As my favorite Russian gypsy once told me: “Sure, man pays … but who paid for my hair? Who paid for my nails? For my new dress? …. and why I did all that? … ” So, I’m on Marina’s side … man supposed to pay! Or, in the words of another sage: “Man’s money is for paying bills …. woman’s money is for spending.”

You OBVIOUSLY do NOT live here.

I’ll just put on my wooden shoes, sit under the windmill, and have a Heineken. - Poop Deck Game
That’s why it took me until June to notice

Not any more …just the names, my friend … the Dutch folk moved out long ago. Just like their ain’t no Indians living in Soyosett or Chappaqua neither. - Poop Deck Game
My Dear Teacher,I also have a word request: We are arguing, my friends and I, about the origin of the word “stoop.” In Brooklyn, we say things like “yeah, Marina’s that hot chic that always hangs out on her stoop.” Or, “hey, Frankie, who’s them guys in suits on your stoop?” Anyway, some of us think the word derives from the Dutch (New York being originally a Dutch city) word for veranda. Others think it derives from the Russian stoopnya (for foot), since the “stoop” is where you place your feet on entering the building. Also, although there are no Dutch in New York, there are plenty of Russians.
Thank you,

My Dear Teacher,I hate to be a party-pooper, but did you know your 2009 calendar has an error? July simply repeats June – the numbers of the days are wrong. For example, it says that July 17th is a Wednesday when it is really a Friday.
So, do I get extra credit for pointing that out? Maybe a lunch date next time you come to New York? …. or a personally autographed photo (with something to make it seem real and personal) to impress my friends with? …. or …. something.
