    All too broad 80's style I'm sure.

    I've probably seen the mosaic before, though I can't recall specifically. I hate Manhattan and avoid it like the plague.

    What do you think of when someone brings up Brooklyn?

          1.Laurel & Hardy. They regularly claimed in their films that they bought the bridge.

          2.Chewing Gum. Very famous brand in Italy.

          3.Brooklyn 1949. One of my army T-shirts.

              From http://gonyc.about.com/cs/atozinde1/a/bigapple.htm

              In the early 1920s, "apple" was used in reference to the many racing courses in and around New York City. Apple referred to the prizes being awarded for the races -- as these were important races, the rewards were substantial.
              Based on the research of Barry Popik, the use of "Big Apple" to refer to New York City became clearer. Popik found that a writer for the New York Morning Telegraph, John Fitzgerald, referred to New York City's races "Around the Big Apple." It is rumored that Fitzgerald got the term from jockeys and trainers in New Orleans who aspired to race on New York City tracks, referring to the "Big Apple."
              In the late 1920s and early 1930s, New York City's jazz musicians began referring to New York City as the "Big Apple." An old saying in show business was "There are many apples on the tree, but only one Big Apple." New York City being the premier place to perform was referred to as the Big Apple.
              A 1971 campaign to increase tourism to New York City adopted the Big Apple as an officially recognized reference to New York City. The campaign featured red apples in an effort to lure visitors to New York City. It was hoped that the red apples would serve as a bright and cheery image of New York City, in contrast to the common belief that New York City was dark and dangerous. Since then, New York City has officially been The Big Apple.
              In recognition of Fitzgerald, the corner of 54th & Broadway, where Fitzgerald lived for 30 years, was renamed "Big Apple Corner" in 1997.

                          I didn't even know there was a movie? I've only seen a documentary. Quick...only 3 years to buy your dream car

                          I don't know? Sounds like something Alice Cooper would say.

                              The Governator... I almost wanted to say Peter Parker's Late Uncle... in his last words to Peter Parker.

                              It's weird to see so many different cult groups and twisted wizardries all believe that the end of world is in 2012. Of course, I do not believe those claims. Scientists never made this claim, neither do any of the mainstream religions.
