That 'Best Parking Spot' photo in Bay Ridge is uninformed internet snark at its finest. That's a block from my apartment, and I walk past there every morning. The reason the garage door is like that is because a car smashed into that garage, and the attached brick wall not too long ago, and both are pretty damaged. I'd rather try and park in my damaged garage than try and find a street spot on that block.
Jen
You already proven numerous times that engrish is a second language for you; but DO NOT ever, ever ever ever ever, report(HA!) on sports.
Specifically, by validating anything that pompous douche spews, your ignorance cries out. He, and all his teammates, and the dreck that inhabits that filthy fucking city are not worthy of acknowledgment.
On their worst day, in their worst season, if the entire team were made up of criminals and pedophiles, The NY Yankees have, and always will have more class than that decrepit pile of shit from up north.
Stick to ping pong and chess.
jenspellnogood,
get out of your mom's basement and get a goddamn life. you have about intelligence as a cro-magnon and my guess is that you smell as probably worse.
You speak of ignorance but yet you spout off racial tomes. You're a jerk who has not come to terms that you will never amount to anything and the only shred of meaning you have in your life is to criticize people you'll never have to guts to say anything face to face.
You and your ilk are vile. You know why+ Because you offer nothing here but petty criticism. This is a blog and just a blog. It hads not billed itself as a bastian of truth or a professor of english ( I'm looking in your direction, the idiots who bother to send messages about grammar and spelling - god go die a quiet death with Milton and Shakepeare if you care so much) it's a blog meant to get you the latest at the fastest. Nothing more nothing less.
People like jenspellnogood are exaclty the people I just despise because they spend so much time cutting others down and less and improving themselves and those around them.
Jen MISSPELL AND MISSQUOTE ON, I'm still gonna read.
The NJ lab technician caught having sex with the corpse of a 92-year-old woman will probably be sentenced to time served. Per the AP, "Two psychiatrists said in separate reports that Merino needs psychological help and the plea agreement calls for therapy."
Why pay a couple of shrinks? *I* could have told the court that.
"NJ man to get time served for sex with corpse"
Isn't sex with ANY American woman like that?.
that schilling story was just the sort of inflammatory news gothamist trades in to get mouth breathers to get all riled up.
that said, schilling is a douche. always was with his bloody sock showboating, evangelical christianity, and pro-bush politics. boston is a horrible town.
this season just shows how much the yankees need wang to get to the post season. staying in it is another story.
That's just, what's the word? Ewww! I mean, having sex with a 92-year-old woman would be bad enough. (No offense to 92-year-old women out there.) Having sex with the corpse of even a recent Playboy Playmate even worse. But the corpse of a 92-year-old woman? Ew, ew and triple ew, even.
Please--I want to see NY teams in the playoffs, but for $209 million, I think it's safe to say the Yankees are underperforming.
You mess with Jen Chung, you mess with me. So whatever snide, racist, hateful things you have to say to her just say to me. Get it?
Now, let's take this outside. Ima throw some bones in your grill, haytah
#[5] In your case, the obvious answer is yes.
boston is not a horrible town, stfu
curt schilling is a pompous old windbag though
gotta say, jen's got a hell of a point when she says "for $209 million, they're underperforming."
however, not sure what prompted her to post anything said by a washed-up cocksucker who hasn't been relevant in years, even in that shitty little village called boston, let alone to people here. he should go back to playing gi joe in the lincoln bedroom with his little shrub friend and shut the fuck up about new york.
i'd argue that he didn't tell it like it is, but he told it like he thinks it is, which is like saying his little shrub friend tells it like it is, when really, he's not even speaking in sentences, or even real words.
but she's right about the underperforming part, and i wish none of us had reason to say anything related to the yankees underperforming, but the steinbrenners are definitely not getting their money's worth this year...
"not sure what prompted her to post anything said by a"
she linked to the daily news, the New York Daily News, because this is a blog about, wait for it...New York.
Die grammer nazis die with mispelled headstones.
wow, zodak, you sure did get me. key words were "hasn't been relevant in years." meaning what he says is not relevant either. meaning there's no reason to, wait for it...mention it.
