Imponderable #114: Sari, Will You Marry Me?

25 Oct

October 25, 2013

It was a rare night out for Mr. Blog. The Editors and Staff of Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride (me and Allan Keyes) went into the city to see the RiffTrax guys (formerly the MST3K guys) do their thing on Night of the Living Dead. It was hysterical and if you want to catch it, too bad. It was one night only. but more on that in another blog.

When we left the theater we saw, parked partially in the middle of traffic, a food cart hooked up to a pickup truck. No big deal, right? Then take a look for yourself.

Romantic, right? I guess so. There didn’t seem to be anybody around. There was a guy checking out the coupling connecting the truck to the cart but he may have been a thief. He was dressed in dirty overalls. We hung around awhile, hoping Sari would come strolling out of the theater on the arms of another guy but no, nothing. Was Sari in the theater? And if so, what movie was she seeing? My guess- Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2.

Sari didn’t come out, and there was no one around the cart anyway. And why the cart in the first place? Is there some special significance to it?

Did Sari ever see the sign? Did she agree to marry the apparently invisible dude? Did the cart get a citation for blocking traffic? Or was this all just a weird NYC thing?

The Inappropriate Gorilla

8 Oct

October 8, 2013

Do you like curry?
I do not.

I think it stinks. Put it in my meal and you can keep it. Don’t want it. Won’t touch it.
And that’s a problem.

My girlfriend is a great cook. She can cook anything and it all tastes great. But the trouble is, she likes curry.
Loves it.

I do not.

So it can be a little bit of a problem when she cooks for me because she is likely to put curry in anything, including pancakes.

But that is my cross to bear in life.

HOWEVER, there is one circumstance where I can get firmly behind curry, Where I say “bring it on” and while I won’t touch that crap, I’ll gladly back the fact that it is there.

This is a shop in Manhattan and no, I’ve never been there. Don’t want to go in there either. But I love gorillas and stick a gorilla on a sign and you’ve got a store that I’m all for. Won’t try the food, but I love the sign. I have no idea what a gorilla has to do with curry, but as I always say, everything is better with gorillas.

That seems to me to be the most inappropriate use of a gorilla that I can imagine.

BTW- not only is that Kodak film’s colors, it looks like they used the same font as well.
