Little Debbie Honey Buns are really good. Although, at $179/bx, they aren't worth the trip to stir.

I stopped that a long time ago. I stomped the carp out of some ballsy skell who was stupid enough to yank my shoulder demanding some change. There is one exception. There's an old Puerto Rican dude that I've known for almost twenty years. He plays his Strat on the G train. He is a genuine hippie throwback. He has his battery powered amp set up on a luggage cart and plays some of the best guitar this side of Jimi. He doesn't pressure anyone for a handout. Doesn't have to. Everybody loves the guy. My son and I have taken him to lunch a lot of times or we'll hang out at the park with some eats from the cuchifrito store and a couple of beers. This is a good dude and I always appreciate and enjoy his company when we run into each other. I see a lot of "homeless" millennials around in the Village and Lower East Side. What's odd is that almost all of them have Macbooks and iPhones. You can afford s**t like that; yet, you have the nerve to ask me, or anyone else, to feel sorry for your predicament? Sell your stuff, get a job or starve. No skin off my fat Polak *ss.

It does amaze me that, in this day and age, there are people who ignore the fact that we have stuff like deodorant available. It's really noticeable on a crowded Manhattan-bound A train.

Styrene chop shop, Carl. The sum of the parts is greater than the whole.

I've seen those "Psychotic Friends Network" commercials. You know, the scam endorsed by Dionne Warwick. A buck a minute. Nice payday, it is.

You mean to tell us that The Jerry Springer Show is fake?

You're from Chicago. Lots of Poles living there, right? remember those old Polish babci? There were, and still are, plenty of them here in Greenpernt. i remember seeing them knock the living bejesus out of their husbands after dragging them out of the corner bar. Some of those old panis could snap your neck with one swipe of their hand. Parking meters can't kick your *ss.

Use the power of vig. Six for five. Don't make me look for you on payday, see?

You'd need a really long stick to do that in a subway grating. It's about fifteen feet from the sidewalk to the ledge at the bottom. Some of the older guys used to heist parking meters and drill out the locks on the collection cans. The meters were impervious to sledgehammers.

There's a better class of vermin in the underground version.

With the shipping box?

If you like your plan, you can keep it. Only, it'll cost you more and not cover what it used to. I was lucky when I broke my neck. I didn't spend one thin dime out of pocket for anything, including surgery. Workman's Comp and the company's employee insurance plan covered everything including the associated physical therapy.

Shouldn't this be in the "What did you get today" thread? Yeah, it's really claustrophobic. I had two done after my accident. Oh, you were provided with noise-cancelling headphones? Lucky you. The sound is like being jammed into a steel pipe and someone is using a jackhammer on the outside.

Saw this a few minutes ago: RAREST MODEL KIT EVER! Original ©1962 SMP/AMT 1911 Chevrolet Model Car Kit w/Bag Anybody got a spare $1724.49 lying around?

Wow! R2 hit a homer with this kit.

It's a mystical, magical subterranean wonderland full of adventure, thrills and excitement. And lots of bums and annoying panhandlers. No need to go to Six Flags when you can experience the same, if not better, for the price of a slice of pizza.

You live in a city that has a smaller population than my neighborhood. Who you see, work with or live among is an insignificantly small percentage compared to me. That means I have a larger sample from which to observe and comment on. Et tu Steve? You're being judgemental about someone you never saw, worked with or lived near. How do you square that?

To be accurate, that is a subway ventilation grating. This is a sewer (manhole) cover A New York sewer is like a box of chocolates. You never know what's inside until you open it

Back in the 1950's, TV and other media cooperated with the government in promoting American economic prosperity and cultural values of the average American, sort of psychological warfare directed at the USSR. That's why Jim Anderson, Ward Cleaver and a host of other TV husbands/fathers would be wearing a friggin suit and tie on a Saturday afternoon and TV wives/mothers would be decked out like they were going to a formal dinner while cooking breakfast. Who wanted to wear Mao jackets or babushkas? They'd work. So would this

I checked at Frigidaire's website. There are options for drawers. Nothing for colors, except the previously mentioned options. not even avocado green, fer Pet's sake!

It comes right back to the "cars are just appliances" mindset. At one time, you could even get a new range, washer or refrigerator in something other than white or stainless.

You can't ignore what surrounds you.

Enough to trigger a seizure if you stare at it long enough. It would compliment the blue plastic of one of my Turbine Cars nicely.

If anyone is interested, Model Car Mountain has an open unbuilt '63 Starfire available for $49.99.

Yeah, but this is original custom crud. Seriously though, people will sell at what some consider a ridiculous price because somebody will bite and buy. Sometimes, it's a matter of "If I don't jump on it now, it'll cost more later" mentality. Also, notice that it wasn't offered at auction. If he did, he'd be lucky if he'd pocket twenty bucks, maybe.
