I Hate NYC - #1 Not For Nothin’

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

“Not for nothin…” is in no way the proper lead in to a sentence or subject in any land, country, or language - except Brooklyn.

“Not for nothin” is the quintessential Brooklyn term that is the perfect way for any and all Brooklynites to strike up a conversation or help make a point.  No matter what [...]

Open Toe Sneaker Lady

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

I somehow forgot to mention this, but two weekends ago I was sitting on a Coney Island bound Q train and happened to be sitting across from a lady in her 50s or 60s who was wearing homemade open toed sneakers.

I couldn’t bring myself to be a giant jerk and photograph her open toed sneakers [...]

Totally Not Tampons

Monday, September 29th, 2008

I was just in the kitchenette of my office and spotted what I thought were a pack of tampons laying out in the open next to the pots of coffee.

While I’m no female and I will freely admit that I haven’t had too many tampons in my hands over the course of my life, these [...]

Crazy Super Groundhog Sign!

Monday, September 29th, 2008

When I was coming home very late Saturday night I snapped this shot of the newest crazy super sign.  I’m calling this sign, “Groundhog Day”…

When I finally dragged myself out some 12 hours later with real camera in hand this was the outcome of the signs…

VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!!

Curtis Sliwa Spotting!

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Yesterday there was a street fair in my neighborhood and I spotted Curtis Sliwa walking through “patrolling” - even though there were numerous cops on each and every corner.

Sliwa was quite friendly and standing out in the crowds with that signature bright red outfit of his.
He stopped, smiled and spoke with lots of people quite [...]

Janie’s Got A Gun!

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

In May I was thinking about buying a gun in case of the pending apocalypse.

I thought long and hard until finally deciding that the whole U.S. economy falling apart leading towards anarchy in 2008 seemed next to impossible, so I bought a fancy camera.
Well, for the past two weeks I have been seriously [...]

A boobie with lovely implant inside…?

Coolness!!!

Check it out…
The flowers form as tiny red balloon-like heads, and then when they bloom they reveal their delicious yellow insides…

And then bees come and hump the flowers as a whole…TOTAL COOLNESS!!!

I’m Ready!

Friday, September 26th, 2008

I’m ready for the debates tonight, and I’m very glad that McCain has finally agreed to show up to the predetermined and agreed to debate.
 
I look forward to him flopping on the floor in failure - although I’m 99% sure that he’ll use the old “I was too busy fixing the economy to prepare for the [...]
