It would appear the Greenpoint Avenue Teddy (AKA: Jail Bear) has lost his companions and has taken to hitting the bottle. Poor furry fella.

As spotted across the street from the local Democratic Club. Is there such a thing as a log cabin Democrat? In any case, it sort of reminds me of grandma’s house. Well, except for the anarchy symbols and I never recollected her saying anything about insects’ weeping assholes. Grandma Heather was a lot more “old school” in that respect and simply inquired as to whether or not I had a bowel movement every time I patronized the bathroom. The fact that I, being a child, had no idea what a bowel movement was was irrelevant. Ah memories…

Urban Artifact: Special Rabbit Died Edition

This item hails from a tree pit on Java Street and was captured by a very nice fellow named Paul (who also happens to author the blog Daily Oliver). He writes:
Looks like the tree I found this next to might be pregnant!
In closing (and to borrow/adapt commentary from a friend of this fellow):
This brings a whole new meaning to the term “tree hugger”.
Cheers— or would that be congratulations— and thanks again Paul for letting me share this fascinating urban artifact!
From The New York Shitty Inbox: Voted!

It would appear yours truly netted a write-in vote for City Council, 33rd District. What else can I say other than I am touched by the endorsement (or at least the protest vote)! Now if you do not mind, gentle readers, I am off to knock out my acceptance speech…
UPDATE, November 7, 2013: It would appear I have received three votes for City Council, two for Mayor (!) and one for Brooklyn Borough President. Wow.
