Man, work has become busy busy. But, it’s a good kind of busy. Tuesday night I went to my PHP meeting (NYPHP:http://www.nyphp.org) and learned some useful things which I will apply to my upcoming MoccaNY project. Also met up with fellow friend Felix whom I have not seen since novemeber 2004. He was off in Iraq for the last year fighting the good fight and well, breaking his laptop upon a bad helicopter landing. But he’s in good spirits and we’ll try to catch up soon or later. Dinner however on Tuesday was great though. Ended up meeting with M at our favorite little place Saigon Grill which will be opening a new location by Union sq. So happy. They’re soups are just amazing.
As fast as this week has been flying by, I am looking forward to seeing friend Sharon on Saturday and hitting up the NY Comic Con. It’s sad that I’m actually looking forward to spending $15 bucks for an over-glorified flea-market but, I want to buy lots of books at cheap-cheap prices and well, the NY con at the Javitts was a horrible let-down. Oh well. It’s fun to go with friends though as you get to help each other find cool goodies.
So, now, back to the title of this article. Chicken Wings. They be tasty. But, I haven’t yet understood why, of all food types and groups, it’s always the chicken wings that end up on the floors of subway cars and on the stairs of station steps. Not burgers, hotdogs, pretzels, peanuts. Not even wrappers of this stuff. No, just chicken wings. Lots of chicken wings. I think there must be an association of chicken wing eaters that has a written agenda to never ever toss out a chicken wing in the garbage but rather throw it down on the ground where you stand.
I also find it funny that the subway rats won’t touch them or go near them. I once saw a rat pondering over a chicken bone but decided that the metro card looked better. Actually, I do wonder at times if someone from a far-off place has ever wandered into the subway, see some little bones with meat on them and then run screaming out of the subway that there are cannibals in the subway that eat babies. Yeah, ok, I don’t know where this is going but, go click some Google links!
