The Next Friends-ian Hit TV Series, Live from Park Slope

quijibo writes in the Prospect Heights Message Boards:

the next “friends”ian hit tv series will be about…

a lesbian couple who adopt an ecuadorean orphan
who doublepark their strollers at the tea lounge
shop at the food co-op + back to the land
are vegan

and there’s al the window washer guy
this one brooklyn native,
who fancies himself to be mucho mucho street
i mean like streeter than street

al employs a bunch of hispanic men to wash store windows
up and down 5th avenue

and they have these amazingly decorated bicycles
with huge handlebars
festooned with decoration –fulla bling
and wait. do they drink?
yeh. they drink
and they all go to total wine bar for drinks

Key Foods: Roach/Rat Sanctuary CANNED

From Dope on the Slope: “Kudos to Key Food for replacing the aromatic array of garbage bags that made the south side of Carroll Street [and 7th] a fly, rat and roach sanctuary with a fresh flower market.”

“Key Foods is a regional grocer, with several stores in Brooklyn. Does this new line of business make them a ‘daisy chain?'”

Ouch.

Hey, it's That Wine from the Movie "Sideways"

sanford pinot-tn.jpgFound at a wine shop on 7th Ave. near Flatbush.

I asked the guy behind the counter if they sold a lot of it. He said, “uh, no. Not really.”

Awkward pause.

We tried a bottle, but I don’t know enough about wine to say anything other than “it was good.”

Worst Fortune-Cookie Fortunes Ever. In Bed.

maybe-you-can-live-on-moon.jpg

“Maybe”?? (May be?) What kind of weak fortune is that? When you give a fortune, are you supposed to vacillate and hedge your bets–or pronounce the future authoritatively? Or at least “see” something happening in the future: “I see craters – a colony of people … do you know somebody with the first initial J?” “Ohmigod! That’s my uncle Jimmy! We’re going to be living on the moon!

More to come.

These fortunes came from Mr. Wonton in Park Slope. You can reach Mr. Wonton at … wait. Forget it. Am I your frickin’ entertainment directory? Go use Google.
