Hello Killer

This is an updated post about an older posted topic and the above rifle is real. I found this blog post while reviewing some docs on gun control in the US. I’ve heard NY is working to ban the sale of toy guns that look real, it’s probably not far off for them to equally ban real guns that are painted to look like toys.

Suggested words John McCain should avoid

In order to remove the stigma that the candidate is “too old”, John Stewart has made a list of suggested words McCain should not be using any more, including:

contraption
dagnabbit
whipper-snapper
negro league
daguerreotype

And words that are older than he is:
telegraph
fossil
sarsaparilla

Some additional words I think should be added to this list:
dotard
flummoxed
hobnob
revelry
merrymaking
turnip
varmint
yore
maverick

Shakespeare in the Park(ing) Lot

Public theater is one of the oldest forms of performing art. Even when a formalized language didn’t exist, humans were reenacting events of their surroundings and expressing their emotions through public displays of story telling. In New York, the Public Theater in Central Park has become an institution since 1954. Shakespeare in the Park as it’s more famously know as, has been a great cultural event during the summers of New York. The other weekend, we stumbled upon an adaptation of this in Lower East Side: Shakespeare in the Park(ing) Lot

The Drilling CompaNY is putting on an urban version of Henry V from July 24th through August 9th in an empty parking lot at Ludlow and Broome. I’m not going to begin to review the play but here’s a write up from NY Theatre. Check it out if you can, Parking available but bring you’re own chair and beverages.
