    I read this thread and then I look at my walls to make sure I'm not tripping on acid.

    I just figured it out based on another one of those formulas. If I add a second marshmallow, I can add 100, multply by 3 and subtract 5,280. That leaves it with negative calories, which means it is good for you. So I'll have two.
    Sweet.

    Simple brilliance.

    Well, maybe not so simple. Just brilliance.

    Now I have a few questions about that stoop initiative that works on the alternate side rotation. Do they tow your stoop when you screw up, and if so, how much do they hold it hostage for? I'm also curious about what it's like when you go out to sit on your stoop and you get that panicked feeling of, "Oh shit, my stoop isn't here! Did someone steal it, or was I supposed to move it?" On a side note, I really thought alternate side rules were suspended for 'Jainist Digambaras Day'. I also thought nudity rules were suspended on that day, and boy did that lead to some serious hijinx. Oh, and if you dial 311, will Mike Bloomberg personally answer your call and tell you within 30 seconds where you stoop has been towed to, or do you get routed through every city agency before giving up and heading cross town to take out your frustrations on frightened tourists who can't cross Fifth Avenue because of the Puerto Rican Day parade? And what are the chances that any of those tourists can tell you the cross street for 366 Fifth Avenue without toting around a mainframe computer?

    Oh Ragu, don't you know real New Yorkers only talk to tourists to send them the wrong direction? Why do you think Moddy was told to subtract 158. Everybody <i>knows</i> you need to add 42 if you're facing south.

    If you want to visit me, walk west... just a little farther... You'll know it when you see it. My stoop's permanent, but there's no parking anywhere unless you know how to get a boot off the car.
     
  11. I think I have entered the twilight zone. Now I know why I don't live anywhere near New York.

    Because you can't figure out the cross street for your apartment?
