

I consider myself lucky. Guess I would have had a whole different perspective on life had I grown up in Iowa?

[Moose4]

Got to love it. People so shallow you could wade across 'em without getting your pant cuffs wet.

I'm hard pressed to criticize rich guys in their twenties with models hanging all over them. Lucky bastards...

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Ooooooooh I'm so envious of stupid kids drinking French pissy wine and yakking about how much money they inherited from their folks and what person they plan on sleeping with next......

Yeah, I'm "playa-hating" all right...

[ServesURight]

Well said! You have to remember that most FReepers are a bunch of old codgers who's idea of "fun" is to smoke cheap cigars and talk about where the best fishing holes are (Cue the scene where there's a stuffed Deer head on the wall and a bearskin rug on the floor) LOL

[Russ]

You young whipper-snapper, I could party you right under the table (at least until 9:00PM). And you should see what I can do with that bearskin rug on the floor...

[wtc911]

Groucho...not Rodney.

[presidio9]

That's because you weren't coked up. The article fails to point out that the appeal of these places is tied to the yuppy drug subculture.

[The Toll]

Welcome to a serious coke problem.

Au contraire, Im not that old and I despise cheap cigars.:)

We visited Long Island and stayed in Westhampton Beach for about a week. We had a great time . The Artful Dodger was fun but many of the people we met(not all of course) stuck me as rich snobs, loser sycophants, and trust brats ala Lizzie Grubman. People with their heads lodged in their arses have always been a turn off.

To each his own.

Yeah, at least it was nice to see an article we can all relate to like this.

[Mr. Bird]

Well, I am in my thirties....but yes. 8^)

. . .with actress-scenester Tara Reid.

So that's what they're called these days.

Cripes, these days I'm grateful as all get out when I get a shot of cleavage when the barmaid bends over to get a beer out of the cooler....
