ok, now i have seen it all
seems like many who has lived in new york has got a cocktail party story that goes something like, "then that morning i was walking down the street, and i saw {---}. It was then that i knew it was time to leave new york." though i'm not ready to pack my bags, i may have my story.
i just walked outside my door in the west village to get a sandwich for lunch, and see i big dude with a zz top style beard sitting on the stoop next door. i do a double take as i catch a closer glimpse of his left ear. he has got a piercing - but not just any decorative earring hanging off. now, we've all seen those large "hole in the ear" piercings that, in my humble opinion, dont exactly look flattering nor particularly "edgy" anymore. as well, we are all guilty of screetching the remote to a halt while surfing past a PBS documentary showing african tribes with rocks hanging from their ears.
this dude had clearly outdone any punk or tribesman i've ever seen - he had a SMALL 6" FLASHLIGHT driven right through the hole in his ear. let me repeat that: he had a SMALL 6" FLASHLIGHT driven right through the hole in his ear. as i strolled by, i had a fleeting thought about how convenient that must be if he is on the job, and under a sink or something, but then i remembered what i was looking at: he had a SMALL 6" FLASHLIGHT driven right through the hole in his ear.

Hahaha. THis is where "truth stranger than fiction" graduates to "wtf". Where the surreal simply becomes ANNOYING.
Yesterday, some lady at a STOP SIGN was fully engaged with her cell phone. Musta been a COLLEGE MINUTE before she realized the peeps were waiting behind her.
