BROOKLYN AGAINST...EVERYTHING, JUST 'CAUSE

When there are things about which to bitch in Park Slope, you better believe that FIPS has something to say about it.  Well, usually.  But this time, I'm too busy laughing not about the overhead plane noise (that, for the record, I heard for the first time while writing this post, yawn) that's the complaint-du-jour, but at the name of the organization that's bitching and screaming: Brooklyn Against Aircraft Noise.

I'm unsure why this tickles me so pink, but the fact that the Slope residents - who, sadly, simply cannot use the outdoor spaces of their million-$-plus Brownstones because of the planes overhead - can't just get together and whine without having a meticulous name for their complaining...I don't know, it just does it for me.

Now, maybe all of you who live in real Park Slope (not mangy South Slope like some of us), actually have plane noise.  If so, that's a bummer.  I don't know the real scoop so, for once, I'm not going to be judgmental.  But I am going to laugh at how seriously you take yourselves and your "heated debate"...and post about it on a blog.  Just look at me go.

(But top serious...do you people really have such fucking unbearable plane noise?  In your response, please list your Coop membership status and number of alerts you've been put on if applicable so I can assess how seriously I will take your response.)
