- Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: a perp search and armed robbery on Sutphin Blvd. and 107th Ave. in Queens, a three-alarm brush fire on Cross Bay Blvd. and 165th Blvd. on Queens, and a pedestrian struck on 31st St. and 3rd Ave. in Manhattan.
- It's not quite free, but at $.31 a scoop ( think 31 flavors), Baskin Robbins strikes back against Ben & Jerry's free scoop day. Cutthroat adver-promotion is awesome.
- President Bush welcomed the NY Giants to the White House to congratulate them on their Super Bowl victory. The President appeared awkward, stuttering, and sincere in his congratulatory address.
- A pair of girls was found half-dressed, drunk and wandering aimlessly in the woods by police this morning. (New Jersey).
- Advertising is graf that you get paid for. The MTA is planning on extending is flood-the-interior ad campaign of subway cars to the exteriors of trains.
- Mayor Bloomberg returns to the air after two months with the reappearance of John Gambling at WOR/710AM.
- Robin Williams, NYC, L&O, pillow fights, John Munch scrapping with college girls.
- The City Council approved denser development rezoning for Harlem in a 47-2 vote.

>>>Mayor Bloomberg returns to the air after two months with the reappearance of John Gambling at WOR/710AM.
Interesting how he sniffed at the thought of appearing with Curtis one on one.

Dave - the photos are usually NYC-themed... what's the NYC significance of the "Pyrate Queen" for those of us who don't know?
Hmm, good question. The photo was tagged 'gothamist' and it seemed like an interesting macro image. Because it was macro, I didn't consider the wider NYC context, and it may not have one. It did remind me of a Manhattan bartender, who was nicknamed "Dirty Pirate Mouth" by friends because she had a way with the f-bombs.
Beyond that, I guess we'll just have to enjoy the image for what it is.
A pair of girls was found half-dressed, drunk and wandering aimlessly in the woods by police this morning. (New Jersey).
And this is different from the aftermath of the typical frat party, how?
Hah! I'd love to meet her.
Eh, you'd just meet and fall in love with her. And then she would beat you up. Then you'd ask for seconds, because 'Dirty Pirate Mouth' is a bewitching woman.
That's how it goes with the distaff pirates. Easy to fall in with, hard to keep up with.
and when does the "president" appear anything but awkward, and when is he not stuttering? this is a guy who speaks in sentence fragments and manages to create fragments that don't even make sense (grammatically or logically (if one's trying to determine what message he's actually trying to convey)).
in other words, he's speaks worse english than the average giants player, and i doubt they're used to being in the company of people who speak worse than they do--i see (without much imagination) where "awkward" comes into play. though i am able to imagine that behind closed doors, some kind of more comfortable grunt language was used successfully...
wow, imagine a typo in a sentence about someone speaking poor english. there's probably a little gum on this shoe sole...
south brunswick - YAY, my hometown!! making headlines every week. Just earlier this week, a gym teacher was arrested for having sex with a student.
