Quicklink: The L Train Rat
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Crosstown Local, East Village, East Village Manhattan, Subway, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Those of you who are looking for a little lite entertainment and happen to be on Twitter may want to give this, the musings of a L train rat, a look-see. If you do, here’s a sampling of what you’ll find:
i get so self conscious when everyone watches me look for food on the track
every once in awhile people at the 1st ave stop smell like delicious fried dough and i just want to kill myself
people seem to hate me 100x more when i’m rained on.
too fat to fit inside bottle 🙁 should probably go on a run to 8th ave.
Special thanks go out to Lisacat for bringing this to my attention. Check it out!

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Upcoming Classes At Clayspace 1205
I recently received a reminder from the folks at Clayspace that their spring class semester classes kick off April 5, 2010. These classes range from advanced to beginner; adults and children alike. The cost ($275.00) may very be out of the range of a great many people reading this (there is a recession going on after all) but it will buy you not only six weeks of coursework, but also twenty five pounds of clay and unlimited bench time. This comes out to $45 dollar a week. This is not a bad value when you think about it!
You can review Clayspace’s adult classes by clicking here and their activities for children can be found here. NOTE: their “Spring Break ” children’s program commences March 29!

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Something Dirty!
Last weekend it was the Treasure Chest, this upcoming weekend Kill Devil Hill will be hosting two days of artistic goodness. Rebecca writes:
Hi Miss Heather,
I’m writing to you because I’ve been an avid reader of your blog for a couple of years now and wanted to let you know about an art show I have coming up in your favorite Greenpoint shop. It’s at Kill Devil Hill—no furry, toothy little creatures, though, sorry! (But) I think you will like it, mostly because it includes found ephemera and naked stuff. Anyway, if it looks interesting to you, I would greatly appreciate it if you would consider posting it on the venerable Shitty and coming to see the show.
I will be perfectly honest: I do not like posting event listings. There are a number of sites dedicated to just this purpose and I find it boring. I’d rather be pounding the pavement conversing with my friends and neighbors and getting the “shit” on north Brooklyn. There is plenty shit to be had here, I assure you. My inbox overflows with shit on a daily basis. And I cannot afford to hire an intern. So it goes.
However, I can and will do so when it involves furry critters in need or the mood suits me. In the latter-most case being promised “naked stuff” and the following helps. A LOT:
…Found photos, pin-ups & male “physique” magazines.
The previous pretty much constitutes what I have painstakingly arranged on Chez Shitty’s refrigerator over the last five years. The purpose of this exercise is to skeeve the Mister. It works: he puts magnets over what bothers him. I remove them.
They say marriage is an institution. There is a germ of truth to this age-old shtick. I am the R.P. McMurphy of this household: a vortex of chaos and intransigence disrupting his (otherwise) highly structured and organized existence. It’s a fun, if occasionally weird, journey and I can’t honestly say I regret it. But back to nekkid people:

LAST GASP: Got Rats?

If so, someone would very much like to talk to you. “Associate Producer” writes:
I’m not sure whether or not this would be the kind of thing (it most assuredly is— Ed. Note) that would be of interest to you or your readers, but it’s certainly a city-wide issue, so I wonder if you can help.
I’m part of a team producing a new documentary series on the city’s by-now colossal rat population – outnumbering humans in NY 12-to-1 by some estimates. We’re going to be following a team of exterminators as they set about ridding a range of homes and businesses throughout the 5 boroughs of rat infestations…
We’re keen to hear from anyone who is suffering from this menace.
Thanks!
Here’s the dealio: if you want to share your Rattus norvegicus experiences (or simply want to learn more about this project) you should shoot an email to: sciencetvshow (at) gmail (dot) com
Not only is your confidentiality ensured, but they’ll set you up with an accredited local pest control company that will tackle your rat problem FOR FREE. Yes, I just wrote F-R-E-E!
Get cracking Greenburgers, Bushwickers and Long Island Cityslickers!
