Word Of The Day: Clusterfuck
Per Urban Dictionary:
Traditionally/originally of military origin.
Today, however, “clusterfuck” is commonly used to descriptively generalize any situation with a large scale of disarray.
possibly synonyms: mess, disaster
1. “Well, that concert was a clusterfuck.”
2. “Did you see the clusterfuck of a traffic jam on Main St.?”
3. “That house party turned into a giant clusterfuck once those cops showed up!”
4. See: East 3 Street between Avenue A and Avenue B.
I have a confession to make: inasmuch as I hate bicycles (or after the local entrepreneurs thieves get to them: carcasses of bicycles) piled chock-a-block on street signs I rather like this.

The word did not prepare me for the image. Perhaps we need to alter it to “uberclusterfuck”? A sight like this needs a prefix!
This is awesome.
I actually saw that yesterday… and was thinking as I stopped to look at it, that if it was in GP, I would have seen it here on this blog. And so the end of the world begins…
That’s pretty incredible. But how can you hate bicycles? I realized yesterday that my bike is my best friend. I’m going to cry when I have to put it away for the winter.
Maybe it’s bicyclists you can’t stand?? I personally hate all of car culture with a passion, yet I was almost relieved this summer when I got my bike stolen. It meant that I wouldn’t be taking part in the single most dangerous aspect of my life, riding the car-stanked streets of brooklyn. And as annoyed I am with drivers, I share equal disdain for every single bicyclist out there who rides the wrong way on a one way street, flies past red lights and disregards all traffic laws all while listening to their iPod. And then expects sympathy when they get mowed over. Idiots.
