New York Shitty Day Ender: Still Waiting
“Issues” at the McCarren Park Pool notwithstanding, exactly when is WNYC Transmitter Park going to open?
Anyone?
It’s not exactly like we have been impatient. Okay, maybe a mite bit.
Nonetheless, if our Parks Supervisor/Advocate has time to fire off an email about the upcoming Open Space Alliance Concerts.
Well, then methinks we deserve an answer.

Spotted On West Street: A Very Special Employment Opportunity
This week a friend of mine, upon reading my horoscope, informed me I would have a career opportunity this week. Thus, you can imagine my surprise (subsequent disappointment) when I encountered the above solicitation on West Street this afternoon. While I may be a wee bit too— how shall we say— “long in the tooth” for the above position, I do feel compelled to pass it along here lest any “fun” and “open-minded” Greenpoint gals find it of interest. My advice: it has been your truly’s observation that when a fellow seeks a woman with an open mind, her legs are expected to follow suit.
In closing, this is as sterling an opportunity as any to announce that New York Shitty is looking for interns! Sorry ladies, men need only apply. Those who are curious as to what this prestigious (READ: UNPAID) sinecure entails, please take a moment to watch the following video.
Just kidding.

Choice quote:
I’m not sure I would ever recommend anyone go to the McCarren Park Pool unless you just got out of prison.
That might be a bit of an overstatement. However, the anecdote about the lock and link to the unofficial McCarren Park Pool’s web site (which features some pretty amusing stock photography, including a fellow holding a bottle of beer)— among many other things— make this tome worth a moment of one’s time. Enjoy, gentle readers— or not!
Now if you don’t mind, I am off to acquire a slew of locks and white t-shirts to sell to pool goers at 300% mark-up. One woman’s misfortune is another’s business opportunity!
Props go to Miss Mousey Brown for bringing this to my attention!
