Today's FGVOTD was submitted by bayridgegirl (BRG) and is a tribute to the recently much-discussed Rosa Maria "Rosie" Perez, who was born in Bushwick.
According to Wiki, she is "recognized for her nasal voice and thick Brooklyn accent". After seeing the picture Mr. B posted in the Rosie thread last week and after watching this clip, I think you'll agree there are a couple of other attributes that also make her recognizable.
Thanks for the clip, BRG

BRG also submitted this video of Rosie on Jimmy Kimmel. I haven't yet watched it, but according to BRG, "She mentions Fort Greene and that she has a garage early in the clip. She also says 'I'm going to get it when I get back to Brooklyn' - at 5:38".

You're right Gem, I call it "attack kitty" because of the snarled "hiss" face, arched back and claw hands.
The thing I thought was really cool was seeing her dancing with The What in his snazzy red and blue outfit at the 1:35 mark.

im still dying laughing. snappy youre gonna love this. so i talked to my grandmother this weekend for mother's day and she is convinced that an entire team of lesbians on a softball team "want her" :-/ i was like stop it, youre 75 i really doubt these woman "want you". lol. her dead son's (my uncle) baby momma that she lives with (fyi she works at HOME DEPOT i kid you not) is on a softball team and apparently most of the women on the team are gay. when she's playing my grandmother watches the kids and she is convinced that women are hitting on her. im like omg stop youre like 75 (she screamed at me when i said she was 75. she's really just like 72 or something). i doubt these women are hitting on you! hahahahaha
she then went OFF about how scary lesbians are and i was like um you know im gay right and she was like oh gay men aren't scary like lesbians are ahhahahahaha. i was like um, i sorta kinda agree with you ahhahaha.
then we got into a conversation about horror movies because my grandmother lets the kids watch them and i told dawn that i grew up watching horror movies and that it's not really that big of a deal. i then cracked her ass up telling her that i'd be watching sesame street in the morning and nightmare on elm street at night (which i totally did). my grandmother was screaming in the background "at least i provided proper entertainment!!!!" lol that was her response to letting me watch horror movies from childhood hahahahah. gotta love her.
omg and my ex bf got a job! im SO jealous of his job. he's working at a charter school in harlem for grades like 6 through 8.

Rob- YES!!! One of my favorite parts is when you get to see the make-over everyone's gotten since being on the last show they were on. New hair color, more expensive weaves, brand spanking new whore-drobe. They know they're coming to "Charm School" yet they show up in an outfit that would make a porn start blush.
LOVE IT!

Posted by: daveinbedstuy at May 11, 2009 10:14 AM
Biff,
I just caught up on the last episode of Millionaire Matchmaker. How you like Patti fixing up her first Gay client? She must of said "I love The Gays" like 40 times during the episode!
DIBS, she gave both of them a speech how there is no sexy-time until they are in the monogomous committed relationship and they agreed! :o)
Posted by: Kensingtonian at May 11, 2009 10:18 AM
haha - i think based on the storyline post Kutner - they are leaving it as a suicide.
and House is quitting drugs :( if house is no longer a cranky opiate addicted asshole then what's the fun in watching him?
Posted by: dirty_hipster at May 11, 2009 10:18 AM
Gooooood Morning!
I wasn't around on Friday, but caught up that evening and I saw that I didn't miss much around here. After reading the threads, I did realize that you really all are pathetic losers!
I spent all weekend learning the dance moves from the 'Rosie' clip.

I went on the Brooklyn Heights house tour this weekend. It was my first ever one, so I don't have many points of comparison. The lines were long (@20 mins / house) but we got to see everything. Highlight for me was a renovated house on State Street with great light, a good mix of modern and traditional design with some Asian touches, and an awesome deck. Would never want to leave home if I lived there. The Heights is not my favorite BK neighborhood, but I 'get it' more after having been on the tour.

Re: FGVOTD, maybe time would be better spent watching Rosie boxing to Fight the Power in the opening credits of Do the Right Thing. BRG, if you're up for this one, newsreel of a famous bridge failure (I remember seeing this played often in the armories during the 1950s): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxTZ446tbzE&feature=related

Posted by: vinca at May 11, 2009 10:59 AM
etson, Mrs. Champion went on the tour and was completely blown away by the State Street home. Apparently it was decorated exactly to her taste and had the most magnificent glass doors that comprised the entire opening out into the garden. She was less impressed with a couple of the other homes (on Cranberry and Sidney Place) but liked the other two as well (on Remsen and I can't remember the last one).
vinca, great call. I loved the opening to Do the Right Thing.
Posted by: Biff Champion at May 11, 2009 11:06 AM
Biff and Ken,
Patti was really going over the top with the whole I love the gays thing. If she's so down with the gays how come she needed a tutorial on their mating practices. She was making me (and I think the gay millionaire) sick to my stomach.
So speaking of the gays, can you guess who this is?
http://www.dlisted.com/files/imagecache/photo-preview/files/galleries/FP_2181065_BARM_Boy_George_.jpg
Shoot...his name is in the link title. No mind, take a look at what he's looking like now. I'd have never guessed it was him.
Posted by: TownhouseLady at May 11, 2009 11:10 AM
Biff,
The glass doors st State Street were amazing! They 'folded' open from left to right if that makes sense. The room they were in was furnished in mid century modern style with wooden floating shelves and everything fit together perfectly.
The other house was on Hicks Street and was also beautifully done, with the reception rooms being its best feature. Plantings in the garden were perfect as well. Some of the kitchen and bedroom fittings were a little suburban looking though. Says the totally jealous guy...
Remsen half-house had some very odd modern art which detracted from the place. Didn't feel liveable-in.
Posted by: etson at May 11, 2009 11:16 AM
THANKS VINCA!!!!
I had seen a clip of that collapse. In your second link, I love the music.
We went over a great truss bridge on Friday heading upstate. I forget what road we were on as I was sleeping (I know bad co-pilot) and hubby nudged me awake so I can look at the bridge. It was painted bright red.
Posted by: bayridgegirl at May 11, 2009 11:17 AM
DIBS, that was funny.
THL, yeah tell me about it, she was asking him if he was a top or bottom and whether he considered himself masculine or feminine. She was rude and obnoxious, as she is all the time, but she was going WAY over the line this time. This poor gay guy was getting offended and he was so nice and genuine about it. I would of kicked her ass out of the house if I was him.
Posted by: Kensingtonian at May 11, 2009 11:22 AM
BRG,
Maybe it was one of the bridges on the Taconic that cross the reservoir in Yorktown? There is one for each direction, so you can see the southbound bridge if you are going north and vice versa. Think one of those is red and the view scross the reservoir is wonderful (although hard to enjoy because of one is usually driving at least 55 at that point).
If it wasn't one of those - you should check them out anyway.
Posted by: etson at May 11, 2009 11:23 AM
etson, regarding the lines to enter, Mrs. Champion did say they were rather long, but moved fast. She was late in arriving but said, within the two hours or so she had for the entire tour, she was easily able to see all of the homes (although she knew someone hosting at the last place she visited so she got to stay a few extra minutes).
Posted by: Biff Champion at May 11, 2009 11:23 AM
Biff,
Mrs Champion is probably smarter at coordinating than we were! We were worried we might not get it all in at one point (tho we did stop for lunch) but the lines abated late in the afternoon.
Posted by: etson at May 11, 2009 11:29 AM
Re: the BH House Tour. These snobby ladies were in front of me (well, I guess, behind me and beside me, too) and were talking about how they just made reservations at the River Cafe for July 4th so they could watch the fireworks from the restaurant. I didn't tell them that the fireworks, at least as of now, are not happening in the East River. I loved State Street and Hicks and thought Remsen had a funny smell, probably due to some artwork.
Posted by: jessibaby at May 11, 2009 11:35 AM
etson, she went during that last two hours of the tour (3-5pm), which might explain why it was less of a wait. Plus, she was likely fairly strategic in the route she took and obviously knows the area, which I'm sure helped. Glad you enjoyed it; sounds like it was very worthwhile.
Posted by: Biff Champion at May 11, 2009 11:36 AM
YES Etson, That's it!!!
We were on the Taconic heading north and the bridge went over the Croton Resevoir.
I had wished we were going over much slower. I didn't get to appreciate the brdige or the view for long :(
Posted by: bayridgegirl at May 11, 2009 11:40 AM
The Taconic is a really pretty drive, although further north I find I have to drive more carefully than normal for the highway. Lots of twists and turns.

Hey! We had a weekend guest, and Rob, her family growing up had five kids and ONE bathroom! YES! I just wanted to write this here on the Open Thread so everyone would know this happened somewhere once. Perhaps they should be in Ripley's Believe it or Not or the Guinness Book of World Records. I think it actually might be illegal in some states. She said it wasn't a problem.
Posted by: mopar at May 11, 2009 12:15 PM
I grew up in a family of 6 with one bathroom and 2 bedrooms. Had a great childhood and a great family- So what hyperbolic point were you making, mopar?
Posted by: bxgrl at May 11, 2009 12:24 PM
Hubby grew up with 7 brothers and sisters - that's 10 people and only ONE bathroom!!

Yikes...THL, how long is it going to take? I guess the leak didn't get any better?
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at May 11, 2009 12:34 PM
I must admit we had a high bathroom to family member ratio in the home in which I grew up. However, we still had the problem that if someone was in the shower and one of the others used the faucets or flushed the toilet in another part of the house, the person in the shower would suddenly be hit with scalding hot water for some reason. Even though I don't have that issue in my current home, I still am very tentative using the water when someone else is in the shower; the voice of my dad screaming at me as he was getting burned has never completely left me. There was nothing worse than the feeling I had as a child after I just flushed and realized I was in for it. My eyes would be wide open and I would freeze right there and then in the bathroom with my hand still on the toilet handle just waiting for my dad to erupt. And that man, bless his heart, could scream!
Posted by: Biff Champion at May 11, 2009 12:39 PM
THL! Bedpans??
Bxgrl, I am joking. I cannot stand listings for places with more bathrooms than bedrooms. Rob agrees.
Posted by: mopar at May 11, 2009 12:41 PM
Funny Biff. We had the same problem except the water would go ice cold. That was a shock to the system!
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at May 11, 2009 12:41 PM
You guys are so out of it today! What's going on?
"He married me, so NO he's not normal."

Posted by: bayridgegirl at May 11, 2009 12:44 PM
mopar- well as you can see, my upbringing with only one bathroom has certainly NOT crippled me emotionally :-)
Posted by: bxgrl at May 11, 2009 12:47 PM
Oh Snappy, it's a fun story I tell you (I'll tell everyone).
We found that water was running behind the overflow drain and down the back of the tub because there was no seal between the overflow drain where it connected to the inside of the tub. Fine- we fix that. So now there is no water running under the tub.
2 days later it's leaking again. We check the seal. It's fine. space behind/under the tub is bone dry.
We expose all the plumbing from the back by going through the closet walls. No leaks. We pull out the bathroom cabinet and start taking the floor apart because that's where the waste pipe is running under the floor. We have to go through a layer of tile 4 inches of concrete and 2 sets of wood floorboards. to find it's a puncture wound in the lead lead waste pipe. O.k., so we put a temporary patch on that and a pot in the floor under it. and turn the water back on.
It leaks again. so we look under the hole in the pipe it's dry as is the whole run along the waste pipe. BUT WAIT! the wood beam looks wet right under where the shut off valve for the toilet is.
Get this. The incoming water pipe is copper. the pipe coming out of the wall with the valve is stainless steel. We have to now break down the 3 inch thick tiled and concrete and wire mesh wall that the pipe is coming out of to find the stainless steel pipe is no longer attached to the copper pipe it's broken off completely but because it's embedded in 3 inches of concrete it's not moving anywhere. it's just slowly letting water run down.
So we capped the whole thing off with a massive wad of putty just so we could turn the water on a shower/run dishwasher, fill all pots and buckets with water last night. today the plumber is in to replace all the copper to stainless connections and the hole in the waste pipe. he said we'd have to gut the entire bathroom to replace the waste pipe so it's a patch (that he said will last a good 5 years at least) until we undertake the gut reno. of this bath.
Cripes!!

Posted by: bayridgegirl at May 11, 2009 1:13 PM
ugh yeah dont get me started on people thinking every bedroom should have it's own bathroom. first of all that is stank cuz of the poo-mist issue. maybe it's good for germaphobes or whatever, but still. i never had more than one bathroom growing up and it was never a problem. are peoples bladders and spincters so weak these days that they cant hold it in while someone else goes? when i lived in harlem in a 5 bedroom apartment 5 of us only had access to one bathroom (the girl who lived in the maid's room off the kitchen had her own toilet in her room but no one used that) and it was never a problem. tho ill admit i did pee in 40 ounce bottles a couple of times lol

Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at May 11, 2009 1:20 PM
Rob,
I think a lot of people talk much snobbier than they live. Very few of us had a bath for every bedroom growing up or a bath on ever floor for that matter.
The only thing I will say is that if I comment on there not being enough baths in a HOTD is in relation to the price.
Do I think you should by a 2MM home and have to go upstair to use the loo? No. For that price I want someone to follow me around with a gold plated commode.
Did I buy a house for substantially less than that and walk up stairs to use the loo with no serious physical or mental anguish sustained? Yes.

I had an "i hate my neighborhood" moment saturday night
There was a guy walking up Union Ave dressed like an old school milk man - all white uniform, handlebar moustache, funny hat and actually carrying a little holder full of milk in glass bottles. I think he was on his way to Royal Oak. What the hell!!
Posted by: dirty_hipster at May 11, 2009 1:40 PM
DIPSTER i think i know him. he's part of Club Animals that my old roommate in harlem is part of. unless there is someone else who dresses up as a milkman ALL the time. the guy i know doesnt have a mustache, tho i havent seen him in a few months. was he a black dude?
*rob*
Posted by: PitbullNYC at May 11, 2009 1:50 PM
no rob - he was a white boy. So there are other people running around the city dressed at milk men? Interesting.

I wanted to take a quick moment to thank Biff and BRG for the Rosie Youtube moment. I am just coming back to earth after having witnessed the funniest moment in my life with one of my sons.
He is two. The video began with a burst of music. He looked up, ran over, and began to dance. Dancing in the most adorably jerky and wonderfully little boy way I have ever seen. Can't put words to it, but that, combined with the 80's blast of memory: Priceless.
And HOUSE? Can't wait. Still having trouble believing the sexual tension between he and Cuttey is now requited. Not sure it was a good idea.

btw - didn't mean Chirp Chirp to Noki's post, didn't see hers as we were posting at the same time. I meant in general as it's been quiet here.
Noki, little kids dancing is the cutest thing. I love their spastic movements.
With all my young neices and nephews, I play music, take up on my hip, put our cheeks together and start dancing around the room. Their favorite is the tango (not that I do it properly), but they love when they get dipped.

So House didn't kill anyone in the finale? From the previews that is what I'd expected.
The bathroom thing just really annoys me in new construction. Like, if you've only got 800 square feet to work with, why make a third of it bathroom space? One of the redeeming features about the new construction we live in now is that the architect messed up the plans and they couldn't install the second bathroom. So instead we have a pantry, which is actually much more useful.

About a month or so ago a few people suggested Chinatown Ice Cream Factory. Since then I have been there too many times. All I have to say is THANKS A LOT!!!! By summer end if I gain one pound with all the ice cream that I’m consuming and planning to consume from there, it’s all your fault….damn it!!

Noki, I so glad the little Nokette enjoyed himself! To make up for the fact I think I only have 6 pictures of myself in total from my first 10 years of life, I've taken endless pictures and videos of the Champettes. Singing and dancing clips are by far the funniest and most endearing.
BRG, I believe that was the chicken and I who recommended the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory. That clip combines two of my favourite things: ice cream and Julia Chang. I think I might have broken my keyboard by continually hitting pause at the 25/26 second mark.

Did I buy a house for substantially less than that and walk up stairs to use the loo with no serious physical or mental anguish sustained? Yes."
Dying of laughter. But THL, I am so sorry to hear about your bathroom plumbing crisis.
At least that falling down house we love so much has all the antique plumbing exposed -- seriously. All of it. Isn't that convenient? Because you just know it's going to spring a new leak every two minutes.

Posted by: PitbullNYC at May 11, 2009 2:54 PM
imagine rob living large after winning the mega millions. I could see a subzero packed with 40s in some palacial penthouse somewhere.
Posted by: dirty_hipster at May 11, 2009 2:58 PM
ha dipster! actually this weekend my friend kristy came over and she wanted to go to that craft beer store on 5th ave in PS and i wasl ike okay so we each bought some random beers and we were at home drinking them my roommate and his boyfriend came in and completely made fun of me being all like OoOoOo look who's drinking fancy beer, where's your 40s?? hahahah. for what it's worth i didnt like any of the beers i bought and they were mad overpriced. give me a 2.50 Old English anyday!
*rob*
Posted by: PitbullNYC at May 11, 2009 3:01 PM
I keep telling BH, who plays the mega millions, that he just needs to win ONE million!
It would significantly change our lives!
I bet Rob would have a nicer bean bag and a bigger tv in the middle of a giant room with a fridge for the 40s in it! And build a new wing for Grandma!
Posted by: cobblehiller at May 11, 2009 3:02 PM
actually if i won the megamillions i would buy a new construction fedders house in a non landmarked district and paint it hot pink and lime green just for sh-ts and giggles.
*rob*
Posted by: PitbullNYC at May 11, 2009 3:04 PM
Lime green and pink on a fedders would be a huge improvement Rob!
Posted by: cobblehiller at May 11, 2009 3:06 PM
haha rob - could totally imagine you doing that!
and decorate the inside like alex and simon on RHWONY
Posted by: dirty_hipster at May 11, 2009 3:07 PM
Lime green and pink fedders condo with bordello red interior with placements of bean bags, leather couches, fridges packed with 40s and hunormous TVs.
Let's just add the fugly balconies that only have enough room to store a napkin and I'll buy into that! :o).

Ever notice the people that end up winning the huge mega millions jackpots are always people from the middle of nowhere in the south who would have trouble spending 10 million dollars let alone 220 million?
Posted by: dirty_hipster at May 11, 2009 3:21 PM
Or Rob can just apply on the Millionaire Matchmakers with hopes that one of those older successful gay guys picks him for the "monogomous committed relationship" to wine and dine and beanbag anytime lol.

DH, problem is most lottery winners DON"T have trouble spending it, and most of them end up broke in no time. They go nuts and buy ridiculous things instead of safely investing or protecting their money. I saw a program about it. It was pretty sad.
Posted by: cobblehiller at May 11, 2009 3:23 PM
Rob just needs to hang out in the right places. Where do rich gay men hang out?
Rob's a really nice guy and cute. We'll just have to shower him and spiff him up a bit.
Posted by: bayridgegirl at May 11, 2009 3:25 PM
CH I was the same show. Truly ridiculous what those people buy and then end up even worse then they were pre-lottery money.

Rob, buy one and babysit it until someone offers to buy you another.
Do you have a bow tie?

I say we create Rob a website. somethign along the lines of www.FindRobRichDude.com.
Do you secretly want to drink 40s in seven eleven parking lot?
Did you ever want to throw baloons at strangers from your ritzy penthouse?
Did you ever want to hang out in a beanbag all weekend long?
Then Rob is a guy for you!!!!
I think we can make it work. Let's get on it. We need to form a committee.
Posted by: Kensingtonian at May 11, 2009 3:33 PM
Drinks there are no more expensive than a lot of places...maybe $6 for a beer. Its been a while since I've been there. It gets the older gentleman crowd...many in their 40s and 50s, some in their 70s and 80s.
The biggest problem that young guys have there who are sincerely looking to meeet someone older is that many of the oplder guys think all of the younger ones are hustlers. Some are but you should be able to tell that in the first few lines of conversation.
Thats where I met my Chinese bf and he has said that older guys sometimes think he's a hustler where in reality he probably has more money than they do LOL
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at May 11, 2009 3:35 PM
I was kidding about the shower part....Geez
At the last shindig, I hugged Rob goodbye and was not repulsed.
He really is a very sweet guy.

Classy place..I suggest you put on a nice pair of slacks, a shirt and a bow tie; take $10 bucks out of your piggy bank and head to 58th Street. You might end up meeting a nice guy. Look at DIBS he's a nice guy - Okay wait, never mind ;-)

Hiya What! We didn't make it to see Star Trek, but we did see Wolverine. I liked most of it, the love story aspect fell apart for me - didn't work. I loved the guy with the laser vision - later to be Cyclops? and the young girl with the diamond skin - does she show up again later? And who knew Liev Schreiber could play such a scary monster!
Otherwise, I planted flowers and cooked.
How about you?

"I must admit I cringe when people refer to the Champettes as "mixed"."
Biff, that's interesting because, I preferred to be called "mixed", if I have to be called anything referring to my ethnic makeup. Mulatto just rubs me the wrong way and seems archaic, while bi-racial or multi-racial just sound plain stupid to me.
When I asked my mom what color I was ( i think was 9 or 10), she told me "oatmeal cookie", which is what i tell people when they ask about my ethnic background and I feel like being snarky.
Posted by: Troy McClure at May 11, 2009 4:40 PM
THL, I thought about that when I looked at those pictures! I looked at Pia and thought, yeah, she'd be all in there trying to explore and get herself stuck! I once fostered two kittens and one day couldn't find one of them. I finally discovered her crazy ass stuck at the very top of my curtains...she couldn't get her claws out of them to hop down. She looked terrified! I had to peel her claws out one by one. I used to have a sofa bed and Pia got stuck down in there with the mattress once. That was a nightmare of screaming and crying.

9. Best Lesbian Moving Van
2006 Subaru Outback
"Subaru pumps a lot of money into gay advertising and their efforts have paid off with our sister's in queerness. This crossover wagon is versatile enough to accommodate a wide range of haulers. There's plenty of space for the cat cage and those boxes that can't fit in the storage bin. The Outback is a long-running lesbian champion."
OMG!!!!! I used to own a Subaru Outback. I had it for 8 years. I loved that car. Am I a lesbian?
Posted by: bayridgegirl at May 11, 2009 4:46 PM
Snappy, at the risk of making it worse, I love the scent of vanilla. It is my absolute favourite scent. I think it's because it reminds me of when I was a fat, jovial kid and could devour an entire tray of Rice Krispy squares.
Did you take your gay car to Mr. Lube?

BRG, first step is to ruin Thanksgiving dinner by telling your family. Step two is to duck!

"I was in Lower Manhattan yesterday. J and R Music World, Canal St and on to the Apple Store. Duck has gotten expensive, I used to get one for 13.50 and now they want 18.00 for one but, I caved in, gotta have Duck."
What, with the Apple store, you are turning into a hipster/yuppie!
(Don't worry, don't worry, I'm just kidding.)
So did you buy the duck already cooked? Every once in a while I get a D'Artingnan duck breast and cook it for dinner. It's like candy.

"BRG, why do you assume it's always all about you? I was saying I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body."
Huh, you mean it's not always about me???
I'm so vain
I probably think this thread is about me
Don't I Don't I
And what does that mean exactly?
"I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body."
I don't get it?

Duck is super greasy.

More4less can post from home but not work so its possible his work firewall is blocking him, not Mr. B.
Someone once asked a friend of mine what color they were and they said "human." I always liked that.
I hate people asking "what color are you?' Are they blind? What does this look like? Magenta? (snappy- I'm white and the word "mulatto" makes my blood boil too).

LOL! Very funny! Nice! Duck is pretty fancy wedding food! I usually end up at weddings with chicken (yawn...) or salmon (over-cooked), or some sad-badly-prepared beef dish.

I'd settle for your leftover lasagna as opposed to the food I'm serving up tonight!

Can someone please give me some cliff notes?

As long as there is no shark fin soup at the wedding reception. Despite being a carnivoire, that is way beyond my limits.

'S&P Couple' is 1st referenced by Troy at 4:26.
'Mixed' is referenced by Biff at 4:29.
Posted by: bayridgegirl at May 11, 2009 5:36 PM
"Duck is super greasy."
Yes, that's why it's so tasty. And good for you, I'm sure of it. The D'Artingnan duck breast has a layer of fat an inch thick. It stays intact when you cook it. It looks just like the marshmallow in a chocolate marshmallow candy. Only it tastes even better. The D'Artingnan ones are the best -- they don't have that gamey flavor and they're not tough. I think it's $20 for two at Citarella or something like that. They come in vacuum packs. You couldn't eat more than one a month.
Very tasty with French green lentils, and wine butter shallot sauce with some dried cranberries.

Get back to your job counting posts.

Randi,
HEEEEEY!!!
First EVERYONE was awarded the PL award and then you took it all away and gave it to one person. That's not fair.
Where's the humanity?

Ok, since Randi won't do it, I say we all just count our own posts and compare. Please be honest and don't embellish the number of your posts. We have to rely on the honour system.
This is my 21st post.

Posted by: jessibaby at May 11, 2009 5:52 PM
the PL award has nothing to do with number of comments but overall quality of comments. today was a pretty crap day on here, so i thought everyone deserved it. then, since cobble is a little girl i gave it to him/her. now i am just taking it away. no more PL award until you all earn it.

But I do have to say that I have had some good french cooked duck, too. Can you ever forgive me? : )

Jessi, you and six are already talking about getting pets together? That's serious.
What is right. Why the hell would you go anywhere but Canal Street (or Main Street Flushing) for the best tasting duck?
Posted by: Biff Champion at May 11, 2009 5:59 PM
Biff, I'm a firm believer in getting your dealbreakers on the table from the beginning, e.g., my post last week re: tickle, tickle.
Also, anyone had duck at Ivo & Lulu on Broome and Varick? Yum!
Posted by: jessibaby at May 11, 2009 6:04 PM

Of course, dear. We just have to get the coop board to change that pesky no pets policy. Who's willing to cat-sit for us when we travel?

no one is mentioning the green parrots? Hello?...the green parrots are brooklyn's official state bird, or should be. they were outsiders....aliens...but they nevertheless overcame every obstacle, moved into vacant vintage architecture (the green-wood gates) and carefully and methodically made a new life for themselves and their children in the Borough that is the haven of last resort to the world. I love those green parrots. I even love that they live off other people's electricity (they build their nests around con ed transformers). That is SO brooklyn.
