Poor people mostly with a sprinkling of crazies and felons. I've walked by late at night and see people "in transit" just outside the door grabbing a cigarette. They seem afraid to venture any deeper into the city.
Take care.
Have a good one.
Hey, I have always found mannequins creepy. You ever see the disembodied heads used for wigs? Not the pain styrofoam one (I can handle that), but the ones painted to look human?
Creepy.
As far as full mannequins go, I find the ones painted to look human creepy, but the ones with blank featureless faces (with only a hint of a mouth and nose) really disconcerting at times.
They just look strange to me! I may be a nyc hitman, but I'm delicate in my own ways! :-)
PS - the wrists is good, so is the adams apple. The 5:00 shadow is traditionally the dead giveaway!
If I have two big guys walking towards me in a threatening manner, I'm probably not thinking about politics.
Port Authority is the worst. Just the lowest of the low.
When it's not creeping me out, I feel strangely at home there, though! :-)
Now that's the kinda story I love to hear!
You know, they put up a Jackie Gleason statue outside the Port Authority. Life sized, wearing a bus driver's uniform and carrying a lunch bucket.
It takes a bit of getting used to. It's not like Grand Central where you get most of the upstate people who cummute and an occasional homeless person and the whole thing is pretty well maintained and clean (thanks in part to Jackie O. who gave tons of money before her death to the renovation of Grand Central).
The upper level of Port Authority is not too bad they have quite a few stores and its fixed up. But its the lower levels where the buses are that creeps me out. There it's pretty run down and the slime seems to ooze out of the woodwork there.
cummute=commute
A lot of it is AC traffic. Subway traffic. And people just wanting to get in from the outside.
Yes I was aware and I very much approve!
In fact, I started some letter writing campaigns on the internet to get a companion statue of Art Carney/Ed Norton in from of the Dept of Sanitation building, and also a statue of the Three Stooges (Moe, Jerry, & Shemp Howard, and Larry Fine) in Brooklyn.
I thought it would be cool to have a statue of four men as a monumeent to the Three Stooges in the Howard hometown! :-)
Neither petition went anywhere. When my ship comes in I will just buy those statues and donate them to the city! Haha! That's the way!
What pol in their right mind would go to a Stooges unveiling?
Rumor is that Tony Blair will be available in 2008.
I like Gulianni (sp?) too. The problem is, you are forgetting about the South. Abortion is one thing. Pro gay and Gun Control will not win the Southern states. That's why all the liberals that have won the presidency have been from the south. They will hold their nose and vote for a home boy. No way a Yankee wins without being truly conservative on social issues ie Bush. Reagan won over a southerner because the southerner had wrecked the economy and made us look like wimps in front of the world (that was the perception anyway). Next president will be either very socially conservative northerner or moderate southerner. That's just the way the south (me included)thinks. I guess too many people have moved down here and diluted northern voting power?
I guess that's why my campaign never went anywhere! Oh well! :-)
You mean after the Constitutional amendment. Tony vs. Arnie sounds like a maaavalous match.
Cuuute but unresponsive. Now why don't you tell who has a Personality Cult like those of Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Ho, Great Leader when you tire of attempting wit? And what the characteristics of the Cult are?
We shouldn't give Hillary and the left-wing media what they want...
a RINO eunich.
We agree we don't like Hillary. That is all for now, justshutupbendoverandtakearinopresidency. :)
Yeah. Maybe he can handle a firearm or two, dress up in camo, maybe shoot a round or two of skeet or trap, ala John F'ing Kerry.
A few photo ops ain't going to change the facts, and all will see him as a fraud, just like we saw Kerry.
It AMAZES me that some voters would be willing to vote for someone who is merely telling them what they want to hear in order to get elected, while their public record shows something very different.
If gun control is even ON RINO-Rudy's "to do list", he shouldn't be President.
