Juicy Jeremy Lin (an homage)

Super Lintendo, an Asian on the Knicks
When Melo got hurt, man I couldn’t picture this
20-plus points, while sleepin' on a sofa
Few more games, we be callin' him Jehovah
Post front page, been there done that
No need to worry, unless your name be STAT
And D'Antoni can stop scrounging
Celebrating every day, thanks to his foundling
Thinking back to eight and fifteen
Now thinking playoffs, know what i mean?

Sometimes it's better not to ask

The Scene: A small roadside cafe an hour outside of Reykjavik.

The Players: Two American tourists and a waitress.

Waitress: So, I have to ask, where are you guys from?
Me: New York City, you ever been?
Waitress: Of course, I'm actually from Seattle.
(She goes to get the check and the guys, surprised to find out she's American, consider whether or not to press the issue. She comes back.)
Me: Seattle, really? What brought you out to this neck of the woods? How long have you been here?
Waitress: Well, it's funny, I've actually been here for three years. My friend had a job for me and I came over. Three months turned into six, six into nine, and here I am today.
(She leaves.)
Me (to Todd): Well that cured lamb was pretty delicious...

Good Morning New York: A Story in Four Acts

Act 1:
[I step onto a crowded 6 train at Union Square and immediately notice a foul odor.]

Act 2:
[I look around and see polite people, including some cute French 20-something tourists, cover their noses in disgust.]

Act 3:
Only honest man left in America (yelling): "It smells like ass in here!"

Act 4:
[Everyone with a sense of smell silently switches cars at 23rd street, including my French tourist "friends".]

This is why we can't have nice things

Listening to Econtalk on the way to work today, another Jew was angry about the economy and making some pretty valid points when all of a sudden I just couldn't take it anymore. I put on "For No One" and all my cares just melted away.

King Cong

To the beat of "King Kong":

[Intro]
King Cong in the van,
He'll tell you how this began.

[Congdon]
See you see life, can't see the seams
Way you see life, ain't what it seems
Let's take the double B
Former Mexicali
Let me tell you what people told me
Your guac's too soft-y
Your goal's too loft-y
Chicken's too shredded
Salsa taste like gas unleaded
But I had to stay true
To the Fresh-Mex I knew
Get a 2-star YDN review
So I opened the cantina
Mastered the quesadilla
Every time a kid left, I always said "See ya"
Students came for the food
Stayed for C-N-N Headline News
Left Bulldog with slightly more liberal views
Success led to fame
Made Viva's look lame
B squared so scorchin'
I considered larger portions
Decided against it
Didn't think I'd gain yet
So I stuck with authenticity
Then got struck by duplicity
