Our Middle Aged Woman Doppelganger
by beehive on Aug.25, 2010, under Uncategorized
We have a face that many people tend to think looks familiar. If we had a nickel for each time that we met someone and they told us that we looked “exactly like fill in the blank person,” we’d be a millionaire.
We get that we simply have a face that looks familiar and reminiscent of other people to people, despite the fact that we actually look nothing like these supposed doppelgangers. Having said this, over this past weekend we saw our face on CNN, only it wasn’t us on the TV, it was this lady in San Francisco.

That’s TOTALLY our face. No kidding. Same shape skull, same eyes, nose and mouth — the only difference being it appears as though this gal has larger ears than us. Being shocked at how close the resemblance was, we called Fiancee over to take a look. She laughed at how close the resemblance was to the point where she had to take a seat — this was without a doubt, a face match.
“With the hair, she looks exactly like a young version of your grandmother!” Fiancee then said.
Who would have thought it, our doppelganger is a middle aged woman in San Francisco. Seriously though, this gal has us thinking that she very well may likely be the daughter of a Great Half-Aunt or Great Half-Uncle of ours — so if you know this lady, have her email us.
The Darwin Terrace
by beehive on Aug.24, 2010, under Trickle Down Ethics, Uncategorized
There are quite a few houses like the one below in the greater Bay Ridge / Dyker Heights / Bath Beach / Bensonhurst area of Brooklyn that have what we have coined to be a Darwin Terrace.

The Darwin Terrace is typically on the 2nd or 3rd floor of a private home. It is entered onto by way of a sliding glass door. It does not have a railing on it, and it gives off the appearance of the Darwin Terrace homeowner having run out of funds on an ill-conceived home renovation.
The Darwin Terrace gets its name by way of a homeowner who will one day be dumb enough to wake up in the morning, walk out onto a terrace that does not have a railing on it, go for a stretch and subsequently fall off the side of his or her terrace to their death being someone whose death will be dumb enough to receive a Darwin Award.
Quite honestly, we’re simply shocked (and thankful) that in light of the many Darwin Terraces throughout Brooklyn, we haven’t heard of one little toddler unknowingly walking his or her way out of the house by way of the Darwin Terrace to a sad death.
Snap out of it and get a fence people!!!
Free Creepy Apples
by beehive on Aug.23, 2010, under Uncategorized
We found this tin containing two apples on a bench in Brooklyn’s Shore Road Park.

There was a sign attached to the tin that read, “Please take they are from a garden.”

Several things ran through our mind. Who took and ate the other apples that were most likely in that tin? Did someone ever think that apples didn’t come from a garden of some sort? Like, did they think that apples came out of the engines of 60s muscle cars or something?
Lastly, who would be eccentric enough to think that leaving a tin full of apples in a park in the middle of Brooklyn with a sign saying “free” would be a good thing, and apparently have it all work out? Certainly not us…
Blue Bloods, Bay Ridge
by beehive on Aug.23, 2010, under Uncategorized
Back in April we posted notice about how Donnie Wahlberg, Tom Selleck and Bridget Moynahan very well might be in Bay Ridge due to the filming of the pilot episode of Regan’s Law for CBS. Well, CBS picked it up, changed the name (it’s now called Blue Bloods) and the production is going to continue to film in Bay Ridge.
Starting tonight at 10:00PM several streets will be closed for the production of Blue Bloods

The production company was kind enough to tape this note along with the many temporary no parking signs that gives more info on what will be happening.

The following streets are shut off from regular parking:
Both sides of Shore Road between 78th and 82nd Street.
Both sides of Narrows Ave between 80th and 82nd Street.
East side of Narrows Ave between 79th and 80th Street.
Both sides of 82nd Street between Shore Road and Narrows Avenue.
We can only hope that someone will be able to snag Donnie Wahlberg into doing an impromptu Hangin’ Tough at one of the local bars.
Camo UFOS

We’ve never been much of the club type, but our old pal, musical genius, and legendary DJ, (the) Mike B, has been for as long as we’ve known him. Mike has a new project that sounds flippin’ delicious to the point that we are finding ourselves wishing that we were located in Los Angeles so that we could to take in his new project out and about in person.
Mike’s new project — CAMO UFOS.

[Mike B and Nate Day / CAMO UFOS]
If you happen to be fortunate enough to be in L.A., CAMO UFOS are playing Metropolis (08/28 at 10PM) and Avalon Hollywood (09/24 at 10PM).
Regardless of your location, we encourage you to allow your brain to be blown (in the non Budd Dwyer sense) and take a listen to their sound via their Facebook band page.
Yes, it now looks like we’re going to grow up and be that crazy old white haired honky of a white guy who blasts jungle music out of our Lincoln Continental as we cruise the streets to and from buying our toilet paper at 10AM on Saturday mornings in 2050.
