It's Friday and the weather's
miserable. Skip work. Fuck school.
Stay home and day drink...
If you have never eaten in a diner similar to this one from my old neighborhood, you have not lived a complete, worthwhile life. Might as well just shoot yourself now and get it over with.

He was our 'Mr. Wilson' - a grumpy old fuck who's wife died really young so he lived his whole life just being a grumpy old single asshole with zero friends and no family that I ever knew of. No one ever visited the guy, either - I think the mail man was the only person who actually talked to the guy.
You cannot imagine how many times we egged his house, TP'ed his tree and sugared his gas tank.
Miserable fuck died alone in his house and the only way they knew he was dead was because you could smell it outside the house like three weeks later. Yikes.

This may well be the number one security concern in the country these days. The hackers will always be ahead of the security guys, because they cause the problems that the other guys have to solve.

This is the tree in Rockefeller Center at 4:00pm yesterday afternoon. Normally, there would be thousands and thousands of people shoulder-to-shoulder there at this time of year. What deBlazio and Cuomo have done to NYC should be a capital crime.

Could you imagine 'Gilligan's Island' without
Bob Denver? It almost happened.
An ensemble cast with as much chemistry as the one of Gilligan's Island does not come along every day, so it's hard to imagine what the show would have looked like with different actors. Before the show started, creator Sherwood Schwartz approached a number of famous actors to play fan favorites like Gilligan and Ginger. Not only that, but a lot of other actors wanted in on what was going to be one of the hottest shows of the 1960s.
After a load of casting changes, Schwartz ended up with the castaways we know and love today. We're glad things turned out like they did, but we can't help but wonder what the show would have looked like with these eight actors.

Going out into the snow? These are good sweat socks

A little history lesson:
Going way back to the '80s when I had the Ad Agency (McGovern/Jackson) in New Jersey and New York, Kenilworth Systems (now IGT, the largest gaming and lottery management company in the world) was a substantial client of ours. They had developed the very first 'Player Card' reader systems for slot players.
This was one of the trade publication ads we did for them for their 'Lott-o-Gold' magnetic card reader system. That's my secretary at the time Evie (great gal), me and my Grandmother Minny, and yes, I did dress like that every day. Back then.
