P.S.: Some of you might have noticed that a new “category” graces this post. It is called “BAD ASS” and is inspired by the Cadillac-cum-date rape of my senses and sensibilities which graces the beginning of this post.
Has Anyone Seen Troy?
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Crazy Cat Lady, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
This— the latest addition to the slew of lost pet fliers I have found this week— hails from Union Avenue and Bayard Street. Troy’s person, Jessica, writes:
Just moved to Greenpoint from Virginia and my dog Troy got out last night Oct. 7 without his collar. He is a 2 yr old German Shepherd who is very friendly and gentle but extremely timid. Troy is about 55 lbs and has white on his paws, chest, and tip of his tail. He shys away from unfamiliar faces which makes locating him tricky. Please call me if you see him so I can assist in the rescue and get him home.
If you have seen Troy or know of his whereabouts you know what to do… Thanks!

Quicklink: Miss Heather Featured On Women’s Day!
Yes kids, your eyes are not deceiving you: this week yours truly (albeit in a circumspect manner) and Peter Pan Bakery got a little link love from Women’s Day magazine online! You can see it all by clicking here. CAVEAT: if imagery of bacon double cheeseburgers served up on two Krispy Kreme doughnuts nauseates or otherwise disturbs you, do NOT click the previous link.

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Greenpoint Food Market
Joann Kim (who sent me the above flier) writes:
As summer wanes and the crisp fall air makes room for more snuggle time we’re preparing for another awesome Saturday at the market. Since it’s launch we’ve had a mix of returning and new vendors and it’s been amazing to sample and take home sweet and spicy caramel, baba ghanouj, coffee and some amazing scallion pancakes. This week we’ve got folks providing soup, caramel, pickles, jam, empanadas, spreads and baked goods and more all ready to consume and take home, so make sure to come by and sample some delicious treats!
We’d also like to make a humble request, only to ask you to continue spreading the good word about Greenpoint Food Market within your community. We depend on word of mouth and a curious and hungry belly and appreciate your support thus far.
I have a confession to make: this is something I have long planned to check out but have simply never gotten around to. Methinks this weekend I will have to do something about this. You can learn more about the Greenpoint Food Market by checking out their web site. CAVEAT: do not click the previous link if you are hungry!

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.

UPDATE, October 8, 2009: Fat Boy has been removed— presumably by the Parks Department.
