I love this!
A blogger friend put me on to that site a few months ago.
Do you read that site a lot, red?
Try this one
I read it pretty much every day. And I actually linked to that piece in September! Amazing.
He’s one of the best writers on the web, in my opinion. He’s made me WEEP!!
Great stuff.
I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again:
how come all of the random-humanity moments that happen to me are of the scary-crazy kind, instead of the endearing-crazy kind?
ricki – hahahaha
In NYC terms – and from reading Joe’s site – I often wonder why all the endearing moments seem to happen on the 6 train – which I never take. I’m like: why doesn’t stuff like this ever happen on the F or the A?? What the heck is going on on that 6 train??
That’s what I was thinking, ricki. When I have my going-to-NYC dream, it always has a subway experience similar to Joe’s. But knowing MY luck, the reality will probably be more in line with Curly’s toe-sucker dude.
And someone will pee on my shoe.
Is that the 6 Local? I haven’t been to the city since ’88. I would stay in Brooklyn Heights with a friend, walk to Borough Hall, and take the 4 express and the 6 local (if I remember right) to get around Manhattan.
And listen at me, talking like I know what I’m talking about…. ;-)
The 6 runs up and down the east side of New York. It goes all the way down to Wall Street. And yes – tis a local!
The 6 feels futuristic (compared to other trains, I mean) – it’s scarily clean – and there’s a really pleasant recording of a soothing slightly inhuman female voice telling you what stop is coming up. There are no garbled conductor voices SHOUTING at you on the 6 train like there are on other trains!
