GREAT NEW YORK QUOTES
Intervention had one of the best New York quotes I’ve ever heard: “We’re Italian Americans. We Stick together, we help our parents when they get sick, and we stick together.” It reminded me of the time I saw the Circle Jerks open for GBH and they said, “This next band (GBH) is from Bristol. This is the kind of town where you can only do two things. You either joint the army, start a band or work in a factory.” This happened in New York so it counts as a New York quote. Here’s two other gems from last Sunday’s New York Post.
1- HOW INTENSE?
From the Post’s Page Six Magazine:
Kelly Ripa seems to manage marriage, career, her killer bod and parenthood with a smile plastered on her face. Of course, it helps that she has a supportive husband, household help—and an intense do-it-yourself attitude.
2- AT THE CANCER VIXEN SPALAPALOOZA BENEFIT FOR THE BREAST CLINIC AT ST VINCENTS HOSPITAL FOR UNINSURED WOMEN
It was a bash for breasts, but all eyes were focused below the belt on the blue-polished big toenails (with hand-painted yellow scorpions) of Silvano Marchetto. At the Cancer Vixen Spalapalooza! benefit for the Breast Clinic at St. Vincent’s Hospital for uninsured women, the restaurateur showed off his toenails painted by the Cancer Vixen herself, cartoonist Marisa Acocella Mar- chetto.

“This is the kind of town where you can only do two things. You either join the army, start a band or work in a factory.”
I’m not from Bristol, but that sounds like three things to me.

ohh there was a really good one recently about a 50 year old heroin addict named Tom, from Boston. Towards the end, (SPOILER ALERT) when he goes to rehab, he is shown flying across a zipline screaming something along the lines of, “Its good to be clean and soobbbaaaa”.
Man. I fuckin love Boston.
