  1. “question is how or what TheWhat knows. and when did he know it. Any details are sketchy and I certainly think brownstoner would have loved to had the scoop on ninja….would have gotten lots of hits. ”

    If your running such a great Blog like ***Cough** Brownstoner then your finger must be on the pulse of everything! There’re stories that happen right on his block that don’t get **Cough*** reported for some or other reason!

    The What

    Someday this war is gonna end..

  2. I guess I’ve known a few genius lawyers, but none of them are practicing law any more. At least I think they were geniuses but all I really knew is that they were smarter than I am, and it’s impossible to judge the intelligence of someone who is smarter than you other than to point out that they’re smarter than you. And I’m totally sub-genius now (alcohol intake, got hit in the head pretty hard a few times, spend all day on brownstoner). One guy I knew was an overweight former classics professor who went to Yale law and lived a few blocks from me in Fort Greene back in 2001-2002 and played poker with me and some other guys every week. Nauseatingly smart and knowledgeable. He quit the law and went back to the midwest to sit in a basement somewhere and translate ancient Greek texts. He probably weighs 500 pounds and hasn’t left his house in years. I tried to stop by and visit him when I was driving cross-country but he said he had plans, and by plans I think he meant agoraphobia.

  3. “wife packed me a good lunch”

    i ‘ll leave that one alone.

    Sorry I missed the whole Covert Race?Class warfare stuff. I was having lunch with non-union masters of the Universe.

  5. “Perhaps Brownstoner limits its coverage of crime stories to Brownstone Brooklyn while willing to go out further only in the case of housing and architectue related issues?”

    Whoa whoa whoa! Now Williamsburg is not part of “Brownstone Brooklyn”??

    OK Someone please eyeball the goalpost, Legion is moving ’em!

    The What (Just like old times right?)

    I’m sure if there were hoards of shootings and rapes whenever the weather turned warm in Williamsburg it would get covered. But alas, once the weather turns warm us North Brooklynites just ride bikes and drink expensive iced coffee.

  7. So Legion do you believe I’m being unfair to Brownstoner?

    Ok You know what Homeboy I’m gonna give you that and the next time we get a Covert Race/Class Warfare story here, I will inject 100cc on adrenaline into my arm and go FULL REATRD, MKAY???

    The What
