Here’s the truthiness key to decoding this one:
Bethpage State Park: real
Long Island, NY: real
Meadowbrook: real
Meadowbrook Yek Club: errrrr…. weeeeeellll…. quantum physics tells us that anything we give thought to is real, in a sense…
I feel like I might yek.
Of *course* Bethpage State Park is real, my little Texas friend living in Turkey. I spent the first eight years of my life in Brooklyn, where I attended a day camp program that used to shlep us all out to Bethpage State Park every day.
Then I moved to Long Island. Which is not real — it’s a consensual illusion.

Dammit, I meant to say that Bethpage State Park is on Long Island.

@Mitch: oops, my mistake! Corrected now.
I assume since you didn’t mention otherwise that yekking wasn’t on your list of regular activities.

Where do you sign up to join the Yek club? Is Yek a sport or another one of those secret societies like Masons? What kind of initiation ceremony do they have? If it is a sport, where do you buy your Yek gear? I think this is one to turn over to Geraldo. I think we may be able to count on him to get to the bottom of the whole “Yek” business. I see a 3 hour special on Fox and another excuse for Geraldo to wear a khaki vest!

I love a good yek. At first I didn’t see the appeal, but I stuck with it.

I don’t think there’s any place called Meadowbrook on Long Island. There is a Meadowbrook Parkway, but I don’t know how it got its name.
This page contains a history of Meadowbrook Parkway, including a photo of the Carle Place exit taken in 1998. I don’t know why they said, “Say, let’s put up a 10-year-old photo of a highway exit that looks exactly like a photo taken at any other highway exit anywhere in the US for the last 25 years.”

@Mitch: I was more referring to the great wealth of Meadowbrook stuff in and around the park, including the Meadowbrook Motor Lodge (“The Meadowbrook Motor Lodge is located in Jericho, N.Y., less than six miles from Bethpage State Park”) and the Meadowbrook Polo Club, which, according to the web site, “offers Sunday afternoon polo to the public at Bethpage State Park,” and has done since 1879. Those are just two examples, though – Google seems to think that lots of stuff in that area is called Meadowbrook something-or-other.
