I believe that I'm free to post a comment without any accompanying videos or photographs.

Junior's will serve it any way you want it, Mike. You're paying for it. Circo's also has giant chocolate covered strawberries and cannoli doughnuts. I stop in there fairly often and pick up stuff for the house. I used to frequent Fortunato Brothers Cafe & Pasticceria in Williamsburg. It's not the same as when the local wiseguys hung out. It's too dammed hipster-friendly now. I also love knishes. This is a real fast food. The best place for knishes is Yonah Schimmel Knish Bakery, on E. Houston Street in the Lower EasT Side, a couple blocks down from Katz's Delicatessen. They've been in business since 1890, and at the same location since 1910. In addition to what's listed on the menu page, they make specialty knishes like jalapeno, garlic and onion, potato and sauerkraut. The apple, cherry, blueberry and chocolate cheese knishes are out of this world. I'm also a big smoked fish fan. Acme Smoked Fish, the largest producer of smoked fish and herring in the country, is located in my neighborhood. They have a "Fish Friday" sale, open to the public and everything is available at wholesale. Herrings with wine sauce.........yeah, buddy! Pete, the secret to making a good New York cheesecake, or bagels and pizza dough, is the water. You can't use hard water. Guys from New York, who compete in pizza making contests around the country, actually bring their own supply of NYC tap water to make sure the dough tastes the same.

The Life of Riley was a radio and television show, one of my favorites. Your thread title should also include TV shows.

Junior's Restaurant (literally down the block from me) in Downtown Brooklyn has been making pastrami swiss burgers since 1929. I love this place. They even have large stainless steel bowls full of garlic dill pickles at every booth. Junior's also makes the world's best cheesecakes although, Eileen's, at Cleveland Place in Lower Manhattan, is better, in my opinion. Circo's Pastry Shop is an old school Italian pastisseria. It opened in 1945 and is the last remaining Italian pastry shop in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn. This place is better than any found in Little Italy. Their cannolis are definitely the best, bar none.

Licensing rights have been a part of the model kit industry since the the 1940's. All of the model companies had to pay licencing fees to the trademark and intellectual property owners. In the U.S., the actual 1:1 cars, airplanes, etc., as actual industrial objects, are ineligible for copyright protection. However, under 17 U.S.C. 101, models as pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works; so, royalties must be paid to the originator of the design. Confusing? Yup.

Those are pickles, sliced lengthwise.

Make a deathbed confession in the presence of a priest and you'll be absolved.

Instead of forking over fifty bucks for the Ross Gibson engine, you might consider Revell 85-7603, the "69 Dodge Dart GTS as a donor which comes with a nice 383.

It does tend to validate the assertion that car modelers are cheap.

Same thing that's been going on since the hobby started. Old guys who hoarded kits drop dead, their stash is sold via estate sales or auctions, the buyers will know which kits can command top dollar, the kits will be offered for sale on certain model shop sites and eBay for really obscene money, guys on modeling sites will bitch and moan about the the prices. Oh, and we'll still be waiting, with bated breath, for the next $29.99 reissue of a 50-60 year old, technology challenged kit because it brings back warm, fuzzy childhood memories. Rinse and repeat. In other words, nothing will happen.

How about a nice Cubano? Hold the salami, though.

Until it tells us where the cheap kits are. Dead horses can be pretty stubborn.

It;s been 42 minutes since you posted. When can we expect an update?

Like Gerry said. Compared to armor kits, model cars are a bargain. Even without aftermarket add-ons, most armor is at least twice the price. Dragon Tiger Is retails for over $70. AFV Club's Patriot Missile kit will be going for a buck fifty. Even a lousy 1/35 Willys Jeep costs 35-42 dollars.

Where are you from, son? Madison City, Missouri, sir! Never heard of it.

Rich, when you lived on L.I., do you remember Trunz Meats in Williston Park and Port Washington?

Kurwa! That is the the best kind of mustard to have with kielbasa wiejska or fried kielbasa biala with some czarny chleb and sałatka ziemniaczana. I like the one from Cracovia also

James Comey told me to say that.

No condiments?!? You should know better. Always keep a pack of them in your wallet.

or

You're probably the only person who did. Whenever we were on maneuvers, we would give the little german kids our C-Rats. Even they threw the fruitcake, tuna, spaghetti and ham & eggs cans back at us.

Surprised you didn't tie numbnuts up to one of the Nike-Hercules missiles on post.

That sucks. Mine was also stolen. Teenagers from another block saw the thief with my bike, beat the living cr ap out of him and brought the bike back to my house.

We brought our own spice racks. Tabasco, garlic powder, chili powder, oregano, black pepper, etc. None of those were of any help when it came to Ham & Eggs, Chopped and Tuna Fish. If you were lucky, you'd have "Dead duke" bars in the cracker can.

I had the Apple Krate Today, my son and I have matching Grey Ghosts
