Something to Look Forward to

2008_07_sitvisit.jpgToday, Belmar, NJ mayor Ken Pringle visited Staten Island, as part of his apology after slamming the borough's ladies, as well as calling out "guidos." We're looking forward to the Post's coverage tomorrow, because of this advance word, via the SI Advance: "A reporter from the New York Post dressed for the occasion in an undershirt, spray-on tan and a gold necklace approached Pringle while the New Jersey official had lunch in Lorenzo's Restaurant, wanting to know if he was still welcome in Belmar. 'What do you think about this, huh?' said the reporter, Justin Rocket Silverman. 'Am I a clown to you?'"

"Am I a clown to you?"

Wow, that must have been pretty hard to respond to with a straight face.

Yo Pringle, I ain't goin' to by nun of your funny cheaps anymore to go with my PBR's.

What's ironic is that Post reporter changing out of his clown costume to pretend he's from S.I.

He who looketh forward to anything regarding Staten Island is truly someone who hath little to look forward to"

The guy already works for the Post. He didn't have to dress up to be a clown.

Pringle laid his chips on the table.

Guidos are the original metrosexuals.

>Guidos are the original metrosexuals.

In some twisted sense, that's correct. Which guys were wearing spray-on tans, rings, earrings, and gucci loafers before the rest of us.....guidos!
I'm longing for an Iroc-Z right now....
