Absurd Just-Before-Kickoff Birds-Giants Statistic Life, NYC, Philly, Sporting | Comments
The Similarities Between Kevin Curtis and James Thrash are Almost Astounding Pretty crazy shit: "Four of the last eight games between New York and Philadelphia [have been] decided on the final play..." [via Lisa Olson's FanHouse & The700Level] P.S. This game is a pretty big deal here in NYC...I've gotten by FAR the most flak I've ever gotten for wearing a Birds jersey since I've been living here. Douchebags.

Project Bueller Fancy Tickling, Funny, NYC | Comments
Reluctantly taking a quick break from the Phillies Seriesgasm (as Deadspin so eloquently puts it), I just remembered something Halloween-related that I forgot to post about a while ago: Project Bueller. I haven't been in NYC for a while now, so I'm not sure whether this is the type of thing that is actually getting press or just some people talking on the internet, but, either way, it's an awesome idea, and it sure as hell looks great on paper. Here is the "Project Bueller" team's letter to Matthew Broderick, inviting him to take part in the event: Dear Matthew Broderick, In ...

NYC Says Fuck Cars Hot Shit, Life, NYC, Pictures | Comments
Apparently I'm completely out of the loop as far as New York City news goes, but I guess taking two bar exams and the MPRE in a week's time can do that even to someone who runs a blog that never misses a single interesting happenstance in the world. Self-pity aside, and ear firmly re-planted to the streets, it seems that over the course of the next month NYC will unveil two projects worthy of not only a Blogbdon mention but, as someone who seemingly manages to walk around the city with a bookbag on his back for hours ...

Cigarette pack tax hike of $1.25 takes effect in New York City New Yorkers started paying the highest cigarette taxes in the nation Tuesday with the latest $1.25 spike per pack that officials expect to bring in $265 million a year. The average pack in New York City, which also taxes cigarettes, is now around $8.50. Smokers will be paying $2.75 per pack in state taxes, a jump from the previous tax of $1.50. Before the new tax, the average price of a pack of cigarettes was $5.82 statewide, and about $8 a pack in New York City, which levies its own ...

Reviews in for Kanye’s Glow in the Dark Tour : Probably Better than Woodstock Fancy Tickling, Hip-Hop, Hot Shit, NYC | Comments
Reviews of Kanye's "Glow in the Dark Tour" have trickled out in the two weeks since it kicked off, and they have, almost unanimously, been nothing short of phenomenal (I say "almost" because Sacramentoans were upset over a little snafu on Kanye's part...crybabies). Here are some snippets from the reviews: The L.A. Times review: A show that carries [Kanye's] braggadocio into the realm of myth itself, Glow in the Dark raises the bar for arena tours as no show has since U2's 1992 Zoo TV breakthrough. It's that innovative and galvanizing. Entertainment Weekly review: Eschewing hip-hop's buddy system, West is his stage's ...

Why Smoking Is Bad Learning, Life, NYC, Videos | Comments
On a Friday evening in October of 1999, Nicholas White was working late on his job at the New York City office of Business Week when he decided to take a smoke break. So, around 11PM he rode the elevator down from the 43rd floor of the McGraw-Hill Building in Rockefeller Center. A few minutes later he took the elevator on his way back up to his office, but he never made it up there; instead, the elevator malfunctioned, and White remained trapped in the elevator alone for the next 41 hours, until he was finally rescued on Sunday afternoon. While ...

Magic Vaginas Funny, Learning, Life, NYC, Pictures | Comments
Yea, a great post title, I know. Given the week-long hiatus for Blogbdon, I figured I would come back with a bang for my first post back. But then I decided to post about "magic vaginas," so maybe I'll come back with a bang tomorrow or something. Anyway, on to the magic vagines. So, it seems that during his time in office former-governor Eliot Spitzer went a little ho-crazy (a relatively P.C. way of putting it, considering he has been called everything from a "whoremonger" and a "whorelover" to "the disgraced horndog" at times in the wild coverage of ...

Pee and Poo Funny, Learning, Life, NYC | Comments
This post was intended to celebrate this incredible country and the incredible holiday created on today's date: Steak and BJ Day. But, in the process of celebrating writing about today's joyous holiday (created as a response to the unfairly female-dominated Valentine's Day and celebrated exactly one month later: on March 14th), I became aware of the unfortunate news that the Steak and BJ website is down, diminishing much, if not all, of the credibility of my piece. In fact, I can no longer confidently even say that it exists. So, today, rather than speaking of this new, ...
