I said hello to Jack Cafferty on the subway. We were all coming back from a Yankee game. He also mentioned it's the best way to get to the stadium. He was a very nice guy and was there with his sons. But then I was 14 then, maybe he didn't wanna be nasty to a kid. Still a nice guy.

k - a friend said she saw John Waters and just as she was about to gush and say how much she loved his films, he gave her the evil eye and she never said a word.

Ben - I don't know, but if I were "famous" I'd avoid the subway just so I didn't get trapped in a car with crazy people who would bug me. I'm sure it's more about that. Famous people take cabs.

You're a real CHUD, do you know that? A real fucking CHUD! How can you eat so many people? How can you STAND yourself?

Too bad Devine isn't around for the casting of Pink Flamingos meet CHUD. She could choke to death while eating a conductor's hand. Is Mink Stole still around?

While this clearly belongs in the "things not to get worked up over" category, I hate this statement: "People always ask me what I’m doing on the subway..." Who are these ridiculous people? Sure, the subway has its problems, but it's by and large the best way to get around the city. And it's the cheapest option BY FAR. People who eschew the subway because of their residual prejudices from the 1970s and 1980s really need to get over it already.
