This is one of the first things I was telling everyone about San Diego. There are free doggie poop bag dispensers on the street! These things would be empty the second they hit the streets of New York, just ’cause hey, free plastic bags. This was definitely one of those “Whoa, I really am in another city” kind of moments.

This was a while ago at the DMV. They have a large grid of numbers because they have to serve so many people. I was very excited to see what came after 999. To say 800 was a disappointment would be a gross understatement.

Yes this actually happened. I watched a man purchase nearly pounds of deli buffet food at a price of $7.99/lb. It’s beyond me why someone would spend this much on some of the worst food you could possibly get for your buck. The deli guys seemed equally flabbergasted and gave him his bags of potato chips for free.
I remember one time I had deli buffet macaroni and cheese because I was curious and it looked good. My experience was similar to the first time I had tasti-d-lite which was that the food had all the texture of food, but the flavor was like eating air.

There are times I regret having such tunnel vision as I walk down the street. This is not one of those times. My girlfriend was not so lucky and saw this unfortunate scene as we were walking south of The Container Store on 6th Avenue. If people will use public phones (which have nothing to hide anything below the bottom half) as toilets just imagine how bad it must’ve been during the phone booth days. Is that why they stopped making phone booths? I wouldn’t be surprised.

Don’t believe me? Check this out. Sorry for the bathroom oriented comics week. Barring any more extraordinary circumstances I don’t think tomorrow’s will be.

This is an actual van that exists somewhere out there. I realize that DNA screenings must be a much more commonplace service than it was years ago, but why a van? Do they come to your doorstep to take a blood sample? This is all I could think about when I saw it on the street.

This was one of the weirdest things I’ve seen in the subway recently. At the 34th street station there was just a guy lying down on the ground with what appeared to be a small canister of paint thinner or some other chemical. He had a rag to his nose which was clearly soaked in whatever chemical it was and he was just huffing it right there. Weird. He was probably homeless but I didn’t get a good look at him, he was definitely not of the cleaner variety of people you find around the city.
