Mini-Kiss

As promised I found mini-Kiss. However they are much bigger (in popularity) than mini-MJ, because they actually do ticketed shows, you can't find them in the subways. This performance is from the Jimmy Kimmel show. I love it at the end when Jimmy ask mini-gene if they ever do other impersonations like The Village People and mini-gene answers "no we want girls man!"

I just found another mini-sensation, mini-Britney! It's so awful I'm not posting it on my blog, but will give you the link. Here it is.

Mini Michael Jackson

About 1 & 1/2 years ago I encountered a Mini Michael Jackson in the Union Square subway. He's probably about 3 feet in height, has perfected the dance movements of MJ, and has even added some 21st century flare to it. Just to get this out of the way, this mini impersonator is not a child prodigy but a little person, if that's the correct term. This Friday, deep in the Times Square subway station, I was blessed to receive another random encounter with this pint sized moon-walker. Luckily i had my trusty camera and videoed his performance of Beat It. This weekend I shared my video with some friends and was made aware that mini-MJ is not the only mini impersonator to entertain the bowels of NYC. Somewhere, there is mini-Kiss, and apparently the mini-Gene Simons has an extremely long mini tongue. I will be on the look out for them, so stay tuned.

A story of love, or a load of crap?

We've all seen the story about the surrogate cat that adopting abandoned puppies, the mother tiger taking in piglets as her own young, and the tortoise and hippo duo. Well here's another heart touching story about an orphaned monkey and his new found companion, which happens to be a pigeon. Ohh how convenient.... Common, now they're just insulting our intelligence! What's next an elephant with an ant-farm? What's gonna happen when the bird takes the monkey to side of cliff and tries to teach him to fly. I'll tell you what, dead-ass monkey! Yeah yeah, i'm sooo cruel. But this will never happen because the story is fake, made up by a bunch of con-artists from a zoo in china. Let me tell what really happened:
A hungry carnivorous chimp, perched up in tree, spotted a pigeon on the ground. He leaped off the branch at the pigeon with one thing mind, pigeon ala king. He obviously captured and killed the bird. Zoo keepers or maybe an onlooker caught everything on video. Instead of submitting it to When Animals Attack, this cleaver manipulator grabbed the still image of the exact moment when the monkey captured the pigeon. When taken out of context, it looks like the two are in an amorous embrace. Do you remember when the someone caught their dog and cat fighting in a room? But when they sent it out, it was written as love story. See pic below


Let's get real and stop encouraging these wannabe soap-opera writers. We need start seeing the true harsh reality of the wild kingdom. Let's bring back The Under Sea World of Jacque Cousteau, the Crocodile Hunter and other such shows. They are accurate! This on the other hand is fake, the Care Bears are fake, Rocky and Bullwinkle is fake. Let's remember that!

Baseball at Shea

This year the Amazings are in the running for the pennant. But the crowds at Shea were surprisingly low. I mean not incredibly low, but I got to move seats 3 times, eventually making it down to the near bottom. Going to the first level requires you showing your ticket to the ushers, making sure you really did pay for what you're getting. Here's a few pictures of the view. I didn't take a shot of our first seats in the upper deck, because it sucked so bad. But you can definitely see the difference between the last 2 seats. The crowds also get more rowdy as you get lower. I guess the real fans don't bother with shitty seats, and there's no sense in cheering when you nobody can hear you.

Cindy, an avid Mets fan, told me to eat the sausage and peppers, a Shea stadium classic. When your wash that down with your favorite beer and the Mets win, that's as close as you can get to perfection. Ohh yeah, the Mets beat the Atlanta Braves that night, 3-2.
