45's

Have you ever wondered why 45 records came with that huge hole in the middle? Why sell one type of record that didn't fit on record players?

Ordering a Bagel in New Jersey..

Why can't people just order a bagel? It now takes almost as long to order a bagel as it does to order, well, a coffee. Is it warm? Wait that ones got too much poppy seeds not enough garlic show me another. No, for real. Theres the on the side guy - "I want 3 everything bagels and 1/4 pound of butter". I'm not sure what the butter on the side is saving you, but its not worth the curses you're picking up from the Greek lady on line thats outside in the cold. There's the racist bagel-er - "I'll have a light everything, toasted, with walnut cream cheese". First, when did it become OK to be a bagel racist? I mean, everyone wants the dark one, no one wants the light? I guess that means schmucks like me that order and duck to the side get the mediums no one else wants? And the cream cheese. God invented cream cheese. Seeing what we can stick in it to make it taste better - not natural!

Its cream cheese cloning IMHO. It must stop now. Do a Google search. Mountain Berry Cream Cheese. Cubumber and Red Onion. Pumpkin (i kid you not). Just because its soft doesn't mean you should stick crap in it! Then of course there's the I'm taking it ot my office guy - "give me 18 and make them 1 Poppy, 1 Egg, 1 Plain, 1 Onion. He's got to pay separately for the gross of bagels and his of course, for expenses (did I mention the Greek lady is still out on the sidewalk in the cold). There's the serial orderer. They order a five option bagel "Dark, light butter, thin swiss, cut in half and half again.." and when the ladies done has a whole 'nother 45 minute bagel to make from scratch "now I want the same thing with TWO slices of swiss".

Brooklyn Speech..

I'm not sure that people speak better than they write, just goes by faster. Spend some time in Brooklyn. They add a "b" to supposedly, the word three is pronounced without the "h" and bathroom comes out more like "baatchroom". Picture and Pitcher are said exactly the same. Someone says "see that pitcher over there" I can't tell if they mean a picture, a pitcher of water or Ron Darling...

MIB3..Great movie but some major holes..

MIB3 - I really like that they are on the 3rd film and I still like the series. All in all a great film BUT I have two issues with the film (and if you don't want to know what happens in the film, stop here).

First, J and 1969 K need to find a spaceship in 1969 to get an amulet into space in the next six hours (its the movies). They decide they need to get to Cape Canaveral for the moon launch thats going up in 6 hours. But there are hundreds of aliens already on earth - each and every one had to get here on a spaceship. 

Second, they are in 1969 somewhere between Queens and Manhattan (and in the run up to You Gotta Believe!! at Shea). Remember we learned in MIB II that the Worlds Fair display contained two spaceships. Did they think getting from Manhattan to Queens was going to take longer than getting to Cape Canaveral?

If you have 15 or 16 boarding groups on a plane with 30 people why don't you just call people by name?

They should get a gate agent for the Chicago flight that doesn't say "Chick-cargo".  Its pronounced "Shicago"...
