WHAT TO DO WHEN: YOU WANT TO SELL A CAR IN PARK SLOPE?

Ok, in fairness I have no fucking clue. 

I have a zipcar membership, and so I'm not exactly savvy in the ways of automobile ownership.

But "bootstrap" on Brooklynian was looking for some scoop on how to sell his ride, and I thought it was an interesting topic: 

I'm looking to sell my 4Runner and haven't yet had the pleasure of selling a car in NYC. Aside from posting that beautiful black and orange 'FOR SALE' sign in the window, any tips for local online advertising? There's obviously the usual suspects like Craigslist NY, but I've never sold a car there before and am not sure if it's worth the time/hassle of dealing with potential scammers.

Craigslist seemed spammy as hell the last time I looked at used cars. There were all these bullshit posts about dudes away in the military and needing to sell cars "FAST" and crap. So what do people do these days when they want to sell a car in the BK?

WHAT TO DO WHEN: YOUR DOG EATS CHOCOLATE AND YOU THINK HE'S GONNA DIE

SPOILER ALERT: You should call Animal Poison Control. Here's their number: 888-426-4435

I would suggest you get that shit into your phone right now, just in case. 

Let me set the scene of this almost catastrophe for you: last week Greg and I were both sound asleep--or at least I was. Greg was awoken by the sound of Oliver's nails click, click, clicking across the floor at a clip that he deemed quite unusual for 6:45 in the morning. Curious, Greg got up and followed him into the living room...and that's where he saw the wreckage. Oliver had managed to unsheath, and eat, 36 of those gold, chocolate Chanukah gelt coins that he fished out of a Target bag that we (VERY FUCKING STUPIDLY) had left on the floor with all of our nieces and nephews gifts. 

OMFG, OMFG, OMFG, OMFG.
