At long last I have come upon the holy grail, that which has been kept beyond my reach for well over a decade and a half--a copy of the "Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York" by Robert A. Caro. It's the story of the greatest and worst thing ever to happen to New York City since the dutch buying Manhattan Island for 20 bucks--engineer and builder Robert Moses. I should be spitting venom about corruption in a week!

you should pick up gotham after that. rayne o'brian says it's a real good one to keep that corrupt vibe going. i on the other hand will continue to read the paranoid stylings of philip k dick.
Peter Minuet (Who has played Chewbacca in four of the six Star Wars movies) purchased Manhattan from the Carnarsie tribe, they lived in the Canarsie section of Brooklyn, not Manhattan. Pale face paid the equivalent of $827,000 per acre to a bunch of savage Injuns who lived in Brooklyn for something they never owned. Minuet got taken like the white honkey devil bitch he was and the Manhattan tribe got an ass full of Minuets Dutch treat. Meanwhile the Canarsie tribe spent nearly 82 billion (adjusted) on Crazy Horse Malt Liquor and 45's of "Indian Reservation (Cherokee People)"; dying wampumless and insane trying to make a phonograph needle from a buffalo.
Anyway, ever notice the Meadowbrook has overpasses that won't allow busses to travel on them, or that you never saw a Jack Benny episode with Rochester dusted out on 21 Mule Team Boraxo putting his fist through the N27 for not taking him to Pearl Paint on Hempstead Turnpike?
Let's keep the darkies the hell out of Searingtown already!
p.s. what the hell smelled so good in NYC? (My gut sez Waffles, but it always sez Waffles) Were all Armenians visiting relatives overseas?
as i said in a previous post 3k, the terrorists are developing a dirty waffle or perhaps getting ready to attack us with giant robo sized robots made of waffles houses. only godzilla and jet jaguar can save us now. ichiban!!!!!
Do they have waffle house up here? I saw your waffle post after I posted my standard disinformation package. They have waffle houses all down de south, do they serve waffle? Some Indians used waffle as currency and later punch cards for primitive computing machines to simulate a mass detonation of buffalo pudding.
'Let my people go-go' Rob Moses also wanted to build a bridge to CT over my neighborhood but the Anglo Saxophones of the Mayflower and the Thurston Howell "I'll show you how to make a Rob Roy!" Kick-Death squad drove him out of Gatsbyville.
That's why the Seaford/Oyster Bay suddenly ends in Seaford otherwise you drive into a pile of industrial water buckets ala Burt Reynolds and Dom DeLuise.
i saw many a waffle house on walkabout towards arizona. we took the southern route to save wear and tear on the mighty blue ride of the lowe's. we were coming up on the south carolina/georgia border and wanted to sleep. so to guarantee sleep we got weapons grade waffles at 1am and let me tell you, there are some desperate characters in the waffle house at 1 am.
i never knew that aboot the seaford oyster bay. the one i dig on is for every tight turn on the interborough expressway (cypress hill cemetary) is a plot that wouldn't sell to moses. the clearview expressway suddnely ends at hillside avenue because the polish in queens village refused to sell their homes to him. the list goes on and on. i get the feeling that we're spoiling mo's reading with all of this
Ever see me waiting for the N24, that's when it got violent.
apparently the dub is getting his dog eared copy of the power broker on
