The very rare Togglefish

[Versatronic]

I just wanted to throw up some pictures of my visit to NYC last weekend. On the left there is Versatronic. On the right is Toggle. And in the middle is a trinket I picked up in Chinatown. Check out the climate controlled baby buggy to the left. It was hobo-killing cold all day long.

The very rare Togglefish

We spent quite a bit of time at the New York Hall Of Science in Flushing Meadows. The Unisphere is still standing close to the Hall. It was fascinating finding out how Flushing Meadows got its name, unless Toggle was just laying it on heavy. But anyway, we spent hours in the Hall Of Science. Below is the very rare, hardly ever seen Togglefish. I just had to delete lots of sentences here. I promised I’d be nice.

The Hall Of Science is great for kids and for adults. Especially when the presenter of the “Extreme Microbs” lecture and demonstration is half your age and openly flirting with you during the demonstration. But that’s another story. Toggle had a good time playing around with the scale model of the U.S. Powergrid and was especially proud of himself when he figured out a way to shut off the power to Manhattan.

 

[Versatronic]

Something for everyone there

But like I said, the Hall has something for everyone. But our visit to the hall was cut a little short when Toggle couldn’t keep his hands off the live Mining Exhibition. We were ushered out of the place and Toggle was charged with Corruption Of Miners. But we had seen most of what we wanted to see by that point anyway. We headed off to Chinatown and bought more layers of clothing every few blocks from the street vendors. But then we saw Dead Ducks hanging in a window, we knew we found a safe haven in which to get warm and enjoy Chinese like it should taste.

The End

OMG is that light coming out of his mouth?

I mean I KNEW the man spoke golden nuggets occasionally, but JEEEEZZZZ.

I have heard of Saint John Chrissostom, (the golden-mouthed)
but Saint Toggle photo-stom?

Mike, fess up boy. Tell them it was not I who picked up a young Chinese boy but rather your GF's son. (She was taking the picture). [I SWEAR she, Nancy, is NOT a figment of his imagination Veg].

And Flushing Queens WAS named by the Queens of England (not the Queen of Mineola, dear) after the flush toilet invented by Thomas Crapper. It was a huge advancement in sanitition in its day. The nieghboring borough is Brooklyn also known as King's County. And yes her land is DEFINITELY bigger than his.

OOOPPS it's Saint John Chrysostom

transliteration.....not my best subject, either

That's no baby buggy in pic #1, it looks more like Louis driving his Smart car. Great pics

 

[Versatronic]

That's my GF's kid

Hey, I said the Chinese kid was a trinket "I" picked up. I didn't imply anything about you and the kid. Don't make me sorry I showed such restraint. I had to leave out a lot of A material due to my promise that I'd behave, and it killed me.

 

[toggleswitch]

I just love icons. And I do mean the type before picture-buttons on computers.

The golden aura depicted around the saints is one psychic and other sensitve/trained people can actually see. It represents knowledge.

For the most-part the garments depicted are those of a typical Eastern Orthodox priest even to this day.

Female, 20-ish, pretty and intense. She worked him OVER with her eyes. oh yes.

 

[Versatronic]

Icon

The first icon says Modern Greek under it. Where the hell are you talking this thread, anyway?

 

[toggleswitch]

Smart car... LOL ROFL LMAO

 

[Versatronic]

Wanna see my paramecium?

Toggle, she found me after the lecture and started talking to me when I was looking through one of those microscopes. I looked around nervously to see where Nancy was but I couldn't see anyone at that point because everyone had kind of split up. I had a feeling I was going to get in big trouble.

 

[toggleswitch]

i am taking it away from SMUT. LOL

 

[toggleswitch]

More than you ever needed to know.

Moving further from smut, and to show I do have a side to me other than the trash I show on the site..

The caption says *Saint John* and smaller--- the Golden-mouthed.

The hand gesture is IC XC (Where the X is the ring finger and thumb crossed.) It means *Jesus the Christ*

and the saint either had a claw like a lobster or the painter was challenged with that right hand OMG.

[toggleswitch]

Just let me ramble. i will be fine. LOL

 

[Versatronic]

The third rail

OK, well you ramble, and I'll wrap up my part of this. Toggle is an excellent tour guide and a font of knowledge. This is the second person I've met from applianceville and both where just walking encyclopedias. It really blows me away. Toogle was explaining how everything works for the benefit of the kid but I was equally as facinated. And I'll never urinate on the third rail no matter how drunk I get in the future.

 

[petek]

I'm impressed, I didn't know Toggle could speak Cantonese, or is it Mandarin ?

 

[toggleswitch]

She wanted to show you more than a paramecium.

Mike:

I know!

Even I was noticing that the young lady was apparently interested in *ahem* someone. I purposely got outta there to extracate myself from the equation.

 

[toggleswitch]

Only in NYC AD/DC everywhere.

Salty pee stream makes a good conductor. LOL and 600v DC is not a joke.

OK OK don't hold back./LOL

 

[toggleswitch]

With my blessings.

Rip me a new one. (ER.. figuratively only).

PeteK you are KILLING me. LOL

 

[Versatronic]

What are you saying Toggle?

I can't speak Chinese, but I'll tell you, no one likes to eat Chinese like I do.

 

[toggleswitch]

Said: I'm impressed, I didn't know Toggle could speak Cantonese, or is it Mandarin ?

It was actually Szechwan (cuisine) wasn't it? LOL
[On the map large grey coded, middle province]

and, darn.... if Nancy had spoken Chinese in the retaurant on Canal Street in Chinatown we would prolly have gotten genuine rice bowls.

[toggleswitch]

OMG MIKE. ROLF

Vertical smile, horizontal smile. Whateva.

 

[toggleswitch]

Would you be offeneded if I said I had some that day too and it was quite tasty?

Can't beat authentic. LOL

 

[Versatronic]

Signing off...

I'm signing off now. I'm afraid of where this might go. I might end up posting my original captions to the pictures and we don't want that. Thanks again Toggle. Nancy gave me the camera yesterday as a birthday present so now I'm armed and dangerous.

 

[toggleswitch]

Good night. Thanks for the laughs.

no one speaks English in NYC.
BIG SURPISE.

[toggleswitch]

Make a wish and blow

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU !

 

[frigilux]

I can only imagine the mayhem the four of you stirred up. Toggle, I think many of us here at AW.ORG would pay good money for your own version of a Sagat-esque guide to NYC, LOL!

Thanks for posting the pics, too, versatronic.

 

[toggleswitch]

as Bob Barker says....

WELL COME ON DOWN!

I appear to have a great approval rating. LOL. As I was chatting to a club friend who has not yet met me in person, he stated that all the reviews of those who HAVE been to meet me is great. --blush-- It just never occured to me. LOL

But in all seriousness. I love to be social and I love all the peeps on this site and my city has a lot to ofer.

You are officially invited.

Here's another ethnic song for ya.. (hey at least they are TUNES and not VOICES in my damn head..)

make my day
call me
a moment of yours..
stays eons (forever) with me...
