Young Frankenstein on Broadway - My 1st comical trip to NYC

[Hyfi]

That's still among my favorite comedies of all time, but your story was nearly as good. Funny you mention the guy is a psychologist. There's an uncle on my wife's side who is also one, and what a total effing moron. He vowed to be his only son's 'best friend' and it blew up in his face. Sorry dude, you're his father and he can make his own friends. Talk about dysfunctional. Anyway, don't be so tough on NY. It sounds like you needed a better travel plan (my sister lives in Princeton and can take the train into the city for $20 and park for $3.00 at the station). I love NY but wouldn't want to live there, but what a great place to hang out for a couple nights.

I will go back around xmas time. My wife wants me to see the things she got to see when she went in December. We plan to take the train fro Hamilton Station, one stop before Princeton I think. I still don't care for people walking through me everywhere I turn but I'm sure I can make a good time of it.

Like my story told, we were all set to take the train from 4 blocks from their house but they insisted on the ferry crap.

Your bit about friends between dad and son is spot on. He is 62 and had quad bypass 11 years ago. The kid probably cost them $200k in fertility bills and I am sure the guy did not want to discipline the kid in light of having his kid hate him if he died. I see both sides, somewhat but this kid gets rewarded instead of punished. In two weeks, they are taking him and a friend, he cried he would be bored, to Europe for 2 weeks. I would have canceled the trip. They can't really ground him because he spends every waking moment, sometimes till 3am on his PC playing some war game. They did take the power cable for a few days so he stared at the Military channel on TV the rest of the week. They live 4 houses from the beach and the kid won't even set foot on it let alone go in or learn to surf or something.

I voiced my opinion but parents never want to hear the truth or that they may not be handling their kid. I can't say too much in fear they will get angry at me and mess up my vacation spot...LOL.

Has been kind of dead lately, hasn't it?


Now will you tell me what software you use for your thin jewel cases?

Teenaged sons are supposed to hate their fathers. It isn't until your 20s, or even your 30s, that you understand why he disciplined you and reconcile with him.

If he's such a badass military genius, put the punk in military school. Stick him in the Marines if he';s old enough. That'll change his attitude. (Probably push him off the deep end in the opposite direction.)

Yeah, funny story, we need more weird OT crap like that around here.

I almost forgot, the kid has been whining for a yellow lab puppy to replace a dog that recently died. As soon as they get back from Europe, they are going to get him one!

I'm sure he will take care of it just like he told them he would. That's not the sad part, the fact that they buy into it every time is.

Great,great thread. Every psych major that I've ever dated has been screwed up, presumably leading to life of hypocritical pontificating whilst making some other sap's home life miserable. Grass is always greener I guess, but you would think that a psych major would know better than to go into a relationship looking to reform or change someone.

My first trip to NYC was with 28,000 Ballpark hotdogs in a borrowed '88 Delta...y'know I don't think I'm gonna talk too much about except to say it was as weird and stupid as it sounds.NYC is, however, a great place to go. Full of life and open twenty-four-seven, like Vegas, and that can be pretty useful.

Here's a third for the continuance of the off-kilter. There hasn't been too many good releases these last few months so aside from the bizarre and offtopic there ain't that much to go around. Frankly, I've put more hours this week into Troy's goofy MP3 disc than any of the recent releases...except Shearwater.

I had an '88 Delta. It was my favorite car of all time!

I have been listening to Squarepusher and Keller Williams which a co-worker turned me onto. Williams plays alot like Hedges. Squarepusher is a bassist who uses a lot of electronica and looping. Good vids of both on Youtube.

That's the spirit.

Rock is dead, long live the weird.
