This one might not make the police blotter reports but a basil thief is upsetting the equilibrium on one block of Carroll Gardens. According to Lost City, someone has been stealing basil from a planter box in the front yard of a house on President, causing multi-generational distress: “The children are quite disturbed by your actions. And so are the adults,” reads the postscript to a sign telling the thief to “Stop taking our basil!” Any word on whether the culprit has been apprehended yet?
I have more currants still growing for the entree, arkady. Wait ’till the apples and figs are ripe and we can have them as dessert with a cheese course from stinky cheese along with some herbs that I’ve stolen from down the street.
The chronic overbite is oftentimes accompanied by the walking pigeon-style head bobbing in synch with the beat. Or out of synch in some cases.
Dibs – Don’t you remember, you were going to use the currants to make sauce chausseur & have me over for venison or wild boar?
Yes, ditto, and the first time you put on Exile on Mainstreet or some Wilson Pickett after fatherhood you develop a chronic overbite to go with the bad dancing. Not pretty.

Rob, let’s face it, you’re just a herb in the ghetto :-).
I may be a daddy but I’ve never been a father.
Rob – the bad-pun gene is only expressed once you beome a father, hence your lack of ability. Its like the bad-dancing gene and the christmas-sweater-wearing gene.
Arkady, I have red currants growing in the yard here in Brooklyn and last week we made a ton of red currant & raspberry jam
