Ok, Now I'm Confused
Anyone else notice the bizarre, garage-like opening next to the Tea Lounge on Union St. where a band was playing this weekend??
WTF was that?
Did Emmett Otter's Jug Band move into the nabe?
Inquiring minds want to know...

You have GOT to be fucking kidding me about this one, BREEDERS.
Thanks to the NYT, I've learned all about a sub-group of parents who have made it their life's mission to ban ice cream trucks.
I shit you not. Read all about it for yourself: When Parents Scream Against Ice Cream.
WHY IN THE FUCK would anyone want to ban the lovable, fun-filled ice cream truck, you might wonder? Because everytime their itty bitty bebes see the ice cream man they waaaaaannnnt soooooome. And then they crrrrrrrry. And it's soooooo HAAAAAAAAAAAAARD.
OF COURSE the first incensed mother featured in the article is a Park Slope rez--O-F C-O-U-R-S-E:
So, check it: cause this shit is FUCKED UP!
Last week, Parks Department officials found 15 calf tongues nailed to trees in Prospect Park. No one knows why the tongues got nailed to the trees...but I think I do.
It was OBVIOUSLY a band of devil worshipping, baby hating, anti-vegan, vodoo, Coop hating hellians who are simply out to terrorize our tranquil neighborhood! (ORRRRRR, it was those MIHVenture bitches).
Are you gonna stand for this bullshit???!!! Please go to www.stopthedevilworshippingbabyhatingantiveganvodoocoophatinghellians.com to help fight the cause and sign our ongoing petition! LET'S TAKE ACTION!!!!

True this has nothing to do with Park Slope...or Brooklyn even. But the content of this email is so fascinating and yet so perplexing to me, I've been thinking about it all night.
Le me transcribe it for you:
Subject: How does the Jonas Brothers Phone System Work?
Hi,
How does the jonas brothers phone system work? What are the pros and cons I should be looking out for?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

!?
Ok, so either:
*This is a new Nigerian money scam that I haven't heard about (that has nothing to do with money OR Nigeria)
*This is some crazy computer virus that I am passing on each of you RIGHT NOW as you read this (haha, I have a Mac, so I'm fine!!).
*Or this is someone who legitimately thinks that we or I can give them information regarding the Jonas Brothers phone system.
Whatever the fuck it is, I'm confused...and yet intrigued.
Anyway, as you all know, FIPS CARES! So if there is anyone out there with information on this mysterious JoBro phone set up, how it works, and what, indeed, the pros and cons are, please, please let us all know.
Ok, so I have no idea what this shit even means...or how on earth it relates to Park Slope. Mostly it just sounds to me like Tiffanhay and Ashlay are Valley Girls rather than Park Slopers, but WOOT seems to disagree. And so Park Slope is front and central in today's Woot sale for a Memorex 4GB media player :
Gentrification Is Other People
Somewhere in Park Slope right now…
Okay, so, the other dhay I was getting my coffhay at this bodega near my flat, and I saw Ashlhay! And I said, “Hey, Ashlhay, want some coffhay?” but Ashlhay didn’t shay hay, she just kept walking past mhay! And so I grabbed my iPhone and called Tiffanhay and said “Tiffanhay, Ashlhay just snubbed mhay at coffhay!” and Tiffanhay said “Brandhay! I’m worrhayed! Ashlhay told mhay that she was going out todhay and buying a MemorexMMP8585C 4GB MP3Video Photo Player!”
And I said “Reallhay? Ashlhay mhay have a whay to plhay an mpthray that isn’t trendhay?” and Tiffanhay said “Reallhay, okhay?” And then we Twittered about it and linked to the Twitter on our Facebooks.
Huh? (right?) There's more....
