RANDOM THOUGHTS: GOING THROUGH TIMES SQUARE

I passed one place on Eighth Avenue called the "Chicken Bar", so I went in and asked for a breast and wing, shaken, not stirred. … I did manage to catch the "Dog the Bounty Hunter Christmas Special", a tender story in which Dog & Crew reunite a grandmother and her family after she skipped out on bail on a series of check kiting charges.  ... Wouldn't it be appropriate to refer to the participants of "The Biggest Loser" as "Teletubbies"?  ... New Jersey is swearing in a new governor and state legislators soon and that can only mean one thing in the Garden State, the indictment season is about ready to open. ... In discussing some residual auto damage with my daughter and her driving, she said, "I'm usually careful." I said, "Yes, except for those three accidents, everything is pretty good." I think she has a future in PR: "There were 362 days without accidents and only three with them."
