Goodbye, New York

Back to Acadia Home Page

After reviewing my page title, I hope the FBI does not investigate me. All I want to do is relate the tale of my last trip to NYC for quite a while. I am moving south. So for those of you who are familiar with the city, you won't be seeing anything new. But if you have never been - please take special note of these pics. They are the ones you would take if you were here. That's what I tried to think of as I was taking them. What would someone from a rectangle state take pictures of?

Superman Sells Handbags

There was too much traffic to get this guy's full suit, but it was complete. He even had boots. And he almost made me want to buy a knock off hand bag.

The Big Post Office

So - I am not sure if the main Manhatan Post Office counts as something you would go out of your way to see, but it is right across the street from Penn Station, so you would see it anyway. And it is significant for one thing. That saying about how "neither snow nor sleet..." thing is not a real Post Office Rule. It's just something they put on the building. Stupid architects, writing checks that the mail man is expected to cash.

Post Office

See the Saying Here

Empire State Building

We thought about going up tp the observation deck, but then realized that it was really cold, and the line was long. So here are some pics taken from the ground. These same pics are in millions of photo albums. You would have taken them, too. We also took one of the dramatic relief inside the lobby. It was warm in there.

American Museum of Natural History

If you saw 'Night at the Museum' then you know the museum we are talking about here. If you are a fan of dioramas, then you better run to this place. They had a 'Mythical Creatures' exhibit running, which is why we decided to go. But the exhibit sort of sucked. And by sort of, I mean that they didn't catch a single Leprechaun or have a diorama of the Turner Beast. Stuck up bastards. Read the captions and click the pics.

This altar looks like a bird bath, but people got their heads cut off on it. Chew on that.	This thing was in the movie. It's big. And it took me a while to get the shot. Some dipshit stood in front of it forever, knocking on it like it had a secret door in it. Jack ass.	I have to make a confession - all my pics of the whale sucked, so I stole this one. But I was standing in the same place. So screw you.
This is from the Mythical Creatues exhibit. We were not supposed to take pics in there. I think it was because everything in is sucked. This is the Chupacabra. It doesn't look real.	This is from the African and/or the South American sections. These are things people used to wear to scare their enemies. The peanut man is my favorite. He's a bad ass, that Peanut Man.	I think these particular guys would be very vulnerable to fire.
I just love people with those big plates in their lips. Always have.	This accurate representation of early hominids shows that the female of the species has always looked into space, thinking that they could have maybe done better.	ELEPHANTS! LOOK!
IN CASE YOU MISSED THE ELEPHANTS!	ELE...oh you know already....	The Mythical Creatures Exhibit had P.T. Barnum's FeeJee Mermaid. I think it's dead.
Dioramas Rule. Look at this elephant seal. He is looking at a UFO that I edited out.	This is a real gorilla. Well, a real dead stuffed gorilla.	This is a mythical giant gorilla. Or maybe it was real at some point. I find those cards that tell you things in museums racist and I don't read them.
These Hedges did not look good in daylight, when we went in. But they were nice lit up. But who isn't nice when they're lit up?	I call this: Horror Fish.	Mmmmm, Mastodon bones. I am just gonna say 'mmmm' in front of any bone pics. Cause I had ribs last week and mmmmm.
The stuffed moose diorama I have in my house shows them driving a car and laughing. To each his own, but this is too violent for me.	Mmmmm...velociraptor or something similar bones...	I am putting the pics up in alphabetical order, but this was the last one taken. This bird took the camera and I had to go on a quest to get it back. Don't worry, though. I'm Okay.
If you want to know what the outside of the dioramas look like, this is it. This is the only one with a skateboarding skunk, though.	Avast! Flying Squid!	This diorama looked so real that I cropped out everything but the tiger so you could get a sense of the realnicity.
This old ass tree has historical dates applied to it's rings. Humans are puny.	This is a higher quality pic of the tree thing.	This is a very Dark UHQ close up of the tree dates. I realize now I like this tree.
Mmmm...T-Rex Bones. I bet he was good at filing since his arms were so short.	Mmmmm...the Triceratops that worked with Fred Flintstone bones....	Mmmm...Unicorn...wait. This unicorn is not real. Real boring, maybe. I was so disappointed in that exhibit. :(
Walrus Diorama. They are bigger than you think!	Last but actually best, the wolf diorama made me wonder where the wolves were going. I hope it was to kill a Hitler-Deer.	These pictures brought to you by Teddy Roosevelt. Thanks, Ted.

City Sights

Here is some touristy stuff!

The employees of the paper of record need to work somewhere!

While taking a touristy picture around Times Square, I caught someone with a Statue of Liberty hat. I wish I had one.

I didn't buy anything from this guy, but I did look at the shiny lights! If he had a Statue of Liberty hat, it might have gone differently.

St. Patricks Cathedral - God let's you in if you are cold.

This makes me want to read The Pillars of the Earth again.

I told you God would let us in.

Atlas shrugged at the Cloud Boner the sculptor gave him.

Radio City Music Hall, as seen from behind some big Christmas Balls

This parking sign is significant, as it marks the beginning of the Christmas Tree area of the city. They do not screw around up there.

The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree

I am going to shut up so you can just click the pics. The Angels, the Tree, the Statue, the Tower, the Skating Rink, all things that it is good to enjoy once every few years.

Merry

Christmas!

Goodbye, New York.

See you soon.
