  1. Does anyone's cabel or Satellite company carry this station? It is listed in the TV section of my paper. They have some good programming. I called my cable provider and they don't carry it.
  2. Yeah, in fact, I'm using my mind to type this response right now. Let's see in humans.
  3. I can see the Four Fressmen as being one set that hasn't had great sales. Maybe also the Charlie Parker. Yeah, I know its bird, but none of the recordings are complete takes of numbers. Unless you can't live without everything Bird did, you may pass on this one too. Any others out there right now or from the past that were bombs?
  4. I'lll try Reach next. That CD was at the Towerrecords by me. Thanks.
  5. Scientists claim to have found an astonishing "bat boy"in a West Virginia cave. The strange creature has enormous amber eyes that enable him to see in the dark and oversized ears that work like radar! Even stranger, Dr. Ron Dillon says the boy communicates with high-pitched squeaks and squeals and refuses to eat anything but flying insects that he catches himself. "I hardly know what to make of it," said the zoologist. "The boy appears to be human but he is unlike any other human I've ever seen. His eyes are twice as big as they should be and his ears are like satellite dishes. This boy clearly belongs to a race of people who live miles beneath the Earth's surface. And it is my guess that they evolved bat-like features and abilities to enable them to survive in total darkness. "There's no telling how many of these creatures are down there," he added. "This particular boy was all alone but he almost certainly strayed from a much larger tribe or pack." Dillon and seven colleagues found the so-called bat boy during a study of subterranean life in a previously uncharted cave east of Seneca Rocks in the Shenandoah Mountains. The scientist said that he and his team were approximately two miles underground when they heard the 2-foot, 19-pound creature squealing frantically in an apparent plea for help. "We turned our lights in the direction of the cries and found the boy with his bare foot wedged in the crack between two rocks," said the expert. "To tell you the truth, I thought I was seeing things. "The last thing I expected to find at that great depth was another human being, much less one that looks like he came from outer space." Dillon said he freed the boy's foot and lifted him up for a closer look. The child appeared to be stunned at first - then lashed out like an animal caught in a trap. "I couldn't believe how strong he was," continued the expert. "He scratched and clawed and fought like crazy. We finally subdued him with a tranquilizer injection. "Then we brought him to the surface and took him to a private hospital for testing and observation. Since that time we have learned a great deal about him." "But we still have more questions than answers." Dillon said the bat boy appears to be 3 or 4 years old and has adapted to life in captivity quicker than expected. Feeding was a problem at first. But the boy has been eating well and has actually gained weight since scientists stopped giving him human foods - and began to flood his room with bugs. "We get them from laboratories involved in insect research and release them into his room by the millions," said Dillon. "Like a bat, the boy cannot tolerate bright light." "But he still manages to consume his own weight in bugs every single day by locating their position with his radar-like ears and catching them with his mouth and hands." "Needless to say, he is extremely active. When it's time to feed he moves like lightning. It's the most astonishing thing I've ever seen." Dillon refused to pinpoint the location of the cave where the boy was found or say where the child is being held. He did say that he is planning a second expedition in the hope of proving that the boy belongs to a subterranean civilization that exists miles beneath our feet. "This strange little boy might very well lead us to a world within a world," said the expert. "No matter what happens, he's going to change the way we think about mankind and evolution forever."
  6. Here we Come is a gerat record.
  7. Also there's the Pink Pussy Cat on off of 6th ave in the Village. People just go there to see all the sick shit pervs would buy. Good for a laugh.
  8. If you drink beer, You have to visit McSorely's on 9th street off the Bowery. It is the oldest pub in NYC. I believe last month was its 150 birthday. Great beer and raw onions and sawdust on the floor. For years no women were allowed in the pub. When they won their admittance, they had to share bathrooms with men. Was strange taking a pee and seeing a woman washing their hands.
  9. I bought his CD Reach on a whim. It's real good. I heard him on the raido and decided give him a shot. Anything else by him worth checking out?
  10. Inspite of all the jabs Norah gets, I think she has a nice voice. But I still don't have either of her 2 albums.
  11. Ground zero if you visit is a big open space now. It is all cleaned up. There is a church that was next to the 2 towers. It’s the oldest church in NY. It didn't suffer any damage, which is amazing once you see the site and the photo hung on the church of the collapse. You can visit it. It has become the living remembrance of 911. The Empire State builing is great. If you want to go, you'll have to get there real early. The lines can get up to 2 hours + to visit the top. The Statue of Liberty is nice to visit, but I believe visitors are limited to what you can do when you’re there since 911 or it might be closed.
  12. If you like Starbucks, there's one, no two on every corner.
  13. Hey, the company I work for is sponsoring the exams. We have build a make shift operating room in the lobby recently. Al's photo is hanging there along with Katey Curic of the Today Show.
  14. There is also a walking tour offered of NYC. You get to see all the historical buildings, Central Park, Time Square and other stuff like that. Only thing, you'll have to be up for walking a lot. Someone I know did this and was in pain for a week after this. I guess she wasn't use to walking. Try to say away from the bus tours. They charge to much in my opinion.
  15. Favorite hotels Favorite restaurants Favorite Used CD Stores (for me) Favorite theatres (for her) Favorite museums....heck FAVORITE ANYTHING!! As far a theatres, in Timesquare, I can't remember the name off hand. but anyway, there is a place to buy tickets for shows that haven't sold out at a dicounted price. Well worth it. As far as museums, go to in this order. The Metropolitan Museum of Art The Museum of Modern Artt, The Museum of Natural History and Guggenheim Museum. If you go down to the village, make sure you vist Charlie PArker's apartment at 151 Avenue B. See the image below. http://www.ci.nyc.ny.us/html/lpc/ As far as food, too many places. It will depend on what type of food you like to eat. J&R for CD's. Not used, but good prices. They are located across from city hall. My wife and I enjoy walking in the village. You'll see every kind of strange person there. Plus the Village Vanguard and the Blue Note jazz clubs are there.
  16. I learnt another one yesterday. It's called "A Courtesy Flush". This made me laugh. Bassically it when you go into the restroom at work and someone is stinking up the joint, he'll flush to clear the air.
  17. On Long Island where I live, the deer have gotten so use to people feeding them that they run up to your car in some areas. Each spring along the shore line the county where I live post signs on how many deer were hit during the winter as a result of people feeding them. This winter the number was 29. There was also a sign saying 25 cars were totalled because of this. I've seen them while driving. They look at you from the side of the road, wondering if you're going to stop and give them food. 7 years ago while driving through Montana I almost his a buffalo. Just missed it. They don't move when they see you. The buffalo was anout the size of the car I was in. I'm pretty sure I would have lost if I hit him.
  18. Looking for a old thread from 1 or 2 months back with a link to a Horace Silver interview. Anyone know where it is buried? It talked about his release of Rockin' With Rachmaninoff, and his new album coming out this spring. Thanks.
  19. Too bad along with the post counter there can't be a mintues or how many times visiting counter.
