KILLIN IT

ROAD TRIP

There's a yard sale that's 675 miles long. It's been starting on August 5th every year for 23 years. Dekalb Visions and Unique sort of seem like no big deal now.

NO WAY

Do you remember that Simpsons episode where Bart has lizards and they start eating all the pigeons and everyone gets stoked? And then...

Skinner: Well, I was wrong; the lizards are a godsend.
Lisa: But isn't that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we're overrun by
lizards?
Skinner: No problem. We simply release wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes.
They'll wipe out the lizards.
Lisa: But aren't the snakes even worse?
Skinner: Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous type of
gorilla that thrives on snake meat.
Lisa: But then we're stuck with gorillas!
Skinner: No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the
gorillas simply freeze to death.

Apparently a real version of this is happening in Brooklyn. Check this out from the NY POST.


'In a bizarre attempt to outwit Mother Nature, city officials introduced beady-eyed opossums in Brooklyn years ago to scarf down rats running amok in the borough, according to local officials.

Surprise: Operation opossum didn't work.

Not only do wily rats continue to thrive, but the opossums have become their own epidemic, with bands of the conniving creatures sauntering through yards, plundering garbage cans and noshing on fruit trees.

They've even taken up golf, with two sightings of the whiskered marsupials at the Dyker Heights municipal course in the past week, local officials said.


OPOSSUM
Marsupial marauder.
"They are everywhere," said Theresa Scavo, chairwoman for Community Board 15, which represents Sheepshead Bay and surrounding south Brooklyn neighborhoods.

"Didn't any of those brain surgeons realize that the opossums were going to multiply?"

A city Sanitation spokeswoman said they were not involved with the Brooklyn opossum drop, and the Health Department didn't have any record of it. But Scavo and two city councilmen said city officials spoke about the effort at a 2007 Brooklyn forum.

"City brought possums in to take care of rats," read Community Board 15 notes from the meeting.

The opossums were set free in local parks and underneath the Coney Island boardwalk, with the theory being they would die off once the rats were gobbled up, said Councilman Domenic Recchia (D-Brooklyn).

Instead, the critters have been populating, spreading to Park Slope and Manhattan'

TOO HOT

When ever Lil Wayne and Drake get together they make a hit. In this song Lil Wayne starts his verse with "Ooh shit! Mother fucker, god damn!" You can't really fuck with that. I'm also really into when he goes "Ewwww! That's nasty." It's like he surprised him self with how gross he can be. I also like the "Hey Weezey you're going to jail, but we're gonna release this as a single in 6 months so we need to get some footage of you for the video." aspect of this.

WHAT A STEAL!

Look what's for sale on craigslist!

WANT 'EM

If you see these somewhere get them for me. I'll pay you back. An 11.5 please.

FUCK YOU!

Yo MTV! WHAT IS THE FUCKING DEAL?

This is down right irresponsible if you ask me.

CLASSIC

I wanted to start a classics section here, but I didn't know what to kick off with. After the West Indies Parade, I realized what I needed to do.

I WAS THERE

Last Sunday, I went to see a show at the Williamsburg water front. This is how it went:

3:00pm Dominique Young Unique plays for 60 people and is amazing.

3:30pm - 5:00pm During this time Tyler shows up and we're just really bored for a while. Then we leave, so Tyler gets a burger at Pops and I practice power slides on North 8th Steet and get really close to doing one right.

5:30pm Big Freedia Plays and BLOWS MY FUCKING MIND. Didn't know anything about this guy, but he's fucking amazing. A real entertainer. Dude has a microphone and two back up dancers(one of which is a guy who is almost as gay as him.)and just rapped about ASS for 20 minutes. It was the best thing I'd ever seen. Watch this glorified commericial for him!



6:00pm More boring shit happens. Then Nikki shows up and Tyler trys to buy a beer. Oh what's that? You can't buy beer after 6? Really?

6:30pm Tim Harrington comes on stage for 5 minutes and was pretty entertaining.

6:45pm Dougie Fresh sucks. Can't lose my spot for Gucci though.

7:00pm GUCCI FUCKING MANE!!! HOLY FUCK IT'S HIM! IT'S REALLY FUCKING HIM!

7:05pm HOLY FUCK! HE'S PLAYING LEMONADE! THIS IS THE BEST!

7:15pm I realize I'd gone parasailing 2 days ago and am now watching Gucci Mane. My life is awesome.

7:25 Gucci plugs his album and leaves before his 6th song is even over. I guess you get what you pay for.

EXCUSE ME...

I've been playing guitar a bit more than usual the last couple of months, and was thinking about selling my mediocre practice amp, and buying another mediocre but slightly better practice amp. I could probably get $150 for the one I have now, and saw an amp that looked nice cheap amp. Figured it'd be $200. A tube amp, 5 watts, two 8 inch speakers. Look here it is...



Then after doing a google search I found out this thing costs $800!!!!

Keep in mind this thing is less than 2 feet tall and could never ever ever ever ever be used to play any type of show. Ever!

I tried to find a reason why someone would ever pay so much money for this fucking thing and the only reason I could find in the discription is that it's "hand wired" and "a small, easy-to-carry amp that sounds huge when recorded."

Who the fuck is falling for this?
