As a kid growing up in upper west side/harlem I used to get mugged all the time.
About a month ago, I was riding my bike on Kent Ave when two preppy looking, sissy white guys, also on bikes stopped me and said “What are you looking at? You gave us a dirty look”.
I told them to fuck off. They started to boast how they were going to kick my ass and steal my bike. I called them douche bags and said if they were going to do anything they would have done it already.
Finally, I just rode off.

DIBS gives money to young gangstas in his neighbourhood…even when he isn’t getting mugged.
I refer to them as “thugs,” which is a particular look that I like. Alas, I have not been able to get more than one at a time.

sofa table means end table or coffee table?
(one of those is real white trash)
If you actually knew anything, you’d know that a “sofa table” is a table BEHIND the sofa that’s as high as the back of the sofa…oftentimes a drop-leaf.

I didn’t live near clint/wash —was just visiting and going home.
“Oh, and I put the nutcrackers out on the sofa table.”
[Note to Self: Never eat food off of dave’s sofa table.]
I’ve only had things stolen from inside my apartment; typically after a night of drinking and bad decisions as to whom to go home with!!!! My grandfather’s monogrammed gold cufflinks were the only things that ever mattered.

Biff, m4l, I was just going to suggest you take your respective kids to the Citigroup holiday train show, but when I Googled for the link, I see that, after 21 years, Citi canceled sponsorship of the show after Christmas 2008 to save money. What a shame.

Here’s what the show used to be like:

New York Botanical Garden has a great holiday train show, though, and Bronx Zoo has a great outdoor light display, so you could do both of those one day.
Hey Dave, I live in Bed-Stuy too!
