From The Mailbag

Eyyyyyyyy,

Ron I know your good at figuring out shit so here’s my porblem. Im at the butcher yesterday and my butcher Raplhie who’s a great guy he says to me Paulie he says what are you and Gina doin for your anniversary? Naturally i thoght he was disrecpting me so i tried jumping ovber the counter so icould tune him up wit hthe beef brisket i was carrying but then my boy Johnny tells me anniversary means just wyhen you and your girlfriend been together for longer than a couple weeks or some shit and also neither of you is dead. But yeah ron what the fuck?

Ballin’,

Paulie

Dear Paulie,

Your apprehension is well founded, but be of good cheer! Though a poorly planned anniversary is indeed occasion for keening and woe, stick to these tried and true anniversarial guidelines and you’ll soon find yourself suffused in a torrent of your love’s affection!

  • Don’t hit her.
Perhaps the most counter-intuitive rule of celebrating mutual love and admiration, but also the most important. Save it for the ride home, or at least until none of the Bennigan’s staff seems to be looking.
  • Wear a shirt.
Inconvenient? Absolutely. But these days, most miniature golf courses, batting cages and other such high-end establishments all but require upper-body attire. If you’re feeling especially ambitious, try throwing a pair of shoes into the mix.
  • Be other-centered.
Remember, this is as much her night as it is yours—so ask yourself, if I were a girl, would I want to spend my anniversary drinking barbicide at an illegal street race?

Best wishes and warmest regards,

Ron Konkoma

A Brief Introduction To Riding A Pennwards Subway

Though many subway riders may consider themselves versed in general train etiquette, comparatively few seem aware of the complex set of rules governing all trains bound for Penn Station. Here follow a few of the most important regulations.

  • Do not be a woman
  • If you must be a woman, do not be attractive
  • Do not weigh less than 250 pounds
  • Do not smell of anything but your own brackish musk, and perhaps the Jamaican beef patty you picked up at the bodega near your office

Factory distressed jeans.  In the history of clothing, no other pant has ever been so closely associated with success—and is it any wonder?  Consider, par exemple, these tastefully worn-in Dolce & Gabbanas: the carefree fronal rips proudly proclaim masculinity, while on the reverse side, a quietly dignified D&G logo suggests, “yes, I am discerning,” and, “yes, I knew what a good decision it would be to pay $300 for these pants.”  Available in blue, black, and gray.

Ron Konkoma’s Guide to Parenting in New York

  • You Are A Snowflake

As a parent, it’s safe to say that you are better than those without children, and as such, that you are no longer obligated to pay any heed to your surroundings or to observe in any way the trifling social conventions of the childless. So go ahead—change your baby on line at Chopt Salad. In fact, while you’re at it, be sure to fill other patrons in on the consistency and regularity of your child’s bowel movements. They’ll appreciate it.

  • These wheels were made for rolling

The word sidewalk is Latin in origin, and translates roughly as “Baby Stroller Highway.” So the next time a man, woman or child crosses your path, run them down—after all, etymology is on your side.

  • Name Your Child Aidyn

Or, if you’re looking for something more feminine, try Maginot Line (Maggie for short).

  • Violinist: (to seated man) Is there something you’d like to hear?
  • Seated man: (thinks for a minute) Cold Mountain.
  • Violinist: I’m sorry?
  • Seated man: Cold Mountain. You know, with Nicole Kidman? It’s got a violin song.
  • Violinist: Oh. ...I’m sorry, I don’t think I know that one.
  • Seated man: (thinks again) What about Cradle of Filth?
  • Violinist: Crater of...?
  • Seated man: Cradle of Filth. They’re a metal band. Sometimes they have a violin.
  • (silence)
  • Seated man: But mostly they just yell.
  • Violinist: Oh. ...I know Yesterday, by the Beatles. Would you like to hear Yesterday?
  • Seated man: (dejectedly) No.
  • Violinist: No? (priming background music) Well, this is an aria by Puccini—it’s really quite beautiful; I think you’ll like it.
  • Seated man: (gets up, walks to Cinnabon)

Classy Places To Take Your Date So As To Impress Her And Maybe Later Fuck Her, Part II

Dear Ron and Tony,

Sup? So my girl Janine and me didn’t get into Posh the other night but I got my brows waxed that day and I didn’t want to let my glow go to waste. but I needed some shit to do with her because i already took her to the deli and made her stand there and watch me eat shit until i threw up which is what we usually do. also we already went to the grand Lux But just like the Lux Janine is classy & she demands creativity when I take her out. so we were standing in the Source Mall circuit city tryin to intimidate the manager into givin us free blank CDs when i had i stroke up genius and I took her to Dave and Buster’s. Dave and Buster’s is the balls. they got like video games and bumpa cars and shit so at Dave and Buster’s I feel like I’m treating my broad to a family experience. so we got out of the Ollie’s cab (me and my girl are to good to walk ya gotta know how to do it right!) and I tipped the door man a C note so he treated Janine like royalty. We went straight to the whack a mole station and more other various attractions around DBs and what not including we played some DDR, won her a teddy bear, and we did laser bowling (that was sick) and the whole time i was able to drink as much miller light and eat as much popcorn chicken or shrimp as i wanted which was great. Janine couldn’t get into the bar which sucked cause i even got her a fake from the DMV where i work but i think the Carey High School track suit tipped them off. Kay serra. we did it in the bathroom anyway. I highly reccommend Dave and Busters.

From,

Joey Tots

Ways to Behave in Public, Part IV: The Courtly Dance
April hath put a spirit of youth in everything!, wrote The Bard.  So, as day waxes longer and one’s thoughts turn naturally to rosy-cheeked concupiscence, remember this adage, sure to win you the hand of your hamlet’s fairest maid!     
  Dance all up on her!  Bump, grind and ram until one of you is pregnant or security intervenes.  Really.  That’s it.

Driving In and Around New York: A Primer

  1. Whenever possible, pass on the right.
  2. Speed limits apply only to women and the Irish
  3. Take it personally: if someone merges in front of you, it’s probably got less to do with traffic flow than their brazen lack of respect for you and your extended family; resolve with violence
  4. Tinted windows, spoilers, and decals add an undeniable air of charm and sophistication to your automobile; they also make it faster.
  5. Stuck in a traffic jam? Honk your horn! It’s fun, it’s easy, and, best of all, it lets nearby drivers know that you’re important and have pressing business to attend to, thereby instantaneously dissolving gridlock.
