benson – I think you’re under a lot of stress at work at the moment and you may be shooting a bit too easily from the hip! When you say the “worst racial incident” in the history of the city, people are immediately thinking – who ended up dead? In that sense it deosn’t compare. Parsing through the posts it seems to me what you are saying is – that the city’s Response itself was the “worst” for any raical incident, especially considering how the Mayor and the elected officials as well as the public clearly and actively responded to those awful ones mentioned by bxgrl. I think the city’s leadership failure with regard to the Korean grocery incident was telling, but I could never say it was the worst incident when at the same time people lose their lives because of their race.

I just figured out my costume for the office Halloween party! I’m going to take a bunch of used copy paper from the recycling basket, tape it to my clothes and go as “white trash!” HA!!!
LOL. that’s funny. a group of hispanic kids in my high school went on halloween dressed as white trash. (basically just white trash bags on themselves and said they were white trash). white people were the minority in the school. no on batted an eye lash at the time that it was eh, racist and non PC. would that ever fly now? could someone dress up in a black bag and say they were black trash without an onslaught of dramarama? probably not.

Best thing is I won’t have to wear or carry a costume to work, and I can dispose of it easily when done. Thanks, Kens!
THL, with digital migration, they might be able to switch svc on/off remotesly via software-enabled provisioning. if true, you guys cancelling will trigger someone to pull up your profile and notice svc not turned off – ie they might block it immediately post calling into call center
Dishes on balconies look soooooo white trash. My tenants got a dish and I told them to make sure it couldn’t be seen from the street and that it had to be installed on the vertical part of the peripet wall.

Ha ha Dave, I am thinking of going “white trash” and putting up a dish on my fire escape (since I can’t do it on the roof) because I am having serious issues with paying my life away to Cablevision.

LUNCH BELL! Since I’ve had chicken everyday for the last three days, why not…I’m having chicken again 🙂 (NOT kfc though!)
Thanks Snaps and M4L
So if he canceled he might be able to swing getting it for a little while but would probably eventually be blocked?
Bummer.

Going, Kens? ; )
I’ve heard of that happening THL…it’s usually that they forgot to send the shut off signal or someone before you managed to unscramble it.
