Just saw this. A nice rendition of the Simpson's intro using real life actors. Gawd, I love the Simpson's.

Today I hit up the Art Expo at the Javits Center on the West side. That was fine and dandy, but the entire trip was well worth the opportunity to see Dr. Seuss and his marionettes walk around and intermingling with unsuspecting patrons.

Most memorable was when he/shes crept up to the dude you see in this picture and acted like he was frontin'. The perturbed look was best described by the Doctor himself...

A dude who stood,
Contemplating a painting
Little did he know,
I would scare him into fainting.

My most attractive wing women,
Distracting men, left and right.
Oh it's a joy to be a 7 foot cat,
As I scare prentious New Yorkers, into a fright.

Over on Manhattan's West Side,
8 thousand blocks away,
Eric realized he couldn't afford anything
But maybe there was a way...

Then Eric snapped from his dream,
Seeing richer people getting in line.
Then registering for the raffle, only to hear...
Sorry sir, no more tickets. Maybe next time.

"Damn you he said,
Damn you twofold,
I don't care for your raffle!"
Eric tried to scold.

Security came a running,
As Eric tried to fight.
The lanky old booth antendee,
Eric used all of his might.

Three hundred dollars later
NYPD let Eric go.
He was let go on probation,
Eric walked back in the snow.

A most very depressing site
A Korean, on Manhattan's coast
Contemplating a rhyme,
For a blog called midweekpost.

[ I can't believe I just wrote that ]

I must say. There aren't many places I've been to more than once in NYC, but there is one. Sarge's. It's most excellent brunch is a steal of $14.95. The hi-lite of the meal is the bottomless coffee that's served in a mug that I'm certain defines the meaning of "vat".

Oh, and today marks the first time that I can remember not ordering eggs benedict for breakfast.

Hoorah.
