Miscellaneous Monday

The LG Report presents some miscellaneous thoughts to start your week.  But before we get to that, there's a photo at the very bottom of this post that we took on Saturday at Benny's Burrito's in New York City's Greenwich Village at 1:30 in the afternoon.  Even though it was in public view for all to see, it's a very distasteful image. 

This is fair warning: don't scroll all the way down if you don't want to see it!  But, of course, like a horrific train wreck, everyone will want to crane their neck to check it out.  Just don't say we didn't warn you...

Ok, some miscellaneous thoughts:

• America Idol Update: .....................We don't watch American Idol.
• We have an interview coming shortly with Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino from the MTV show Jersey Shore.  Don't miss it.
• We HATE stores that keep one of their front entrance double doors locked at all times.  Especially after you've just told off the cashier for some idiotic mistake or extra long wait, and, as you stride triumphantly out of the place, you push against the locked door and come to a screeching halt, nose pressing up against the glass.  Why do they do that? It sucks;
• Two of our favorite lines from the first season of Jersey Shore:
• At 2 a.m., some of the male cast members tell three random women who had stopped by the house to leave.  Just as they step onto the street, a Seaside Heights garbage truck passes by.  One of the men yells out to the departing girls, "Your ride's here!"
• In another episode, Ronnie is on the boardwalk with his girl.  A guy who he'd been having a verbal altercation with yells "Go back to Staten Island bro!"  Ronnie's witty response: "I'm not from Staten Island bro!" 
• There's a show on the Discovery Channel called Swamp Loggers.  It's filmed in North Carolina.  Despite the fact that these people are Americans speaking English, in many scenes the Discovery Channel includes captions of what the men are saying.  To paraphrase Jeff Foxworthy, you know you're a redneck when an American TV show is providing captions for your English;
• This might be the one plausible defense for someone who goes ballistic and commits a heinous act of violence:  "I was forced to listen to the 'Cars for Kids' radio commercial repeatedly." 
• Among the most deceptive images in our society, and ones which should be much more closely regulated by the government:  Pictures of frozen pizza on TV.  They all look so good on the boob tube, and they all suck so badly in real life.
• I don't miss contorting my body to reach around behind the TV to adjust the vertical or horizontal hold.  If you have ever done that in your life, you're old.

OK, here's the picture that we warned you about.  Click off this page now if you don't want to see it.  Again, we gave you fair warning.  This photo was taken in broad daylight on a busy NYC street on Saturday.  There must've been a major plumbers' convention in town.  Here it is:

Still time to bail....

You can click out now....

Go no further if you have a weak stomach....

This is not for the faint of heart....

We're not kidding, it's coming shortly.....

Think twice before continuing....

Ok, you can't hold us liable, you're doing this of your own free will....

Here it is, enjoy!:

    
There's a lot we can say, but we won't make any cracks about this photo.  We told you not to look, butt you wouldn't listen....

We'll try to do better next time, please come back soon!
