From The New York Shitty Inbox: C.C. Has Been Found!
As some of you might recall one of north Greenpoint’s more substantial shop cats, C.C. (as seen at left), went missing from Animal Planet last November. Well, today I have very good news! He has been found!
Apparently a woman on Eagle Street spied hm and contacted his “people” at Animal Planet. They came over with a carrier which, naturally, he refused to enter. However, when food was offered he felt quite differently; he pounced upon it and they upon him.
As for what C.C. experienced during his two month leave of absence is anyone’s guess: he isn’t talking. I suspect (or would that be hope?) the recent arrival of some downright brutal weather will motivate him to stay indoors moving forward.
From The New York Shitty Inbox: Missing Something?
More specifically: has anyone lost a “valued-added” pair of green sweatpants and consequently any remaining shred of human dignity? If so, worry no more (at least not about the pants). Someone has found them near the White Castle on Metropolitan Avenue! Via Craigslist:
Two nights ago I found a pair of green sweatpants with blue boxer briefs inside. Both the undies and the sweats had been defecated upon, then possibly dragged for several meters before being discarded alongside of the road. The nearby White Castle suggests that an explosive bowel movement took place shortly after the consumption of numerous jalapeno sliders and buffalo chicken rings. The victim, possibly wearing a long jacket or sweater capable of hiding their genitalia, proceeded to strip down their shit-stained trousers and continue walking like nothing ever happened.
If this sounds eerily similar to what happened to you at 4:30 AM this past Saturday and you care to reclaim your filthy sweats and undies, please contact the above email address. And shame on you.
Quicklink: New Year’s Day Sexual Assault In “Greenpoint”?
The “good” news: this assault did not happen in Greenpoint. It came to pass on Maspeth Avenue (East Williamsburg). Not that this makes the fact a sexual assault came to pass any more appetizing: it doesn’t. You can read NBC’s very general rundown of what happened by clicking here. Otherwise, please PLEASE exercise extra vigilance while out and about late at night north Brooklynites— and watch out for each other!
UPDATE, 9:35 p.m.: This evening it was brought to my attention that a similar (and thankfully: unsuccessful) sexual assault came to pass this same evening in the same general area (Humboldt near Withers Street, about a ten minute walk north). Although I have asked for more details here’s what I know: this incident came to pass around 4:00 a.m. The woman, thinking quickly, screamed until she got the attention of neighbors (who called the police). The “perp” (who it should be noted, had his “tackle” out and ready to “go”) got scared and ran away.
Special thanks goes out to Queens Crap for bringing this to my attention.
