We wonder if this guy has a 'Minor League Guy' baseball card. Nice job giving it the old middle school try Cardinals.

Co-op nastiness in Park Slope, one resident calls neighbors "Skanky Italians"

And the Jersey Shore wasn't even on teevee at the time Hey-o!

Now with a headline including the words "skanky Italians" we know you wanna know what's going on here. We'll tell you a little and let you go read the rest. But know this, we're dealing with the quality of person who flips you off to your front door thinking nobody's home only to have it caught on camera and then allegedly calling the family they are feuding with's children (children!) "mongorillas" as they are mixed-race kids. A read of the article really helps reinforce the reputation young 'professional' Brooklynites hating anyone who isn't them.

Yes yes, it'll get your blood boiling on a hot June Sunday, follow the link and get your outrage on.

What sad news. Jean Stapleton, Edith Bunker of All in the Family fame, passed away at age 90 on Friday. Of course she was more than Edith Bunker and had a wonderful and full acting career but when you create a character who is one of the 20 best in teevee history, that's just how you'll be remembered. The late Jean Stapleton as Edith Bunker and the famed "Cling Peaches" scene.

New York City, in living color

Via Gothamist, how about these amazingly clear colorful moving picture images from NYC circa 1939? Pretty cool stuff. If you look at some sports video shown on ESPN from three weeks ago it looks older than this. Great video, everything looks jake.

A guy complains of a headache. Another guy says "Do what I do. I put my head on my wife's bosom, and the headache goes away." The next day, the man says, "Did you do what I told you to?" "Yes, I sure did. By the way, you have a nice house!"

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE DOORS!

We sure were sorry to hear of the passing of Doors keyboardist and really good guy Ray Manzarek a few days back. A very talented keyboard player who if you ever heard them on radio or read them in books had some excellent anecdotes on the band and Jim Morrison. We'll go with the classic 'Light My Fire' not because it's the best Doors song but Ray really lets fly. Rest Well Mr. Manzarek.
