And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Want!

This hand-made Space Invaders cutting board will add a touch of gamer-nostalgia to any kitchen. The board is made of walnut and hard-maple, put together with FDA approved, water-proof glue, and treated with a mixture of mineral oil and beeswax.

If you're trying to do a left-turn onto the middle of a busy sidewalk, I'd say tourists are not your biggest problem...

Obviously not if I still can't make that left turn!

Trust my rage

I want to!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

For future Stock Exchange tourists:

Take pictures here

Not here

Isn't he beautiful?

Absolutely. And I am not into horses at all. But yes. Gorgeous.

Awesome cutting board! (which reminds me of another article on cookbooks for children.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

yeah the back door has "New York Stock Exchange" in readable writing above the door. that is why they take that picture. My old office building was directly opposite that. On the side of the entrance to that building was a gold address sign that read "14 Wall Street" - all day people would stand in front of the "14" so they were by a readable sign that said "wall street". I hated that location. I lurve midtown.

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

"Buy junk at a street fair, and eat street meat (don't ask)." This is the time you are providing answers! Also, you can read the NY Times at home. Ridiculous to expect people to waste their vacation time with that.

Yes, but we can read the Sunday Times on Saturday.

It's a mythic, transcendant experience...

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

(Note: the "back side" of the stock exchange fronts a pretty narrow sidewalk, and there's a small sign. The "front side" is enormous, columns, the whole nine, facing on a blocked-off street. I truly do not get why people take pictures in the inconvenient spot.)

I walk past the front side almost every day, and walk into plenty of shots there, too. There's not that much room on that corner where you can get the whole building. But I'm sure people are wandering around taking pictures from both.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Yes, but we can read the Sunday Times on Saturday.

So can I, online. Usually the Sunday features are up by noon Saturday, and sometimes Friday.

The funny part is that in all that advice the blogger doesn't ever give the one bit I always give: walk left, stand right. It is something I would like to legislate into a law of physics, granted, but it's also, like, it's a custom that makes sense that people from away might never guess on their own till yelled at.

One of the bus stops I frequent is next to the Chicago Theatre and across from a television news studio where you can watch them film from the sidewalk. I'm probably in everyone's frickin' pictures.
