Not quite the roof, but a few floors below and much warmer. The neighbors were making a lot of noise putting up that new World Trade Center.
I wonder what would happen if someone were to clip a feedline to a tower on the GWB and tune up....
He'd end up talking to Rich Little posing as the ghost of George Washington.
Quagmire: Wait a second.
Joe: Yeah, no shit.
Peter: What?
Quagmire: Peter, that's not Ronald Reagan. That's Rich Little! [to the ham radio] You're Rich Little!
Joe: He must be on his own ham radio!
Rich Little: [imitating Johnny Carson] Ah, well, uh, you know, Ed, the kids say you gotta go viral to promote yourself these days.
Peter: So, this is not Reagan?
Quagmire: No, it's Rich Little. He's an impressionist. He's been screwing with your head.
Peter: Well, this thing is worthless! Like my Palestinian alarm clock.
I don't quite understand. I take it that the "church" is not an actual conventional church building but is part of a large building in which a floor of the building is used as a church.Quote:

The Church was on the 40th Floor of 250 Greenwich St. Nice views but you didn't notice that after the first visit. The message was that compelling. Wasn't a week that went by that I didn't learn something. That's what church should be like. They were also open to all. One of three things I miss about NYC is going to that church. The other two are Greek Moussaka and Fish & Chips.Quote:

Oh and please don't call it the GWB... most of us would like to forget... Mister Stupid.
Last time I crossed the GWB the toll was $35. Couldn't believe it.
