Nothing less than “You Majesty” will make me happy. So the rest of the world has to bow down and make me happy.

Well, Half the DNA on the NYC Subway Matches No Known Organism, so a few wayward pronouns in a taxi really are par for the course in the Big Apple...

Liberals are idiots. There is no respect in calling people these childishly made up pronouns.

Taxi, Barney Miller, and others from that era are still light years ahead of the modern stuff.

Louie DePalma was some piece of work.

Alex I liked best. He was the sensible one.
