Believe it or not, those achy pains you feel running through your body at this very moment are not the result of hitting the elliptical machine too hard at the gym last night. Rather, they’re the first symptoms of what doctors are describing as Jersey Shore withdrawal. As a means of combating this degenerative condition, your friendly Vulture editors would like to involve you in a little exercise. Namely, we need your help in picking out the top ten Jersey Shore catchphrases of the season!
The rules could not be simpler. Just click through to the next page and leave your favorite three guido-riffic quotes from the season in the comment section. Now, this is the important part: We’ll be using a weighted system to compile the results, so be sure to put your choices in numerical order — a simple 1, 2, 3 will do — beginning with your favorite quote. You have until 11:59 p.m. Pacific time on Sunday night to complete this simple task. We’ll announce your selections, as well as your friendly Vulture editor’s picks, on Monday afternoon!
