The Unpaid Interns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We are so grateful for their service! They hung a sign on their door that says “Smoked Turkey”, but when we entered their office, they were smoking with the turkeys. They were sitting around with hookahs and hand-rolled cigarettes. The air was thick with smoke – not tobacco smoke, but something that smelled like a cross between cow manure and lawn clippings. The interns and the turkeys all seemed to be in a good mood, and found just about everything hilarious. Oh, these kids today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rutabaga Room<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Let’s move on to the Rutabaga Room<\/strong>. Some of the older staff member, in their formal Druid robes, have a love of rutabagas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, we’ve had to sequester them, due to the associated digestive issues. We’ve added industrial strength ventilation, and emergency gas masks hang at the entrance. Could be an OSHA issue.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Parade<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The NYC restraining order has expired, and we were able to once again participate in the Macy’s Day Parade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
