About the state Senate drama
"And just when I thought the situation at the state couldn't get any weirder...well let's just say that I have been forced to re-evaluate the true definition of weirdness."

About supermarkets
"I'd like to see Trader Joe's build a gigantic colony on an asteroid somewhere, blanketing the landscape with their processed food and cheap wine. It could be called "Planet Trader Joe's" and we could ship all of these irritating Trader Joe's advocates up there, where they can live blissfully among aisles of frozen pasta dinner bags and Kashi cereal ripoffs -- and finally stop posting comments on every blog entry that mentions any kind of grocery store, finally, forever."

Finally, forever, just us, our cheap wine, and blog comments. Forever."

About Danielle Furfaro
"Danielle is easily the coolest person I know. She lives life the way we all should but too few do: full contact. "

About Capital Pride 2009
"Wait. Bette Midler is Miss Gay Albany?"

About 400-year-old maps
"Cape Cod looked a lot more muscular back then."

About Price Chopper's new gasoline discount program -- which requires the AdvantEdge card
"When I can buy groceries at Price Chopper and not get charged extra because I refuse to show them an identification card, I'll think about shopping there again. Until then Hannaford gets all my money."
... said CJ
"CJ, I happened to find an AdvantEgde keychain card while leaving the Colonie Center cinema the other night. This was super convenient because I was planning to stop for milk and Miller High Life anyway (don't ask) and grabbed buy one get two free english muffins."
... said B
"Milk and Miller High Life...... that takes the cake over my recent purchase of forties and a pregnancy test!"
... said juboba
"Will all due respect to those with privacy concerns, I really couldn't care less about Price Chopper knowing what I buy. The only juicy secret they might dig up from my recent shopping history is that I took advantage of their 10 for $10 offer on one particular brand of pasta to stock my cupboard. Twice."
... said Pete
About Tool's
"Good old Tools! My step fathers favorite spot in town.. and one of those regulars you mentioned. No other diner would do when I had a day off school or called out 'sick'. There's a very homey feel to it that I like.. must be the mini-bar behind the counter."

About Albany's aging infrastructure
"Re: the sewer system; I was starting to get worried during the storm because my toilet started to make these god awful gurgling and bubbling noises. I thought the clown from IT was going to climb out."
... said Summer
About getting down to Fiddy Cent
"Listening to "Curtis Jackson" sounds so much more dreamy than "50 cent", Chinstrap- you've got yourself a keeper."
... said Litt1eMinx
About probing buses
"So the aliens like 'em big and blue, eh? Well, at least it wasn't a group probing. 'Cause that would be wrong."
... said CJ
Say Something!
We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.

Commenting on comments seems a little meta. Where does it end?

@ mirdreams - how about commenting on someone who is commenting on a comment.

We have officially exceeded the meta quota for this week. Carry on.
