Rubbish & Scabby The Rat

I know some numbskull rats who actually worship these big blow up Scabby’s. It’s always the same: They rub his inflatable tail and pray: “Dear Scabby, please make the Sanitation Men go on strike”. Shamefully, rats generally think on a small scale.

Sixth Borough: Old Future

The thing I like about THE FUTURE is that it’s already happened seven thousand billion times already.  You don’t have to wait for it to happen.  If you look for, it’s all over the place.  In a puddle, at the bank, in a parking garage.  Here is some good future stuff for you.  None of it is computer generated.

In honor of Rubbish the Rat, I’m posting these Chinese Take-Out Storefronts.  Anybody who knows the Sixth Borough knows that the Southern end of Sorgum Ave. is literally wall-to-wall Take-Outs.  Some might say Great-Wall-to-Great-Wall.
