"I will be at your door tomorrow with various carpet samples."

I hate my noisy neighbor (Inwood / Wash Hts)

You! Upstairs neighbor- I will be speaking with you tomorrow- but why are you walking around upstairs like you are 500 pounds! you drag your feet and walk around constantly and then every it sounds like you are dropping a small child on the floor- It is 1 in the morning!!!! And who is this kid who keeps coming around 11 at night- he keeps ringing the buzzer so what’s his deal

In my mind you are all engaged in some illeagal operation up there, but some days I have a heart and i think- the boy is taking care of an old uncle- what ever it is I am done guessing! Co-op says 80 percent of the floor should be covered in carpeting- I will be at your door tomorrow with various carpet samples.

I hate you people so much- SO MUCH 

And is it just me or does everyone have this experience

"I have been turned down by a prostitute."

Why does the world hate fat men? (New York)

Today marks the 10 year anniversary of my last date. I have answered hundreds of ads and have not even had one woman on the face of this earth that has wanted to even have a first date. I am fat. I am 450 pounds. I have an emotional problem obviously. I have been turned down by a prostitute. I was told by a dating service that I should save my money because they didn’t think they could do anything for me. Loneliness and depression are all I have day in and day out. My friends tell me that I am a nice guy. They tell me that there is someone out there for everyone. It seems that fat people are the last universally acceptable group to tease or ignore. Every other group has at least themselves that they can fall back on, to socialize within and find someone. Unfortunately, it seems even fat women want nothing to do with fat men.

Larvae Found In Imported African Bras (showing up in NY)

It is horrible. Guys tell your wife, sisters, girlfriends, and girl cousins to wash bra before wearing.

All please wash all bras, underwear when you buy before wearing them. We do not know what parasite is in our clothes when we buy them. Forward to everybody you know. Let me fore warn you. Thiis is so  squimish. I feel like something is crawling all over me even as I send this to you. Be aware. It is so grotesque. Please wash your underwear before wearing. Preferably in boiling hot water.

They were delicious. 

A bunch of great articles from this year that made me rethink assertions, informed me or entertained me. All available for free.

  • Getting Bin Laden(Nicholas Schmidle, New Yorker): The best long-form journalism of the new century. Perfect writing and editing. Will be read with equal fascination 50 years from now.
  • The Movie Set That Ate Itself,” (Michael Idov, GQ): Intrepid reporter with a deadpan sensibility ventures onto the most insane movie set ever.
  • Better, Faster. Stronger“ (Rebecca Mead, New Yorker): Wicked portrait of a Silicon Valley self-help guru. Reading this piece is a good way to learn how to write profiles.
  • ‘”The Elusive Big Idea(Neal Gabler, New York Times): I don’t agree with most of the assertions of this essay, but it’s deeply intelligent and provocative.
  • Douglas Rushkoff(Peggy Nelson, HiLowbrow.com): Deep and probing interview with the media ecologist.
  • Who Invented The Seven-Game Series?“ (Michael Weinreb, Grantland): Reporter asks simple question others gloss over, finds interesting historical and analytical info.
  • Zell to L.A. Times: Drop Dead(Laurie Winer, L.A. Review of Books): Great writing about Sam Zell and the painful decline of the Los Angeles Times.
  • Show the Monster(Daniel Zalewski, The New Yorker): Brilliant Guillermo del Toro portrait for fans of film or great writing.
  • The Man Who Inspired Jobs(Christopher Bonanos, The New York Times): Polaroid founder Edwin H. Land was oddly omitted from Steve Jobs’ obits, but this lucid, insightful essay remedied that oversight. Better yet: Bonanos is apparently working on a book about Polaroid.
  • All the Angry People (George Packer, The New Yorker): The most revealing reporting yet about the genesis and meaning of Occupy Wall Street.

"I told her to go away. She threatened me."

woman who threatened me and wouldnt go away- (Upper West Side)

This woman sits around in the park all day, as though she has nothing else to do.

Her and I had an issue and I walked away. She kept comeing over to me and getting in front of my face. I told her to go away. She threatened me. What should I do?

She is always gossiping and telling people what to do who come into the park! It is unpleasant for me to come back and I enjoy the park so much!
Help!

"Some people are afraid of chronic wasting disease."

eat deer

its a shame we dont eat deer. some people hate the idea because deer are so cute and some people are afraid of chronic wasting disease even tho there hasnt been a single case of deer to human transference that I heard of. still the deer populations can get large and eating deer would be the logical answer. 

"This way we can all die like Jim Henson."

Time For Humanity To Fold

We’re the worst thing to happen to this planet. Our raw naked greed is the problem. We want things and we want them enough to kill for them, to put lethal toxins in the environment for them, to allow others to starve for them. We suck. Nothing intelligent designed us, we are the product of a few billion years of random chance that almost worked. Almost.

Eventually the bacteria will kill most of us off, quicker because advertising has convinced us that bacteria is scary and we need to wash ourselves, do dishes and do laundry with anti-bacterial soaps, which of course, just makes the bacteria stronger in the long run. This way we can all die like Jim Henson. Or maybe a Captain Trips scenario ala’ Stephen King’s ‘The Stand’. However it happens, the sooner, the better. My sincere good wishes and good will to the next species that moves up the evolutionary ladder, I hope you do better than we did.

Hi!
I’m looking for some venison for my family. Must be fresh…no roadkill.

I’ll pay a fair price.

Thanks! 

Finger nails? (My loss is your gain!)

I have 10 freshly clipped finger nails. Any one want them for artwork, collections, to make jewelry, to make soup, to use as weapons, as holiday gifts, to decorate your tree this season, etc etc? If so contact me, they are free! I am trying to pay it forward and help my fellow man.
