Prospect Park or City Dump? You Decide

On Sunday eve around 6:30pm, Greg and I took Oliver for a walk in Prospect Park. We ended up sitting on a bench in the main meadow area, and decided to people watch for a few minutes.

Needless to say, there were a SHITLOAD of people to actually watch. Scads of folks kept walking by, seemingly on their way to some mysterious BBQ (in fact I was inspired to send this Tweet).

I had no fucking clue what was going on until the next day when I got my scoop from, where else, Brooklynian.

Which Couch Should Flexichick Get?

Right. So it's midnight...and I just got home. And quite frankly, I soooo don't feel like searching through my RSS feeds now for some inane piece of semi-juicy Park Slope bullshit.

So please just help Flexichick from Brooklynian pick out a fucking couch.

Who Gives A Shit: Are People Who Leave Their Dogs Tied Up Outside Selfish Douchetards?

Inspired by this spirited discussion on Brooklynian, we've got another simple question: Do you thnk its OK to leave your dog tied up outside (while you brunch/shop/buy a bong/whatever)?

That's it.

Again, answer in the comments (and feel free to go stealth anon if you want some priv-ass-y).

Awwww....Who Wants A Turtle?

I'm counting on you mofos...someone needs to step up to the fucking plate and help MeredithB:

yeah I bought one of those red-eared sliders from some kid on the subway. I bought a tank too, filters, lights, rocks, etc. the whole deal.

But I am having to condense my possessions and I will not be able to keep him. So I'm either going to give it all away to someone who just loves turtles (maybe a school?) or he will have to make it on his own in July when I take him upstate a friends pond.

Someone?

Anyone?

Why The Fuck Is The Mere Existence of Animal Life In Park Slope "BREAKING NEWS??!!"

(ed note: I couldn't use a pic of an actual possum, b/c after the 2 min google search I conducted, I looked at some real possums and literally almost vomited all over my keyboard).

Why does everyone flip the fuck out in P. Slope when they spot "wild animals"? Why is this news?!? And I'm not talking about the pig-on-a-leash variety or the Lucky-13-Saloon-girls-on-poles-variety. A Daily Slope Message Board poster by the name of ringrunner brings us this “Breaking News!” by way of his equally important blog, “WHAT YOU DO NOT KNOW BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT ME!” Who’s the guilty party this time around? A possum.
