The only blog written from the NYC Subway system

Here’s  disturbing blurb from the AP I came across today: Federal authorities are warning law enforcement personnel of a possible terror plot against the New York City subway system during the holiday season. An internal memo obtained by The Associated Press says the FBI has received a “plausible but unsubstantiated” report that al-Qaida terrorists in [...]

So tonight I had to go rent a car for Thanksgiving travel.  Unfortunately, I didn’t know that every garage in my neighborhood was going to be filled to capacity. Where the hell did all these cars come from?  There’s no room in the garages, and there’s no room to park on the streets.  I drove [...]

So a fat woman and a gay guy walk into a bar.  (Just kidding) Instead, a skinny gay guy sits down next to a biiiiiiig hunk of woman on the subway.  She’s easily a seat-and-a-halfer.  Her thighs are just spilling over into the seat next to her. She was all the way at the end [...]
