This is the second list-esque post in three weeks, and again, it had me laughing out loud. Bring on the lists,
my friends. They always bring out the comments.

Here’s an idea: Let’s popularize Hot Kangaroo Pie in that way where when you first start saying it, it’s a joke, and then three weeks later it’s actually part of the vernacular.

Example: You see a group of beautiful girls in a bar and you say, “Damn, bra. There’s some hot kangaroo pie up in this bitch.”

this is sorta related and also sort of offtopic re: “the city’s slept on (and stepped over):

was hanging out at the Las Vegas Lounge a couple of days ago and went outside for a smoke (they only allow smoking once the city’s point man for enforcement goes off-duty at 5 pm(? or thereabouts).

Anyway, while smoking a gentleman noticed my “rankish” appearance and handed me a $5 bill (XMas spirit). Said thanks and went inside to finish my pint and enjoy another one due to my new found wealth. When I took it out of my wallet noticed it was actually a $20.

With the remainder was able to check out JohnnyBrendas for the first time. Upstairs space was closed. Nice bar but no lager on tap. Very surprising though did find the *cheapest* pints ($1.25 or $1.5, don’t remember) on tap so far in this city at a small bar a block or so away named (deleted)

sorry philebrity, that for my next “food critic at large” entree ;-)

Someone needs to start a magazine dedicated the various and far ranging talents of the city’s slept on (and stepped over) various homeless denizens.
More talent and creativity in that totally avant garde vagrant’s little pinkie toe (before it was removed due to gangrene) then the whole loft district* combined.
Imagine: Flash enabled photo shideshow of karaoke night at the soup kitchen.
Imagine: Midnight ghost story telling sessions at the shelter.

*Jayson Musson excluded because he completely opened my eyes as to why black people in general are funny on so many more levels then me.

p.s.- I am one of the guys who winks at the homeless as I pass to let them know I’m one of the “good ones”.
