The hungry cabbie is just a new little blog so be nice to it. It's written by a cab driver in NYC about the food he eats on the job and where he finds it.

Cool link. Thanks gaspode

Though reading about cabbies always makes me wonder - who the hell are they talking to on the phone all day? Each other? It seems like 4/5ths of the time I'm in a cab, the driver spends the whole time gabbing on his headset. Even if I tried really hard, I don't think I could find someone to talk to all day like that.

Umm, mullacc, what do you talk about on Metachat all day?

Exactly.

If metachat were a conference call rather than a message board, I'd be silent 98% of the day. The 10 second conversation we just had was stretched out over 25 minutes.

Ok, pot, I get it, the kettle is black.

I love this paragraph:

Once, when I was the only one at the lunch counter, a three piece mariachi band walked through the door in full "Ayyyyyyy Yiiiiiiiii Ya Ya YIIII," played for a few minutes, and walked out with some roasted chicken gratis. You don’t get much more character than that in a rice and beans joint.
