new york city related discussion itt

sometimes I'll hear people singing on the subway and think "he/she learned to sing in church" and this always chokes me up

theres a guy on the a/c line sometimes who sells dvds and hes got great patter, "forecast outside: miserable. forecast inside: $3 dvds" or something

haha there are a lot of change-is-gonna-come singers groups on the trains lately. I guess word is out about it making white people choke up.

one of my favorite subway dudes was the metrocard holder dude: "It's the NEW metrocard holder. Slides in, slides out, only a dollar."

my favorite ever candy seller spiel (an older guy, not the not-selling-for-no-basketball-team kids) was somthing like, "God told me not to rob, steal, or sell drugs. God told me sell peanut M&Ms. He said, 'White people love peanut M&Ms. And they got money.' So far he's been right."

lol

funny cause god told me they love weed

ppl haven't openly sold weed on the subway since Dinkins days, man, u kidz shoulda been here then

^^last car on the train amirite

bet it was beat

fyi if you're in asia all the panhandlers have handlers

no reason to think NYC would be different! ^_^

I don't really care though if you choose to sell candy on a train that's fine I'll buy your peanunt M&Ms

dunno dayo if you bite in deep enough and you will taste the truth

er minus 'and'

I guess the kids are probably making the equivalent of after-payroll-tax minimum wage and it's probably more fun than mcdonalds, but

I mean on one hand it's relative to their other options, but on the other hand it's the same SYSTEM that MAKES those welch's fruit snacks that leaves them with no options

yeah those welch's fruit snacks, who the hell is gonna buy that? that's really what I don't get about this scheme

if this were a well oiled machine they would be selling cheetos instead

they must be like the absolute cheapest thing you can get in bulk

guys which is the better airport to fly into: laguardia or jfk? convenience-wise

maybe the syndicate bought a single box of those at the start of the scheme and they've just been trying to get rid of them for years

I dunno why you would be grudging these kids just because they're organized. maybe because this is AMERICA where we SHOULDN'T GIVE HANDOUTS because everybody must WORK for their LIVELIHOOD

staying in brooklyn

jfk

awes, thanks

I mean CONGRATULATIONS for seeing the BIG PICTURE and having CLEAR EYES about NOT GETTING SWINDLED

where in brooklyn -- lga might be better if you're in wburg or greenpoint

ya in a certain sense buying m&ms from duane reade is prob going to even worse people in the end

wburg

are you gonna take a taxi or the train?

if we stopped giving money to panhandlers they would all just go and get jobs, right

because there are plenty of those to go around

saw a dvd seller a while ago do his spiel in english, then in spanish, then paused and did it in french -- everyone was like whooooa

cab from lga to wburg would be like $20 maybe?

dunno! might be getting picked up?

my rule is never, ever fly into laguardia if you can help it

that shit shuts down like 5 times a week

if you're getting picked up or taking a cab to wburg then yeah lga

if you're taking public transit jfk

i can get miles if i go to LGA

btw i go to new york

when

new year's

buddy of mine is buying half my ticket, so it's still OK even this last minute

oh wow I'll probably be in ny at that time too

but can understand two ships passing etc etc

why are you taking a ship

man if you come here there's gonna be a snowstorm huh

so basically i have this choice:

JFK -- $50 cheaper, Sun Country, no miles
LGA -- Delta, miles

take the miles, always take the miles

why are you taking a ship
