For those of you who are keeping track, this furry fella has been hanging out at the corner of Greenpoint Avenue and Franklin Street for 132 days.
Urban Artifact: Hole In One

As with most things I see while walking around my community’s sidewalks, I wonder about the story behind them. I have no idea what this piece of feral fashion’s was (as spied today on Lorimer Street), but I bet it was a pretty good one!

New York Shitty Photos Du Jour: Falling Down
Filed under: 11206, East Williamsburg, East Williamsburg Brooklyn, GENIUS, Stuff That Makes Miss Heather Happy, Urban Artifact
I have seen my fair share of sight gags and general chicanery over the years. This one is by far one of the finest. Well played, anonymous merry hooligan!

New York Shitty Pay Phone Du Jour: 10 Days Later
Filed under: Chinatown, Chinatown Manhattan, Dung of the Day, Lower East Side, Lower East Side Manhattan, Urban Artifact
Some of you might recall that yours truly documented a rather magnificent (if utterly revolting) public pay phone on the Bowery recently. Today, since I happened to be in Manhattan I decided to swing back by and see how things were shaping up.
New York Shitty Analysis
- Glass Half Empty: It would appear the poo is still there— or an additional “patron” has paid this impromptu privy a “visit”.
- Glass Half Full: Some attempt at cleaning has been made. In addition, the bottle of Activia would suggest that, perchance, this poopatrator is working on his (her?) irregularity issues— albeit with New Amsterdam peach-flavored Vodka as a chaser.
- What I want to know: What would Jamie Lee Curtis do? This is one hell of a product endorsement opportunity if you ask me.
Any merry hooligans out there care to testify on this public pay phone’s behalf? Sadly (and ironically), it cannot speak for itself.

Reader Contribution Du Jour: Spotted At Humboldt & Withers Street
Filed under: 11211, 11222, East Williamsburg, East Williamsburg Brooklyn, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Urban Artifact
A lass named Devery (who discovered this hilarious item this evening) quips:
I guess Seth Macfarlane left his “Oscar” at the corner of Withers and Humboldt.
In any case, anyone out there who has been in search of a giant and (apparently) aluminum foil-clad penis (to play ring toss???)—and you know who you are—tonight is your lucky night. Go your ass down there and get it!
