Although I have featured this masterpiece before I am doing so again. Why? Because although I am not a “Mac” person I think utilizing part of the aforementioned for a windshield is rather neat!

Williamsburg Photo Du Jour: LOST
Although I suspect this it yet another manifestation of the viral advertising that is plaguing north Brooklyn of late here it is. My advice: purchase some Rogaine already!

The above photograph does not adequately showcase the feast for the senses that is this three-wheeled bit of holiday awesomeness I encountered this afternoon. Thankfully my camera can film video. Enjoy!
WOW.

I could tell something was afoot when I passed a youth wearing a t-shirt which read as follows:
FUCK YOU
FUCK YOU
FUCK YOU
FUCK YOU
FUCK YOU
FUCK YOU
FUCK YOU
Have a nice day.
If there’s one thing I have observed about East Williamsburg over the years it is its citizens do not mince words. This is a large reason why I find this neighborhood so endearing: they say whatever is on their mind. CASES IN POINT:
I encounter this pup on Lorimer Street. When I inquired of his “person” as to what his friend’s name was he replied:
Give me your phone number.
To wit I replied:
If he has a cell phone— and I trust he does— I’ll be more than happy to program it into his phone since I have opposable thumbs.
It took a moment, but he got the joke and ‘fessed up that this— his— dog has no name. He asked me to give him one— and I did: Amos. As I have mentioned fairly recently, I grew up with a bulldog with just this name as a kid. That was a good enough reason as any so it stands: Amos it is!
Montrose Avenue
While no explanation is given methinks what happened here is pretty clear: this person had his (her?) bike stolen. I can only wonder what Janice Sadik Khan would think of this. But I digress. As I continued down the street— pondering the fact this act of theft came to pass a mere five minute walk from the 90th Precinct all the while— I stumbled upon this.
Wow, they really do have a problem here.
I thought to myself. And this.
Yup.
And last— but hardly least— this find from Graham Avenue
I will readily admit my command of Spanish (or pretty much anything for that matter) was not up to par today— it was one of those days. We all have them. But the message gets across nonetheless.
I love a happy ending! *sigh*

Hi Heather.. wanted to see if you can help us spread the word for our Dia De Los Muertos/2 yr. anniversary/City Harvest canned food drive. Its on Nov 1st. from 5 til 930. free beer. free tattoos* w/a purchase of a brewed to order coffee. (our sugar skull* must tip artist.) It should be fun. Maybe you can join us. If not maybe you can help us get the word out. Thanks any help is big help. We want to hit our goal of 200 lbs of food this year.
As it would happen I hit the Beaner Bar’s 1st Anniversary fiesta last year. It was a lot fun. I especially enjoyed the mariachi music. My tip for teetotalers: get their hot chocolate. It’s among the best to be had in Greenburg!

To close on a (somewhat) related note, I have been noticing a lot of graffiti featuring feline subject matter hereabouts lately. Without further ado, here they are!
Nassau Avenue
Union Avenue
Could this be the start of a trend? I can only hope so. Cattitude!

P.S.: I have also gotten word that Dog Habitat has a new feline in residence. Jay writes:
Had a surprise waiting at the door early one morning. A kitten in a basket. Dropped off some time before 6:30 a.m. Young and friendly. Grey with what could be a broken tail.
Naturally I intend to meet (and film) this little guy (or girl)— STAT!
