New York Shitty Day Ender: Thought For The Day

February 21, 2010 ·
Filed under: 11206, Criminal Activity, East Williamsburg, East Williamsburg Brooklyn 

Since a significant number of today’s posts have featured criminal activity of one stripe or another I will leave you this evening with this item from East Williamsburg— and a thought.

If you are going to purloin a piece of public property it might be a good idea not to showcase it in the front window of your apartment. The only thing that cries out “arrest me” more would be wearing this bad boy around your neck a la Flava Flav. Preferably with a Viking helmet.

NoLita Recession Watch: Let Them Eat Caviar

Tonight the Mister and I showed some friends from out of town the sights in Little Italy. When I saw the following (which hails from Mott Street) I stopped dead in my tracks.

My god, WHO would buy— much less be seen in public— such a thing? Only a certifiable asshole would carry a handbag like this.

No one in our party saw fit to disagree with the aforementioned observation. Then I noticed another item of interest in same said window.

I guess there aren’t as many assholes in New York City as there used to be.

Who says the recession is necessarily a bad thing?

Under ordinary circumstances I would have presumed the author of this missive to sport a bat or two in his belfry. But thanks to the MTA’s sterling idea to suspend both G and 7 train service this weekend my journey to and from Manhattan this evening was anything but ordinary. I’ll leave it your imagination, dear readers, to figure out who your truly thinks has a screw loose.

East Williamsburg Recession Watch Part II: Graham Avenue

While I do not condone criminal activity I have to confess the trucker bomb is a very nice coup de grace. A final “fuck you” to “the man”, if you know what I mean.

East Williamsburg Recession Watch Part I: Montrose Avenue

If Mike of 29 Montrose Avenue is reading this someone would very much like to be compensated. In closing I would feel remiss if I didn’t point out that although this building has yet to be completed, it is already richly appointed with iron oxide.

Nice.
