New York photo of the day: Bronxmas tree
Christmas in the Bronx. Tree by bronxbee.
White Christmas (retro trailer)
It’s in VistaVision and Technicolor, but they don’t want to spoil the surprise of how awesome it is so they cover up all the pretty pictures with giant text…
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Happy Kwanzaa, Joyous Festivus…
…and most felicitous greetings for whatever particular solstice celebration you may be partaking in at the moment.
New York photo of the day: better to light a candle
The world’s biggest menorah, outside the Plaza Hotel.
question of the weekend: What’s the funniest book you’ve ever read?
I would choose The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams. It remains hilarious every time I read it…
New York photo of the day: proper pizza
This is what pizza looks like.
Friday night fortune cookie: Ralphie says…
“Sometimes, at the height of our revelries, when our joy is at its zenith, when all is most right with the world, the most unthinkable disasters descend upon us.”
cute animal video: “Christmas Cats Playing In The Snow”
Also features cats in funny Christmas hats, cats sliding on icy ponds, and cats being tormented by felt reindeer antlers. Merry fun for all.
