NYC Snow Report

broadway · January 16, 2011, 07:31:53 AM

Hey Dom,

That does sound like fun, but pushing a shopping cart down Thompson St. isn't easy... none the less, a garbage truck with a plow. I haven't seen a Molien, but I'm gonna google it. Everything is fun in oyur twenties, though I'm only 34 I do see the difference. The difference really showed itself on New Years when I recovered four days later... ain't doing that again till next year! By the way, NYC Sanitation did a great job with this last snow storm... Bloomberg still sucks!

Hey Dom! I don't think you are going to find Molien or Moline as in snow plow. I think the snow plows had a legend on the side that said made in Moline, Ill. The name is like the word Spaldeen, a pink ball made by Spalding. Names were bastardized. They became their own slang. Thinking back on a Moline, the cab looked like a single sea cab that you would see on a backhoe. It had big wheels and was probably no longer than 15' with an 8' plow on the front. The best part was it had a heater in the cab. Dominick

I hear ya on the bastardized names... most people can't even understand when my father talks unless their from old NY. For example: vegetable is pronounced vegable, sandwich is sanguich, toilet is turlet, my favorite is frutation meant to be fruition:) Gotta love it! I know what you mean on the heater being the best part. The first pick up plow we had (for 1 month) had no heat... felt like my feet were blocks of ice! Stay warm my friend

Watch the old reruns of All In The Family and take language lessons from Archie Bunker. Oh, crap! I just dated myself. Well, probably Dominick and Alan know who I'm talking about.
