For the newer readers out there, every year starting around this time I run daily photographs of Christmas decor from my community. Kicking off this, 2009’s selections, are a quartet hailing from Williamspoint’s main drags. Enjoy!

As I have operated this web site over the years I have noticed a great many trends. A collective Internet consciousness, if you will. For example, I have noticed that summer seems to be the season of choice for churlish commenters. As for bat-shit craziness/troll-like activity, one need only peruse emails which are sent after midnight. The wee hours of the night are when the online troglodytes come out to play. Today’s theme— if my inbox is any indication— is this.
Yup.
Queens Crap (who sent me this delightful item) writes (in an email entitled “An early Christmas present for you”):
Happy Holidays!
After I managed, albeit barely, to keep my lunch in my down I asked where this came from. The fine people of Queens will be pleased as punch to know this VERY failed pair of training pants hails from the intersection of Greene and Grandview Avenue in Ridgewood. But merde is not exclusively an affliction of my friends across the creek. It is a five borough affair— and as I learned today no one does it better than Garden Spot of the Universe. Which brings me to another email I received today:
Xris (of Flatbush Gardener) writes (in an email entitled “Great Greenpointers in Current Events”):

What does sporting a set of sticky fingers have to do with a pair of shit-smeared underwear, you ask? Click the above link and find out. I dare you.

Williamsburg Street Art Du Jour: Bedford Avenue Bunny
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Street Art, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
This post goes out to Greenpoint’s most famous citizen, Edie the strap-hanging hamster. It may have taken a brain trust years to build the Internet, but it only took one very cute rodent to crash my site. Repeatedly.

P.S.: This post goes out to Posterchild. It would appear I have become his muse.
In regards to the above opus he wrote:
In the course of researching this work, I discovered that machines like the one I’m describing already exist. They are known as “Reverse Vending Machines†and I think that they are an absolutely outstanding idea!
Special thanks to Miss Heather of New York Shitty for inspiring this piece; she wrote to me: “You should hit some of the pay phones in my hood. They’re usually employed as trash receptacles for empty fifths of vodka and/or brandy. Among other things.â€
Thanks for getting me thinking about how people really use these payphones, and sorry that this didn’t make it’s way out to Greenpoint!

Another one bites the dust. Keep it up, Greenpointers!

P.S.: I have brought this to the attention of the NYPD.
160 North 12 Street PSA: No Peeing Please

Upside down or otherwise I can personally attest that there is a public urination problem with this site. It makes me wonder what will happen when this site reaches fruition as a seven story hotel/ad hoc pissoir.

Lost on Metropolitan Avenue: Pippin
When I spied this flier (which hails from Metropolitan Avenue just north of the BQE) soliciting help to find a cat named Pippin I could not help but pass it along here. If any you have seen this handsome gent with “bright green eyes”, an “oatmeal-gray” coat and “chipped front right fang” or know of his whereabouts please contact his people at the above telephone numbers. Thanks!
