New York Shitty Street Seating Du Jour: BIGBUX

BIGBUX

Bottle and Japanese Cucumber

New York Shitty analysis:

    • One empty fifth of vodka (educated guess): check
    • One shrink-wrapped Japanese cucumber: check
    • I’d say someone had one hell of a Saturday night…

but could we honestly expect anything less from “BIGBUX”?

P.S.: To my knowledge this piece of feral furniture has graced this sidewalk for at least 55 days.

From The New York Shitty Inbox, Part II: Furrever Homes Needed

kitteh

This comes from former Greenpointer, environmental badass and former NCA head honcha, Kate Zidar. She writes:

Can you offer a long term home to these two wonderful cats? They are not bio siblings, but they have been raised together. One super-affectionate calico female and one super-independent tuxedo male. About Kitten – Female calico who loves to give and get attention. She will entertain you with her fetch-skills (see video), but will also sit on your keyboard as you try to work. So…she’s a calico. About Beta: He is a Greenpoint native, born on Oak Street and saved from the streets by Jane Pool. He started out as Kitten’s baby bro and playmate, but is now a great young male, always refined in his tuxedo and very easygoing.

You can see footage of this dynamic duo in action by clicking here. Otherwise, anyone who is interested in giving these two furkids a forever home should contact  Joanna via email at: jomicek(at)gmail(dot)com.

Thanks!
