wtf :: fruity cheerios

um - maybe i'm missing something - but don't we already have this product? isn't it called froot loops? the only claim to fame for this new product from general mills is that it's made with whole grain. ok ok - so fruity cheerios has less calories (20 less to be exact) and less sugar (9g so says the nutritional information) - but come on - this is a ridiculous attempt to capture the tastes of american kids. maybe the parents should take the initiative and just give them healthier products in general. yeah - statistics on the box makes fruity cheerios out to be healthier - but is it really? buy responsibly.

say something photo :: god hate that

i don't know if god hates it when men sleep together - but i do know that bad grammar really pisses him off. poor guy - so confused. and he couldn't even find himself a big enough piece of cardboard in the garbage to write his message. crazy people - crazy times. just glad the man in the gray t-shirt was giving him a run for his money. the nerve of this foreigner - coming to times square in the heart of the nyc theatre district - hello - gays galore! oh well - just stupidity and hatred. so i snapped the pic because it's definitely a 'say something photo.'

the sign reads: 'no man is to have sexual relations with another man. god hate that.'

say something photo :: john's pizzeria

found written on the wall in the bathroom at john's pizzeria - evidently ads really piss off people in restaurant bathrooms. honestly - there are quite a few in there - but wow - the rage - lol. i just thought it was a funny way to express oneself - hope you do too. people graffiti the damnest things. enjoy!

i'm always on the never-ending search for good dirty chinese food. since i've moved into my new apartment in hell's kitchen - i have to admit - i've been cooking a lot more in my very nice new kitchen. however - the other day - i had a hankering for dirty chinese (a typical meal for me when i lived in brooklyn). i called up mees for some delivery.

since it was a new experience i stuck to the basics - general tso's chicken, steamed vegetable dumplings, hot and sour soup, and sesame wantons. in about 10 minutes - the doorbell rang and there it was - all this food in all it's glory (and cheap too - less than $25 for all that - and it served two of us).

i may have ordered things that weren't their specialty but what i had was pretty good and passable for good dirty chinese food. i was impressed with the sesame wantons which had a slight kick to them.

it'll definitely become one of my hell's kitchen stand-bys for when i don't have the urge to cook. a man is never alone when a dirty chinese delivery man is just a phone call away. um um goodness!

after i ran away from caffe del mare (see my review i wrote on that poop palace for the reason why one should run away) screaming for someone to feed me - i found myself across the street at this fine location. at this point of my morning - i was just dying to eat anything and had a very short amount of time. i ordered the eggs benedict and a bloody mary. the bloody was passable - not the best - not the worst - but packed a punch so it made me happy. the eggs benedict - nothing to write home to mom about but pretty average and edible nonetheless. i was concerned that they were unable to do any substitutions for egg whites or french fries - god help you if you want to go just a little on the healthier side. in all - it was average and not very memorable. the staff was at least present and seemed to care on serving you. doubt i'll ever go back - definitely wouldn't recommend it - but in a pinch - i guess it'll do.

run run run away - run so fast and never look back. this place was so bad i never even made it to the food. picture it - sunday brunch - peak time for guests - maybe 45 tables in the place - 10 of which are occupied - 20 of which are piled high with dirty dishes - of the 10 tables occupied - only 2 have food on the table. you look to the back - every order just sitting on the bar begging to be taken to their rightful place. hungry sad patrons patiently wait for what - who knows - no one was working! i think the entire staff up and left in the middle of their brunch shift and just said the hell with everyone else. i counted exactly 3 employees in the place. before i had wasted too much more time - i high tailed it out of there for somewhere more promising.

you know - i'm not one for diners - this is kinda what this place is - but different. it's not a typical new york diner - something a little more personable with this place. i had a bison burger with onion rings. um um - it hit the spot. it's definitely a place i'll revisit.

say something photo :: homeosexual

my friend jeannine alerted me to this photograph - it made me laugh. it is such a shame that the christians don't know how to spell. who's the moron now - huh? stop attacking the homos and get an education! just what is a 'homeosexual' anyway?

wacky video :: leave britney alone!

my goodness - this poor poor 'girl' has way to much time on his hands. and doesn't he remind anyone of someone - humm - cracked-out britney herself perhaps? you be the judge when you watch this video found on youtube.

west virginia quarters

hang on to any of the new west virginia quarters, if you have them. they may be worth much more than 25 cents. the u.s. mint announced today that it is recalling all of the west virginia quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters from each state. this action is being taken after numerous reports that the new quarters will not work in parking meters, tollbooths, vending machines, pay phones, or any other coin operated device. the problem lies in the unique design of the west virginia quarter, which was designed by a team of west virginians. apparently the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming the machines.
