Frommer? Hardly knew ‘er!

January 26th, 2011

A pocket guide from the 1870’s, helping gentlemen on the town locate the nearest bawdy house or “ladies seminary” while visiting New York City.

No. 127 W. 26th street is a ladies boarding house of the second class, kept by Madame Buemont. There is a report of a bear being kept in the cellar, but for what reason may be inferred. There is not anything else attractive about the place.

Get Your T-shirts!!

January 14th, 2011

rat-a-tat-tatttt!

Jeffrey Forde was just taking a nap on the train. Easy enough. He woke up with a fistful of money and a mad t-shirt campaign to boot. Rats on a train! That’s right, whatthefuckers!

Just another day in baggage claim.

In Harlem, a woman was found stuffed inside a suitcase with her leg sticking out.  Looks like someone [puts on sunglasses] didn’t toe the line.  YEEEAAAAAHHHHHH

Happy 106th birthday, New York Subway!

Loving tribute here.  Loving photo gallery here.  Neat-o architectural/archeological news here.  Now step aside or keep moving.

Birthplace of Hip Hop saved.

English prof takes issue with barista’s grammar, gets police escort off premises.

August 16th, 2010

No doubt, the police escort probably saved her from the people standing behind her in line. 

(Also — was her point of grammar even correct?  What if we take ‘Tall’, ‘Grande’ or ‘Venti’ to be proper nouns, as they likely are in the Starbucks universe?  And more importantly, why would anyone in New York get their bagels from a fucking Starbucks?  Fucking heathen…)

When D Trains Attack!

June 18th, 2010

Drunk dude has a bit of a slip ‘n’ fall on the subway platform, winds up pinned between the platform and the train in this super-cringey video.

Sure, he was drunk, but if you’re going to have limbs crushed, wouldn’t you want to be a bit numb already?

Pals of Paladino.

April 12th, 2010

Putting the ‘candid’ in ‘candidate’, Carl Paladino is running for Governor of New York, but that doesn’t stop him from forwarding racist and sexist emails, along with bestiality videos (see “horses, bottoming for”).  Suddenly, the comeback of the Luv Guv doesn’t seem so far-fetched any more… [First link prolly NSFW, depending on your workplace's black-bar policy.]

Caught masturbating in public again?

Hipster complains about ridiculous people, doesn’t realize where he is.

March 15th, 2010

Some Williamsburg hipster* has started a blog about ‘subwaydouchery‘.  (As seen in today’s Post).  Cue ersatz outrage.

*He’s gotta be a transplant, in that he’s under 30, has beard and plaid, works in iffy media, lives in Williamsburg but has an Anglo-Saxon last name — but most importantly, is still bothered enough by this shit to blog about it, rather than just pretend he didn’t see nuthin’, officer, or simply shrug and say ’so?’.

Sadly, he’d only been trained in banana defense.

Woman is shopping in Macy’s.  Woman gets propositioned by a teenage couple.  Woman gets upset.  Woman’s husband rejoins her.  Husband and teenage guy start scuffle.  Security guard beaten with mannequin parts, blah blah blah, The End.
