Random Running Reflections

Sometimes the iPod isn't sufficiently entertaining.

I'm sure you've seen the latest advertising campaign for Manhattan Mini Storage. You know, the ones featuring nude models doing things like peeking into an empty closet alongside the catchphrase "Maybe we make this too easy" or something along those lines. Anyway, I certainly don't have any complaints that these ads have "gone too far"... A little billboard nudity is a nice surprise from time to time. But, one particular advertisement, displayed on West End Avenue near 57th street, featuring a brunette woman's backside made me look twice: It was quite apparent that only the bottom half of her ass crack was displayed! The top half had been airbrushed off and this is the truth! Maybe the model had an especially high-rising crack, I really don't know. But either way, something was erased from this model and I propose it be returned.

I was opening up a bag of bread today to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and something written on the plastic wrapping caught my eye : "Sliced Sandwich Bread." I'm still on the hunt for "Sliced, Non-sandwich Bread."

And finally, why is it that whatever combination of discarded items are lumped together in a trash bag on the sidewalk, they always give off that same smell universally recognized as "garbage smell?" How is it possible that so many people so easily replicate this exact scent? I swear someone out there has a recipe for this smell.
