The Park Slope 100

Buckle your seatbelts, bitches...its that time of year again.

Only the Blog Knows Brooklyn is putting together their yearly Park Slope 100 list and is looking for suggestions.

In case you're wondering what the fuck the Park Slope 100 is, voila:

"The Park Slope 100 is 100 stories, 100 ways of looking at the world, 100 inspiring people, places and things in and around Park Slope. It can be a person, a place, a thing, even an event. Let me know who, what and where was notable and powerful and 2009. One tip: I especially like people who direct their energies outward towards the better good of others in some way."

Wow, that last line TOTALLY sounds like FIPS, riiiight?

Anyway.

We thought this would be a great opp to officially let loose with our suggestions for the list, so check em:

• FAKESTEVEBUSCEMI - I mean, yeah, we do have the REALSTEVEBUSCEMI here in PS, which is kinda cool...granted. But FAKESTEVEBUSCEMI's twitter feed was so fucking hilarious it made my face hurt. Dude deserves some props.
• The guy who sells socks in front of La Bagel Delight on the weekends (in N. Slope) - He's always friendly, has good deals, and saves me a trip to Target = win/win. Also, riddle me this: where else can you get a poppy seed bagel with scallion cream cheese AND a pair of athletic socks in one trip?
• The Westboro Baptist Church - True they're all a bunch of fucking bitchburgers, but it was fun to Kumbaya it up with my fellow Slopers at Temple Beth Elohim and show em who's boss. Also, they taught us the word "bitchburger"...nuff said.
• Donuts from 7th Ave Donuts - if ever there was a donut concerned with "the better good of others," it came from 7th Ave Donuts. Trust.
• Amy Sohn - Her satirical book Prospect Park West should be required reading for everyone in Park Slob. Also, she taught me the word hasbian, so yeah: she can run me over with her stroller anytime she damn well pleases.
• The Evil Spirit that is haunting the corner of 5th & President - R.I.P. Playa and every other fucking restaurant that has ever been there. For the love of Gawd, will someone please turn that place into an American Apparel or something already?
• Amber from Hey Brooklyn - True confessions: I was on the show, but my rec is still ginuwine. Every week Amber interviews interesting, creative Brooklyn peeps on her podcast, and they all seem to be doing v. cool things. You should iTunes it up pronto.
• Greg from 30 Second Life - Double true confessions: this is the dude I'm married to. But that doesn't change the fact that his vlog, in which he documents his life with a series of :30 second videos, still totally fucking rules.
• Rabbi Andy Bachman - His Westboro smackdown will go down in the history books. Also, any Rabbi who blogs AND non-apologetically links back to FIPS is pretty much my hero.
• Oliver - I'm sorry, but he *is* the hawtest dog in the nabe. Jus sayin.
• The Maclaren Stroller Catastrophe of 09' - Duh.
• Your mom

Ok, I guess that's all for now. If you people have any better ideas, you can send your own damn suggestions to louise_crawford(at)yahoo(dot)com over at OTBKB. Or just rant-n-rave about em in the comments, as per u.
