Interesting insight into how lefties are cultivated. Moms is gettin the job done...

another sampling:

Grandma to crying 5-year-old: Get a job if you want it that badly! Get a damn job! If you were in Russia, you'd be working. If you were in China, you'd be out working in the rice paddies. Goddamn. I'm gonna put you in a sweatshop. This is Grandma's weekend to find a man. Gonna go up to the Bronx. Gonna hit the BX and find a BK.

Classics - absolute classics. I adore NY humor, aka NY conversations, and the accent... I think New Yorkers have the best accent in the land. Almost makes me wish I lived there

Wow some of this reminded me of clipette's play!

Humor is good. Accents are interesting. Child abuse is neither.

No argument there, Godfrey Daniel... just the clip reminded me of my past trips to New York and how fond I was of those (partially because my favorite relative lives there, but also because of the culture of the city) and how much I miss it.

Understood. I just wanted to note that my purpose in clipping these isn't humor.

I apologize... didn't mean to make a light of a very serious topic... (too bad I can't delete my comments )

no, please, don't go all squishy on me, [b]Mr Sage

did miss something re: the seriousness of this post?

have you had your coffee today, 5? I'm detecting a trend here...

I saw some non-sequiter about lefties somewhere up there...and to answer your question...no I've not had coffee today.

I have a long bike ride planned for later and wanted to keep myself free of caffeine as a prep.

No, nothing squishy... just major opponent of child abuse here and so didn't mean to diminish that part of it, that's all. Some things shouldn't be joked about, this is one of them.

An ice cream truck is going up the street.

Little girl in wagon: Daddy, that truck song is annoying.
Hipster dad: Yes, the commodification of your desires is annoying, isn't it?

Cash register guy: Yo man, how you doing? I saw your daughter walk past here yesterday. She was with some new dude.

Bagel customer: Really?

Cash register guy: Yeah, I never saw her with this guy before.

Bagel customer: Yeah, I don't really keep track of her.

Cash register guy: Yeah man, she's always with a different guy. I never see her with the same guy twice. You know, one day I saw her two times in an afternoon, and she was hangin' all over a different guy each time. Two in the same day, you know?

Bagel customer: I don't control what she does.
