TODAY: Empty Cages Collective Hits Bedford Avenue!
Filed under: Williamsburg
After the big success at last week’s adoption event (as of 4:00 p.m. they had FOUR adoptions pending!) Empty Cages Collective is hitting us up with another adoption event, this time right on Bedford Avenue! Lisacat writes:
Make your way to Williamsburg’s main drag to meet Empty Cages Collective’s wonderful cats looking for homes. The N.S.A.L adoption van will be parked on Bedford Ave at North 7th St, steps away from the Bedford Ave / L train stop. Adoptions require approved applicaton & adoption fee, all of our cats & kittens have been rescued from our Trap-Neuter-Return efforts in New York City, or rescued from AC&C’s kill list.
One such animal Empty Cages rescued from the “Euth List” is a little guy named Joshua. Follows is some footage where we get to watch him contentedly play with a catnip mouse while a volunteer tells his story!
In closing I would like to announce that Empty Cages Collective is one of four charities Robert Guskind’s friends and family have selected to receive donations in his memory. Head over to The Gowanus Lounge for more details.

New York Shitty Day Ender: Monochromatic On India Street
Filed under: Greenpoint Magic
This lovely specimen hails just west of the Smith – 9th bound entrance of the Crosstown Local at Greenpoint Avenue. Not only is this piece of street furniture very stylish but it also appears to be a sleeper model. Perfect grabbing a “power nap” while waiting for the G train!

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Only In Park Slope
I have been writing New York Shitty for almost three years now. In that time I have seen a sizable increase in emails “pitching” one product or another. I usually ignore them— but today I am going to make an exception. Read on and you’ll understand why. Tyler writes:
Local Park Slope dog owner here with some shit news. I wrote an iphone application for dog owners and dog walkers which is available at the iTunes store this week, it’s all about pee and poo. Trying to get the word out about the application, DogiDuty lets you or your dog walker send reports after each walk to let you know if Fido went pee or poo, was given food or water, and other notes. I designed this app to help me an my wife better manage our schedule between errands, late nights at the office, and after work activities. Our dog walkers use it and so do we.
Check it out at the app store or follow this link. I can send you guys a promo code to download a free copy of the app if you are interested.
I checked out their web site* and this appears be for real. Although I do not have a dog I am very tempted to take this person up on his offer as I can think of some very fun alternative uses for this product. My grandmother (whose fixation with “regularity” was the stuff of legend) would have loved this product; instead of simply asking me if I did a bowel movement I every time I exited the bathroom I could send her a full report replete with color commentary and perhaps a picture or two?!? God I love technology!

*Do check this out. It has mock-ups of the user interface which features and poop and pee “checklist”. Priceless.

New York Shitty Day Starter: Fun At The Junk Shop
Filed under: Greenpoint Magic
The following was originally intended to be a “day-ender” on Thursday but due to circumstances beyond my control it has been relegated to “day starter” status Friday. Not that it diminishes the content in any way: it doesn’t.
It all started with this little plastic bag as displayed by my co-worker Steve.
It was an “Emergency Kit”. When this item was brought to the attention of the “Greenpoint Round Table” hilarity ensued.
As did a rather incisive view into the workings of the male mind.
CAVEAT:
- There is language in this clip you do NOT want your Human Resources Personnel/humorless cubicle monkeys to hear.
- All the featured players, e.g.; George Diaz, Kerry Bomb and I are comedians to one degree or another. Take it in jest. No offense is intended nor should be taken. We make fun of everyone, each other and ourselves, as you will see.
On with the show!
I worked ten years in corporate America before deciding it was not for me. There was something about that environment that never sat well with me. Perhaps it was the structure, hierarchy and artificial sense of geniality? Or was it having more stringent expectations placed upon me, a woman, regarding my personal conduct and appearance versus that of my male colleagues? Probably all of the above.
The previous having been written I am grateful to have been involved in the previous and admittedly vulgar dialog. I cherish above all things honesty. George Diaz was honest— if not politically correct— about his feelings regarding homosexuals and the transgendered. He was also being a comedian. It’s been my personal experience that people such as George are not the ones who propagate hate. It’s the ones who refuse to talk.
OR LISTEN.

P.S.: Those of you who are interested in doing a little “exploration” in the name of freedom will be pleased to know The Thing still has a fine selection of accessories for infants of all ages.
Yes, that’s “My Little Pony”.

There is a pot hole at the intersection of Engert Avenue and Russell Street…
…and it’s a rather sizable one at that.
Then again, perhaps this isn’t a pot hole? Maybe it is a cryptically marked portal to let the Morlocks out? Who knows? In any event it is probably best avoided. Consider yourselves warned fellow Greenpointers.
