It would appear that not only has someone seen fit to give the 16th President of the United States posthumous gender reassignment surgery a la Photoshop, but he (she?) also affixed one of these hilarious items onto the fence gracing premises of the 94th Precinct. (Insert a witty quip about having balls here.)

Yes, folks: it would appear we have our second “found” pup in as many days. My tipster, Donna, writes:

Another found dog. He was found on Greenpoint Ave. tonight. He’s at Dog Habitat.

Anyone who has information as to whom this fella belongs should contact Dog Habitat via email at: rescue@doghabitat.org. Thanks!

UPDATE, 9:16 p.m.: Here’s this cutie after (quite) a bit of deforestation!

This fetching fellow (who was found at McGolrick Park) was brought to my attention by his current hostess: a lovely lady named Donna. If anyone knows to whom he belongs (or perhaps wants to provide him the forever home he richly deserves) please contact Dog Habitat via email at: rescue@doghabitat.org. Thanks!

Urban Artifact: Special April Fool’s Day Edition, Part II

(Or: If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em!)

As today’s selections undoubtedly attest, there’s plenty of April tomfoolery and springtime mirth in the Garden Spot today. Without argument the highlight of my sojourn was bumping into one the Garden Spot’s more notable citizens/merry hooligans: Josef.

This, his latest opus, can be found in front of the Cafe Riviera on Manhattan Avenue.

Josef felt the piece of duct tape in the middle needed to be removed, so remove it he did. That’s when I decided to tender my two cents/expertise:

This doesn’t quite work. Something needs to go in this space.

He sprung into action.
