  1. Just back from downtown Brooklyn, where I never go. Friends from out of town are around and I went to Metro Teck TKTS to buy Broadway tickets.

    So I’m in line at 10:55, TKTS opens at eleven, about 40 people waiting. And waiting. 11 rolls around, then 11:10, 11:15 and the counter’s still closed and it’s hot and sticky and everyone is irritable and starting to whine: WTF??

    Then: flashbulbs popping. I spot a gray haired garden gnome–I mean, Marty Markowitz–standing in a ring of point and shoot papparazzi.

    WTF??

    “I’m just here to let everybody know about the TKTS outlet in Brooklyn! We need more Brooklynites to come out and support our TKTS booth,” he babbles.

    Then I realize: the window’s not open because they were waiting for Marty to show for his photo op. And Marty was late.

    Jerk.

  2. “Reading comments of last hour or so kinda makes me think there is some truth to that.”

    you don’t wanna KNOW what can be done with a jar of peanut butter and some duct tape
