#1 Apparently oxygen is in short supply in NY, perhaps they should ban that as well.

Watch Nanny Bloomers this morning. He is a charming narcissist who will lie to your face with a smile so long as he has a bit of statistic or factoid.

Enjoy your hell New Yorkers, or at least those of you weak enough to be patrolled for a cafe au lait, cuz you know the tough hoods are exempt. Or going to the concession stand four times during your 150 minute movie, or six times during the yanquis game, especially if you take the kids. What do you suppose the price of a bottle of water will go for?

It stinks.

Governor William J. Le Petomane: [pointing to a member of his cabinet] I didn't get a "harrumph" out of that guy!
Hedley Lamarr: Give the Governor harrumph!
Politician: Harrumph!
Governor William J. Le Petomane: You watch your ass.

#4 Bloomberg approved - Just like Grandmas used to taste.

The year is 2022. The world has grown more crowded each year, and as the population has grown, the means to feed that population have dwindled. We couldn't go hungry; something had to be done. That's where the Soylent Corporation stepped in and saved us all. Forget their Soylent Red and Yellow - their crowning achievement has been Soylent Green. And now we share their wondrous invention with you: Soylent Green Crackers.

#5 Recipe for New York Style Cheesecake:

1/2 sleeve unsalted crackers
3 beets, unpickled
2 cups shredded Arugula
Orange Juice

Prepare and boil the beets in Orange Juice until soft. Mash.

Crumble the crackers into a pie dish. Layer the mashed beets, then top with the shredded arugula. After setting, cut a slice and go watch the Food Network and pretend you are eating what is on the show.
