i go straight for the ads. really, i do.
I mysteriously received this link in my e-mail today. (ok, so not so mysteriously, considering my earlier rant about Williamsburg). Anyway, I link specifically to Page 1 of the site, which is a Time Out New York Parody (Time Out is this horribly pretentious weekly magazine for rich, white, twenty-something Manhattanites and presumably Londoners, for the London version. A couple months ago they had a cover story on why people in Manhattan were skinny, and people in the other burroughs and the rest of the nation were fat asses. Little consideration was paid to wealth and free time; much was paid to the unsophistication and generally slobbiness of anyone who doesn't live in Manhattan. It was classy.)
I believe the New York Times Sunday commercials are airing nationwide, right? Anyway, every time that commercial comes on, C. and I simultaneously break into "I go straight for the J&R ads!" and "I like the back page of Sunday Styles! I can catch up on all the society weddings!" So this is funny, because apparently the joke has occurred to someone else, only using the Post (the NY Post is a "newspaper" for the illiterate and those who think that the Enquirer tells the truth. It also has crossword puzzles that my dog could do. And it uses the word "perv" liberally. And thug. You get the idea.)
In a related bit of trivia, C. refuses to go to bed until she does the Wonderword in the Post. We can just be getting in at 3am, drunk, having to get up for work the next day at 7, and she'll sit there and do wonderword. Oh yeah, you can't have her, she's allllll mine!
