Between Air Force One’s insanely low flyover of Manhattan, the spread of the Swine Flu across NYC and even FEMA pulling the plug on a 9-11 themed kids coloring book written by a grandmother, there’s certainly no shortage of paranoia rolling around the Big Apple these days. With that in mind, you deserve this moment […]

Umm… fascinating: “People don’t understand the dictionary—it’s called queer. Queer means strange and unusual. It’s not like a slur, like you would call a white person a honky or something like that.” Umm… we called it ‘queer’, not the dictionary.  The dictionary calls us ‘homophile.’ When Joe the Plumber calls us queer, it IS a slur. Isn’t […]

This is probably the only story that’s going to appear both in Variety and on Midtown Lunch and Eater’s blogs. Do you remember a few years when that cabbie in Time Square went apeshit and just started running over pedestrians. This is better. Instead of a cab, it’s a Ferrari. And instead of a pedestrian […]

Smoke ‘em only if you can fucking afford ‘em, New Yorkers. With the average price of a pack of cigarettes in NYC soaring above $10, many nicotine addicts previously forced into the cold by Mayor Bloomie’s bar smoking ban are now being forced to make an even tougher choice. Thanks to recent tax raises on […]

There won’t be a Triple Crown on the line at the 141st running of the Belmont Stakes this weekend at New York’s Belmont Park, but the jockey of favorite horse Mine That Bird could make some history of his own. Little man Calvin Borel rode 50-1 long shot Bird to a dramatic win at the […]

It’s pony season again kids, and this year’s Triple Crown kicked off the first Saturday of May with the 135th running of the $2 million Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. (The winner, Mine That Bird, was apparently a real upset) It’s not too late to pour yourself a tall mint julep… Next around the bend […]

Yeah, the whole YouTube fake ‘caught while jacking off’ thing is pretty tired – but when you come across the real thing it’s good fun!  This is an otherwise boring JO scene, BUT, at 4:38 you can hear the door latch go, and at 4:44, in the mirror, and you can see the door open […]

Come on, you never fantasized about Jaba.   I know I wanted to wear that skimpy outfit Lea had on, but to be Jaba – hot! It even has a built in fan, just like Plushie! Jabba the fursuit – Boing Boing .

It was the spirit of good-natured sportsmanship in the looming shadow of global economic collapse that brought 40 out-of-work New Yorkers with nothing fucking better to do to the East Village’s Tompkins Square Park on a recent weekday afternoon to compete in the 2009 Unemployment Olympics. “Athletes” competed in four “sports” — “Pin the Blame […]

JJ’s post about Joe Crocker reminded me of this fantastic footage of poor Amy where instead of singing the words she just sort of scats (as in Crothers, not poop) her way thru the song.  I know she has her problems, but, the whole thing is  seems kinda on purpose.  I always thought it was amazing.
