They were chatty to me. I felt betrayed.
But they gave you chopped liver and you got over it.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
(And in my personal subway rulebook, it ain't an open container if it's got a lid. If someone tried to get on with a mug of coffee, I might have a problem with it.)
I'm fairly sure I've ranted this before, but this is in line with what pissed me off SO MUCH about the MTA banning beverages. I saw a board member on NY1 outraged about the idea of people getting on the train in the morning and spilling on people, which is why he voted for the ban...but what fool gets on a train with something that's going to spill all over
himself?*
Not that it doesn't happen, but I've never seen anyone spilled on in the train. Christ. Presumably this board member was not appointed because of his vast commuting subway experience.
*The answer is, some fool who is unaware of the ban, anyway. Like those two girls I saw the other day who decided to stay upright on the train by hanging on
to each other,
rather than a
fixed object,
thus meaning they fell over onto Bob when the train left the station. Those are the people that bring open containers into the train.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So I'm on caviarteria.com looking at prices for NYE, and everything is currently listed as "Market Price / Please Call." Including the silk ties and mother-of-pearl spoons, so I'm thinking it's a website glitch rather than a worldwide caviar shortage.
And Russ & Daughters only sells caviar online in packages that include overpriced blini and creme fraiche. Hmph!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
But they gave you chopped liver and you got over it.You gave me chopped liver and I got over it. They just kept talking, talking, talking. Why did they want to talk to me?

I'd forgive them for the talking if they'd given me caviar.
Because you're so pwetty?Freaks. Maybe they sensed the Californian in me. And mistakenly thought I liked people. I don't like people.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm sure it was Peter Fucking Kalikow, and you know that guy has never been on the subway in his life, except for the one time they were unveiling the new cars or some shit.
In other New York news, I just had a ridiculously overpriced birthday drink at the Campbell Apartment at Grand Central, and I can confirm that it is Not Worth It.
