Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That was brilliant. I'm suprised they aren't just marketing it as Dunkin style!

Now tagless for your comfort.

They use "bubbler" up here, too, for some odd reason. I had no idea what they were talking about the first time I heard that.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

A former super once told me about a Korean War Bride who had been in her rent-controlled apartment in my building for 50 years, and was paying something like $150/month. The husband had died years earlier. (FTR, my rent in that building was $1600/month.)

My upstairs neighbor on 4th Ave in Brooklyn lived sixty years in that building and was paying about $100/month for a whole floor of a brownstone (4 rooms and a kitchen). I was paying $900, and then $1350 after the owners sold it.

Of course, that's not quite as bad as the woman with the apartment in the swank West Village ($80 a month) who rented it out each summer for $600 thereby paying for her to go to Greece for two months.
