rob- sad to say, that wasn’t me :). I’m working on it but I am not at Level 6 Master of Felinicity. For that you not only have to have 400 cats, but baggy black stockings and a raggy dress. You also need 25 little boxes (Not the shame cake boxes as baked by THL) and at least 1 visit by an irate landlord. At best I am at Level minus 4 🙁 Oh- and a clump of chin hairs.

I was definitely offended by the “dead monkey” cartoon a while back, which I thought was quite clearly targeted at the President.
i always thought bush looked more like a monkey. it’s a bit of a conundrum tho if an actual african american person does look like a monkey. oh jeez it’s probably TERRIBLE to say that. but both bush and obama do look like our closest species. i think monkeys are cute tho. it’s better to look like a monkey than a llama which i always thought what’s his face, bill clinton look liked, ick!

It’s a rag. They lie and make up stories that destroy people’s lives. My organization and the people I worked for went through it. I know whereof I speak. And the NYP had to post a retraction. But the damage was already done, his reputation was in tatters and the organization lost so much money to lawyers it had to shut down. So don’t get me started on the “journalistic integrity” of the NYP. It has absolutely none.
omg i totally remember reading that article about the crazy catlady from brooklyn with 400 cats!
As I said, I have no idea of the origin of this term, so it may have come from someplace outside of Brooklyn. However, I will say that its use in Brooklyn used to be widespread.
“It’s a term used by sailors. A trick was a turn of duty.”
It’s a term used by prostitutes. A trick was a turn of duty.
Biff, I had a feeling it had been picked over before, but it’s just so awful that it seemed worth revisiting
CGar, we dissected that monstrosity once a long time ago. I wish we could easily find the thread.
