Undercover Doggie Ticket Blitz in Prospect Park?

Dog owners all over Park Slope are quaking in our muddy boots since we started hearing terrifying reports of undercover ticketeers lying in wait off the meadow. They allegedly wait to pounce just after off-leash hours, and issue hundred buck tickets to the unsuspecting.

Word on the street is that these stealth ticket ladies are dressed in puffy jackets, and possibly looking homeless (depending on who you talk to). They approach and call out, "hey, is that your dog?" in an overture that traditionally would lead to some friendly exchange about how pretty retrievers/pugs/doodles are. But in the case of the unlucky recipients, it leads instead to them pulling a fat ticket pad out and demanding ID.

FYI: There Is A Fat-Assed Rabbit At The Prospect Park Zoo

And I'm kind of in love with him.

His name is Herbie, and he's totes into gangster rap. Anyone up for a FIPS field trip to the zoo?

Off Leashed In Prospect Park

Me: "What kind of dog do you have?"

Pancake MIx's Owner: "Oh Mrs. Pancake Mix is part Ridgeback part Chihuahua, part pit bull with an extra shot of espresso and a soy topper."

Me: "Wait is that a dog or a pretentious order at the Tea Lounge?"

PMO: "She's a rescue, we found her amongst some thugs whilst they were buying her during a drug exchange/dog exchange in Bed Stuy...we just so happened to be campaigning for decent recycling at inner city schools...i see your dog is full ridgeback, was she bred?"

Me: Yep...wanna fight about it? By the way, the part of Mrs Pancake that's a pit bull is currently trying to eat my ridgie's face off.

Coming Soon To Prospect Park: A KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN CART!

Ok, mebbe not, but a girl can dream can't she?

Prospect Park is looking for new food vendors, and they ain't talkin about pretzels and hot dogs. So if you wanna start selling your organic, cruelty free breakfast tacos, or your vegan, locavore corn dogs with smiley faces made of fair trade mustard, get your proposal into the Parks Department pronto!

“Parks will view favorably menus that are inventive and interesting, serve a variety of options beyond hot dogs and pretzels, and that incorporate ethnically diverse and/or healthy food choices.”

ALL GEESE GO TO HEAVEN

Remember that night in July when it was really fucking hot and then also hundreds of geese were gassed to death? SO DOES JONATHAN BLUM. He remembers so hard that he busted out his paintbrushes and easel.
So, if you’re tired of looking at the empty wall in your living room and are all, “daym, what should I put up in this be-atch?,” look no further than DEAD GOOSE ART.

SO WRONG, Jonathan.

The painting, “A Canada Goose Goes to Heaven,” could be yours for $800 big ones, unless it already sold. Which is totally possible. And don’t worry: part of the proceeds go to goose related charities.
