It really is the end of days. It has to be.

Everything we see and hear these days makes no sense at all. It's gotta be the end of the world... 
Nothing else can explain the crazy shit people are saying and doing.

What happened to the Alexander's mural?

For decades, a 200-foot-long mural made of enameled steel served as a landmark for drivers at the intersection of routes 4 and 17 in Paramus. Some adored its colossal smears of red and blue. Others called it an eyesore. Either way, starting in the 1960s, the 250-ton marvel of postwar expressionism from Polish artist Stefan Knapp stood as a bold splash of color on the facade of Alexander's department store. But after the retail giant went out of business in the early 1990s, the mural came down, too.For decades the mural was a striking, if divisive, addition to the landscape. But in the early 1990s, the Alexander's franchise declared bankruptcy and was taken over in 1995 by Vornado Realty Trust. Three years later, before the shuttered store was demolished, the mural was taken down to be preserved.

In 2015, panels from the mural were put on display for the first time in 17 years at the the Art Factory, an artists’ studio space at an old textile mill on Spruce Street in Paterson. A local congressman came to pay homage to the famous work. So did the granddaughter of the owner of Alexander’s, along with those who treasured memories of Knapp’s work -- what the artist called a representation of his view from above as a pilot for England’s Royal Air Force in World War II.

  3. Where did you dig up the Christopher Walken classic? Outstanding?
    .
    It's bad enough that parents are forced to monitor their kids social media activities and it seems now they are going to have to pay attention to what comics they read or watch
