Denton – agreed. sorry but why does one want to spend $11 on a so-so lunch when you can bring your leftovers from the night before that you presumably you made and save yourself the money – you know?
Biff – entertainment biz?

“cobblehiller- they sold plaster molds so you could cast all kinds or weird stuff for your walls and make homemade gifts to give to ever grateful family and friends :-)”
I cannot place it…Was it on the block with the paint store on the corner?
gemini10, nope…I’m downtown.
“honestly i always think it’s ghetto when i see people bringing in leftovers from dinner for lunch. plus it’s rude cuz it stinks up the microwave and office. no one wants to smell your nasty at home kitchen smells. we work in soho, go eat outside.”
Rob, maybe some people just don’t believe in wasting food. Part of green living and all.

I ran into this site a couple of years ago and it brought back so much memories. We had this big radio in the Kitchen and listened to WABC! Those where the days..””
What, I’m surprised at you. If you listened to WABC in my nabe you got an ass-whippin’! Cuz you were a true Asshat!
The righteous listened to WWRL and Frankie Crocker, which was all Black and all JB all the time!
In between was WMCA, home of the ‘Good Guys’ that included Harry Harrison before he left for WABC. More JB mixed in with the Beatles.
WABC was what the white kids listened to, all Beatles and Monkees along with the least offensive Motown. All in all tho, radio was less segregated back then than now, for sure.
In 1971 I was riding with two African American armed guards to make a bank drop and naturally they were listening to WWRL, when I first heard ‘The Revolution Will not be Televised’. Blew me away.
You didn’t hear that on ABC.
Later they got locked up for pulling a scam with the white night manager and putting the safe combos together to clean it out. Those were the days, What!
Biff – interesting we call our place death star too
hmmmmmmmmmmmm
midtown?
unfor I don’t know anyone on my floor that’s Indian…
NY Post issues apology over cartoon.
The entire article….
Wednesday’s Page Six cartoon – caricaturing Monday’s police shooting of a chimpanzee in Connecticut – has created considerable controversy.
It shows two police officers standing over the chimp’s body: “They’ll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill,” one officer says.
It was meant to mock an ineptly written federal stimulus bill.
Period.
But it has been taken as something else – as a depiction of President Obama, as a thinly veiled expression of racism.
This most certainly was not its intent; to those who were offended by the image, we apologize.
However, there are some in the media and in public life who have had differences with The Post in the past – and they see the incident as an opportunity for payback.
To them, no apology is due.
Sometimes a cartoon is just a cartoon – even as the opportunists seek to make it something else.
gemini10, I’ve heard colleagues, even those who have been in the business for years and presumably have a very high net worth, talk about cutting down on eating out. I’ve seen individuals brown bagging it whom I would never have believed would ever do so. It’s probably helping people to eat healthier. Hmmm, given your login, I’m wondering if you also work here at the Death Star. Perhaps you were the one nuking the lunch yesterday that smelled so good!
