  1. Etson, mayo is also a product of the devil. Please consult your “How to be a Real American” handbook you received at the border and study it carefully, lest you, too, get deported 🙂

  2. cj11238….that sounded like a bunch of sociological drivel. If there are convicted felons who are going to stab people with knives then they shouldn’t be in society no matter what stage of gentrification a neihborhood is in.

    Did you concoct that bullshit or did you cut and past it from some other nitwit???

    It’s not “an interesting social experiment.” It simply a neanderthal on the street. I hope he gets a long sentence and is “rehabilitated” in jail. I bet most other “long time residents” of the neighborhood feel the same wway.

  3. “Yes, like Jack Nicholson in “Five Easy Pieces”…..hold the milk, hold the sugar, hold the honey, honey.”

    Diner scene? Ends with this exchange:

    You want me to hold the chicken salad, huh?

    I want you to hold it between your knees.

  4. cj, I don’t think having street-smarts had anything to do with/would have changed the outcome of that incident. I also have serious doubts that this is an issue tied even remotely to gentrification. A damned fool/convicted killer willing to stab someone over a tiff about a dog isn’t something that can be changed by being savvy.

  5. snappy,
    I agree with your assessment on the Jersey Shore.

    speaking of Paris, I saw a pretty good movie the other night:
    Paris, Je T’aime
    it’s a bunch of vignettes by different directors like
    the Coen Brothers and Gus Van Sant set in Paris. Each in a different neighborhood. Worth checking out for the francophiles out there. Alot of big names in it from Juliette Binoche to Ben Gazarra and Nick Nolte.

    lechacal,
    Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
    is one of my favorites of the past 5 years.
    It’s really quite profound.
