The Food Trucks of New York – Part 7

Oh Lord, how many food trucks can there possibly be?  Will this guy ever write about something that is not about food or trucks (or pants)?  Yes, I hear you people, but we are so close!  The home stretch!  As of this writing, I have only three trucks left to find on my list!  Hooray!  […]

More Baby Names for the Evil or Stupid

A short time ago I wrote a post in which I gave suggestions to evil or stupid people in the area of baby names.  Dear, dear readers, I regret to inform you that I have given you only half of the truth.  It has come to my attention that there are several categories of names […]

Home on the Strange

After being in New York for over five weeks, I finally went home on Halloween.  The only trouble was, I had never been there before.  While I was away, my family had moved from Baltimore City to South Hero, Vermont, on the Lake Champlain Islands to stay with my wife’s sister.  They had just bought […]

Electile Dysfunction

Now, just to be clear, I don’t think that a two party system is the worst thing in the world, but when both of those parties are full of extremist weirdos, well that’s pretty bad.  Why is that bad?  Well, do you really want to be caught in the middle of a tug of war […]

Fried Taco Trough

I’m going to have to take a break from the food trucks as I am back in Vermont visiting my family.  Yay!  I tried to find a few more before I left New York, but I was unsuccessful.  First I traveled way up the 1 line to Washington Heights looking for a truck, which I […]

Mick(y) or Treat

As they closed the doors of my plane on the tarmac at JFK, the pilot announced to all of us that it was currently snowing in Burlington.  A collective groan arose from the passengers and I instantly knew what kind of Halloween I was in for: a cold one.  I cannot describe in words the […]

Sonnet Parables

Well, it had to happen.  After Limerick Parables and Haiku Parables, it was either this, or Epic Verse Parables, and I don’t have that kind of time. 1) A man set out upon a journey long    Unknowingly he walked into a trap.    By bandits he was quickly set upon    And out of him, they quickly […]

The Food Trucks of New York – Part 6

Ok, I need to stop eating at all these food trucks.  I haven’t had a vegetable in weeks.  I think I am slowly congealing from the inside out.  But no!  I must continue on!  There are trucks out there serving food, and it is my mission to purchase and consume that food!  Only 6 left […]

Evicted

First of all, let me just say that I am eternally grateful to Simone’s Uncle Kevin for letting me stay with him, free of charge, for 2 months.  The man even gives me quarters for my laundry, it’s incredible!  So when I was temporarily evicted last night, it was with a happy heart.  Uncle Kevin’s […]

Subway Surfing

Big Cities are very boring places.  There is never anything going on, nowhere to go, and nothing to do.  Luckily, I have some tips for entertaining yourself in the vast metropolitan wasteland.  Today’s fun activity: Subway Surfing.  If you are in D.C. this is called Metro Surfing, and if you are in Boston it is […]
