Once in a blue moon I am sent something that bewilders even me. Today is one such blue moon. Linda writes:

  4. You know, I think it is really cool these two youths have an interest in (what appears to me anyway) boxing. However, as a matter of public safety (theirs and everyone else’s) they should conduct their bouts in a gym— or perhaps McCarren Park?

  6. The kids look like their onto something. I’m all for boxing matches between the community and developers. McCarren Park as you suggested would be an ideal location.

  8. Both of the guys observed Marquis of Queensbury rules, and in Kings County!

  10. I say we create something like Max Max’s Thunderdome. Karl Fischer Row can be the peanut gallery where everyone places their bets.

    For starters, we can pit these gents against the ice cream vendors…

Tell me what you're thinking...
