On Now We Have So Many Bike Racks And No Bikes

Your neighbors may be peering at them but my concern with this program in NYC is my neighbors peeing on them.

On 'Friends' Creator: There Will Be No Reunion, Get On With Your Empty Life

"...also, we finally realized not everybody in NY is white."

On Horsemeat Scandal "Breathtaking, Delicious" Say British Politicians

I must now joyfully but obligatorily point out that this is a post relevant to my name.

On Why You Should Not Use Twitter For Corporate Customer Service: A Cautionary Tale

"...as I saw a friend with over a million followers do a few weeks after my own Twitter disaster."

I'll be waiting for the sequel post about why we shouldn't blog-shame our friends for twitter faux pas.

On David Mamet Reaches New Low

And here I was assuming the reason people are paying attention to his plays all of a sudden was that he died.

On Accounts of Heaven Severely Contradictory

This depresses me in the same way as NBC commercials that announce how many tens of millions of people are watching the awful, awful show.

There are so so so many of them and they're reproducing at a much faster rate than we are.

On Consider The Urban Woodsman

I also find it helps to have a $250 glass dome with a piece of moss under it on your unfinished wood furniture, and either a skull or a pair of antlers on the wall.

On Burn It Down: The New Terrible Million-Dollar Brooklyn Apartment

I honestly don't find this so insane. Having a back yard and a basement in NYC is pretty uncommon.
Also, if I lived there it'd be 15 by 10 feet of HUGE FISH TANK in the basement.

NOTE--I am, admittedly, part of the problem.

On Why Should I Pay Taxes On These Imaginary Lottery Winnings?

Scrooge got his money honestly. The only person he ripped off along the way was a voodoo chieftain, afterward he suffered for years from a hex.

He's very stingy about paying employees, though.

So no, he probably wouldn't do any of the things you suggest at the end.

Everybody here should do themselves a favor and read Don Rosa's Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck. It is awesome.

On Man Expounds

I was fortunate enough to have him as a college graduation speaker just before the last election.

Incredibly eloquent guy. Actually had me wanting to vote for his wife for a couple of weeks after the speech.
