The one with the kid takes all time annoying for me. I really hoped she'd explode.
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Fruit stand! Huge pane of glass being carried by two guys!
We need Fruit Stand - the Movie! Just one long chase scene, with fruit stand after fruit stand being demolished. Plus, of course, many panes of glass being carried by guys. And sometimes the chase would be in an alley, with lots of boxes and piles of trash getting hit.
Every 15 minutes or so, a car would go flying through the air.
Maybe I should get into Machinima, so I could make this movie myself.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
My standards are just impossibly high ever since Ong Bak. In addition to fruit stand demolition, I insist on assault with curry paste.

Or, it could be a buddy revenge film. Two friends, each operates a fruit stand. One guy is days away from retirement....
And the rest writes itself.
edit to make more sense....

That's the one, sumi.
Now I have to go and decide how honest to be with my boss when discussing my 2005 objectives. Do I talk about the disconnect and alienation? Or do I just smile flatly and follow her lead?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I think more non-morning people should have someone to bring them a hot cup of what pleases first thing.
I have one of those.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Question for the NYistas:
My brother's partner just got a much-longed-for promotion (no more horrid network and database support; he's now a fully certified financial planner and investment counselor), and at the beginning of January he and my brother will be moving from Boston to NYC. I got his name in the family Secret Santa draw, and I'd like to get him some new-home/new-city essentials. Any suggestions? Personal items, newspaper and magazine subscriptions, maps and guides, a giant sack of subway tokens, gift certificates to particular groceries or delis or restaurants?
I'll be checking with my brother, too, but since he's never actually lived in NY and all y'all have, I wanted to check with the hivemind first.

Well, tokens are no more.
A nice fat metro card would be handy until he decides if he wants a weekly or monthly pass (and occasionally nice to have even after he starts using one). There are also little metro card holders (sorta like a hollow credit card you can slide the sucker into) and I love mine.
Subway and bus maps are easily obtained. In fact, I'll pick some up for you and pop them in the mail if you'd like so you can make a little packet of them.
A subscription to Time Out New York would certainly get him in the know about any number of forms of NYC entertainment.
A gift card to Zabars wouldn't suck -- it is arguably the new yorkiest of the new yorky markets.
