    See chain stores? This could have been a mom and pop if you weren't clogging our retail space. Bastards. #scaffoldingcollapse

    Upon hearing that their local mailbox was going to be removed by the Postal Service, neighborhood residents banned together to pay a special effects unit to take the mailbox out themselves, paying homage to the way Michael Landon led residents of Walnut Grove to burn their town rather then hand it over to developers.

    I see Alex Karras as the mailbox. #scaffoldingcollapse

    @unclevanya: OMG I love that episode!

    And what's with all the mailbox closures, BTW? They closed the one on my block right in the middle of a huge busy area. #scaffoldingcollapse

    Dueling, racing taxicabs cause tons of twisted steel to fall on a street corner where out-of-towners congregate?
    Wow. Taxicab driver's hostility towards tourists is really getting out of hand. #scaffoldingcollapse

    Any reports by Balloon Boy's father on his kid's whereabouts before the collapse? Because "Scaffolding Boy" has a really nice ring to it. #scaffoldingcollapse

    You know the original Taking of Pelham 1-2-3? The scene where the police car flips after dodging a delivery bike happened just on the other side of the block. #scaffoldingcollapse

    I walked out of the subway right into the knocked over mail box just minutes after the accident. A policeman hollered. He asked me, rather gruffly why I would want to walk through the carnage. Didn't know about the accident and no one had closed the entrance/exit to the subway. Halloween, marathon and time change all in one weekend, geesh #scaffoldingcollapse

    This has been a weird day. An off-duty cop blew through a stop sign today and drove into our car, and his girlfriend stood there yelling: "Oh.. he's got a witness. Yes he does.. he's got a witness." #scaffoldingcollapse

    So, alls I have to look out for when walking NYC streets are:

    - Rapists
    - Asshole Cabbies
    - Anonymous Stabbers
    - Rogue Bullets
    - Rabid Tourists

    ...and now

    - Scaffolding

    How the hell did I make it 26 years here? #scaffoldingcollapse

    Cab drivers=homicidal maniacs. Now let's hear again from their union guy about how vital it is for them to be on cellphones unceasingly. I mean, Obama when he travels isn't in communication with the White House as much. #scaffoldingcollapse

    @TheBusinessGuy: I noticed that when I was back in NY in September. Every damn cabbie, yellow, gypsy or car service, yacked all through every ride. They're cracking down throughout Europe:
