Brooklyn: now its “a classy baby name.”
This is hilarious. Apparently, parents are naming their baby “Brooklyn” in droves. The Daily News broke the story, but I can only find the version that has been picked up by other papers. It is now the 101st most popular baby name in the nation. In Utah (The Polygamy State!) it beat out names such [...]
Brooklyn Parks Suck
I’ve suspected, but now I have proof: Our shameful parks: Watchdog study names city’s filthiest top 10 Notable quotes from the article: “In the report, 62% of Brooklyn parks got a grade of C or lower.” “They don’t keep it clean. It’s not just the garbage. Dogs run rampant through here and kids walk in [...]

Everybody from Brooklyn looks just like this.
The Brooklyn Brawler. I can’t believe it took me this long to remember this guy. The Brooklyn Brawler was one of the most famous pro wrestlers when I was a kid. We hated him then, though I didn’t know quite why until only recently. Anyway, some guy created this shrine to him, which I think [...]
In Other News
I know that this has absolutely nothing to do with the site or its cause, but its my site and I’ll do what I want with it, fuck you very much. Anyway, am I the only person that has noticed the similarity between convicted Klansman Ray Killen and the Six Flags Great Adventure Commercial Guy? [...]
“Poor people live in Brooklyn.”
Meanwhile, ass-eater Suketu Mehta waxes masturbatic about Brooklyn in The Great Awakening. According to him, “People are also moving to Brooklyn because – who in the 80′s could ever have guessed? – it has become so much safer.” Tell that to Linell Plair‘s kids. I also love how he concludes that Brooklyn has finally made [...]
Happy Father’s Day!
But not for this guy. Living in Brooklyn got this father of four shot dead. This just sucks. I feel ill.
Another graphic
Was bored at work today, here’s another one I came up with. I did this one in MS Paint. What do you think?
New Logo
I wanted to make a t-shirt for myself. So I am working on a logo. I spent all day making this. One day I will figure out WordPress well enough so that I can put it up as this site’s banner. I don’t know if it’s good enough for a t-shirt, but hey, I tried. [...]
Lots of old news today.
Look pal, I don’t get paid for this. This ain’t Eyewitness News. Anyway, I was finally able to track down the the beautiful artwork of Marcellus Hall. Mr. Hall’s cover in the March 7th New Yorker (below) got a lot of flack from self-righteous Brooklynites for obvious reasons. Hall’s answer? “It’s their own insecurities talking.” [...]
