rob….I saw that too and supposedly he has a girlfriend!!!!! WTF??????
There was a story a few months ago about some incredibly flamboyant guy in short shorts getting beat up way up by Gates Ave.
“that said, i think referencing here “i know this person’s real name” or such kind of creates an unnecessary divide.”
Well, it’s kind of unavoidable CG_ups, some of us email each other off-line. I suppose it doesn’t need to be pointed up, but it does happen.
I’m considering filing a lawsuit against Brownstoner for using my copywrited nickname in university as the title of the Governor’s Island ferry thread.
Biffy – But at least we know what that looks like.
Still, it would be less embarrassing than trying to get bowl of dicks’ attention.

That was awesome Biff! Also “Big Jugs” and “Blow of swinging Nick” comes to mind.
I like the way Kens refers to DH as “Dirty.”
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.
Biff! Very true! Also calling out for Big Swinging Nick!
Hey Pole Smoker in Bed Stuy! I thought we was going to have a positive GNP is the second quarter! I think your “analysis” is flawed or retarded!
U.S. Economy Contracted 1%, Less Than Anticipated (Update2)
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=a05Ac9cgwuv0
I love the “Less than anticipated” and “unexpected” buzzwords! More lies and obfuscation!
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)!

Someday this war is gonna end..
