I love Mango's. Sewage treatment is a noble profession. There's nothing at all wrong with working with them. Let's see you live without them.

I love mangos too. Heruka, I notice that stinky steam comes out of the sewer grates in the street here in Times Squ. What the hell is that.
(Wed Mar 27, 2002 - 10:02:51 am)
Heruka:
stinky steam.
(Wed Mar 27, 2002 - 10:03:24 am)
Heruka:
that steam provides a place for the homeless to sleep in the wintertime. it does an invaluable service.

bela:
Oh, ok.
(Wed Mar 27, 2002 - 10:05:21 am)
Heruka:
don't they sleep on them in the wintertime in NY?

Rudy and his goose stepping police got rid of them people.

Not the subway grates, those are disgustint too, I'm talking about the grates in the street under the sidewalk curb.

That's stinky water run off on its way to the East River. It's hot because of the volcanic vents.

Mrs Dr GB:
Oh my days. I e-mailed a lame-arsed women's magazine to say "I reckon I can churn out some of that tat that you pay people to write. That crappy "coffee-break-fiction" shite. What are the guidelines for submitting this pile of crap" or something along those lines. I figure I can make some money by writing rubbish. Anyway, they replied with a whole set of guidelines, including this total gem:

Mrs Dr GB:
We do not want stories about the lottery; dating agencies; fortune tellers; plans to murder a spouse, or doing so; mystery men or women who turn out to be twin brothers or sisters; or heroes or heroines who turn out to be dogs or cats. We've seen - and printed - them all before!

Yeah, its such bullshit. Times Square is always clean and every trash can on every corner has a bright purple liner in it for the fucking tourists. You go to the east village and the cans are overflowing with garbage.
(Wed Mar 27, 2002 - 10:09:33 am)
Heruka:
Those woul be reain runoff, different from sewers. Good for Rudy. People have a right to walk down the street without being bothered by some homeless guy.

Heruka:
I would think that those "fucking tourists" are a HUGE part of the economy in NYC. I would be interested to see the numbers and percentages, but I'm a bit too lazy to look it up.
(Wed Mar 27, 2002 - 10:13:49 am)
Mrs Dr GB:
I think everyone should stay at home. Tourists are universally despised.
(Wed Mar 27, 2002 - 10:16:00 am)
Heruka:
But their money isn't. And that's the point. I heard on tv recently that mostl;y American tourists provide %7 of the total economy in England. That's a huge chunk of change.

Heruka:
Look what happened after 9/11 to NYC. Tourist stayed away in droves, and NY felt the pain. For fucks sake, they've got Woody Allen begging on the Oscars for people to visit. No-one likes them, but without them, there's a lot of people who would on the dole.
(Wed Mar 27, 2002 - 10:19:23 am)
bela:
Yeah well I still hate them standing in the middle of the sidewalk, staring up at MTV or big fat families with their stupid kids ambling down the middle of the sidewalk, taking up the whole frigging thing. I hate them.
(Wed Mar 27, 2002 - 10:20:45 am)
Chewing Wax:
I like to do all them touristy things when I'm in NYC. I wait outside MTV for Martha Quinn's autograph. Then it's off to the Russian Tea Room for a quick snack, up to the Statue of Liberty, back to the Empire State Building, snap a picture of Trump Tower and finally Dinner at Charlie Moms.

This year I think I'm going to try to go to a taping of The Daily Show.
(Wed Mar 27, 2002 - 10:24:59 am)
Heruka:
I take it by your post that you'll never leave NYC again? I mean, considering you hate then, think of how someone must feel when you go visit soemwhere else. Especially Europe. I mena, I would hate to see you practicing the same behaviour that you hate so much.
(Wed Mar 27, 2002 - 10:25:30 am)
bela:
Yeah, no one wanted to come to NYC because they were afraid of being blown up like my friend Evon thinks is going to happen. Yeah, but there was a void that was filled by those who didn't want to come by the braver tourists who came to see the "Ground Zero". I've just found out one of my favorite stores recently opened down there on Chambers street. Whahoo.

I'm totally cool man, I blend.

Chewing Wax:
She does. In Amersterdam you'd think she was any old gypsy girl in from the country side for some bourbon and grapes. I had an idea for a story. About a woman who has a baby, and then she has its invisible evil twin. And the invisible evil twin causes all sorts of trouble. As you can imagine.

Heruka:
We'll be in NYC late next month.
(Wed Mar 27, 2002 - 10:29:52 am)
Chewing Wax:
Me too. I'll be there April 27th and 28th.
(Wed Mar 27, 2002 - 10:30:22 am)
Heruka:
so when you go to erope, you speak every language? that's a lot of languages. or do you expect them to speak english? you're just as cheesy as the next person.
(Wed Mar 27, 2002 - 10:31:36 am)
Chewing Wax:
They all speak English. There's nothing wrong with expecting them to speak English.
(Wed Mar 27, 2002 - 10:32:07 am)
Heruka:
April 23rd to the25th. Gosh I hope I fit in.
(Wed Mar 27, 2002 - 10:32:56 am)
Heruka:
they only speak english cause they know they'll have to pander to some cheesy american tourist.
(Wed Mar 27, 2002 - 10:33:42 am)
Chewing Wax:
Here a tip. Bring your camera and wear it around your neck. One of them fly fishing caps with the big long transparent plastic green bill is also indespensible.
(Wed Mar 27, 2002 - 10:34:21 am)
bela:
I get around dude. In Amsterdam, everyone speaks English. See thats the thing about New York, you always fit.
(Wed Mar 27, 2002 - 10:34:39 am)
Heruka:
the point is, you're the same thing you "hate". I'm sorry you're so narrowmnded you can't see that. Me, Iknow I'm cheesy. Most of the world doesn't live like I do or on my terms, and I don't expect them to. But neither do I hate people for being them.
