Randolph – Rob’s idea isn’t all that different from newspapers writing obits in advance – how do you think all that MJ coverage was put together in a matter of seconds?
Yeah, which was probably what they were aiming at…
Another reason to walk the few extra blocks to the park on 5th and 3rd (other reasons: more shade, they’ve opened up the grass field, and farmer’s market on Sundays).
i found a metrocard with 19 bux on it on the street btw 🙂
which is great cuz i don’t get my monthlies for another few days.
and gemini, yes the trains are so much less crowded. i took the M train this morning instead of the R since it passed and after a few stops, i was the ONLY person in the entire car. it was creepy! i thought maybe something happened and no one told me!
and remember that article about the R being the dirtiest train? i started looking around and i was like wow, it really is the skank train.

Rob, except for the ones going to summer school, a category which thankfully does not include me!
I missed the Friday OT, but my best Michael-related memory is from Kerman, Iran. We were in a restaurant and one of the musicians (the group was playing traditional Persian songs) asked us where we were from. We told him, and the response was instant: “Oh, Amrika! We play for you Michael Jackson!”
So yesterday I took my kids to the playground behind PS 282 between Lincoln and Berkeley. There is a basketball court right next to the playground. There were a bunch of guys playing ball who stopped to smoke a big blunt, and the smoke wafted right into all the kids playing in the sprinklers. Really strong smell. I gave them the stink-eye and all, but any one of those guys could have kicked my ass so there was only so much I could do. I’m all for live and let live when it comes to that stuff, but smoking next to a playgound full of kids? Upwind? That’s just fucking rude.
get off my d*ck randi.

“we should have a celebrity death pool!

that is pretty low, even for you, rob.

“Gonna make a change
For once in my life.”
I heard on TV that the burning MJ suffered in 1984 was the start of his transformation from normal to freakish. Seemed plausible.

I predict more assaults on subway employees since the fares rose $0.25 as of today.
