New York is weird.

I feel like that is stating the obvious, though.

Nowhere else on the planet does anyone seem to use the word bodega.. And if you don't use the word bodega here and say something like.. convenience store, nobody seems to know what the hell you're talking about.

I also see signs in restaurants saying "Picture menus are available, please ask". Now what, prey tell, is a picture menu? Well for those of you who don't know, picture menus have been created for people who are unable to read, so they feature pictures of items like whoppers, mcnuggets.. etc. etc.

Does anyone else see the irony in having to be able to read a sign that says we have picture menus, in order to ask for one, or to know that they are available? Anyone? Yeah. I don't get it.

So King from Gorgoroth emailed my boss the other day to say he liked his stuff. I wasn't ever going to ever name drop on this but, I was far too excited not to share it with the 1 person who actually reads this thing. My boss on the other hand, seemed unmoved.
