- Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: a police car crash near Wall Street, a fall victim down a hole at Yankee Stadium, and an all hands call in Times Square.
- WNBC has some amusing highlights from Federal mafia recordings: "In actuality, to be perfectly honest with you, I shot him in the leg first, and he went down screaming, and then I started taking his arm off with the chainsaw. He couldn't move. He felt every f---ing thing I did to him."
- Idiotarod race "results" are in, along with a ton of amusing commentary: "An additional shout out to the ass I tackled at the finish line when I saw him spray painting on the park: Please send C.O.B.R.A. your address. We would like to come over, spray paint your house, spray paint your taint, and then kick you in it."
- Gary, at Runs Brooklyn, may not complete his running tour of the borough. Apparently, he overdid it, and now he's "been experiencing a weird numbness from time to time (especially from the knees down), like when your legs fall asleep or something."
- Thor Equities is threatening to walk away from their massive Coney Island plans, unless the city lets them build luxury housing right on Stillwell Avenue.
- The Observer's Rebecca Dana is supposed to be going to the NY Times... or she's staying at the Observer...
- Apparently the Tribeca McDonald's location has turned into a den of male-on-male sexual harrassment: "he manager and his flamboyant assistant manager also discussed how they wanted the heterosexual boys to appear in a gay porn movie together, how "cute" they were, speculated about whether they dated men and leered at them."
- The MTA isn't happy their logos are being used on the new NYC condoms. And Gene Russianoff of the Straphangers Campaign makes the obvious joke: "Why the subways? It does raise in my mind issues about whether they [the condoms] will work."
Tussletown, from our pal Cornershots.




"In actuality, to be perfectly honest with you, I shot him in the leg first, and he went down screaming, and then I started taking his arm off with the chainsaw. He couldn't move. He felt every f---ing thing I did to him."
I thought I read this exact same statement before, from an IRS agent regarding his collecting methods.
So Thor's threatening to pull out now that they've knocked everything down?
Wow, imagine a developer doing that.
All of you people with developer's dicks in your mouths take note... they won't love you in the morning.
