Chrusciki are somewhat similar to funnel cakes. The dough is shaped into thin twisted ribbons then deep fried until crispy.

You live in the wrong neighborhood if you can get them only once a year. Obviously, not enough "Skis" in the phonebook. They're available year-round at any Polish grocery or meat market. If you guys know from pączki, you must've had chrusciki (Angel Wings). The best with coffee. I'm having some as I type.

If whining could be used as an alternative energy source, we'd be riding on Easy Street.

Today, 33 Grand will cover a little over 4 years' worth of common charges for a $925,000, 699 sq.ft. 1BR (3 rooms incl. BR) condo unit on the Williamsburg waterfront. Like, Yah.....

That was around nineteen eleventy-two, give or take a century. Everybody needs to buy diesel powered vehicles. You can run them on No.2 heating oil with no ill effects. Get yerself a cap wrench, some hose and a hand pump and you can refill from your neighbor's storage tank. Make sure they're not home, though. Some people can't take a joke.

BFD. The problem with electric vehicles is the method of recharging the batteries. As of the present, one has to either have a giant plug installed in their house to plug into the car, reminiscent of Hot Wheels Sizzlers; or, if you're a city rat, find a recharging station, again a la Sizzlers. Good luck with that. With all of the money pissed away on R&D, they still haven't figured out how to charge the batteries while the car is operating? Of course, the more resourceful apartment-dwelling denizens can be creative by popping the kick plate off the nearest streetlamp and tap the municipal lines, like we used to do to in order to get juice for the stereos we brought to the park for music during keg parties back in the '70s.

The only way that might happen is if Tesla scales up Ideal Toy Corp.'s old Motorific line. The average wage slave will be hard pressed to buy a car in the future at the rate the sticker prices are rising. The average pre-tax income in the U.S. is $53,657. The average sticker price for a new car is $33,560.

Man, we think alike. That's the first thing I check. Entenmann's have shrunk in size ever since Bimbo Bakeries (what a great name!) bought the operation. When It comes to donuts, every day is a cheat day for me and my kid. We get our fix at Moe's Doughs. He make the best Red Velvet Volcanoes and Maple Bacon (two of the most important food groups) doughnuts.

I'll see your four and raise you three. NYS residents pay SEVEN taxes on a gallon: Here's the joker in the deck: Big price differentials at the pump in NYC. As of this moment, the cheapest gas in my area is at a Sonomax station at $1.83/gal. for regular. Incidentally, until recently, this station sold 108 Octane racing fuel for $7.49/gal. Then, there's a BP station at the FDR Drive and E.23rd St. in Manhattan selling regular for $2.59 and premium for $3.19.

Yeah....like 65% of lottery revenues in NYS were supposed to fund education. If the gas tax hasn't been used to maintain and repair either before, what makes you think that it'll be used for that later? There are potholes I know on a first name basis around here.

That was you?!?

You have to understand that I live in Disney's newest theme park attraction - Stupidland, aka Brooklyn. The person working at the prescription pick-up counter isn't any better. She looked at my name on the envelope and told me my name is "Ra-low (pronounced like "ow!") ski". I corrected her and said it's pronounced "Zrud-luff-ski". She countered with, "No, that's wrong. The "Z" and "D" are silent." What do you mean "it's wrong"? I think I know how to pronounce my own name! Why the hell would they be silent?!? They wouldn't be part of my name if they were silent. "Yeah, maybe that's how you say it in Holland or wherever you come from; but, you live in America now. So, get used to it." Now, what was that about insulting a cashier's intelligence? I need to start carrying a baseball bat when I go shopping.

Those cost overruns are known as baksheesh in other locales and are how public servants who get paid $179K/yr end up with net worths in the seven to eight digit range after a couple of terms in office.

I asked about a vet's discount at the same drug store where I was carded for cigarettes and was told, by the same cashier, that the animal clinic was three blocks away.

Alcohol has excellent preservative qualities.

One of those municipalities isn't NYC; common sense by the seller is permitted. If in doubt, card'em. That doesn't mean stopping every swingin' Richard walking into the joint. One would need to possess a modicum of intelligence to feel insulted in the first place. The regs in NYC are pretty straightforward and do permit the vendor/seller/cashier to use common sense. Number 3 is the pertinent one: Notice where it reads "appears to be under 25 years old". That's pretty clear, isn't it? It's not difficult to determine if someone with graying hair and wrinkles is older than 18, never mind 25, by looking at that person. So...yeah, "too friggin' stupid to use common sense" is apropos.

Don't forget June Lockjaw, June Foray ( the voice of Rocky the Flying Squirrel), Kirk Douglas, Olivia de Havilland, Marty Allen, Lupita Tovar and Dewey Martin. In case you did, that's O.K. Old people tend to forget things.

Well, we still have Fyvush Finkel, Professor Irwin Corey and Larry Storch.

Two professions never lacking business.....morticians and lawyers.

Too friggin' stupid to use common sense. Only cockroaches and cashiers will survive a nuclear war. I've had the same happen in a number of places lately. I never got carded when my friends I hung out in bars or bought fifths of Wild Turkey at the liquor store when I was 14 (42 years ago). Now, the zombies behind the counter at Duane Reade ask for I.D. when I buy a pack of smokes.

Yeah, Yeah, non capio. Non es mercandum, annonae foret. Tibi fructibus ingens punctum argumentum ad nauseam, memoratorum. Ita aiunt verbera cessent equus mortuus.

Gettin' old, man.......Another great musician headed for that all star jam session in Heaven. I was lucky to see David Bowie in concert three times, twice in '74 (July and November) for the "Diamond Dogs" tour and in March '77 when he played with Iggy Pop at the Palladium during the "Idiot World Tour".

Mike makes the most sense. First, drop the anchor and you won't worry about her telling you how to spend it. THEN, you can think about tooling. Let's see....tooling......gentlemen's club........tooling...pfft.... yeah, right.....

Heck, I'll take it off your hands if you don't like it. You could, like, end up with acid reflux or a bad case of gout if you keep it.

Speaking of Yugos, in the late '80s, there were dealerships in NYC giving away free Yugos with the purchase of a new car.
