jack: london is so full of history and every street looks dickensonian. i'm amazed that they gave away such a beautiful and historical bridge. it's like putting the brooklyn bridge in las vegas. oh, oh, did i say that.

Elicar: I'll give you some of my shoes Jack, but too bad, they won't fit! If you could squeeze in to a 7 1/2 and balance on stillettos just like your girfriend who got lost...and perhaps shave your legs too, and of course wear a mini skirt (one does not look good...

in response to Newark Penn to Manhattan\'s WTC Via PATH

jack: do you remember the old garden on 48th st. and 8th ave. the fights outside were better that the fights inside. i used to eat at the old french hospital up the street on 48th. you could get a great meal for $1.25. and bickfords on...

in response to For Jack:

EvilGentleman: jack, you randy old fart, may you live forever! LMAO!! Your naively innocent version of your perspective (or your tongue-in-cheek imitation thereof) reminds me so much of the storyline of the Kinks' song Lola.

in response to Bimbo Daycare

jack: i went out with a girl who graduated from bimbo university. she majored in mini skirts. she took classes on like how to wear spikes while working as a crossing guard. i met her on 8th ave and 42nd street. i think she was lost because...

Peter: all you do is tie the laces together like in the photo... hold a shoe in each hand, and toss them straight up (assuming youre standing right under the objective, of course) with a granny-shot-esque fling. its not hard :) if youre licky, theyll wrap around the objective a few times, which...

EKS (in Cali): May SANE rest in peace. A true legend of NYC culture in the 80's. A debt is owed him by those of us that snuck out of the house at 2:00 a.m. on a schoolnight, hopped on a train to an unfamiliar neighborhood in a different borough,found a visible-but-tough-to climb-to...

Peter: witnessed? every single pair of shoes ive ever worn out or ruined since living in nyc (which has been quite a number) has ended up atop a streetlamp, powerline or some other such thing... you should try it sometime!

in response to Sneakers on 34th Street (forever)

Peter: the provenance of the spaghettibot's demise and subsequent disposal by facilities management: ...with so much paperwork necessary to simply discard an obsolete, disused bot, its no wonder this guy feels censured by all the red-tape:

in response to robot building

elaine: aha! the plot thickens!

in response to For Jack:

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: You know, I knew that there was another shoe post somewhere, I was just in a rush to upload them. Has anyone ever witnessed a shoe hanging? Maybe the baby pigeons do it.

Hobart: Bravo-- What a nice miniature travelogue!

Peter: 44. the guy i see on my train almost every morning, who habitually carries on arguments with imaginary voices via his mobile... despite the fact that there is absolutely no connectivity in the subway tunnel.

in response to Things I Hate About... Public Transit

EvilGentleman: Good grief... well, I started this, so I guess it is up to me to fix it. Jack has a valid point, and also missed the one just prior to his last post. By my reckoning, there have been 43 gripes listed thus far that are actually related to public...

kc: I thought elaine meant cows, but then I went back to clowns. Oy. jack, that's a hell of a story. the hills were numbered, I guess? All the hills in the country on some giant map or just in the neighborhood? Don't know my military strategy too well.
