Erica | Monday, January 10, 2011 at 3:00PM I have no clue what the fuck "Brooklyn Style, Bitch!" even means, but I do know this: the next time I get into a girl-on-girl fight at a diner (which let's get real, *will* likely go down some time soon), I'm just gonna start screaming that phrase over and over again that like the chick in this video does. Surprisingly, it seems to be fairly effective...which is even more confusing since this fight was apparently taking place in the Bronx.
Some chicks allegedly went apeshit when one of their cell phones went mysteriously missing at the Munch Time Diner, so then they decided to open up a can of whoop ass on each other (or I guess whoever they thought stole the phone?). Again, I have NO CLUE wtf is going on here, but I don't care. I love it anyway.
BROOKLYN STYLE, BTCHZZZZZ!

Ok, this is pretty hilars. Morning Joe apparently did a show recently where each of the guests were talking about what they thought the big story of 2010 was. And Brian Williams hilariously suggested that the biggest story of the year was the NYT's fascination with Brooklyn:
"There are young men and women wearing ironic glass frames on the streets. There are open air markets, like trading posts in the early Chippewa tribe, where you can make beads at home and then trade them for someone to come over and start a small fire in your apartment that you share with nine others. Artisinal cheeses are for sale ON THE STREETS"

Erica | Thursday, December 30, 2010 at 7:00AM How there has not yet been a post on Park Slope Parents about this, I don't know.
A few weeks ago, The Village Voice shockingly nominated our asses as one of the best local blogs (only to completely skip over the category during their award ceremony and not even announce a winner...but I digress).
However, the evening was, by no means, considered a loss because I was introduced to this fly assed 14-year-old Brooklyn rap prodigy: Astronomical Kid. And Astronomical kid is so amazingly wonderful in so many ways, I can't even enumerate them here on the blog because there isn't enough room (and yes, I'm totally 100% fucking serious, ppl).
Needless to say, his hit song "Stop Looking at My Mom" is one of the best things I've ever heard in my life.
"Just cuz I'm a shorty, don't think I won't do you no harm."
If I can afford him, this dude will TOTALLY be performing at our next FIPS event. Please go download his shit on itunes immeds.
Erica | Wednesday, December 22, 2010 at 12:00PM Here's a super cool video on the history of the Park Slope Armory from the folks behind The City Concealed: an online video series exploring the unseen corners of New York.
Like did you know that the Armory was deisnged to look "impregnable?!" The dude in the video actually says that. Ironic that the armory was supposed to look impregnable in a neighborhood where everyone gets preggo? You do the math, ppl.
They still didn't answer the ever present question on everyone's mind: why that mofo doesn't have any showers...but it's still worth a watch.
