My extreeeeeeeeeeeemely prolifically-blogging friend Eric of the veeeeeeeeeeeery often-updated Park Slope Scope sent me this awesome photo the other day of one of the new blue-seated subway cars that have been slowly integrated into the NYC transportation system over the past five years, replacing the ones with the supposed-to-be-cheerful-but-instead-just-look-grimy-and-also-who-decided-on-that-taupe-colored-wallpaper-for-the-walls? orange and red seats.

Clearly, this is a take-out box of chicken fingers and fries with a Slurpee from one of the handful of 7-Elevens that exist in Manhattan.  Which, by the way, never made sense to me.  You don’t have a Dairy Queen or a Panera, but you have multiple 7-Elevens?

Yet when I showed this to two separate friends, both somehow believed that the blue part of the photo was the sky and asked me things like, “Why is that Slurpee floating in the clouds?” and “Why is there a line down the sky?”

I don’t understand what I did to deserve this.
