A Few Sights and Sounds from NYC on a Saturday Night

On the subway tonight, upon being told that she might not want to sit down because the air conditioning had left a puddle on the seat, the woman next to me said, "I don't give a rat's ass. It's that f^%$ing hot out." ... T-shirt sightings: one (1) "Hooray for Rabies" and two (2) "Don't Tase Me Bro"(s)... From the Department of "Look at Me! I'm a Tourist": spotted walking down Eighth Avenue, a slightly overweight Mom and Dad with matching fanny packs carrying shopping bags from the Hersey's Store and American Girl Place with pasty child tagging along behind ... one homeless guy on West 3rd street announcing to no one in particular: "I've gotta give up the beer and the cigarettes!" No argument here.
