  1. The whole Hung for the Holidays album!! William Hung still cracks me up The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.
  2. I'm there!! http://www.linkedin.com/pub/2/285/bab The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.
  3. Unlike Enron, some people will be staying on to work with the Investment Bank that bought us. I doubt that they would allow us to bring a keg. The Monday after the initial bankruptcy there were some people that were drinking in the office. We should have the news this week. Today we are going to BLT Burgers for burgers and spiked milkshakes. I am going to try Grandma's Treat. Makers Mark, caramel syrup and vanila ice cream. sounds yummy. Maybe I will skip the burgers.

  4. So an update on our outing. We went to Jimmy's Corner. http://newyork.citysearch.com/profile/7186489 We had a great time. $3 bottle domestics, $4 mixed drinks. A dive; but, a friendly dive. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. And yes, my liver cried. I was in bed last night at 9:00PM. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.
  5. So next week will be the 7th round of layoffs at my friendly Int'l Investment Bank. (I work for an international investment bank that went bankrupt and was taken over by another bank) We are planning to have all the people are laid off meet up for drinks at 8:00 AM on Friday 10/31/08. http://newyork.citysearch.com/roundup/43307 I am voting on Jeremy's The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.
  6. If you have cold beer, I will find a way there. It would not be the first time I drove 10 hours to drink someone else's beer. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.
  7. I thought of Nelson Blue; but, it was a bit of a hike. We decided on Jimmy's Corner. http://newyork.citysearch.com/profile/7186489 I spoke with a few people and gave them a call. The woman who answered the call sold me. When I told her the group size and where we were from, she was concerned that we would fit and she could "take good care of us." I stopped by after work to chat with her. She poured me a pint (free) and walked me around. She showed me some of the pictures of Jimmy Glenn (a former boxer and trainer) and told me to come and have a good time. I don't know how to explain it. I was in there 15 minutes and I felt like I was at a friends's house with a cold beer in my hand. I'll give you the full review after the party. Probably on Friday because I fully expect a 2 day hangover. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.
  8. After we all get laid off, can we come crash at your house? I know you did all that renovations and are ready for guests. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.
  9. I work in the area. I am just tired of $9 pints of beer. That is why I said, $5 pints. We will find something, we really just want to get very drunk. Billy, I doubt that you have seen what the average NYC apratment looks like. 30 drunks will not fit. The apartments you saw on Friends is just not real. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.
  10. Cheap is pints of beer $5 or under. It has to be walking 5 minutes walking distance from 52 and 6th. Otherwise people will flake. We all work for a famous investment bank that filed bankruptcy. So we are celebrating it's death as we wait to get laid off by the bank that bought us. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.
  11. So we are having a "Drink till you liver cries" party. I need suggestions for a place to go. It should be: CHEAP a dive within a 5 minute walk of 52 st and 6th Ave, NYC. Thanks in advance. B The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.
  12. We drove from NY to NC and back this week. We got off 95 by Andrews Air Force base to get gas. I felt safer in Bed Stuy Brooklyn. Coming home, everyone is asleep, low gas light comes on and you guessed it, I am by Andrews AFB again. This time as my wife goes to the bathroom, some clowns are mean mugging her. I was in a tough spot, 2 babies in the truck, and my wife 25 feet away walking through these clowns. I stopped filling truck, locked the doors and walked to the doors by the bathroom. As I walked up, one of the clowns says "Be careful, it's a jungle here" I told him I was from NYC and not afraid of country boys trying to intimidate women. We stood staring until my wife came out. Then I quietly walked her back to the truck. As I pulled out, the tough guy pointed to his waist, as if he had a gun. Then made a shooting gesture with his finger. I shrugged my shoulders and drove away. I hate fake tough guys. Tough guys stand up for their families and friends. They defend our country. These wanna be gangsters get their kicks intimidating little women. They are tough in a group; but, not so hard when you stand up to them. I'll be skipping the Andrews AFB exit on the next trip. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.
  13. Is it worth the trip? What else is there to do around there? Is there somewhere else we should go? We will be going to NC September 15 for a week. Visiting my dad near Raliegh for a few days and want to get out with the kids. (2 and 8 months). We are looking to get out in nature and away from the city. I hope to do some moderate hiking; but, we will be carrying the little ones, so it will be only easy to moderate trails. (we have done 2 hikes with the little guys, longest was 2.5 miles) The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.
  14. My youngest is giving the finger and the oldest is not wearing pants. It kind of looks like some parties I have been to. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.
  15. My tech team is there, so I go there every few weeks. I only know from exchange place path train to the office (about 3 blocks) I just want a place that we can go have a few drinks. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.
  16. I'll be in my company's Jersey City office next week. I was looking for a place to go out with some of the team after work for some drinks. Looking for a nice place to sit down and have a few drinks. Outside by the water is ideal. Clean with air-conditioning and cold beer is good too. The office is at 70 Hudson Street. Any suggestions would be appreciated. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.
  17. I pre-ordered a Smat car. With more layoffs expected at my company, I can't justify spending $15,000 for a new car. http://www.smartusa.com/ If anyone is interested, let me know. It would be ordered through Smart USA, Manhattan, NY. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.
  18. Thanks! I will definitely keep them in mind. I will be boxing everything up this week. If I don't get a response, off to Safe Horizons. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.
  19. Just the right thing to do. No reason to have all these clothes sit in a box unused. I hope there is some one out there who can use them. Trust me, I know having kids is expensive. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.
  20. Well, we have a ton of baby clothes for new born boys. Like most baby clothes, most of it was only worn once or twice. I would love to give them to some one. Preferbly in NYC, so it will be easy for me to drop them off or for them to come pick them up. E-mail me at Brian42569@hotmail.

  21. You can send them to http://penniesforpeace.org/ They put them to good use. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.
  22. I've been rooting for GB. It would be nice to see Farve win. Everyone thought he was done. Anyone know where the Jets can get an Offensive line, QB and RB? I thought Thomas Jones was going to help us. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.
  23. No typo. They are horrible. soul crushing, miserable. I don't know why I continue to watch and go to the games. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.
  24. I am willing to pay USD $4.00. Thanks. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.
  25. Not sure where you got this info but my bluray player upscales SD DVDs a lot better than my HD DVD player Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa. I stand corrected. I did a little more research and you are correct. HMM, now to find myself a good deal on a blu-ray player. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.
