Here comes Peter Rotten tail, fighting in the mall food court

Admission, Johnny got Peter Rotten Tail from one of the many great comments on the original story on this mess. A parent who witnessed his 1 year old daughter slip from her chair either on the easter bunny or next to him causing the father, Juan Jimenez-Gerrero, to verbally then physically attack the easter bunny, Kassim Charles. All the bad press clearly made it's way to the mayor's office as both are being charged with aggravated assault and disorderly conduct. Doesn't sound like plea deals are on the way either. Both men have been remanded because the city didn't want to wake up to Jersey City as the viral laughingstock it was.

No word on if the Easter bunny was hopped up on anything other than goodwill and chocolate...

Newark Bears Stadium is soon to be condos

Yes fans of really off the radar baseball, the Newark Bears Stadium, home to no team now for three years has been purchased by a New York developer and will be torn down. Check out the article for more on the condos set to be built there but you know the usual stuff:
*High end
*Affordable
*Mixed use
*First floor retail
*Near everything

Too bad the last owners were not more business-inclined and a whole lot less grating and perhaps something baseball could have come of all of this. Ah well, Johnny still has his Newark Bears hat and saw around 5-10 games there a season. Memories.

The new Game of Life board has a few new landing spots that kinda help update the game. Here's one:

Rutgers hoops has their new man

Rutgers has chosen Steve Pikiell as their new head coach. Pikiell has roots in the famed UConn program, serving as an assistant to Jim Calhoun after playing point guard for the Huskies. Pikiell most recently took Stony Brook to their first NCAA Tournament appearance in school history and were rewarded with Kentucky. So after one game Pikiell was free to tell Rutgers yes. Johnny thinks this is a smart hire. Pikiell will come in already knowing how to do more with less at a small school like Stony Brook and he has a history as head man of turning programs around. Can he recruit and lift RU up in the B1G standings?

That's why they play the games.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with ELTON JOHN!

Johnny was about ten or eleven when he started to take Elton John and Bernie Taupin's words to heart, probably irreparably harming a free society in which Johnny can say what he wants with no repercussions. Know why?

"I can bitch I can bitch

Cuz I'm better than you

It's the way that I move

The things that I do

Whooooaaaa"

Dangerous thoughtt for a pre-teen. Elton John and 'The Bitch is Back'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with MIDNIGHT OIL!

How nice of Midnight Oil to come all the way from Australia to play one song and go home.....Cause we're not paying for a room. We're not. Midnight Oil and 'Blue Sky Mine'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with PATTY GRIFFIN!

Johnny has seen the great Patty Griffin as many times as he's seen anybody. She recently went through the area but nowhere close enough for Johnny to make the show. How about a little tent revival music tonight that is actually going to reach into your soul and get your feet moving before you skedaddle out into this good evening.

Tonight we'll wind up St. Patrick's Day 2016 a little differently than we normally do. Johnny's gonna drop a long music clip of some of the best Irish and Celtic music around. It runs a while so if you have something to do or just want something cool and topical on while you relax, here you go.
