Hey New Yawk, DeBlasio's bringing back the stabbings. It'll be SO exciting again.
Plus, it's true -- Hipsters ARE everywhere.
I'm so glad I got out. On the other hand I can stare out my window at the field and trees and sky and not be bored. If all that bores you to tears New York's where it's at.
Fields and trees and sky sound pretty good right now.
Yesterday a 400 pound homeless guy dressed in rags with no shoes turned over the newstand box outside my store. He sat his fuckin' Eric Garner ass on it and held up a piece of cardboard asking for money. He talked to every passerby. He talked to women who were looking in my window.
Naturally I wanted to tell him to bounce. The wife stopped me because she worried about my stress level and what I would do. So I said ok. We will give him today but if he shows up tomorrow I gotta do something.
So we are walking to the store and his smelly fuckin ass is there in front of the store. I happen to notice that a couple of cops were walking into the pork store across the street. So I sidle in there to talk to them. Two lesbians. But hey lesbians like lingerie too!
I chat with them. I tell them I don't want any muss or fuss. Just want him to move on down the highway. They go over and chat. He leaves.
We are having a lingerie party with the female officers in the surrounding three precients with some champagne and snacks.
Troop, Get creative and dress him up in some of your best stuff - live model. It's a pretty good sales pitch if you can make him look good. Maybe hose him down first.
I am having difficulty getting the line to scan, but would change the lyrics to something like "De whole friggin' place is one big friggin' zoo", but that's just my opinion, mind you.
When I had a troublemaker fish it's what I sing it when I flushed it down the toilet. The kindest person I know, wouldn't hurt a fly, more kind even than the Hari Krishna guy, sweet, saccharine actually, tooth-decayingly achingly sweet was nearby and I though, "What is Alan going to think about this animal cruelty?" Alan jumped up with alarm bashed into the tiny room and nearly stuck his face into the toilet to see for himself the mean fish swimming around and then laughed like a madman. He delighted in the spectacle of the live fish swirling and swept away. If I'd allowed him to piss on it he would. ˚ This startled me. Out of character by 180˚. Dr. Jeckel/Mr. Hyde. Janis. Gemini. Schizophrenic. I asked him, "This doesn't bother you?"
"All for the good for the community. Community first."
Brutal. I never did look at him the same after I killed that mean little fish.
I have a lot of shopping to do. Ordinary things. Regular things.
And I hate that because it's such a bummer scoping it all out, traveling around, packing it in, packing it out, packing it up, unpacking it, putting it all away. What a drag. And there's a lot. Could be 2 or 3 trips back and forth upstairs and down to the truck in basement garage to my apartment on the 5th floor. Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.
I put it off.
Did without and now I must go out and shop.
I saw a commercial for Jet.com so I checked them out. Seemed okay. Placed my first order and it said I saved 30 bucks. Whatevs. it's worth paying more to have it all delivered.
They even have bonito flakes They even have nori sheets They even have sweet mirin They even have kombu They even have osembi (rice crackers that I love) They even have real wasabi, along with various horseradish types.
I tried pop-up books, they have a lot of those things too.
I tried "middle egyptian" and all the familiar books came up.
It could not have been easier. I sure hope this works. Now I can go shopping for food and not concern myself with any extra stuff. It's all dumb stuff, but such a bummer for me to pack and drag around.
They have my favorite Ovaltine.
Scott's liquid gold that I want to try.
Various soaps that I bought.
I looked at dental tools (for carving plaster)
I think it's a good deal. We'll see.
I guess Amazon does all this too, I am interested to see how they ship it. I think Amazon will be spread out over several sources. I don't know. This is a test.
The Bronx is up and the battery's down, People ride in a hole in the ground...
Troop, what do you buy from Walmart that is cheaper than Amazon? I compare stores like Walmart, Supermarket Chains, Costco all the same. Walmart generally is competitive but not cheaper (for the most part) with most. I have not done Sam's Club but figured that is about the same as Costco.
You have to be very careful with Amazon. You can't click on buy it again because you will not always get the same price. You will get the same goods but not the same price. They trick you at Amazon.
I don't have the space to buy stuff in bulk the way you can at Costco.
Jet.com neato. I'll have to try it. Let us know how it works out Chip.
I searched for rice and polenta and the prices seem cheap although they don't have the brand of polenta that I like.
Amazon Prime is the bomb. We order all the time from them. Big box stores are pretty far away from us so we make a trek to Costco, Winco and Trader Joe's about every other month and buy buy buy in mass quantities (like the Coneheads). Amazon is great,especially with the free shipping.

New York's Alright (If You Like Saxaphones).
"We got six friggin zoo's!"
In L.A. we only have one, but it has 11 million primates. Many are expert poo flingers.
Each week we open the cage doors and run wild, because IT'S FRIDAAAAAYYYYYY!
I count 5. Manhattan, King, Queens, The Bronx (or Bronxnia) and Richmond. What's the sixth?

That's how New York works.

Why do I hear the words, "hidden video", over and over?
Hey don't knock if you haven't tried it.
I am trying for a double reverse transgender extra special affirmative action tax credit.
Ed trust me. You don't want that on video.
Don't think Angie Dickinson.
Think Tracy Chapman. Just sayn'
I think the sixth zoo is the Aquarium in Coney Island.
I am having difficulty getting the line to scan, but would change the lyrics to something like "De whole friggin' place is one big friggin' zoo", but that's just my opinion, mind you.
Hey it fits.
This is pretty funny.

Believe it or not I shop at Walmart all the time. Now there is not one in New York City but you can shop online.
The communists like DeBlasio won't allow Wallmart to open a store so you are forced to order online. You can beat Amazons prices by a lot.

Paper Towels. Coffee. Clorox. Kleenex.
