Williamsburg Photo Du Jour: For Sale By Owner
I find this (which hails from North 8 Street) fascinating. Granted, this item does have legs but I seriously doubt it is going to run away. In addition a bathtub is an awfully heavy and awkward item— so I doubt it could be stolen very easily. Then again, several years ago someone ran into the clock in front of the Garden. Not only did this person hit it with sufficient force to knock it over but he managed to take it without being detected (a truly amazing feat if you ask me). Maybe the theft prevention measure is merited after all?

Williamsburg Video Du Jour: A Slice of L Train Life
I cannot honestly profess to like the music this gentleman is playing (too space-agey), but the instrument (which I would presume he himself designed and built) is pretty darned neat. It’s a work of art in and of its own right!

Bushwick Photos Du Jour: Die Lair
Filed under: 11206, 11231, Bushwick, Bushwick Brooklyn, East Williamsburg, East Williamsburg Brooklyn
In a day and age when any hastily assembled pile of crap is described as “luxury” and given a ridiculously pompous name this (which hails from Grattan Street) is a breath of fresh air. “Die Lair” is direct, to the point, delightfully bereft of pretense and (dare I say it) downright cheerful! If the opportunity presents itself do swing by and see “Die Lair” in person. The front door is festoooned with twinkling blue LCD lights!

Greenpoint Photo Du Jour: MITOCHRONDRIAL DNA RACIST-RETARDO
Filed under: 11222, Advanced Life Forms, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
I have featured the ANTI IMBEDDED MOSSAD PARTYmobile on New York Shitty before, but when said driver of tricked out Oldsmobile (Cadillac?) sped by me and parked in front of P.S. 110 on Monitor Street. Well, I had to document it. Click on the above image to behold the “Racist-Retardo” Greenpoint glory in larger format.

New York Shitty Day Starter: Phyllis
Last night I attended the 94th Precinct’s final community council meeting of the year. The coffee was copious and in keeping with the season pumpkin cake was in the offering. I took a piece and it was very tasty. Attendance was sparse and the attendees present were, for the most part, EDGY. Overall it was pretty dull, except for the following segment where Phyllis, a Bedford Avenue institution (and very nice lady) gave a scathing, Mr. Blackwell-esque assessment of New York’s Finest’s female officers. NOTE/CAVEAT: for some reason the sound on this is very, VERY low in some parts. Why, honestly I do not know. But trust me when I write this: it’s worth a listen and blowing your eardrums when people laugh.
Synopsis/Analysis: Police officers are not allowed to chew gum on the job.
Who knew?

P.S.: Phyllis, you rock! People like you make life worth living in north Brooklyn.
