What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

I need some cask strength bourbon. Forget about the 40% stuff. I want 60%+.

But can any of the NYC-based Racketeers say anything you like about NYC?

[PretentiousHipster]

Yeah it my fault for starting that ball rolling. Not quite understanding how long that hill was.

Now I know.

You didn't start the fire / It was always burning since the forum's been turning

I think REPO's doing okay. Given his circumstances, a lot of people get on Disability only to use their copious amounts of free time on the internet railing against immigrants or shadowy political forces for their lot in life. Instead, REPO works his ass off at thankless but useful jobs, and uses his meager amount of free time to sometimes post about the dream that keeps him going on an old retrogaming forum. This is aggravating for some; entertaining for others. Either way, it's one of the few things that gets this place going anymore, so I see it as a net positive for the world.

Was unaware that he was on disability. Glad to see that he's still doing some things then. I am a workaholic, but I can only work a few hours a week or else I get "crazy", so I had to learn what limits to set myself with. It sucks cause it means I'll always be below minimum wage, but I gotta face the facts and realize that I'm at a disadvantage.

Yeah — we got the ballsiest pigeons in the world. Almost ran one of those bastards over last Sunday when I was in Manhattan. Wouldn’t move out of the way.

If there was a pigeon equivalent to an illegal cock fight, those city pigeons would destroy every other pigeon.

NYC's feather rats are ballsy, but they're also pretty damn dumb.

He's not on disability. Golgo was indicating that a lot of people in REPOs situation find a way to get on disability and then spend their time watching Fox News.

[PretentiousHipster]

Ah, my bad. Disability here is an odd system (with a higher rejection than America actually), but that's probably getting too political.

[REPO Man]

I actually tried to get disability, but while I have high-functioning autism it doesn't affect my ability to hold down a job.

Also, Note, Gucci and o.pwuaioc, have you been to Little Island or the Bronx and/or Queens Night Markets? Currently watching a video on things to do in NYC this summer from Here Be Barr and thought I'd ask.

Also, I'd rather stick a rusty nail in my urethra than watch Fox News.

[Ack]

We don't deserve Patti Lupone.
