On Things I Didn't Get To Eat (Or Drink) At The Great GoogaMooga
I am really on the fence about this. I don't hate fairs & festivals & other crap like that. But there is something just weird about the level of hype around this. And the fact it’s ultimately a pricey food festival. Just all seems weird.

On The Oddball 80s Magic Of "Battle Of The Video Games"
@davidwatts I know of Barcade. But I am talking about any other bar in this city. I mean, can’t one bar buck the trend in this city?

I genuinely liked this piece, but there is one real fatal flaw. This sentence: “Columns of curls framed his round face on either side like fly traps.” That’s pretty anti-Semitic considering how for centuries Jews have been looked upon as “insects” that need to be “exterminated” by various groups of loon balls.
“Our way of life might appear to be intact on the outside, but on the inside, there are problems.” UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE 21ST CENTURY AS SAID BY A PERSON LIVING IN THE 19TH CENTURY!!!

On The Oddball 80s Magic Of "Battle Of The Video Games"
@TimChuma Nonsense. I don't care if it's emulated or not, but why are there few to none cabinets in NYC that play games other than Ms. Pac Man & Galga. What about a Tempest machine or Asteroids?

On The Oddball 80s Magic Of "Battle Of The Video Games"
You know what. I grew up in the 1970s & 1980s. I spent a lot of quarters on tons of video games in this exact era. But I must say this: As much as it is a classic, I am SICK of Ms. Pac Man. Here in NYC any place that has a token arcade game simply has a Ms. Pac Man machine and that's it. Ms. Pac Man & Galga & that's it it seems.
No Defender or Asteroids machines anywhere? I mean seriously. All these stupid bars just have Ms. Pac Man & not even just plain Pac Man. Or even Space Invaders. BULLSHIT!

@barnhouse A.I. was a horrible film with a few nice things mixed in. Terrible film. This promo specifically makes me really want to see “Prometheus.”

@SpyMagician As a Jew who grew up in Brooklyn & whose parents are direct Holocaust survivors all I have to say is this: Comparing payos to flypaper is pretty anti-Semitic. If NYC had more secular Jews—as it did in the past—I wouldn’t be the only one saying that.
Then again, we live in an NYC where tons of folks who aren’t Jewish connect themselves to Jewishness—and some even self-declare themselves a “honorary Jews”—for reasons that make that dentist on Seinfeld look legit, so what do you I know? It seems NYC Jewishness has become a novelty act at best to most people. So what do I know?
