Hi folks. Thanks for joining us on the commute to work today; I hope you enjoy the view. We had our first snowfall of the year here last night and it made me think about how nice it would be to spend Christmas in New York; I've always wanted to do that. Another thing I, and my business partner, Robert, wish to do is to get our asses out of our day jobs, so we're really hoping our business venture (Cross the Line Designs) continues to take off; we already have our resignations drafted. We spent the commute today thinking about how nice it would be to drop those resignations off and hit the road for NY, to move into our great new penthouses alongside beautiful Central Park ... not together though .... we're not those kind of partners ... not that there'd be anything wrong with that, but even if we were, he's not my type ... he's much to hairy and overweight and .. .I guess I should shut up about that now, before I get myself into trouble.
New York City is definitely a spot that has everything a person can look for. From great landmarks to wonderful shows, shopping and nightlife to exciting cultural and sporting events. But perhaps my favorite thing about New York City is the incredible selection of meats you can pick up at various markets to prepare your favorite dishes. I have to tell you one of my favorites from my last trip was the submarine sandwich I made from the beefy armadillos I got from a quaint market I visited in Queens. And the folks at Subway call themselves sandwich artists ... please! That's right folks, I said beefy armadillos, and that's not all the Food Safety Inspectors having been finding in markets around New York lately.
According to a story from the Associated Press, Inspectors have found numerous items of "illegal exotic fare," which I've reproduced for you in the form of one of my favorite Christmas carols, because that's just the mood this snowfall has me in. Ok, here goes (sing it if you know it) ...
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my Food Inspector gave to me ...
12 pounds of cow lungs
11 live iguanas
10 armadillos
9 skinned smoked rodents
8 gross singed chickens
7 bull frogs jumping
6 cans of fish paste
5 chimpanzees
4 gorillas
3 ducks feet
2 turtles
and a bad case of botulism
I was really hungry when I started writing this posting; now I think I can wait until tomorrow. Folks I am disgusted to tell you that the list above is an actual inventory of items that have truly been discovered by Food Safety Inspectors in New York City, one of my favorite cities on the planet. The good news is I now have a better understanding for why people are vegetarians .... see, it IS possible for me to grow as a person after all. I feel so good about myself now, I'm getting my appetite back! Maybe I'll have some pepperoni ....
