New Yorkers need to learn how to share

[DS1]

:hide:

[underpants]

1. Time to dust of the "All encompassing New York response to anything"

(sounds of papers shuffling.....sound of someone blowing dust off paperwork....sound of clearing of throat)

STUFF LIKE THAT HAPPENS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD EVERY WEEK

(exits stage left)

[DS1]

2. Hey Letterman, you forgot to tap your pencil, check your tie

grimace, and look over to Paul Shaffer

[underpants]

3. ( adjusts glasses with both hands) You KNOW....

I found this picture which has nothing to do with the topic

[DS1]

4. I'm okay with that

This was a much better Letterman performance, however.

[underpants]

5. I hate to take this thread off topic but...

comparing Drew Barrymore to Christina Applegate is like comparing a $5 gutter slut to Christina Applegate.

[DS1]

6. I could've posted Courtney Love doing it

I'm merely pointing out that CA should've done it too :D

[underpants]

9. Oh see now I have to think about her dancing on a table

that's not going to help anything.

BTW- I told matcom about "The Last True Story I will ever tell" by John Crawford. I am 70 pages in (very quick read) and it is like being back in the Army. Nothing has changed (except the setting). I completely get his sense of humor and I can identify with the whole Catch22 element (again, much different setting) he was stuck in.

A GREAT read.

[DS1]

10. I'll check it out

and for your gif stealing happiness

[Richardo]

20. Glad you're liking that one, U.P.

It IS a fast read. :thumbsup:

[Richardo]

19. .

:rofl:

[CanuckAmok]

22. She must have the most amazing agent and manager.

I mean, she's completely talentless, and isn't even that good-looking, by Hollywood standards, and yet she's still a household name (without killing anyone).

Amazing

[Richardo]

23. I like pic number three, Alex.

:thumbsup:

[CanuckAmok]

24. She forgot this:

[Richardo]

48. .

:spray:

[robbedvoter]

46. You can have a piece of my mayor (Bloomberg) as big as you like

from whichever part you chose. Take my mayor, please!

[ucmike]

7. that's not nyc.

there's no taxis involved.

[DS1]

8. Did I say city?

[ucmike]

11. doesn't new york end after the boroughs?

is that the LIE?

[DS1]

12. New York ends after the Boroughs?

[ucmike]

13. that's what they teach us in NJ public schools.

the state of ny: brooklyn, queens, manhattan, bronx, staten island.

there are a few smaller districts, Holland, Lincoln, GWB, but they are mostly populated by ex-pat NJ'ers.

[DS1]

16. Strange, I'm a product of NJ public schools

and I managed to dig up some dusty old texts that mentioned places like Albany, and Buffalo, and Niagra :shrug:

[ucmike]

17. liberal media for ya.

maybe those places used to exist. sounds like "junk geography" to me.

probably learned about "evolution" in your fancy schools, as well.

heheh.

i heard that nyc text books show nj as newark airport and the turnpike, and the rest is empty and labeled "here be dragons".

[rug]

27. The LIE doesn't have tolls.

[HEyHEY]

15. And I don't see any shell casings

[sir_captain]

35. You must be thinking of Washington or St. Louis

NYC is the safest large city in the United States by quite a margin.

[HEyHEY]

36. That doesn't say much

[sir_captain]

37. Heh

well, I suppose you have a point. It's all relative.

That said, I'd much rather wander around NYC in the middle of the night than any Canadian city I've been to. ;-)

[HEyHEY]

38. Hey, no argument there... I'd feel safer in NYC than the DTES of Vancouver

Any day!

[DS1]

39. NYC is just getting fun a midnight

:D

[HEyHEY]

40. So is the DTES - if you're a whacko

[DS1]

41. DTES?

[HEyHEY]

42. Downtown Eastside - of Vancouver

A drug and disease infested area of Vancouver, largest open drug market in North America, and the stomping grounds of Serial killer, pardon me - accused serieal killer, Robert Pickton.
It's not a nice place.

[Zuni]

45. it depends where in NYC

but Vancouver is the only city that I have ever watched someone shoot heroin on the street in broad daylight :o

[bertha katzenengel]

14. LOL

:eyes:

[Zomby Woof]

18. Typical Honda driver in the pic

Jealous of the superior Nissan car.

Fuck Hondas. Overrated, overpriced pieces of shit.

[fudge stripe cookays]

25. Judgmental much?

I'm a former Nissan owner who has now owned 2 Civics and loved both.

I adore my un-overrated, un-overpriced non-piece of shit. Thanks.

[Zomby Woof]

26. It's a DS1 joke/flame thread

So I purposely turned up the heat for fun. ;-) Can't say I am disappointed.

Adore away. Doesn't change my opinion of Hondas or their aggressive drivers one iota. I encounter them daily.

And yes, I am judgmental. Proof I have a brain and think for myself.

[DS1]

29. Yes but, a Nissan driver has just attacked the civic drivers

that were minding their own business. I suspect Nissan drivers are the truly aggressive ones, waiting for their moment to strike.

Even Ford owners can see that...

[fudge stripe cookays]

30. The Honda drivers I know...

are pretty mellow.

Down here, it's the Mustangs, Lexi, and big trucks who drive aggressively.

Being judgmental doesn't indicate the size of your brain. Only the size of your ego.

31. my eyes.. my eyes

:eyes:

my mind is being boggled right now... :P

*snort*

[warrens]

21. As a former New Yorker, I know what happened there

Arrogant pricks zoom up in the exact change lane, passing dozens of cars waiting to pay, then force their way in to the front of the line. Sometimes the guy they're cutting off doesn't go for it. This happens.

[rug]

28. Exactly.

And he was probably driving in from Nassau County.

[bridgit]

32. whoopsy...

:rofl:

[SOteric]

33. I don't think we should be looking at this.

It's obviously an intimate moment between the parents of matcom's scooter.

[DS1]

34. *snort*

[qnr]

43. I'm confused. To me, it looks like they /are/ sharing n/t

[In_The_Wind]

44. If I share anymore than I do now ...

I might go broke.

[driver8]

47. Is that the shrub trying to get through the door before Clinton again?

Won't that dumbass ever learn? Let the big dog go through first!!
