  1. “we need a driver who wont hesitant to run over a pack of cyclists if needed.”
    DAMN right!!
    The other day I was walking and a car came out of a parking lot without stopping and brushed my arm. I banged on the rear of the car with my fist so hard. he stops and gets out of the car yelling at me. I yelled back.
    “Learn to drive asshole. In NY we stop for people. Go back to Jersey (car had NJ plates), where they don’t know how to drive. Get off the road you jackass.”
    I was in such a pissy mood before it happened that I had so much rage in me I could have probably flung him across his car.
    Cyclists beware!

    Biff, the Vietnam thing was clearly a “Top Talent” invasion campaign. look at how many GI’s got hooked up.

    Yes, there was certainly that as well. Remember, this was during the time of women’s lib. Who wanted those women when you could have a nice, smooth, submissive Vietnamese girl.

  4. I can’t post much more anymore. I’m busy preparing a “Top 100 Fedders in Southern Brooklyn” list for the tour on Saturday.

    Come to think of it, I better bring a CPR kit for when I have to drive Montrose through Dyker Heights.

  5. I always get in trouble when speaking for others, but I can unequivicably say that bxgrl does not believe that the US leadership is the same as Mao or Stalin. What she is trying to say is the same thing I said, that the dead are hardly concerned with who killed them, they are still dead.

    We as a nation should do everything possible to prevent ourselves from becoming like Mao or Stalin, where human life becomes irrelevant or mere collateral damage. While that seems like a stretch that we could not possibly make, because we Americans are better than that, it becomes easier and easier as we becomed inured to the sight of dead people who mean nothing to us. I look at people who say the dead of Katrina brought it on themselves, were a bunch of useless welfare recipients, or criminals, and how the flood cleared New Orleans of the riff-raff. Or read about people who got tired of seeing the dead in Haiti after the earthquake, or feel nothing about the thousands of dead in Iraq and Afghanistan, or the Sudan. It’s a slippery slope, when we can easily ignore the dead.

    Jessi, what’s your theory on the reasons for the US being in Vietnam?

    We hadn’t been in a conflict since Korea and needed to test new weapons. We had good stuff like napalm and agent orange.

    Once the CIA killed Kennedy, we were good to go.

    What other reasons were there?? Domino Theaoty??? We were running short on Spring Rolls????
