Well, a gentleman who calls himself Bushwickite has stepped up to the plate!
1. Jak mawiaj? Polacy, chlup i do pracy – As Poles say, “Take a shot and get to work.”
2. Jak mawiaj? Norwegowie, wiking nigdy po po?owie – As Norwegians say, “Never a viking after drinking a half.”
3. Miliard powodów maj? Chi?czycy ?eby za kieliszek chwyci? – The Chinese have a billion reasons to reach for a drink.
4. Ze Szwajcarsk? doskona?o?ci? ?eby niestane?o o?ci? – With Swiss precision, lets hope it doesn’t get stuck like a fish bone.
5. Jak mawiaj? Francuzi, to co stoi to do buzi – As the French say, “Anything that stands, put it in the mouth.”
6. I Rosjanin kielich ?yka zanim zacznie ze s?oika – Russians use shot glasses too before they start drinking from a jar.
WOW.

This morning I had the pleasure of reading an excellent Op Ed by my colleague, friend and author of the Atlantic Yards Report: Norman Oder. I encourage each and every one of you to give it a read as I found his take on the plight of our local Community Boards spot-on. Here’s a snippet/teaser:
…Not only are city agencies mostly centered in Manhattan, but community boards, the purported voices on local planning issues, have tiny budgets and only advisory votes, though they serve areas larger than some upstate cities. Some at the charter hearings have suggested that community boards deserve larger budgets and professional planners, with the City Planning Commission giving greater weight to their advisory votes. The charter commission chose not to take a deeper look….
This is only the tip of the iceberg. I suspect I speak on the behalf of many a north Brooklynite when I opine that the Community Board’s feedback regarding the issuance of liquor licenses should be binding, not advisory. You can read Mr. Oder’s tome by clicking here.
