… (name excised) mentioned to me a while back that you live near me… and that you had also been having issues with the construction workers at magic johnson’s wonderful new condos.. and that you had phoned up and complained – do you have the phone number for the appropriate offices? i am completely fed up with them saying shit to me every single time i walk down my street..
Truth be told I did not phone these assholes up. This is because I felt blogging their bullshit (preferably with photographs) in the vain hope of shaming them publicly to be more effective. That said, my advice to you is to send a detailed letter to their sales office outlining some of the experiences you have had at the hands of the “professionals” who are building their luxury Valhalla. For shits and giggles why not copy HollabackNYC on your tome as well? In all likelihood they’ll be more than happy to publish it. As will I!

Good luck and of course you are more than welcome to recount these gents’ assholic behavior here on New York Shitty. Last Friday I shit you not one of these turds snatched candy off my tray designated for Trick or Treating children. He and his loser cronies thought it was funny.
Assholes.

Urban Artifact du Jour: If You See Something, Say Something
Every year I do the same thing: forget to buy my husband an anniversary present. Thankfully providence intervened when we hopped on the B24 to go to dinner.
The chap to the right dropped something out of his pocket. Being a highly inquisitive person I craned my head over to get a closer look. I chuckled.
It was at that moment the tension in the back of the bus became palpable enough to cut with a kitchen knife; he was looking at it, I was looking at it, his friend (to the left) stared at it. Even Mr. Heather was transfixed. Someone had to do something to stop this stand-off. So, being the cold-hearted bitch I am, I stepped over, snatched it up, laughed at it, showed it to Mister Heather and jammed it into my pocket. Problem solved!
Perhaps this is some money-making ploy by the MTA to avoid raising fares?
The fake boobs on this gal are quite remarkable. I suspect John Goodman could use them for flotation devices. I wonder if she comes with an “EasyPay Fare Option“?*

Today the Mister and I decided to take a jaunt down Manhattan Avenue* and savor some NYC Marathon action. All in all it was pretty fun. Follows are a few highlights. Enjoy!
You can see more pix I took of this event by clicking here. Be sure to check back later for Mr. Heather’s contributions and share your choice tidbits of NYC Marathon Greenpoint goodness in my photo pool!

What can you say about this photograph other than it was taken by garsav and is (aptly) entitled “Greenpoint: The Morning After Halloween”? Nice find, garsav!

ELECTION DAY: Pin The Tail On the Palin
Filed under: Greenpoint Magic
That’s pretty much what I’ll be doing on November 4th after I cast my vote. Hoping, drinking— and probably praying— the she-wolf of Wasilla and her surly old fart of a running mate are not deemed Oval office-worthy by the “battle ground” states. Thankfully t.b.d. will be hosting an “Election Night Extravaganza” that is totally up my alley…
replete with Baracktails, no less!
