Yesterday in the bed bug thread, incredulously, someone asked why they don't bring back DDT. Ever since then I can't get the Ramones out of my head!
Lobotomy, lobotomy, lobotomy, lobotomy!
DDT did a job on me
Now I am a real sickie
Guess I'll have to break the news
That I got no mind to lose
All the girls are in love with me
I'm a teenage lobotomy
Slugs and snails are after me
DDT keeps me happy
Now I guess I'll have to tell 'em
That I got no cerebellum
Gonna get my Ph.D.
I'm a teenage lobotomy
Posted by: Biff Champion at August 27, 2009 9:25 AM
Snappy, I read your post from yesterday regarding if any of us see you in the streets. I'm sorry but I suspect "Snappy" will come right out vs. the "hey you". It's either your real name or "Snappy".
Posted by: more4less at August 27, 2009 9:25 AM
thanks snaps, never heard of them.

Posted by: Kensingtonian at August 27, 2009 9:28 AM
We definitely need a PLUSA code of behaviour when we encounter each other unexpectedly on the street. I agree with M4L that "hey you" is just too cold and bizarre.
How about a gangsta handshake accompanied by a, "Whassup, my PLUSA??"
"One of the most famous trademarks of gangsta culture is a complicated handshake. A gangsta handshake is not necessarily a secret handshake. However, each group of individuals will have a specific and sometimes complicated method of greeting. While each handshake will differ, a few tips can give you an idea what a gangsta handshake is like, so that you may adapt it and make it your own."
Instructions are at this link

Snappy, that would trigger me to use "Insert" and if still no response, I would thinking hard if I should step on your bad foot for that kind of behavior.
Posted by: more4less at August 27, 2009 9:30 AM
Randi, I'm guessing it means "Even More Pathetic Loser" but I'm not sure. Mopar is out closing on a house today I believe, so I don't know that she'll be around to confirm.
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 27, 2009 9:31 AM
Biff, I love that house and across the street is one of my favorite restaurants CASA. It's a brazilian place and the few times that I've been there, we were the only non-brazilian table there. A co-worker from Brazil said they are the closest thing to authentic brazilian in NYC. I highly recommend it.

Snappy, in your case, not hard to find out your real name but out of respect one shouldn't dig for that versus waiting patiently for it to be given
Posted by: more4less at August 27, 2009 9:33 AM
I think it's likely DIBS, especially while in Thailand, has greeted a few young men with an enthusiastic, "INSERT!"

My real name is Dave but if you run into me on the street you should address me as "Sir."
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at August 27, 2009 9:36 AM
Snappy, ROFL! I have a t-shirt that says, "What if the Hokey Pokey is Really What It's All About?"
Who is going to be in charge of choreographing the final step to make it our own?

I'm tired. I was up until 4 writing GOP Rep. Wally Herger a blistering letter for calling a Man who Declared Himself A "Proud Right Wing Terrorist" a great American in a health reform town hall meeting. I gave him a long list of the things terrorists do and told he he was a coward ( in much more opulent terms). I wonder how people like this manage to get up in the morning. I really do.

Snappy, don't know about you but I've always found it weird / awkward to address people by their stoner ID's at the gatherings. I remember DH and I both balking a little at the gathering. We were both about to call each by our real names but wasn't sure if that's correct protocol, etc.
Posted by: more4less at August 27, 2009 9:44 AM
I'm seeing a modified gansta handshake and Hokey Pokey dance on greeting another PLUSA. If we are going to continue using code names and making public fools of ourselves, we may as well DO IT RIGHT!! LOL!!

"I've always found it weird / awkward to address people by their stoner ID's at the gatherings"
M4L, you're failing to appreciate that some people may not WANT to use their real names. They are comfortable meeting and greeting, but prefer to remain private.
A few people know my real name, but I would prefer that it NEVER be used on this blog, and am slightly more comfortable using my login at gatherings. And I think MOST people feel that way.
Posted by: cobblehiller at August 27, 2009 9:49 AM
I'm thinking the Jewish version would be an extended hand coated with lox and a schmear. A friendly hello and brunch at the same time.
Posted by: bxgrl at August 27, 2009 9:49 AM
Arkady...I do like the name Snappy...I think I'd just be horrified if I were with say co-workers (assuming I get a job soon!) and someone called me Snappy!
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 27, 2009 9:49 AM
i'm turning in my gay card. i'm just NOT attracted to gay guys at all. and after standing in line for coffee this morning staring at a hot booty (female) i've decided, why not. im not claiming im bisexual; i've been autosexual for the last five months, but i don't really feel like being homosexual anymore.

Posted by: PitbullNYC at August 27, 2009 9:49 AM
DIBS, you're talking about the tickling, with a finger, of the other person's palm during the handshake?
Posted by: more4less at August 27, 2009 9:50 AM
"Snappy, don't know about you but I've always found it weird / awkward to address people by their stoner ID's at the gatherings."
I think it's tougher for certain login IDs. To call a person more4less or InsertSnappyNameHere in person is rather awkward and bizarre, although "Snappy" is like a fun and cute nickname. I'm not crazy about my own login name, but at least Biff is almost like a proper name, albeit a proper name for a frat boy, lacrosse-playing, stuck up Hamptons douchebag.

it was late but PLUSA seeings in the street: i ran into snappy once hobbling, and one plusa snubbed me in the street but i honestly dont remember if he's a regular poster or just showed up once? sometimes when you see someone in the street randomly there is a disconnect, like where do i know this person from? or they look very familiar, but confusing at the same time...

Good luck chicken!! [What am I wishing you good luck on, precisely?!]
Posted by: cobblehiller at August 27, 2009 9:54 AM
1 Shake hands with the same hand. The gangsta handshake differs from a standard handshake in that you do not reach across your body to shake hands with two right hands. Rather, one person reaches out with the left while the other with the right so that the shake occurs on one side of the body.
Step 2Turn your palm up while your friend turns his palm down. Grasp one another at the wrist and the slide your hands down so that you move from wrists to fingertips.
Step 3Wiggle your fingers a few times once you have come fingertip to fingertip. Once you have released hands, curl your hands into fists and smack your knuckles together once and then drop your hands to your sides.
Step 4 Slap shoulders by leaning across your body and touching right shoulder to right shoulder. You don't have to make a hard impact; however, you don't want the movement to be to soft either. With practice you will find the right amount of pressure to put into the shoulder slap. This is a friendly addition to the gangsta handshake which shows camaraderie and respect.
Step 5 Add any other special moves you like to the basic gangsta handshake. It is very important that you customize the handshake for your group of friends, to make is special and unique.
SOUNDS VERY GAY TO ME.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at August 27, 2009 9:55 AM
Cobble at 9:49, WELL SAID!
bxgrl at 9:49, very funny. How about some some rugelach or hamantashen in the other hand for dessert?
"biff- how would we of the tribe customize that handshake? (I cannot wait to hear this)"
bxgrl, there are enough gay PLUSAs on this site to do a WAY more impressive job than I as handshake choreographer. As a hetero dude, invariably my version would have that odd white man's overbite facial expression we all do while dancing.

chicken, I've NEVER heard that one at all. There is nothing at all SECRET about anything gay in Bangkok!!!!
Don't worry about getting involved in some mix up.
Also, if you've not been there before, when you are hitting the titty bars, RULE NO. 1 is to stay on street level and never go to an upstairs or second story bar.

Any secret PLUSA handshake has to end with the thumb and index finger forming an "L" . . . and I should know because joining you all on the OT is how I choose to begin my vacation.

Posted by: brickoven at August 27, 2009 10:01 AM
chicken, if you get any free time in Bangkok and want to do something less unwholesome than the other PLUSA's suggestions, I recommend shopping at the Chatuchak Weekend Market, or (for a more comfortable a/c experience) at the crafts floor in the new Siam Paragon Mall.
A dear friend of mine owns a massage place not far from Khao San road. It's Thai Traditional Massage, cheap, no frills surroundings, and superb. If you want the details, email me.
Posted by: WonTon at August 27, 2009 10:02 AM
Snappy, I'm all for no real names on blogs. There's a bunch here that I reference them by their name when I see/meet them. To each his/her own and I'm certainly not going to dictate what people should or should not do. Rather I'm just saying "I" find it very weird/awkward. Maybe it's a cultural thing.
Posted by: more4less at August 27, 2009 10:03 AM
Welcome to the team Rob. I think the rules are much more complicated that your old team's rules. You will be dealing with much more complex and delicate companions.
Posted by: lechacal at August 27, 2009 10:08 AM
WonTon, I had a (legitimate) Thai massage in Bangkok once and could barely move my body the next day. They do some serious stretching and bending. It's painful, when done right.
M4L, I get your point and don't think it's necessarily a cultural thing. It is strange in a way. On the other hand, to my PLUSA friends here, I think they really do see me more as "Biff" than anything else and it would almost be even stranger to hear them say my real name (Ben Cohen). Whatever people are comfy with should be the rule.
Posted by: Biff Champion at August 27, 2009 10:08 AM

Posted by: DitmasSnark at August 27, 2009 10:11 AM
i'm going to agree (gasp!) with more4less on this one. i totally understand and agree with people not using their real names on the blog but i feel like personal contact is nicer with people's real names. doesn't have to be their first/last/social sec #. Just their first name. It just seems nicer. I'm sure there are those that disagree but like M4L, it's a personal feeling. if someone doesn't feel comfortable with that, they are well within their bounds not to disclose their first name at the meetups.
that said, i think referencing here "i know this person's real name" or such kind of creates an unnecessary divide.

re: Real names, I don't mind either. If someone introduced themselves in person to me by their real name, I did the same. If not, I stuck with Kens. I could care less.
The only weird part was when I picked up Biff to get to Williamsburg and he was waiting for me, I felt funny screaming out Biff across Atlantic avenue so I waited for him to see me, he didn't, so I had to yell it out anyways.

The U.S. economy contracted less than anticipated in the second quarter as a jump in government spending and smaller cutbacks by consumers helped mitigate a record plunge in inventories.
But.. But.. But.. Dave said "Inventories would increase".
"Companies from Wal-Mart Stores Inc. to Macy’s Inc. cut costs and stockpiles to bolster earnings as job losses caused consumers to curb spending. Leaner stocks and government programs to revive demand, including the “cash for clunkers” and first-time homebuyer incentives, are boosting manufacturing and housing, putting the economy on a path to recovery."
Government spending is plugging the gapping hole in the Mutant Asset Bubble! When the Bond market goes Tango Uniform it's nighty nite.
Depending on the pace of the recovery in the second half of the year, the Federal Reserve may not need to purchase all of the $1.25 trillion of mortgage-backed securities it previously targeted, Richmond Fed President Jeffrey Lacker said today. Lacker in January had dissented against the central bank’s commitment to keep buying agency debt and mortgage securities.
Walking away from the Blast Area! This fall is going to be spectacular!
Consumer spending, which accounts for about 70 percent of the economy, fell at a 1 percent pace, less than anticipated, following a 0.6 percent increase in the prior quarter. The decrease subtracted 0.7 percentage point from GDP. Purchases were forecast to drop 1.3 percent, according to the survey median.
Consumer spending is dead! No credit, no sales (Like Al Sharpton)!

Of course, I was walking behind Kens at Sycamore trying to get his attention, shouting "Kens! Kens!", and I only got him to turn around when I used his real name.
I agree, in part, with everyone. I don't mind PLUSAs knowing my "Clark Kent" identity OFF the OT, but would never want it revealed ON the OT. As Biff said, you spend all day - and I mean ALL day - addressing everyone by their PLUSA names so it sounds sort of strange when you switch to real names. But, as Snark said, when you're with a small group, using real names works too.

I agree with most people re names: always use login name online but real name is just fine in person.
btw, I made a stupid mistake in my 1 Hanson comment to brickoven. Prices have fallen by 20% since I looked there in April (think I said they were 20% higher when I looked in my original comment, which implied a smaller decline).

Very interesting story re: Thailand from Bloomberg just now...
Thailand Rescues Stranded Workers as Frost Kills Swedish Crops
Aug. 27 (Bloomberg) -- For hundreds of Thai fruit-pickers, the 10,000-mile round trip to northern Sweden was supposed to bring wealth. Instead, it left them penniless.
The workers headed to the Nordic forests in July to pick blueberries, lingonberries and cloudberries and were promised more than 10 times the average monthly salary at home. A late frost devastated the fruit harvest. Today, the Thai government said it was helping the pickers to return home.
“I’m worried and sad,” Chartchai Khanu, 44, who borrowed 80,000 baht ($2,350) against his land in Thailand to pay for the trip, said by telephone from the Swedish town of Luleaa. “Idon’t know when I’ll be back or where to get money from.”
The workers’ plight underscores the risks taken by Sweden’s seasonal laborers, who pay their way in hopes of earning more cash than they would at home. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bangkok will lend the pickers money to let them fly home, deputy spokesman Thani Thongphakdi said.
$2,350 to get to Sweden????? I didn't know fruit pickers flew first class.

Um, DIBS, clearly you missed the election earlier this year. Clearly while the poll workers were counting dangling chads, you were off with Chad dangling his pole.
It was a close result, and some were making accusations of ballot stuffing that would have made the government of Iran blush, but it is what it is.

my two cents on the whole realname/username issue. It should be a personal decision - some people are cool with their names out there, others aren't.
If you don't want to use your real name, then it helps if your username sounds (or can be made to sound) like a nickname. eg daveinbedstuy = not good, DIBS = good.
Insertsnappynamehere = not good, Snappy = good.
The Chicken = not good, Chicken = ermmm....

New topic... I'd like to mention that the "new and improved" Tacos Nuevos Mexico on 5th Ave and 12th Street SUCKS!! They have raised their prices to crazy levels to match their new decor. The live music they had was REALLY loud and ridiculous... and the food is the same (good, but not even close to worth the price anymore...)
I used to LOVE this place when they were still 2 doors down... with the old prices and the old restaurant.
I guess the "South Slope" effect has killed this one. No reason to go north of the Prospect Expressway anymore for mexican food.

I got a theoretical question for the legal folks.
A friend of mine let a "friend" of his borrow some money (5K) and wrote out a check to his dad's name with the word "Loan" in the memo. The verbal agreement was that after half a year the kid would pay him back. A year and a half later and not a penny from the kid and the kid has disappeared and doesn't pick up the phone on my friend. My friend is taking his dad to small claims court (since the check was on his dad's name) and the court is next month. W
Question 1. What are his chances of winning?
Question 2. What if the dad/kid still refuses to pay after the judge's decision is granted? What are the following steps? Can he get a court order to garnish a percentage of salary every month until it's paid?
Any advice will be very helpful.
Thanks!

Never lend money to a friend if you really need to have it returned.
The best you can do is get them to sign a Prommisory Note and that always becomes uncomfortable with a friend.

Kens - I'm afraid your pal is in for a phyrric victory. Chances are neither the kid nor the dad will appear at court. Your pal will get a judgement in his favor but it's pretty toothless & would involve more costs to pursue. Chances are their assets are already attached by others given the need for the loan in the first place.
Posted by: Arkady at August 27, 2009 11:58 AM
Kens, he'll likely get the money back. As far as collecting, you can take the judgement to the marshal along with the debtor's work info and start garnishing the wages.

Great idea about the cab door! I always just slam it shut (& sometimes take the number down & bitch to 311.) Slamming works off a bit of steam but leaving the door open - esp. the offside - will be my future reaction.

Dave, I know but my friend didn't ask for my opinion when he lent out the money. I knew the kid is shameless and wouldn't pay it back.
DH, I offered the bat idea BUT I wouldn't be doing it. An acquantance of mine offered me a number for Jamaican "collection agency" that he uses once in a while. They take like 50% but they guarantee 100% satisfaction. My friend is too nice of a guy to call because unlike Italian or Russian "collection agencies", these guys don't do much of taking. They produce physical injuries first, then resort to talking and collecting. We both didn't want to get involved with that. Maybe option 2 in the long term.
Snappy, thanks for the advice. I told him the same thing basically.

"i have to stop going to sleep with my hair wet."
We've been speaking of cultural differences between various groups. One that seems prevalent is Asians showering at night and non-Asians showering in the morning (and certain non-Asian PLUSAs opting to never shower).
Mrs. C and her family all shower at night. The reasoning (at least hers) that it is gross to get into bed at night when you are all sweaty and smelly at the end of the day. (Apparently she doesn't mind sleeping with a spouse with a dirty mind, however). I happen to shower at night and in the morning. My hair does not come out pretty after sleeping on it all night, let me tell you!

Posted by: more4less at August 27, 2009 12:17 PM
KEns, your friend should actually be suing both the father and the son b/c the verbal agreement was made with the son even though the check was made out to the father.
Your friend could likely win and it's a good thing he wrote "Loan" in the memo section because what kind of douchebag cashes a check that has that written on it without asking questions?
So, if the judge does side w/ your friend and they still refuse to pay that would be contempt of court and they could be thrown in jail. And then the Jamaican collection agency can have a go at it.
that's all.

Posted by: TownhouseLady at August 27, 2009 12:27 PM
Kens...when they go to court, make sure they do not I repeat DO NOT agree to have the case heard by an arbitrator instead of a judge. An arbitrator's decisions in small claims court are not appealable if he loses. Though the standard of appeal on a re-hearing is very difficult to win (you have to prove that the judge failed to be fair and provide substantial justice - rarely ever proven) you still want to have the opportunity to appeal if necessary.

Kens, when they get there for the proceeding, they will be asked if they want an arbitrator. Both parties have to agree to it for one to be used. They do that to help free up actual judges. The arbitrators are lawyers but not judges. Not that they know less or are less fair/more fair than the judges, but the whole thing of being unappealable is not good.

Posted by: TownhouseLady at August 27, 2009 12:33 PM
Oh, and if your friend wins and they party they are suing wants to appeal, they'll have to first put up a bond in the amount of the judgment won. That would be a good thing for your friend because if the debtor loses the appeal, the bond money will go to your friend as payment of the judgment.

"Hey, Dirty - are you going to provide a review of the NIN concert? Or just the cab ride home?"
Haha - sorry I'm still recovering and letting it sink in.
It was really amazing. Currently, NIN are on their farewell tour, as Reznor has announced he will not be making anymore new music or touring. Rather then playing a show at MSG or a big venue, they are only playing shows at small venues. Last night was technically their last concert in NYC ever (they played at Bowery Ballroom and Webster Hall late last week and early this week - last night was the 2nd of 2 nights at Terminal 5)
Sooo - The space last night only has a 3k capacity so there really isn't a bad viewing point in the place.
I eventually made it to front and center. The set list was great. They played about 35 songs - almost everything from ‘The Downward Spiral” (sans Ruiner and Closer) some old stuff off 'Pretty Hate Machine' (terrible lie, head like a hole, down in it) and stuff off the newer albums. The place was SUPER HOT! Everyone was pushing up against each other all sweaty. It was so hot Trent and the gang were throwing bottles of water into the crowd, and we were taking swigs and passing them back.
The crowd was pretty rough in the beginning, a few people got jacked up and had to be dragged out by security. By the middle we were all so tired that we calmed down a bit.
Peter Murphy (of the band Bauchus – the father of Goth) who is one of Trent’s biggest influences came out during the encore. He was suspended upside down from the ceiling like a bat, and sang the song Reptile with Trent .
So it was almost 3 hours straight of music. I’m not the biggest NIN fan – but that was definitely amongst the Top 5 shows I’ve been to.

A little professional humor:
Q: What's the difference between a rat and a squirrel?
A: A publicist.
**
It's a beautiful spring day in downtown Raleigh, N.C., in the park near the capitol. Folks are picnicking and children are playing.
Suddenly, a pit bull attacks a 3-year-old child, and everyone is paralyzed in shock.
The child is screaming, the dog is snarling and biting. A man steps forward, separates the child and the animal, and snaps the dog's neck.
Everyone exhales in relief, and a young woman runs over to the man.
"Mister," she says, "That was incredible. I'm a reporter for the Raleigh News and Observer, and this is going to be on the front page of tomorrow's edition. I can see the headline now—Raleigh Man Saves Tot!"
And he says, "Well, actually, I'm not originally from Raleigh."
And she says, "I can see the headline now—North Carolina Man Stops Attack!"
And he says, "Well, to tell the truth, I'm not originally from North Carolina."
She asks, "Where are you from?"
"New York," he replies.
And she says, "I can see the headline now—Yankee Bastard Slays Family Pet!"
**
Q: What does the wife of a public relations expert do when she has insomnia?
A: She rolls over and says, “Tell me again, darling, just what is it that you do for a living?”
**
Moses and his flock arrive at the sea, with the Egyptians in hot pursuit. Moses calls a staff meeting.
“Well, how are we going to get across the sea?” asks Moses. “We need a fast solution. The Egyptians are close behind us.”
“Normally, I'd recommend that we build a pontoon bridge to carry us across,” says the general of the armies, “but there's not enough time—the Egyptians are too close.”
“Normally, I'd recommend that we build barges to carry us across,” says the admiral of the navy, “but time is too short.”
“Does anyone have a solution?” asks Moses.
Just then, his public relations man raises his hand.
“You!” says Moses, “You have a solution?”
“No,” says the PR man, “but I can promise you this: If you can find a way out of this one, I can get you two or three full pages in the Old Testament...”
**
“I'm thinking of leaving my husband,” complained the wife of a well-known public relations expert. “All he ever does is stand at the end of our bed and tell me how good things are going to be.”
**
A mathematician, an accountant and a public relations officer all applied for the same job with a large company.
The interviewer called in the mathematician first and asked, "What does two plus two equal?"
The mathematician replied, "Four."
The interviewer asked, "Four, exactly?"
The mathematician looked at the interviewer incredulously and said, "Yes, of course: four, exactly."
Then the interviewer called in the accountant and asked the same question, "What does two plus two equal?"
The accountant said, "On average, four — give or take 10 percent, but on average, four."
Then the interviewer called in the public relations officer and again posed the same question, "What does two plus two equal?"
The public relations officer got up, locked the door, closed the shade, sat down next to the interviewer and whispered, "What do you want it to equal?"
**
Q: How many PR people does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: I don't know. I'll have to get back to you. What's your deadline? Can I e-mail it to you?

Outback has a couple of outlets in Hong Kong. It's wildly popular. Especially the onion rings.

So I go to the barber to get a trim (yes, I go to an Italian barber with the striped pole, not some la di da hair styling salon) and the guy's fingers right by my schnozzola are reaking of smoke. Note to barbers: if you're a chain smoker, PLEASE was your hands before cutting hair. The good news is we made no idle, uncomfortable chit chat and I could daydream.
Question: Who likes talking to their barber/stylist the whole time they are cutting hair and who prefers silence?

Yes, I found a guy not far from the office whom I like, notwithstanding the cigarette smell.
I guess I just don't like talking to barbers (and cabbies) just for the sake of talking. If they are interesting, that's another story. My barber is NOT interesting.

Posted by: daveinbedstuy at August 27, 2009 2:47 PM
You're always advised to change vac bags if you've been hoovering up fleas, etc. I doubt that recycled soap suds would support life but you might sanitize the brushes w/ a weak Clorox solution just to be safe w/ the begbugs & wormies.

"Question: Who likes talking to their barber/stylist the whole time they are cutting hair and who prefers silence?"
I speak when spoken to; the stories and conversation they make is so old-school it mystifies me. Years of attendance have warmed me up to them (and vice versa.
"Cobble, yes they are still away until just before Labour Day. Upon their return, I expect my liver to send them a thank you card and flowers for coming home."
I have a married friend, whenever his wife takes the kids away he calls me up to hang out and drink. He was supposed to move his sister-in-law out of her Brooklyn apartment once, but someone else did it. He was livid - why? A guilt-free weekend in NYC with me was cruelly snatched away.

biff,
I used to go to an old Italian barber,
I mean this place was ancient,
and so was the barber,
he had ads for combs from the 1940's on the wall
and the floor was mosaic tile. The chairs were those classic red leather barber chairs which weighed about 2 tons and were made in Ohio.
he didn't talk at all,
I still don't know if he spoke English.
and I didn't ask, especially when he was
sharpening the straight razor against that
leather strap.

*rob*, Ed Zachary disease -
A woman was very distraught at the fact that she had not had a date or any sex in quite some time.
She was afraid she might have something wrong with her, so she decided to seek the medical expertise of a sex therapist. Her doctor recommended that she see Dr. Chang, the well-known Chinese sex therapist, so she went to see him.
Upon entering the examination room, Dr. Chang said, "OK, take off all you crose." The woman did as she was told. "Now, get down and craw reery, reery fass to odder side of room." Again, the woman did as she was instructed. Dr. Chang then said, "OK, now craw reery, reery fass back to me." So she did.
Dr. Chang shook his head slowly and said, "Your probrem vewy bad. You haf Ed Zachary Disease. Worse case I ever see. Dat why you not haf sex or dates."
Worried, the woman asked anxiously, "Oh my God, Dr. Chang, what is Ed Zachary Disease?"
Dr. Chang looked the woman in the eye and replied, "Ed Zachary Disease is when your face rook Ed Zachary rike your ass."

bitter retort -- Other than Juliette Binoche (who has always been sort of a number one in my book), it's tough to say. I have always been attracted to super smarties, which is not so much of a physical thing (my money is where my mouth is on this so to speak - I once dated a rather full bodied and not particularly attractive woman just because she got the highest GPA in her law school section and I thought that was hot). I thought Jodie Foster was hot for a while when I was younger (doesn't play for my team, I know). The girl in the first Jason Bourne movie was pretty hot (she gets shot at the beginning of the second movie). Other than that I'm kind of drawing a blank at the moment.

Kens, I also have a friend who works amongst the Hollywood set and she says that Tom Cruise's pick up line on the set is, "can you be discreet?"

Legion- if your dentist was Dr. Tabershaw in the Bronx, we had the same guy! He gave Novocain shots that were worse than suffering through the drilling. It used to be a contest of wills- he would try to see how long it would take before I would give in and beg for Novocain. I never did. One time he drilled so deep there was blood everywhere and he was practically begging me to take a shot- and I said no. Still- he gave neat little toys. Loved the whistling ring.
He was actually a sweet man away from his drill. He used to tell my parents to convince me to take the novacain but hey! I'm Jewish. It was my first real lesson in giving guilt :-)

This is taking us to 800 for sure!!!!! I think he meant Rob is banned along with Randi and What.

Let's back off outing celebrities on this site. Whether there are or they aren't, nobody should have to deal with the kind of crap that gets plastered over every supermarket tabloid or crappy TMZ / Access Hollywood thing.

Yes, it looks like Mr. B did ban
What
randi
ghettoazz
in the Mews thread.

i don't think rob was banned, i think it was the azzpach person.

cobble, he is around, just never in the OT.
denton, holy moly, I can't believe that Mr. B would cut the lifeline for The What or Rob. Randi should have been gone a long time ago.
Posted by: Kensingtonian at August 27, 2009 4:12 PM
yeah, DIBS and CG_Ups, I don't think it was Rob after looking again.
Rob, are you still out there? I hope so.

Here is a question, does Mr. B ban IPs or the user names?
Because if it's IPs, you will have your theory that BHO=WHAT=Cornerbodega pretty quickly.
Posted by: Kensingtonian at August 27, 2009 4:19 PM
HAY-sus! bxgrl, drilling without Novacain?!! I may faint. I need novacain, xanax and some advil just to get through it. And even then, I'm white-knuckling it.

Dave, I know that but I thought ROTW was not the same as The What. Figured it was discussed and settled on.
Posted by: Kensingtonian at August 27, 2009 4:20 PM
bxgrl,
no novocaine? were you ever in the Israeli army?
and as a kid no less.
have to give you props on that.
When I see my dentist now, he knows the first thing to do is to give me that needle and I'm good.
don't want to revisit that childhood trauma.

I won't miss randi or ghettoazz but unless the What returns I'm going to have to pick one of you losers to argue with.
BHO, brickoven & cornerbodega just aren't up to the task!!!
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at August 27, 2009 4:25 PM
I bet he'll be back- after awhile. But he might have banned rob- i don't see any posts from him after 3:34 which is when Jon posted on the Carleton Mews thread.
I confess- I don't like the way jscheff writes about Crown Heights or Bed-Stuy. And I've been pretty vocal about it. On the other hand, I'm not going to waste time gratuitously attacking him. Rob's been in an odd mood today. Maybe this whole week even.
Posted by: bxgrl at August 27, 2009 4:25 PM
"Because if it's IPs, you will have your theory that BHO=WHAT=Cornerbodega pretty quickly."
Good point, Kens. Should be interesting to see if they are all gone.
DH, totally agree. I thought he was wrong re: the Crown Heights thread but he's taken a ton of heat for other stuff that I don't think he or she deserved.

Posted by: ghettoazzpnkbtch at August 27, 2009 4:27 PM
I hope Rob wasn't banned because he was in the process of switching teams and that was throwing off the required Sexual Orientation Ratio.
Seriously, I'll be said if this is permanent. Poor guy, he was having a bad day already. I really think he means well.
Posted by: Biff Champion at August 27, 2009 4:27 PM

But Rob was rude to Jscheff, and he should stop that!
Posted by: cobblehiller at August 27, 2009 4:30 PM
Mr. B's always had a bit of a thing with Rob. I sense he just don't understand his Rob-ness.
I hope he reverses the decision. While he might have said it a little nicer he certainly did have a point about the quality of the photos.

(You don't impress, Dave. You are a sad little man.)
Posted by: ghettoazzpnkbtch at August 27, 2009 4:33 PM
I think there may have been a buildup of frustration in general over the frequent posters railing on jscheff. It has seemed a bit out of bounds at times, and at the least somewhat mean spirited to the new guy. It's a shame that Rob got caught in the crossfire though, as I think this website has been a good outlet for him. Hopefully people who are in touch with him directly can continue to provide support.
Posted by: CG_ups at August 27, 2009 4:33 PM
"Brighton...those rumors are typically started by queens who have nothing else to talk about."
Phew, that's a relief DIBS. I thought my gaydar was pretty good, and it wasn't going off with HJ.

Posted by: Biff Champion at August 27, 2009 4:35 PM
Not all the frequent posters, but I sense that Mr B or jscheff would feel ganged up on at times. It can be really hurtful to be on the receiving end.

I don't even find what he said about Crown Heights offensive at all. It was a poorly delivered tounge-in-cheek comment about the correlation btw 'artists' and restaurants opening in 'gentrifying' neighborhoods.
Yet being new - he obviously didn't realize that on Brownstoner you can't even allude to the fact that Crown Heights wasn't perfect the way it was without being considered a racist

C Gar gas several times this week snatched victory from Snappy so we've decided to ban him until we hit the 800 mark and snappy will be the winner. (Bear in mind biff- don't even think it!)
Rob is a sweetheart and he is quite a character but sometimes he just can't stop himself. He needs to stop posting the unedited stream of consciousness that unleashes all manner of spewage. On the other hand- rob adds a lot to the conversation too and sometimes he is brilliantly funny, insightful and delicious. On the Sunset Park thread today he wasn't but his comments about jscheff's photography really weren't evil enough to warrant banning. I guess it just added up and that was the straw that broke the camel's back.

(No, Jessi, I got it right. Dave thought i was banned and tried to talk smack thinking I wouldn't see it. Sad, sad little man.
He talks about himself all day long. And he makes everything about his sexual exploits. Boring.
By his own admission, he pays for his sexual companionship. That makes him a John.
He has no boyfriends. He has no committed relationships. He is emotionally stunted. It is painfully obvious, especially since he admits to his sexual conquests all day long.
It is pathetic really.
You may like him and I have always kept my thoughts about him to myself despit eht fact that he ruins several threads with his verbal sparring, but if he thinks he is such a tough guy, he needs to own up to his own shortcomings and take it like the sad little person he is.)

DH- no, that wasn't it and it wasn't tongue in cheek. No one claims Crown Heights is perfect. On the other hand those of us who know the neighborhood, know that we don't need Manhattanites to "save us." Maybe he learned the other lesson- know your subject before you write about it.

DH, I don't think it was a conscious, intentional insult, but what he said was ignorant and very insulting. But he received the feedback and I think everyone should have moved on. It takes a long time to pick up on everyone's various sensitivities around here. I haven't seen anything else from him that was overly offensive.

Posted by: cobblehiller at August 27, 2009 4:51 PM
“I don't think rob is ever inntentionally meanspirited like the othere”
Well, let’s review some of Rob’s comments from today:
“3pm outside any school in nyc is liking being locked in a cage with a pack of wild animals.”
and…
“it's just that too many stupid people breed. it's disgusting. it's absolutely disgusting that people in nyc get benefits out the a$$ and paid to breed even more stupid people who breed. barf.”
and…
“it's just lame, the whole dynamic of housing prices and schools and parents and kids and everything. it's all LAME”
and….
“whatever. maybe one or two of them. but the majority are borderline retarded, violent, and dull.”
Nope, none of those comments are intentionally mean-spirited. Just ignorant and angry.
Hey DH, I didn't like jscheff's Crown Heights post. I thought it was insulting, as I said back then. He said basically said the neighborhood was crap before Tavern on Nostrand "brought Crown Heights up to its standards." Montrose Morris, and other *balanced* posters agreed. However, I think Jscheff has otherwise done a good job. I'm willing to move on.

OK- can the glitter- we can use metallic hot stamping instead.
Legion- I learned a hard lesson from my dentist. there is a fine line between strong will and sheer stupidity. I just have this thing about not admitting I'm in pain or I'm frightened of something. Have no clue why. My father was the same way. However, these days I refuse to leave the waiting room until i see the dentist actually standing there with the needle at the ready, dripping novacain and a back up needle just in case he trips on his way to my mouth.

I bet most men would probably pay to have sex with a prostitute before they'd voluntarily spend an evening with you. Trustme, I can tell by the bitterness in your personality.
You should be banned and I expressed that opinion. I thought you'd see it anyway. Being banned does not mean you can't read the thread, stupid.

Bxgrl, it's part of that old school non-whiny pre-self-esteem for-everyone-regardless-of-accomplishment way of thinking! So much better than people these days who need to be insulated (and insulate their kids) from everything. That said, I'm all in favor of novocaine.

cobble, I think you're wrong. As much as randi was a jerk, she was never an a@@hole like ghetto is. randi never posted the type of stupid sh1t that ghetto drones on and on with

"I thought ghetto hated The What and didn't mind DIBS."
Wow....so did I. I actually thought ghettopunk...etc. was one of Dave's alternate logins. Clearly I was wrong on that one!

you are an idiot cobble.
Still reading, Dave? Willing to own up to the fact that you got caught with your pants down? Or are you just as immature about your non-sexual contacts with other people?

Perhaps, ENY, but this whole kerfuffle between DIBS and ghetto could be a ruse designed to mislead us and throw us off the scent! (although a cat metaphor would be better)

6 yrs- so sorry I missed your farewell party! Had a conflicting event :-(
*sigh* it took me years to realize novocain was my friend. But I've had so many medical issues over the years that I am totally used to needles now. When I was a kid just the sight of one would send me screaming from the room. Now not seeing one sends me reeling :-)

Posted by: brickoven at August 27, 2009 5:04 PM
ENY, I'm reading the exchanges in shock.
ghetto's posts were always in response to The What and, at least implicitly, supported DIBS.
What a crazy day!
Posted by: Biff Champion at August 27, 2009 5:04 PM
Dave, you are the queen of droning. You forget that everything you write about is here on this site. Your narcissism knows no bounds.
You got busted, you can't own up and now you are going to try to insut me? Sad little man.
I hope you are not as two-faced with everyone else on this site. Maybe B'stoner should ban random people and we can see what you really think of them. Sad little man.

WTF is that supposed to mean??? How did I get caught with my pants down??
If you're talking about me posting about you getting booted and not thinking you'd see it because I wasn't man enough i already addressed that.
ONLY you would be stupid enough to assume that just because you were banned it also meant you couldn't see the thread.
And, more importantly, I DON"T GIVE A SHIT WHAT YOU'D THINK ANYWAY
I'm responding to you for MY amusement.

Posted by: DitmasSnark at August 27, 2009 5:10 PM
cobble, Mr. B bans IPs so who ever got banned, wouldn't be able to post under different names. So if ghetto is posting, it's not Randi, What or Rob.
Posted by: Kensingtonian at August 27, 2009 5:10 PM
randi always said she is from Ft greene, the azzpnkbtch says Clinton Hill.
I'm not sure why I'm even arging with someone named "ghettoazzpnkbtch." LOL

Sorry to interject here...I'm late to the party and I just caught about the last 25 or so messages, but I feel I need to respond to Dave's quote
"I might be out another night with a hustler but that's my preference."
Yes, that IS your preference, but didn't you go apeshit crazy the other day Dave about the Bjork story saying that physical violence is illegal no matter what the circumstances (even though Bjork was followed for days and that reporter had crossed the line with regard to her space more than once).
How is this different? Is prostitution not illegal?
Posted by: 11217 at August 27, 2009 5:11 PM
Dave, you thought you could write what you want and I couldn't respond. Well I can and I have proven that you can't deal. You are a two-faced sad little man who pays for sex. Sad, sad, sad little man.

She has to wear the glass slipper stilettos.

Posted by: daveinbedstuy at August 27, 2009 5:12 PM
"You got busted, you can't own up and now you are going to try to insut me?"
ghetto, what did DIBS get busted for? This?
"I won't miss randi or ghettoazz but unless the What returns I'm going to have to pick one of you losers to argue with."
I actually thought your posts were extremely clever in the past. I'm not sure why you seem so pissed now.

GET OVER YOURSELF!!!!
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at August 27, 2009 5:14 PM
You can't stop arguing, Dave, because it is about you and you love it. Sad, sad little man. Willing to admit you did wrong, got caught and are being called out as a sex-addicted, immature little man? Didn't think so. It would require a level of maturity you don't possess
Posted by: ghettoazzpnkbtch at August 27, 2009 5:14 PM
"How is this different? Is prostitution not illegal? "
not to defend dave - because i actually agree with Bjork getting violent was okay given the circumstances, but prostitution is a victimless crime.
Posted by: dirty_hipster at August 27, 2009 5:16 PM
Kens- you can post from different IPs with the right programs. Used to be a troll here who no matter how many times Mr. B blocked the address, he could still post.
Posted by: bxgrl at August 27, 2009 5:16 PM
Maybe if we hit 900 Mr. B will let Rob back.
Posted by: Arkady at August 27, 2009 5:16 PM
Dave did you fu%*^& 11217 and not call him back?
11217 is ghetto
Posted by: brickoven at August 27, 2009 5:17 PM
11217, it's not prostitution. I don't pay for sex. I pay for them to leave when I want them to leave. :)
And, the crime of prostitution is first of all, not the John's problem. That would be soliciting. neither one of them are felonies like assault typically is. You need to get your priorities in order. Illegal parking is a crime too.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at August 27, 2009 5:17 PM

bxgrl, not if you are on cable connection or at work. Unless you are in IT at your job that is. I can definitely twig IPs if I wanted to but it'll be impossible at work and very hard on Cable connection.
Posted by: Kensingtonian at August 27, 2009 5:18 PM

We're going to 900 in any event. But I do hope he let's Rob back on.

Hey ghetto, you really think you "called me out" on the sex addiction thing??? LOL I freely admit to it. I've freely admitted to a lot of things. You think that bothers me?? LOL
If it did I wouldn't admit to it so freely. Use your head.
I think you're losing this argument and are just PWNING yourself.

Posted by: Biff Champion at August 27, 2009 5:21 PM
Biff: Thank you. I appreciate your posts.
Dave: You got caught talking smack and thinking I couldn't come back and call you on it. Sure, if I were banned, I could read your post but I wouldn't be able to respond. You would have "gotten away with" being a little douche. Well guess what, I called you on being a douche. And I pointed out that you act like you are everyone's friend (except the What, et al.), but you are not. You are a two-faced, sad sack of a little man. You want to keep arguing, Dave, let's go. I don't have to meet my married with child "bf" that I pay for. I have a life, Dave. You do not.
Keep going Dave. You got caught being a little bitch and now I am going to keep your feet to teh fire. Grow up, if that is possible. You sad, sad little man.

I don't think 11217 is ghetto either. Except for his defense of Bjork's assault, I rather like him. he always adds something to the real estate discussion, as opposed to anything that ghetto has ever posted in her whole sorry life here

You're just pissed I made you look like a fool earlier today, and you usually do, you make personal attacks when you are proven wrong.
Here we are again. I don't think anyone besides you or Cobble would think I'm this other identity.
Posted by: 11217 at August 27, 2009 5:26 PM
Dave, get a clue. Don't hold yourself out as having boyfriends or partners. Your behavior screams immature on so many levels. You are an immature, narcissistic, sad little man. You are unimpressive. And your attempts to belittle me don't work in deflecting the truth.
Keep going, Dave. YOu have no life. You can do this all day long, right? Sad little man.

Re Rob I'm w ENY. He says some nasty shit sometimes, that he gets away with cuz people feel sorry for him.
The only time I ever complained to Mr. B about anything anyone ever said was when he called another poster's children 'crotchfruit'. A term he uses regularly and that I find offensive.
I wouldn't mind if he came back someday but let him think for a while.

JB, when can my boyz Kens & DH have the oppty to meet your new roommates?
Posted by: more4less at August 27, 2009 5:35 PM
Here's what I posted that started this whole thing::
I won't miss randi or ghettoazz but unless the What returns I'm going to have to pick one of you losers to argue with.
BHO, brickoven & cornerbodega just aren't up to the task!!!

I post it again just so that it drives that insane lady even more crazy!!!!
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at August 27, 2009 5:36 PM
What adults? There are adults here?
Posted by: bxgrl at August 27, 2009 5:36 PM
your post @ 5:33 was unimpressive. I don't shrink at your pathetic attempts to insult me. I got under your skin awhile back and it is killing you. Your continuing attempts to attack are sad and foolish.
Posted by: ghettoazzpnkbtch at August 27, 2009 5:37 PM
M4L, I move in this weekend so I'll start talking up these awesome guys I know very soon.
Posted by: jessibaby at August 27, 2009 5:38 PM
bxgrl, you haven't been combative enough for my entertainment recently so sit down. the chocolate snacks are being passed down your way.

And I'm with Denton on this. Rob was over the top today and needs a little timeout.

"DH, you back off. Let the adults fights."
I like arguements about actual topics with informed viewpoints. This is asinine.

brighton beoch, are you and bitter retort a couple??
Oy vey, my head is spinning. Are you really going to The Clover Club tonight? Maybe I'll swing by.
Posted by: Biff Champion at August 27, 2009 5:40 PM
I am not crazy, Dave and you repeating it doesn't make it so. Sad try though.
You can't stand this, can you?
Keep cutting and pasting, DAve. And don't forget to talk about yourself again.
Posted by: ghettoazzpnkbtch at August 27, 2009 5:40 PM
When did you get under my skin??? LOL
if the What can't get under my skin do you really think someone like you can???? Talk about narcissistic.
Admit it lady, you've PWNED yourself quite badly here today. And it IS anusement for all of us.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at August 27, 2009 5:41 PM
How old are you, Dave? 50+? You are nearing retirement and this is what you do with yourself. Sad, sad, sad little man.
Posted by: ghettoazzpnkbtch at August 27, 2009 5:42 PM
dave up to task on arguing with you? I think you are funny and all but you are the most clueless person in finance I have ever come across

bxgrl, can you pass the chocolates please? Do they go with Chardonnay?
Posted by: cobblehiller at August 27, 2009 5:42 PM
hey 11217 - been to any cool new bars/restos lately?
Posted by: dirty_hipster at August 27, 2009 5:42 PM
DH, I checked whole blog and this is all the action going on right now - which makes sense since most people are gone except for our sad bunch here
Posted by: more4less at August 27, 2009 5:43 PM
Cool, M4L. Sorry to be so disappointing lately. (I have popcorn).
BTW- MM and I went over and got pictures. have lots of ideas for the space- and we lifted off the metal radiator cover. Did you know the original art nouveau radiator is still there? It's gorgeous!
Posted by: bxgrl at August 27, 2009 5:45 PM
"sad bunch"
HEY! Whose side are you on M4L!!! LOL!!
Posted by: cobblehiller at August 27, 2009 5:45 PM
No, not a couple - Siamese twins (see our disclosure from earlier today).
Yes, we are DEFINITELY going to be at Clover Club. Might be 6:30-ish (rather than 6:30 as previously stated). Would be honored to meet you in the flesh (re-write?).
Posted by: brighton beoch at August 27, 2009 5:45 PM
cobble- chocolate goes with everything- as does chardonnay. Have some of the popcorn too.

Posted by: brickoven at August 27, 2009 5:48 PM
brighton beoch, how long will you be there do you think?
Not sure I can make it, but will try.
Posted by: Biff Champion at August 27, 2009 5:48 PM
DH - I've been super insanely busy at work lately so I haven't been out a ton in the past couple weeks, but I'm LOVING Bark (it's the new Hot Dog place on Bergen between 5th and Flatbush) Excellent, and Six Points made a special brew just for them (Bark Red Ale) and it's only 3 bucks.
MUST try the disco fries, and all the dogs I've tried so far have been fantastic. Real quality stuff. The guys who opened it are from the former Cafe Grey and Franny's. I've been like 5 times in the past 2 weeks.
I did also go to Der Schwarze Koelner and I have to say I was super impressed. I like Franklin Park MUCH better. The space is just too small for what they are trying to do, in my opinion.
How about you...anything good?
Posted by: 11217 at August 27, 2009 5:49 PM
Dave, the What gets under your skin. That is why you can't let go when you argue with him.
I didn't get PWNED, Dave. I just held a mirror up to your behavior adn you saw how incredibly sad it is. Instead of just letting it go, you tried to fight it. But you can;t fight it, DAve. It is, by your own admission, part of who you are.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I doubt I am the only one who finds your behavior on this site very sad at times.
You should stick to talking about real estate and keep your fingers off the keyboard when the urge to write about yourself comes over you. You are not as interesting or mature as you think.
Posted by: ghettoazzpnkbtch at August 27, 2009 5:49 PM
Biff, you taking them up on that offer??? I've got diner on Atlantic at 8:15

Jessi, As previously stated earlier today, we are Siamese twins.

And i will be at dinner at 8:15, BO. I am not the trader. I am the PM. My orders are in and I'll watch the market but it won't be doing anything in particular one way or the other.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at August 27, 2009 5:50 PM
I don't trade Asian markets but am nonetheless wondering what the hell I'm still doing here! Oh yeah, waiting for #1,000, like the PL I am.

Biff, we should be there til at least 8, I think.

DIBS, I might stop by for one, but it depends on my plans afterwards as I have a couple of friends I'm waiting to hear back from. I'm always up for meeting new PLUSAs.
"almost 1000 posts - Mr B will def address this tomorrow."
DH, what do you mean will address it?
I wonder if the comment counter even goes into quadruple digits.

I think we trade ghetto for rob.

Maybe I should skip yoga. But that would be too, too PLUSA.

Good point, Biff, this could be a disaster the likes of Y2K!

"'crotchfruit'. A term he uses regularly and that I find offensive."
Yes...I'll be glad not to read that degrading and offensive term for a while.
Rob has a unique viewpoint and he's downright funny at times. But I thought he went too far today. And as you all recall, this isn't the first time he's been banned. He deserves to be banned until he can learn to grow up better control himself.

Posted by: jessibaby at August 27, 2009 6:02 PM
yeah i hear ya 11217 - been busy here at work too.
the hot dog place sounds cool - are they like gourmet dogs with weird stuff on em?
better not go there too much - hotdogs in excess are never a good thing!
nothing too noteworthy here - went to that new beer garden with a roof on Berry and N14th around the corner from the gutter and it was okay, better than Radegast but not great.
Had brunch at nita nita which was horrendous. i think it was my first time, but will most def be the last. food, service were terrible!
Posted by: dirty_hipster at August 27, 2009 6:02 PM
#2,000 is mine. Let's keep going until tomorrow morning, losers!
ENY, as the proud parent of two crotchfruits, I don't really take offense at the term, although this is the first and likely last time I'll ever type it. But I suppose I can see how it might offend.
Posted by: Biff Champion at August 27, 2009 6:03 PM
Biff,
It's certainly worth checking out, but since Franklin Park is about the same distance from my house as Der Schwarze Koelner, I can't see myself going back anytime soon. It's a really nice concept in a space that's WAY too small. And my idea of a beer garden (which this is marketed as) has a real garden space.
It will do just fine though. It's a great asset to that neighborhood and a cute place.
Posted by: 11217 at August 27, 2009 6:03 PM
"Aaahhh, now I can roll over and fall asleep...."
jessi, as long as you're not walking over the bridge while typing that.
Posted by: Biff Champion at August 27, 2009 6:04 PM
I'd like to thank the Pathetic Losers, The Asshats and most (self)importantly Daveinbdestuy for I'm certain without the multitudes of his narcissistic comments we never would have been able to drive the thread to the 1,000 mark (totally kidding/being sarcastic Dave!!).
Posted by: TownhouseLady at August 27, 2009 6:05 PM

Posted by: daveinbedstuy at August 27, 2009 5:56 PM
Now you resort to calling me other people. Your tactics are old and ineffective.
You think having more toys than someone else makes you better/smarter/correct. It proves that you are immature and think the possession of objects somehow proves your point. It points to your insecurity and immaturity.
And when you say toys, do you include the man you drag around to the meet ups because you are trying to impress your fellow posters? (Yes, you are trying to impress them.) Sad, sad little man.
Posted by: ghettoazzpnkbtch at August 27, 2009 6:05 PM
"Muffett isn't that bitter 11217"
Haha. I know...I was just joshin'
MM is really just a little overeager, that's all. She's a cool chick deep down, I'm sure.
Posted by: 11217 at August 27, 2009 6:05 PM
Dave, you are still a sad little narcissistic man who pays for sex and spend way too much time having cyber fights with people he doesn't know.
50+ years old? You act liek a 5 year old.
Grow up, Dave.

I can dig it, Biff. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. But we were all kids once. And if someone referred to my son as "crotchfruit" in my presence, there would be a problem. I'm just sayin'.

Posted by: TownhouseLady at August 27, 2009 6:09 PM
Oh, that's just great, 11217. Now you've given me yet ANOTHER place to check out (Franklin Park).
:-)
Seriously, thanks for the review. I have a feeling we would have similar opinions on most places so I appreciate the feedback.
Posted by: Biff Champion at August 27, 2009 6:09 PM
Yeah, did you see Bowlmor is going to open up in the old New York Times building in Midtown, apparently...?
I'd never set foot at the Brooklyn Bowl up there. No way, no how.
I like the dingy Port Authority bowling alley.

Thanks to the PLUSAs who kept me informed and to the PLUSAs who posted for me.
Posted by: CarrollGardened at August 27, 2009 6:12 PM
ENY, that's cool. I truly respect your opinion (and denton's), so I have to believe it is offensive to many. If he comes back, you should point it out to him, if you haven't already done so.
11217, you should seriously consider going with DH on a bar tour of Williamsburg some day (I would love to join you both too). He is an awesome tour guide and knows all the good spots.
Posted by: Biff Champion at August 27, 2009 6:13 PM
haha i'm inherently biased as i hate bowling.
i thought brooklyn bowl sounded like an awesome idea - real bowling, craft beers, performance space, blue ribbon restaurant.
but not after seeing that crowd/line. no thanks.
thanks for the link 11217 - i'll have to check it out.
later all - hopefully tomorrow we all don't have sand in our vajayjays ;)

And what is this about Rob being banned? I realize he was cranky today, but really? Is this a lifetime ban or a penalty box type of thing?
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 27, 2009 6:59 PM
Snappy, let's hope it's just the penalty box - remember he got it before and we all posted in his defense. Let's start the Save Rob! campaign tomorrow.
Posted by: sixyearsandcounting at August 27, 2009 7:02 PM
I agree Six. There were times when What was posting crap about smelling poster's privates through the computer and them needing monistat and he didn't get banned then. Banning Rob is not fair.
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 27, 2009 7:03 PM
My login name is ghettoazzpnkbtch. I post nonsense here whenever i can get away from my mundane day job. I know I am bitter. I have no life.
I am actually someone else's sockpuppet. Today Dave thought I got banned so I went ballistic. I sound like a crazy lady on the street. I am jealous of dave's sex life but that makes him a small man. He has paid for sex but no one will pay me for sex.
Now I want you to take my lunatic ranting seriously.

I am soooo not contributing to this!

Oops, didn't mean to say Benson would have a ridiculous comment...legion, maybe (not necessarily for the quality, simply for the repetition of non-original talking points).
Posted by: sixyearsandcounting at August 27, 2009 9:22 PM
Hey! I'm trying to get the last word here!
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 27, 2009 9:26 PM
Haha Snappy, you want the crown for Lord High Last Commenter too, huh?
Posted by: sixyearsandcounting at August 27, 2009 9:37 PM
You're damned skippy!
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 27, 2009 9:39 PM
Six, that would be me!
Posted by: Kensingtonian at August 27, 2009 9:40 PM
I'm drunk.
Posted by: 11217 at August 27, 2009 9:44 PM
Not so fast, Kensingtonian!
Posted by: sixyearsandcounting at August 27, 2009 9:50 PM
11217, you're drunk from alcohol or reading the OT makes you feel like you're drunk?
Posted by: sixyearsandcounting at August 27, 2009 9:50 PM
11217 Hola! watcha been drinkin'?
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 27, 2009 9:51 PM
I had to check in to see if you beat 1100 or 1111 and look who I find hanging about, InsertVicodanHere.
Posted by: TownhouseLady at August 27, 2009 9:58 PM
It's 10 pm. Do you know where your PLUSAs are?
Posted by: sixyearsandcounting at August 27, 2009 9:59 PM
ROFL!!!! I like that name :)
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 27, 2009 10:00 PM
You missed the action Snappy. It was total crazy town.
Posted by: TownhouseLady at August 27, 2009 10:03 PM
I see now that vicodin is not my friend...makes me miss out on the fun!
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 27, 2009 10:06 PM
WE ARE TOTAL PLs!!!!!
I am at home watching Royal Pains (love that show) and still checking in the OT.
Soon we'll need a PLUSA rehab clinic for Brownstoner cold turkey treatment.
Posted by: Kensingtonian at August 27, 2009 10:08 PM
We watch Royal Pains all the time too. Great show. We're too tired to watch tonight we'll watch it tomorrow morning.
I'm off to bed, hopefully to catch a good King of the Hill or Family Guy repeat.
Night!
Posted by: TownhouseLady at August 27, 2009 10:12 PM

Anyone want to start a fight to get it to 1200?? (if so u have 15 mins b4 i crash...)
Posted by: etson at August 27, 2009 10:12 PM
They tried to make me go to PLUSA rehab and I said NO NO NO!
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 27, 2009 10:14 PM
Ha ha ha. That was priceless Winehouse reference Snappy!
Posted by: Kensingtonian at August 27, 2009 10:17 PM
Do I have to drag this puppy to 1111 by myself?
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 27, 2009 10:18 PM

Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 27, 2009 10:33 PM
Sorry snappy :(
I'm out now, so I'll leave 1200 for you ;)
Posted by: etson at August 27, 2009 10:34 PM
Can I at least have the last word tonight? 1125, you are my new best friend. Sigh.
Good night, my sweet, but thieving PLUSAs! (I'm lookin' at you Biff, CarGar, Etson)

Posted by: cobblehiller at August 28, 2009 8:29 AM
1138...I guess you had a good time last night, Biff. You found the new PLUSAs to be acceptable???
I had too much wine to head over to where you were. besides, as we all know, I had to go home to payy for some sex.

Oh, right, Happy Birthday to the two of you.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at August 28, 2009 8:32 AM
Hey, Happy Birthday to Cobble and Snappy today! Any big plans?
Should we disregard today's OT and just post in here in perpetuity?
Let's see if we can run this mother into quintuple digits!
Posted by: Biff Champion at August 28, 2009 8:33 AM
"1138...I guess you had a good time last night, Biff. You found the new PLUSAs to be acceptable??? "
DIBS, fantastic time but I think we should save the deets for today's OT. Otherwise, how will we manage to break 500?
Posted by: Biff Champion at August 28, 2009 8:34 AM
I will lose interest once it gets bounced from the front page. I have a very short attention span. I am a sad, sad man.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at August 28, 2009 8:35 AM
Thanks Biff!
The rain put the kaibosh on our outdoor plan, so we are revising at the moment.
"Should we disregard today's OT and just post in here in perpetuity?"
LOL!!
Posted by: cobblehiller at August 28, 2009 8:40 AM
Biff, Cobble and I will be expecting a FGVOTD in our honor :)

Uh oh, the pressure is on!!
Posted by: Biff Champion at August 28, 2009 8:42 AM
**this is the thread that never ends
it just goes on and on my friends
some PLUSAs started typing here not knowing what it was

I have no real meaning or purpose in my life. I hate everyone and I spend my time pointlessly attacking complete strangers. I think my bullsh*t comments are actually hurting people and making an important point. I am a sad, sad woman.

Are all the others still in bed??? Talk about pathetic.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at August 28, 2009 8:49 AM
1200 will be mine!!! I've been denied for far too long here!

I came to see how many posts were here, and you people are still carrying on. I feel like I'm watching "They Just Shoot Horses", it's an endless marathon of posting.
Happy Birthday, Cobble and Snappy! What a cosmic convergence! Get out there and have some fun, if possible on this rainy day.
First time all week, I have to run around for clients, and it rains. Figures.
Posted by: Montrose Morris at August 28, 2009 9:03 AM
Whoops, should be "They Shoot Horses, Don't they?" Too early for intelligent thought.

Morning MM and thanks :)

If I have to have two windows of brownstoner open, one to view this OT and one to view the current threads, I think I'd have to reassess my whole life.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at August 28, 2009 9:10 AM
We've decided to never stop posting in this thread.

Oh, I'm just to sad to go on. Our poor mascot is dead :(
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at August 28, 2009 9:16 AM
MM, every PLUSA knows that the OT is posted at 9:15 +/- 2 minutes. Come on.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at August 28, 2009 9:17 AM
"SWALLOW, THE OFFICIAL STONER PET DIED!!! waaaaaah :("
A moment of silence, please, while we remember our precious friend Swallow.
Posted by: cobblehiller at August 28, 2009 9:18 AM
I guess now would be a good time to tell you that Swallow passed away over the weekend...
