Yankees Begin Humiliating Red Sox Early
Image
Boston was celebrating the 100th Anniversary of Fenway Park Friday night by hosting the Yankees. Needless to say it didn't end well, with the Yanks handing their AL East rivals a 6-2 loss. I'm not a Yankees fan, and I'm... Continue reading

Love Bacon to Death? Now You Can
Image
J&D Foods, inventors of bacon-flavored just about everything, add a Bacon Coffin to their lineup. Enjoy the video and then buy yours. My guess is they start taking orders April 1. Continue reading

New York in the "Mad Men" Era
Image
AMC's Mad Men returns to TV Sunday night. The New York Daily News has a great photo archive of what it was like to live in New York City during the early '60s. It's worth checking out. (Warning: Slide Show) Continue reading

Go Vols in Harlem!
Image
Walking down 125th Street in Harlem yesterday and saw this fire truck parked at the light: At first I assumed that putting University of Tennessee "T"'s on fire trucks was part of a neighborhood beautification effort. In fact, it's the... Continue reading

Filling Out My Subway Bracket
Image
God bless the comedy geniuses at the FakeMTA. They've developed these brackets for all New York City subway riders. There's no doubt the Thieves/Gropers are going to overpower the Subway Agents in the first round of the MTA Ineptitude Region,... Continue reading

Thanks to the ADS for avoiding any controversy or accidentally putting anything interesting or of value in the paper this week. By treating us like children and forcing us to go online to view the issue for ourselves and get our Doonesbury, you prove exactly why newspapers have become irrelevant in the 21st century. Say hi to the buggy-whip manufacturers for us.

If I had to work instead of go to Wondercon, I'd be one unconsolable moonpie.

Get The Crowbar If You're Parking in NYC
Image
If there's a skillset that's necessary to drive in New York City, it's the ability to parallel park. Sadly, it's a skill that most Southerners -- softened by decades of Wal-Mart parking lots -- don't have. I've previously documented the... Continue reading

Subway Ad Stupid
Image
I'm a big fan of the ads in subway stations, and sometimes those who use grafitti can add something that makes them quite funny. That said, I think the people who posted this ad weren't thinking about how people might... Continue reading

No St. Patrick's Day? Fuhgettaboutit, Hoboken!

The city of Hoboken had a problem. Each year, a sizeable part of the crowds attending its annual Hoboken St. Patrick's Day parade was getting rowdier and rowdier. And with the holiday falling on a Saturday this year, the city... Continue reading

Voyeurism In The City

Once you start living in New York City, you discover an insidious disease that gradually creeps into your psyche. It's something most aren't proud of, but no one can deny that it becomes a part of their day-to-day life: You... Continue reading

Congratulations to The Giants

While still not officially a fan, I was cheering for the Giants to win Sunday night. I figure since both Mannings are Southerners, I should always root for their teams. BTW, this was officially the most-empty, most pathetic, most sad... Continue reading

Watching Someone Die In Front Of You

I have a lot of respect for MTA employees. They put up with an awful lot, be it surly passengers, cleaning filthy subway stations, bus drivers fighting New York traffic. They do it all, and for not as much money... Continue reading

Following my discussion last week about ethnic diversity, the Missus and I got to enjoy our first Chinese New Year Parade Sunday in Chinatown. The plan was to meet for dim sum beforehand, but a one-hour-plus wait to be seated... Continue reading

New Yorkers Are Still Saying Sh!t
Apparently some native New Yorkers who watched last week's "Sh!t New Yorkers Say" thought the film was a little too new- New Yorker and too hipster. So they've responded with their own YouTube video entitled "Sh!t Native New Yorkers Say."... Continue reading

It's Not Discrimination When WE Do It!
Image
One of the great things about New York City is it's diversity. Southerners don't get to experience a great deal of ethnic diversity -- in fact, they work hard to avoid it by enforcing rigid but unpublished rules of social... Continue reading

Laundry Day At The Museum
