So the 7 train exemption will cost more than anticipated. In other shocking revelations, two plus two equals four and the Sun rises in the east.
Wow, they are trying to do too many transit projects at the same time and, as a result, none of them are getting done? Who'd have thunk that one?
That Lindsey Lohan letter is ATROCIOUS.
Doesn't she have "people"? Or spell or grammar check on her computer? GOOD LORD, what an insult to Altman. She's a lesser actress and should never have been given the opportunity to work with him in the first place.
uuuuuuuummmm Nestor....that's not my dog doin that.....
How awesome of a name is Nestor?
Sounds like a Godzilla foe, or maybe a foil to Spiderman. Some man, probably an ornithologist, caught in a nuclear/biological hazard causing an avian-human genetic recombinant genetic mutation.
