The number of posts is not so remarkable, Biff, especially since you and Daveinbedstuy account for 75% of them. It’s amazing how much time people waste on the internet.
OK….I left work early that day, that’s why I missed it. But I remember pointing out a day or two ago that tavern on Nostrand was opened by a black guy who lives about 5-6 blocks away.
I agree that the “standards” comment is out of place, AT BEST.
I also think that Big Jugs, although she may or may not have big jugs, might fit the stereotype of anyone with big jugs being an imbecile.
The “standards” comment was completely inappropriate and offensive, regardless of whether or not it was intentional.
Ding!!! Ding!!! Ding!!! Ding!!!

Oh my gosh! In that post, Jscheff gave the typical outsider’s uniformed stereotype of Crown Heights. I had no idea he wasn’t just summarizing the story.
Thank you very much bxgrl and ENY.

I think it was last Thursday, toward the end of the day.
