Another simple question: What's the one thing you hate most about Park Slope?
That's it.
Again, answer in the comments (and feel free to go stealth anon if you want some prive).

Back in the 1980's, my mom used to give Upper West Side delivery guys a dollar and they would shit themselves with happiness.
I learned the hard way about delivery guy inflation when I came home from college in 1993: I gave a guy from Empire Szechwan a dollar and had him curse me in Cantonese.

Dear Mothers, Fathers, Mothers-in-Law, Fathers-in-Law, Most Aunts, Most Uncles, Godparents and Friends of Parents,
I think its great that many of you are embracing technology, texting with your kids, using digital cameras and, perhaps, even video chatting with your grandkids. In fact, I encourage to you to continue exploring the dub dub dub with reckless abandon. Set up an RSS reader for yourself! Start a family blog! Make your own greeting cards! Download some foreign language podcasts!
There is much out there on the web for you to enjoy.
But, here's the thing (and I'm sorry if its hard for you to hear this) but this is the honest truth that many of my Generation X, Y and We comrades are not quite sure exactly how to tell you is this: WE DO NOT WANT TO BE YOUR FUCKING FACEBOOK FRIENDS.

Can I just say one fucking thing – and I know you're not supposed to type when you're angry (and I am fucking PISSED) but - how many more times does this have to happen before Politically Correct Park Slope fucktards can start admitting they're noticing a little bit of a pattern?!?
If Islam is a peaceful religion - fine, then I have nothing against Islam itself, but can we at least start acknowledging that the fucking animals continually committing these acts of terror don't exactly happen to vary in terms of religious belief and ethnic descent?

PARK SLOPE, Brooklyn (FIPSNN) – 10th street resident Aaron Feldman announced plans this morning to wear his IDF T-Shirt to an 11am brunch at Dizzy's. With Israeli ground troops entering Gaza and the current wave of violence entering it's 9th day, local analysts predict that Feldman's move in the largely Palestinian-supporting South Slope could be suicidal.
Feldman, a park slope Hipster and Heeb magazine subscriber, describes his move as one of disgust and defiance.
"You know what, it's not a popular viewpoint in this neighborhood, but violence is the only language those people understand. Why does no one condemn the constant rocket attacks on Israel during a time of so called-truce," Feldman argued, "if there were fucking rockets hitting Dizzy's for chrissakes, you think we wouldn't retaliate, or that we'd demand a measured response?"
Elizabeth Fitz, a Park Slope yoga instructor, condemned the move as aggressive and distasteful.
"Normally, I mind my own business when I'm walking down the street," Fitz explained, " I see them walking around with those IDF shirts in the summer, I think maybe they were on a Kibbutz, or even served in the army themselves – I try to mind my own business – but to wear that fucking shirt on a day like today? it's disgusting. Would they wear a shirt of the South African Military that fought against Nelson Mandela? Would they wear a pro-apartheid shirt? Because that's essentially the message they're sending."
Dr. Charles Salter, a professor of Sociological Studies at Oberlin College, highlighted the importance of t-shirt messaging in modern Hipster culture.
"It's a mistake to view wearing a T-shirt as a simple action, " explained Dr. Salter, "in today's passive-aggressive Hipster culture, T-shirt messaging is the core physical outlet for self-expression and political positioning. My freshman students, some of whom have spent more time on the Internet than at the mall, have trouble understanding the importance of T-Shirt messaging; I just tell them to think of it as a realspace Twitter update."
Anya Cohen, a hostess at Dizzy's, reacted to the news with surprise.
"I'll believe it when I see it," she said, "a lot of these guys are all talk. It would certainly be a ballsy move, but I have to reiterate that a customer is a customer, and Dizzy's waitstaff would never discriminate for any reason: We treat all of our customers like shit regardless of political affiliation. "
Ms. Cohen's duties also include concept and rendering for the Daily Bread, a chalkboard menu which is placed on the sidewalk outside the restaurant and traditionally displays specials and a political or philosophical message. This morning, FIPSNN asked whether the colorful "FREE PALESTINE" she was drawing on the Daily Bread could likewise be interpreted as controversial.
"Absolutely not," replied Ms. Cohen, "this is completely different."
