Greenpoint Photos Du Jour: Fat Boy R.I.P.
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Newtown Creek
Ever since I got the sad news about Fat Boy last night I have not been able to get him off my mind. More specifically, I was wondering exactly what the fuck he is. Or perhaps that should be what he was? Anyway, I just got back from a sojourn to the Manhattan Avenue park. Sure enough, he was still there.
Wait a minute. Didn’t our local Parks guru tell me he was going to be picked up this morning?
Well, I guess it is morning somewhere. In any case it would appear that in this mortal coil Fat Boy was a gerbil…
and true to his name, he is was rather rotund.
Goodbye, little fella.
Miss Heather
UPDATE, October 8, 2009: Fat Boy has been removed— presumably by the Parks Department.

Are you wearing magenta pants?!
Fuschia sweats— with pockets lined with fake fur. It was damned brisk today, Tony!
Oh sweats, okay, I thought you might have been all hipstered out with some pink denim! Oh, well.
actually Fat Boy looks like a hamster. note the short stubby tail. plus i used to have one that color when i was ten. either way, hamster or gerbil, RIP Fat Boy.
Tell me what you're thinking...
