&lt;p&gt;The instructions were simple.  Tweet or Facebook message him your destination and he aimed to get you there.  Hundreds of requests and 14 hours later, Mark had completed what he set out to do. Provided New Yorkers with a free cab ride, picking up a tab totaling $486 dollars and getting to act completely like himself.  Such antics include but not limited to:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1) Pasting Tony Danza’s face all over the cab’s exterior.  &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This seemed like the right move.  Angela’s face was probably already taken.  And probably got him free cannolis when he went through Little Italy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2) Proposing to an old woman&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even though Mark is married, that didn’t stop him from flirting/proposing with a Grandma.  Sure, she’s old, but on the bright side he’ll always have a lifetime supply of hard candies. Genius.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3) Random Guy helps him shave&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At this point Mark probably wants to see what he can get away with.  He gets a guy to help him shave and then shrieks like a scared girl.  Totally worth it for comedy.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://thatssonyc.com/post/10816272478</link><guid>http://thatssonyc.com/post/10816272478</guid><pubDate>Thu, 29 Sep 2011 15:58:08 -0400</pubDate><category>nyc,</category><category>free cab rides,</category><category>new york,</category><category>cab</category><category>free</category><category>mark malkoff</category><category>mydamnchannel</category><category>comedy</category><category>new york cabs</category></item><item><title>natashakotovsky:

&lt;p&gt;“Current Events with your Mom - New day, new events, but do Scott &amp; Tash actually talk about current events?  Or just drink 40s?  Lets find out…”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3rd episode is up, edited by yours truly. Please like, follow, reblog or comment. BUT DON’T drink and drive. It’s way too much multitasking.&lt;/p&gt;

What went through this guy’s head that THAT was a good idea?  Did he wake up and think “I want to look like a creepy pedophile today”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Why can’t we eat donuts and chocolate whilst working on our fitness?  What do you think about during your workouts? I think about the food I’m going to eat,  Scott thinks about starving himself. This should be good.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I honestly think this is pretty genius and funny ad.  I mean, who HASN’T fallen asleep on the subway at 3am only to wake up in a strange and weird place!? Not that I’d want an iced coffee at 3am after a night of drinking, but still the ad is funny and only pokes fun at the fact that Far Rockaway is far as shit. &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://thatssonyc.com/post/6357766603</link><guid>http://thatssonyc.com/post/6357766603</guid><pubDate>Thu, 09 Jun 2011 13:34:27 -0400</pubDate><category>funny ad,</category><category>nyc</category><category>subway</category><category>mcdonalds</category><category>funny</category></item><item><title>MTA Plans to Replace Metrocards with Sensor System</title><description>&lt;a href="http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2011/05/mta_plans_to_replace_metrocard.html"&gt;MTA Plans to Replace Metrocards with Sensor System&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;Wow - so futuristic and yet so dated.  Didn’t gas stations roll out this technology like 10 years ago?  We all saw how that caught on…&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In other unsurprising news - Charlie Sheen Booed off stage in NYC.  The former Two and Half Men star is currently travelling the U.S. with his - My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat Is Not An Option - Tour.  To date, the tour has received mixed reviews.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hey Charlie, rather than create a slapped together “Conan-esque shove it to the network executives who fired you” tour, you should stick with the things you’re good at.  You know…porn stars, drugs, trashed hotel rooms, and 3am Youtube ramblings.  THAT’S the Charlie Sheen we have grown to love.  Not this crap.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://thatssonyc.com/post/4470850855</link><guid>http://thatssonyc.com/post/4470850855</guid><pubDate>Sat, 09 Apr 2011 13:32:43 -0400</pubDate><category>charlie sheen</category><category>sheen</category><category>tmz</category><category>NYC</category><category>sheen booed</category></item><item><title>You know how when you get on an New York City bus you always...</title><description>&lt;iframe width="400" height="243" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/uv916r2UcaU?wmode=transparent&amp;autohide=1&amp;egm=0&amp;hd=1&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;You know how when you get on an New York City bus you always think to yourself: “Ughhh.  Why is this god damn bus soo slow!?  I could probably walk faster than this damn bus.”  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well…Mark Malkoff of MyDamn Channel actually races a bus on his Big Wheels bike to prove just how slow it is.     &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;New dress code for cabbies, really!?  That seems like a sound investment.  What’s on the agenda: Khakis and Polo for a business casual door to door experience?  Or would it be more of a formal affair with tuxedo service?  Here’s a wild thought: just get me to my destination without putting up a fight.  Regardless of how hilariously unnecessary a dress code would be, why not invest in something New Yorkers would truly care about.  Say…English as a second language classes.  Just throwing that out there.  Or how about simple etiquette classes.  I can’t tell you how many times I”think” the cabbie is asking me a follow up directional question, but in reality he is merely talking into his hands-free headset.  Great now I feel like an asshole.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://thatssonyc.com/post/1687822707</link><guid>http://thatssonyc.com/post/1687822707</guid><pubDate>Thu, 25 Nov 2010 23:53:00 -0500</pubDate><category>cabbies</category><category>nyc</category><category>new york</category><category>new york city</category><category>funny</category><category>cabs</category><category>taxis</category><category>taxi</category></item><item><title>Levi’s does not discriminate.</title><description>&lt;img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8r0kxQKVI1qbxmako1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Levi’s does not discriminate.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://thatssonyc.com/post/1121771343</link><guid>http://thatssonyc.com/post/1121771343</guid><pubDate>Tue, 14 Sep 2010 13:58:09 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>New York Subway Spoiler Alert Signs Added on L Train</title><description>&lt;a href="http://laughingsquid.com/new-york-subway-spoiler-alert-signs-help-preserve-sense-of-adventure/"&gt;New York Subway Spoiler Alert Signs Added on L Train&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://laughingsquid.com/wp-content/uploads/spoiler-alert-20100824-093019.jpg" width="541" height="361"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wait…is that the L train coming?  Yes?  No?  Maybe?  How about possibly.  To find out if a train is approaching, you can try the classic NYC thing; which is leaning over the side of the subway platform just hoping to spot a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.  Another option is to just play it cool and wait for a artificial breeze from the distance.  Out of nowhere you will say “I feel a train approaching.” This will result in your slower minded friends in thinking that you have E.S.P.  Though, recently you can take the easy route and get “spoiled” by the countdown LED signs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://newmindspace.com/"&gt;New Mind Space&lt;/a&gt; and Jason Eppink are the clever minds behind the recent addition of “spoiler alert” signs on the L train line.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These were their motives behind it:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Their primary effect, then, is to erode faith in the  system, to create expectations that can’t always be met, to raise false  hopes, and to erase the mystery and magic of the wondrous system that  transports more than five million riders a day.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These LED signs also threaten historical social behaviors, rendering  obsolete the time-honored New York tradition of leaning over the  platform edge with the hope of glimpsing headlights from an approaching  train.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Spoiler Alert signs warn waiting riders of this potentially  unwanted information – allowing them to avert their eyes so they may  preserve their spirit of adventure – while still leaving visible the  data for travelers who wish to ruin the surprise for themselves.&lt;/p&gt;
