Rev Jen is a long time friend of the Beehive and it brings me great pleasure to let you know that she has a new book out.  It’s called Live Nude Elf: The Sexperiments of Reverend Jen. 

Live Nude Elf chronicles Reverend Jen’s two-year stint as sex columnist for nerve.com.

Here’s the trailer for the book.  I urge everyone go out and buy the book for a great read or at the very least watch the video to find out where the G-Spot is.

Buy from Amazon now… 

I spotted this Can Am Spyder Roadster on Court Street.

It’s a fairly neato adult tricycle.

Yet at the same time it is nowhere near as cool as the Shoe Cycle.

I might be just about the most shocked person on the planet right now over the fact that the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus will actually be going to have their show in Coney Island this summer. 

I thought for sure the talk was nothing but a publicity stunt by the local politicians, and I’m glad that it’s actually going to be the real deal.

Tickets went on sale today for Ringling’s 12 week/70 performance run of The Coney Island Boom A Ring. 

The show opens on June 18th with a special opening-night “Salute To Coney Island” and runs through September 7.

These shows will be the first time in its 139-year history that Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey will perform in Coney Island. 

What’s even better than that is the fact that the circus will be in a giant tent (withA/C) between the boardwalk and Surf Avenue with the cross streets of 20th and 21st Streets.  The site will also have a food court that will be accessible from the boardwalk and an Animal Open House so that all ticket holders can have the chance to see the beautiful and talented animals that are part of the show.

The show will be hosted by Justin Case and the show will feature an extreme crossbow demonstration by Martti Peltonen, illusions by master magician Joel Ward and the Urias globe of steel where motorcyclists orbit within inches of a each other and a female. 

Bengal tigers, a Daschund dog act and Asian elephants are promised to be there as well. 

Just like the MSG shows Ringling shows that we’re all accustomed to, The Coney Island Boom A Ring will have an all-access pre-show one hour before show time that allows audience members the chance to meet the performers and test out some skills of their own.

Basically this show is sounding as though it will be the real life version of Big Top Pee-wee that each and everyone of us has always wanted to be part of.  FUN!!!

You have the choice of buying tickets from either Ringling or Ticketmaster and start out at just $10 a piece and range up to $65 for intimate Ringside seating.

Check out the official website for the complete schedule and more info.

This sign is an understatement…

Tuesday afternoon I decided to walk over the Gowanus Canal for the first time ever.

I remember the canal appeared disgusting to my eyes (and it is disgusting).

Yet from this quick snapshot I have here the canal looks oddly beautiful - oil/gas(?) tanks, scrap heap, Lowe’s, Manhattan bound traffic and all.

Here’s how Mr. Panos and Greek people stay calm…

Obama winning the presidential election this past fall must have been the greatest event ever for someone - so much so that they decided to never touch their window again so as to always be reminded of his win whenever they pass.

Halloween decor and an Obama ‘08…

Either that or an Obama supporter died election night and was eaten by their cat this past fall/winter.

If anything could possibly be the face of swine flu it’s this…

Just imagine him creeping up to your bed in the middle of the night while you sleep tight worried about contracting swine flu.

He breathes heavily on your face and begins coughing rather loudly directly on your mouth and nose.  A little bit of his mucus falls out of his body and lands on your lip just as begin to wake up.

Your eyes are blurry.  You think you see an evil pig standing in front of you.  You wipe the mucus from your lip and he screams, “SWINE FLU!!!”

Sleep well…

It’s cherry blossom time at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden!

The official festival weekend is coming up on the 2nd and 3rd, but I would recommend you checking out the garden before then for two reasons…

1. You won’t have to deal with an absurd amount of people trying to look at pink blooms.
2. The blooms will likely be past peak color come the weekend.

Well, you missed it!  The great (douchebag) yard sale.

Yes, the great (douchebag) yard sale happened again this past weekend…but I’m sure that you’ll have the opportunity in the months ahead to attend yet another great (douchebag) yard sale.

This house loves yard sales just as much as they love stapling their advertisements to the local trees - some trees being skinny saplings…

This past weekend I had a first that might surprise some…it was the first time I have ever barbecued!

Seriously, I never did it before and at age 28 I had begun to think that cooking on a charcoal barbecue was becoming this mythical thing that I thought I would never do or experience for myself.

This first barbecue was a test barbecue for two and my overall experience with it…WAS AMAZING!

I don’t think that I ever felt so powerful or so in charge as I did when I was standing over the grill asking, “Do you think I should flip these?”  and “When should the cheese go on?”

Yes, I was definitely the alpha male!

This was one of the final products…

Perhaps this whole breaking down the barbecue wall might one day get me to finally go to the mythical land that they call, Florida!

These past couple of days of temperatures in the high 80s and low 90s has created a mega growth spurt to the life of some of my plants.

This Iris was but a small bud early last week…

I’m not complaining though, it’s a gorgeous sight for my eyes!
