So check this out: earlier this month, the New York Times wrote an article about the Facebook group "Thirty something and grew up in Park Slope."
a. This is why I love Facebook.
b. Not to get all self congratulatory on day fucking two, but this *totally* proves my Paris Hilton point about Park Slope.
People c-a-n-n-o-t stop talking about it.
Currently at 815 members (!), the article details the group's attempts at capturing the nostalgia of this innocent time in BK's history with charming slice of life anecdotes like this one: "the great break dancing battle (took place) in the playground of Public School 321 between Alfie, a black kid with relaxed hair and a Michael Jackson jacket, and Adam, a white kid who supposedly got his eyebrows singed when Alfie lit a piece of highly flammable paper for pyrotechnic effects."
There's a "whatever happened to" thread (where R U Seyin Cubucku??), some cool photos from back in the day and a few vids.
Uhm...ok.
While Alfie does, admittedly, sound like a total fucking rock star, mostly I'm just utterly fascinated by the fact that the NYT wrote this story in the first place. I mean, there is *literally* no story here...except, that, [yet again] Park Slope rules and whatever stupid town you're from sux.
Am I missing something?
No wonder everyone hates the shit out of us.
Anyway.
As a selfless gift to everyone else who has a hard on for Park Slope, I did some research and unearthed a number of other Facebook groups that might grease ur wheels:
*PARK FUCKING SLOPE (1,186 members)
*Park Slope is Dead (24 members)
*New Park Slope Ladies Funtime Goodtimes Group (8 members)
*You Know You're From Park Slope When... (426 members)
*Park Slope Ultimate Frisbee League (PSUFL) (54 members)
*The Inevitable Damnation of Park Slope (25 members)
*Ive (sic) Burned in Park Slope dis Summer (17 members)
*I Am Suspended from The Park Slope Food Coop (7 members)
*Get the NY Times To Shut Up About Park Slope Already (4 members)
*Dem Slope Boyz (a Park Slope Frat!!!) (request to join)
Right.
So, I guess I'll see all your asses in 20 yrs in the "yuppie wannabe douchetards who lived in da slope in oh to the 8" group (email me if you want admin privileges).
