Hey kids. What's the rumpus? Panic on the streets of Grammercy! That's was the rumpus. I was involved in bit of a scuffle recently on 23rd Street. A real donnybrook was going down and I stepped in to mange the carnage. No big deal. I'm just a concerned citizen. Like Bruce Wayne minus the butler and gay sidekick.
Here's what happened. I was walking down the road, minding my own, listening to something like this on the earbuds. I was mellow. Reflective. Not ready to throw down. But then came a running high-as-a-Lohan-sister nut-job running down 23rd, causing havoc, attacking civilians. Something had to be done.
Alright, punk ... I pressed pause on my iPod and cracked my knuckles. Let's do this.
"My writing is nothing, my boxing is everything."

You've redeemed yourself after you pussed out when we had to stop that moving car.
J dubs, you don't look 6'2". I would have figured a stocky, solid 5'10"
Echo, It takes a big man to admit he can't take a punch. I'm going to get you a catcher's mask for christmas so you can go out and fight crime.
Nah, I'm 6-1. About 200 pounds. Ready to throw down if a druggie attacks a pedestrian. Apparently.
Echo, no offense, but shut-up already....I want to hear this story!!! And, with a "Polite" button right in front of you. Jeez!
Oh, and, J-Dub....you done good, bud!
Good eye, Effen. My button says "POLITE NEW YORKER." It's from my favorite hot dog stand Grey's Papaya.
I checked out this Tom Waits cat on the youtube....I enjoy his piano stuff. AND his hats.
Vicky, you have made me very happy. Tom is one of my heroes. I just learned "I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You" on my guitar.

I'll pop on a short-brimmed fedora the next time I play it.
Ah, at least there's one man that I am able to please....even if he is on the other side of the country :o)
"Well I turn around to look at you, you're nowhere to be found,
I search the place for your lost face, guess I'll have another round
And I think that I just fell in love with you."
