The Mets Official Cheez Doodle

beehive — Thu, 17 May 2012 12:08:19 +0000

With the New York Mets being four games above .500 this season, it’s looking to be a successful season, which is something that couldn’t be said in many years due to Omar Minaya and Jerry Manuel screwing up the team more and more with each passing minute. But Sandy Alderson and Terry Collins have been trying to fix their inherited mess for over a year now, and it’s clearly getting better. There’s hope for the team full of young men who want to play, who play hard and who want to win. But we think that there’s another secret reason for the success: the Mets have finally decided on an Official Cheez Doodle!

Yes, the secret to success in all aspects of life is knowing who you have as an Official Cheez Doodle. I can haz cheez doodle!

Barclays Center May 2012

It’s been a while since we took a peek at the Barclays Center at the corner of Flatbush and Atlantic Avenue. Right now it looks as though it is an alien ship out of Independence Day.

We can’t wait for it to open up so that the entire area around it can turn into an illustrious neighborhood similar to the one that surrounds Madison Square Garden (hardy har har)… at least the circus will actually be coming town in 2013!

New York’s Modern Day Stratagem

We get a kick out of seeing empty NYPD RMPs parked along the side of prominent streets and on vital bridges. It gives the false sense of safety. There aren’t officers around it, it’s merely an empty vehicle, parked to give the illusion of a larger police presence on the streets than there actually is. The Allies used a similar technique during the Invasion of Normady in World War II, when they dropped lifeless dummies alongside the real life paratroopers to give the sense of a larger invasion. It proved to be a wonderful scare tactic.

But whenever we see an empty cruiser like the one in this photo, we think of this tagline, “Empty NYPD cruisers, keeping our city safe since 2001.”

We swung past the World Trade Center yesterday to snap some photos for the site. While there, we noticed that our perception of the Freedom Tower (a.k.a. 1 WTC) has changed from last month. The building now looks enormous as it reaches up and touches the sky.

Life is an amazing series of twists and turns. Never in a million years did we expect to find ourselves strolling around the private areas of Cambridge University, let alone get to visit the Wren Library.

It’s simply one of the most beautiful and spectacular and awesome buildings both inside and out that we’ve ever come across.
