The first rule of television seems to be: if something works once, do it again. Sarah Jessica Parker’s production company has reportedly optioned the novel Prospect Park West to turn into a TV show. The book, by former sex columnist Amy Sohn, who also wrote the companion book for HBO’s Sex and the City, chronicles the lives, urges, and dissatisfactions of four Park Slope mothers. Here’s how The Post summed it up this morning: “The book creates a scathing portrait of Park Slope’s mommy brigade — of which Sohn is a breast-feeding member — as a parade of unsatisfied thirty- and forty-something moms sizing up their plights relative to all the other stroller-pushers at the playground. Few are having sex — at least not with their spouses.” It’s definitely the Sex and the City formula, but who knows if it will take off? Gawker asks the more important question: will it ruin Park Slope? There is already a festoon of strollers; will Berkeley Place now be clogged with red double-decker buses?

OK, I’m not really very good at this, but here’s a start. Maybe someone else can add to it:
It was a beautiful day, and Rob and his loving pitbull Tinkerbell were hanging out in the parking lot of 7-11. A couple of teenage goth girls dressed in tight, dark clothes stopped to lean over the cement barrier and asked him if he could spare a cigarette. Just then a stroller mom with bushy gray hair passed by in her Rockports and gave them a withering look. “You know it’s illegal to smoke outside,” she said.
Snappy, you take the cake! Awesome thread today, folks. Thanks for helping me to avoid work once again!
