Butler 4

A very interesting pet store was opened in the west village so I went one Saturday to investigate.
Looks pretty normal until you get down to that last line.
This bunny appears to be getting ready for a special occasion. She got her pearls on and is grooming her nails with a nail file.
Newly born chickens starting the day out right with a nutritious meal.

And a nice pork product in the terrarium.

If you remember my Banksy post a few months ago. This is the same artist. Who put this pet shop together.

Yes!!! It's Halloween and that means it's time for the NYC Halloween Parade. Unlike church sponsored dances... It's okay to wear masks, cross dress, and have costumes with excessive gore. To be honest I saw some costumes that they should make rules about. (Do not worry I shall not be showing any of those costumes in this post).
I was an "Officer and Gentleman". Many people asked me how I can be both and I just told them it's a slight manner in how I carry myself and how I react in certain situations. But that, Yes, in the end I was most a surely an Officer and Gentleman. In the above picture I found Hunter S. Thompson another American Hero and He agreed to take a photo. You might be wondering why my costume looks so legit. That's because it is. My dad was in the Navy and this is his uniform. People really like this Uniform. Lots of people asked for photos with me. While crossing a intersection a NYCPD said to me, "welcome to the city Commander" Which was my Dad's rank... as shown by the fancy shoulder thingys.

So here are the basic rules to the NYC Halloween Parade. Any one can show up and walk in the Parade. You just have to stand in a line smashed for over an hour moving at a glacier pace. They bottle neck you with barricades and then all of the sudden you're out in the open and walking down the street.
And you get to see the most lovely amazing costumes. People get all decked out for this thing.
The parade walks from Canal Street to somewhere in the 20's. Once you are in you have to walk all the way out. There are a ton of people along the route on the side walk cheering and taking pictures. People are hanging out their apartment windows watching. It's a huge party.
There was a few bands.
Lots of couple costumes.
Next to Hunter this was my favorite costume of speedy.
Abe! I wonder how he felt about Obama lifting material from him for his acceptance speech?
Then there was the NYC Jedi. These dudes are serious and armed!
Jared is a tall guy... but not that tall compared to the Wookie. Even with the rabbit ears he cannot compete.

So that's it. This was my first time in the NYC parade and I want to do it again next year. I've already have come up with an idea for a costume. An Anorexic Incredible Hulk. I think it could really call attention to eating disorders.

I hope the best for you in your Presidency. Just don't turn us into Sweden. Although if you can bring more beautiful people here I would be down with that.

Well... it was a Friday night and what shall we do?Let's play ticket to ride again. So after my monumental game earlier in the week there was some discussion if 181 with 3 players is as impressive as 160 with 5 players. It's place in the record book is secure there is no question of that. The question was if there should be an "*" or not.

To be honest there is something to the debate. So to clear it up I played a five person game and ran the saddle technique again and scored huge.
In fact... I got 181 again! In the same week. What are the chances of that?
The chances are just like me... slim.

Here I am counting up what might be the most amazing ticket game in my life.
My track stretched through California skirted Mexico and up the through the south stretching all the way to Canada... but is it enough.
8 of 9 cards completed... but is it enough?

It is worthy of the hire. New record on my board 181. Which lays to waste the old record of 160.

Things are pretty rough here in NYC. I've had to take on some extra jobs to make rent. Here is some of my "work" on the side.

No the truth be known... I was just walking down the street and I looked up and saw myself. It was so crazy. For a bit I thought that someone had stole a picture of me and photoshop'd me into that space. But no, it's just someone that looks a lot like me.

Every week I get emails or people at church asking me if it's me. If some dude asks, I say no. However if a cute girl asks I say "sure is".

Eric and Ashely are here on holiday here and I swung them buy to check it out. They were quite surprised.

So if you are in Manhattan any time soon and want to see me swing by the corner of 42nd st and 5th and look up and I'm right there looking down at you.
