We noticed a decomposing wasp nest perched high up in a stinky ginkgo tree on a busy Brooklyn corner. 

They’ve moved on to nest elsewhere this year and we can only hope that this nest safely falls in front of someone so that they are scared clueless.

TMZ is reporting that Corey Haim, the HAIM, has been found dead this morning from an apparent drug overdose. 

We loved watching him in ‘License to Drive’ and ‘Fast Getaway’ when we were growing up, so much so that we used to do a Corey Haim impression back in our stand-up days.  That said, the dude also cut an album in 1995 and it was VERY 1995. 

Thankfully, someone made a video of the HAIM dancing to his own song which is one of those things that just keeps on getting better the longer you watch the video.

Asa lama lakum, Haim.

We swung by Leif Ericson Park at 8th Avenue to see how the Brooklyn Parrots are doing in this warm weather.  No surprise, they’re loving it!

We found them taking a break from chewing the twigs off of the trees for their new nest and taking in some sun.

Having never seen them in person up until a couple of weeks ago, we have to say that they really are just incredible to see in real life living in the trees of Brooklyn.

We recently spotted ‘Toons’ on the pulled down gate of a closed down bodega.  ‘Toons’ is a tag that we haven’t seen in years. 

In the mid to late 90s ‘Toons’ was everywhere we looked and was usually accompanied by a friendly ‘Tops’ tag nearby.  We even rode a bus one day and watched Toons and Tops work their scratchitti.

We can’t help but wonder what the heck ever happened to Toons.

We’ve seen a lot of crazy and off the wall things in life while living here in New York City, perhaps more than people who live elsewhere, perhaps not.

That said, we saw something that blew our mind away.  Seriously, it was utterly disgusting, made us do a triple take and then forced us to snap a photo of it.

It was really, really, REALLY gross to see in real life and it has somehow managed to be even more disgusting in the form of a digital photograph.

It was so gross that we are putting this photo of the first snowbell bloom from our garden up so that you don’t have to see the disgusting act for yourself.

However, should you find yourself feeling a little frisky or a little bit adventurous, feel free to click on the read more button and see all of the grossness for yourself; but you’ve been warned, it’s seriously up there with the grossest things we’ve ever seen!

If there is but one band that didn’t blow up over the past four years that should have, it would have to be the New York Howl.

Just take a listen for yourself.

If there’s one thing in life that we’ve learned is that you can never have too many doorbells.

Or rather, that’s what the people in this residential building across from Ground Zero have learned.

If you’ve been paying any mind to TMZ this weekend you’ve noticed that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been all over it.

The dude is being Roethlisbergered, which is his second time being Roethlisbergered! 

At least this mosaic of the Roethlisberger family name that hangs in Tribeca will never be Roethlisbergered.

One of the things that cracks me up in life is that in Manhattan, millionaires have some crazy front doors.  Our guess is that they just try to hide their money in plain sight by having the distraction of a crappy front door to have people the assumption that nothing is inside.

Other millionaires simply have godbuns on their vent cover.

The idea of ‘godbuns’ is oddly appealing.

The best things about looking into reflections is that if you look long enough you’ll see Natalie Wood looking back at you.

Or maybe Alf…or just a bunch of surrounding buildings.

This afternoon we spotted a ladybug out in our garden.

We cannot help but wonder if the ladybug that hitched a backseat ride with us from San Francisco to Napa somehow managed to find us once again way out in Brooklyn…TOTAL COOLNESS!!!

Ladies and Gents, we have evidence of the world’s laziest smokers are in Manhattan.

They are so close yet so far…at least they’re speeding up their own demise so that the rest of the world can be better off without them.
