Closing Bell: Meet The Latest Slope Rant
Denis Hamill gets his working-class panties in a bunch today in a rambling column aimed at Park Slope gentrifiers, a group that he claims is attracted to Brooklyn because it’s “a great place to displace working people, for nannies to raise your kids and to rant against Atlantic Yards.” We know it’s the end of…
Denis Hamill gets his working-class panties in a bunch today in a rambling column aimed at Park Slope gentrifiers, a group that he claims is attracted to Brooklyn because it’s “a great place to displace working people, for nannies to raise your kids and to rant against Atlantic Yards.” We know it’s the end of the year and you’re probably running low on ideas, Denis, but, come on. It’s hard to think of a more tired, unoriginal topic or stereotype. Sounds like a little vacation is in order to recharge the old batteries.

You may be that too, rob. But you still have points. And, there is nothing wrong with that.
and EW armchair, i dont think i EVER mentioned i buy snacks in a bodega. lol. that’s just downright tawdry! it boggles my mind when i DO see people shopping for their ‘snacks’ in the bodegas.
*rob*
thanks heather for giving me some points in this thread and not automatically dismissing anything i say as the crazy rants of a hannah montana-loving trashboy living in park slope on the down low 🙂
*rob*
ill tell you this armchairwarrior (how apropos of a name btw) beer in bodegas IS cheaper. well malt liquor 40 ounces, they dont carry those in the ‘suopermarkets’. 2.50 for a 40 ounce in a store. and the cigs are ALWAYS cheaper. go make me a price match and ill give you a point. 🙂
and who the hell buys their beer in the supermarket they shop? that’s like the old saying, you dont shi+ where you eat! gross!
*rob*
sorry to tell you this rob buying drinks or snacks from a bodega isn’t cheap at all. you should go to a supermarket instead to buy bulk.
Rob also has a point about the public school thing and harlem.
whoa i totally channeled the what in my last post. sorry lol. i just get upset by uppity types, that’s all. and yes they come in all colors, DUH. why people always bring that up is also odd. but whatever. again, it’s uppity types who think their poo mist is CK1 (sorry i had to think long and hard of a random perfume and i couldnt think of one til that . you get my point) newsflask your poo mist is jean nate!! it’s BROOKLYN, not beverly hills!
/rant over!
have a lovely night
*rob*
Sorry Havelc, I reread your post. You were just making a point, I guess, which is true. This topic in general is pretty annoying. Tired from my day job and my life as landed gentry.
you people just like to hate anything i say cuz, well, im *rob*. i had this long reply to this but i got logged out grrrr triple GRR actually cuz im gonna type it again now that im logged back in
1.) you can buy your 3 mil brownstone in harlem but you know just as well as i do you wont send your crotchfruit to the public schools.
2.) crack is gone? yeah okay. crack was smoked in the stairwells of a beautiful pre-war building in hamilton heights overlooking the hudsno river and the jersey gold coast non stop stop and while you dont step on glass vials anymore, well uh there’s a damm reasnon for that genius. crack doesnt come in vials anymore.
3.) you WILL whine incessantly on the internet amongst your peers that you hate all the dollar stores and bodegas (that some people actually PREFER. shocking i know) versus stupid overpriced yuppie GARBAGE!
4.) i swear i had another point, but i cant think of it now! time for a beer. a CHEAP one from a bodega.
5.) oh yeah my point was that i have nothing against any of you who prefer to live in ‘nicer’ neighborhoods, but i see more anymousity from people who just because they bought something for millions of dollars in the hood their opinion is more valid. bite me and bite everyone else who thinks the crackerfication of nyc SUCKS!
