Reader Contribution Du Jour: Here’s Johnny!
As we prepare to embark upon another salvo of snow, I present for your entertainment this fine motor vehicle as spotted by Burly Red on 17th Street. Great find!

From The New York Shitty Photo Pool: (speechless)
What can one say about this item (as found in Greenwood Heights by lostinbrooklyn) other than perhaps “Wow, this is really offensive”? Are any of you, dear readers, fluent in Russian? If so, please do yours truly the favor of translating the label of this delightful product. My curiosity is killing me.

LAST GASP: Gratitude

Hello, Miss Heather!
I am a volunteer for the Pets for Life NYC hotline, a hotline staffed entirely by volunteers to help people solve problems/ keep their pets from ending up at Animal Control. Here is their link: http://www.humanesociety.org/animal_community/shelters/pets_for_life_nyc.html {Also, I am a big fan of your blog!}
I got a call on my shift Tuesday night from a woman in Brooklyn who is living in the New Horizons Shelter on Amboy Street with her 3 kids because her building was deemed uninhabitable. Their sweet 3 year old family dog, Missy, was taken to Brooklyn Animal Care and Control because dogs are not permitted at that shelter.
BAC&C has held Missy for over a month, but she is on the euthanasia list for Sunday unless she finds a foster home or donations for boarding. The owner and children are beside themselves with worry: they have no family who can take Missy. They have 1-2 months until they get an apartment to bring Missy home.
Missy is spayed, has all her shots, gets along with other dogs and kids. Is there anyone out there who could foster her? There is some money to contribute to food and boarding…
Today as I was walking down West Street I found something for which I am very thankful. Chez Shitty (still) lacks heat (just ask my nipples— they’ve been in a heighten state of alert for days) but I do not call a wooden pallet and a moving blanket my home. I have hot water and a roof over my head. As Meatloaf would say:
Two out of three ain’t bad.

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Happy Hanukkah From The MTA!
Not really—- but I thought this subway themed greeting card (as brought to my attention by my buddy Dreidel Hustler) was too cool NOT to resist posting. Hell, it even includes the Crosstown Local! Or part of what is left of it, anyway. If I had one criticism of this card it would be this: they forgot the manifold and baroque service suspensions for the aforementioned “line” on weekends. In any case, you purchase ’em in packs of six by clicking here!

Props go out to Subway Art Blog for spotting this gem. He writes:
What could possibly drive two aspiring actresses to start interviewing strangers in the subway? Sheer curiosity.
Why Are You on My Train? is a video blog by Alli Goldberg and Jen Jamula. Both of them moved to New York to pursue their acting careers after graduating from Yale’s theater department, but found themselves doing something they never expected. “Our blog was partly born out of riding the subway to and from auditions and a) wondering who the people were around us and b) wanting to engage,” explained Jen…

In the meantime here’s a choice morsel:

I can only hope I meet these ladies and tell them my tales. Provided of course the G train is actually running.
