SORRY MOM & DAD: A 'Shore' bet

Dear Mom & Dad,

Sometimes when people my age drink, they start slurring quotes from MTV’s “Jersey Shore.” It’s not at all unusual for someone to pause a game of beer pong and shout, “The cabs are here!” even though there’s no taxi expected, and nobody is going anywhere except the bathroom to “break the seal.” And it’s always expected for at least one idiot to walk into the party and announce, “Party’s here!” I know this because I’m usually that idiot. Hell, sometimes I even say that when I walk into Wal-Mart.

Let’s face it. The quotes of Snooki and the gang are as addictive as crystal meth or masturbating. My personal favorite: “I’m going to Jersey Shore ... Bitch!”

While fans of the show usually shout it when peeing in a bush or as a toast to a shot of vodka, I actually got the chance to say it when I was given a private tour of the cast house where “MVP” get down and dirty.

I discovered on my tour that anybody can say it. While Elvis fans have Graceland and Lindsay Lohan fans have the Betty Ford clinic, “Jersey Shore” fans have the cast house, which is now for rent!

After calling off work and taking a road trip to gorilla juice-head heaven, aka Seaside Heights, N.J., I met up with a man named Mike Loundy.

The owner of Seaside Realty, Inc., Loundy is the great and powerful wizard behind the curtain when it comes to orchestrating the highest-rated cable show in television history. Not only does he house the cast, but he sets up full accommodation for the staff of more than 100.

He’s now making sure fans of the pop-culture phenomenon have their chance to GTL in Seaside Heights, too.

Rates start at $2,500 for the night or $4,000 for the weekend, which may sound like a lot, but when you get 12 of your closest friends together, it only comes to a little more than $200-$300 a person to stay at the most famous party house in the world.

For more information on renting the “Jersey Shore” house, visit www.seasiderealtynj.com and watch my segment “What’s Going Down ...” on WBRE’s “PA Live!” Friday, Jan. 6 at 4 p.m.

Love,
Justin xoxo  

TV Guide wasn’t kidding when it called Justin a real-life Van Wilder for skipping school to be on a reality show. He now shares his wildest adventures while saying “Sorry, Mom and Dad ...”
