French/Harlem Add Themselves To List Of People Who Hate Bear Enough To Organize

Posted by Bess Levin, Apr 11, 2008, 1:54pm

Just saw Bear Stearns protesters at the corner of 96th and 3rd, wearing shirts that say "freeze foreclosures, not people," from something called "Larouche TAC." Guy in a beret seems to be leading things.

Guy in a beret is usually is.

But it's pronounced "gheee"

Oh that headline is truly superb. I may have to tack this one up on the wall of the men's room. Helps to grease the wheels it does.

Followers of Lyndon LaRouche is my guess.

Odds Hillary moves to LaRouche ticket in 2012? Someone make a market.

A long time observer of the Larouchies once told me - don't try to understand them, it'll just make your brain hurt.

Immelman 68-68. not bad at all

Posted by guest, Apr 11, 2008 3:32PM

that score is hours old buddy. try to keep up. i don't need your delayed quotes.

Posted by guest, Apr 11, 2008 3:37PM

people who live above 86th street simply dont matter to anyone.

Posted by guest, Apr 11, 2008 3:38PM

Not true. Carnegie Hill stretches between 5th and Lex from 86 through 96 -- arguably the most exclusive neighborhood in the city.

UBS is getting desperate for earnings now:

Come to think of it, maybe they should turn "the world's largest trading floor" into an extension of the mall. Selling bras to SAC traders has to be more profitable than whatever they do in that building. (I hear it already has parking, security, and a food court too.)

um you've got to be kidding 3:38. when's the last time you were at 96th and 3rd?

Posted by guest, Apr 11, 2008 3:52PM

@3.38--you're kidding right? well, maybe thats where the bear traders live. I dont know why anyone would want to live there unless they had to

Posted by guest, Apr 11, 2008 3:55PM

@3:38 HAHAHAHAH whew, good one, way to take us out on a strong note this week

Yes, I love to go to Kennedy Fried Chicken carnegie hill location at 96th and Lex

Posted by guest, Apr 11, 2008 4:27PM

3:38 -- BWAHAHAHA. That's hilarious. Even Fifth Avenue gets shitty north of 96th Street (like RIGHT on the northern corner). South of 96th is only decent between Madison and Fifth until you get to 86th Street.

Posted by guest, Apr 11, 2008 4:33PM

Do any of you people live in NY? Park Ave is nice up to 96th. Lex decent. The guy defined Carnegie Hill as 86 to 96, West of Lex. Third is east of Lex. So he's right in saying its arguably one of the most exclusive nabes. I would qualify that by saying that its very family oriented. Big apartments, private schools close by. And very waspy, or at least ethnics that dress like wasps. Maybe you were all just disoriented the last time you went to a party at Normandy or Highgate and thought you were further west than you actually were.

Posted by guest, Apr 11, 2008 4:37PM

@4:33 he said it was "THE MOST exclusive neighborhood in the city" which it most definitely is not. 60's/70/s lex to 5th is the most exclusive neighborhood in the city. lex starts getting dodgy at 86th. not saying it's spanish harlem but there are many more desirable neighborhoods (uws, murray hill (not talking about residents), etc)

Posted by guest, Apr 11, 2008 4:39PM

Yeah, very exclusive when you get one block east and you are in the el bario. He needs to shrink that area by about 50% and then you've got the exclusive area.

Posted by guest, Apr 11, 2008 4:39PM

I lived at Park/79th....zero babes

all strollers/walkers

Posted by guest, Apr 11, 2008 4:45PM

@4:37 I see your point. You lost me though with UWS being desirable. I'm an east side guy and could never understand the charm of that side of town. It strikes me as ugly and dirty plus filled with a bad combo of faux artsy people, broken down old people who probably live in rent controlled apartments and spend their days eating in shitty diners on Bwy cause they have galley kitchens, and a big tribe of the stroller set.

Posted by guest, Apr 11, 2008 4:49PM

@4:45..such stereotypical thinking from what i'm guessing is a frat boy. ever heard of central park west? also one of the most expensive areas to live? and a ton of the uws is more expensive to live in than the ues, arguably the cheapest neighborhood, moving north, in manhattan.

Posted by guest, Apr 11, 2008 4:50PM

@4:39 Yeah?? A lot of those stroller/walker ladies are hot. Rich husbands, time for gym, grooming, shopping. I hear this from a friend who loves MILFs. He was out of work once and in heaven from hanging out in the various starbucks up there.

Posted by guest, Apr 11, 2008 4:52PM

Hmm, okay how are we deciding this? Whats more expensive, 5th Ave or CPW?

Posted by guest, Apr 11, 2008 4:56PM

@4:45 Not a frat boy and don't live in the cheezy white brick east of third ave part of the UES. Central Park West and RSD are the exceptions, but the remaining mess is all around those places. I'll agree to disagree. I just don't find your side of town a nice place to be.

Posted by Anal_yst, Apr 11, 2008 5:33PM

Can't wait for those Larouch clowns to start loitering by the Exchange come summer, they're fun to pester, but as a commentor above pointed out, their stupidity is agrrivating, at best

Posted by guest, Apr 11, 2008 5:52PM

I agree Lex starts getting dodgy at 86th.
Third Avenue seems kind of depressing all up and down the East Side.

I had to laugh @4:39pm talking about "the el bario." "The" and "el" mean the same thing. Barrio is spelled with two r's.

Anal_yst's comments are usually good reading, but talking about other people's "aggrivating stupidity" while misspelling "aggravating" was unintentionally funny.

d'oh!

4:50. "Walker Ladies are hot"


Yes a womwn who uses a walker is hot...stay in your cesspool

Posted by guest, Apr 14, 2008 1:27PM

Sounds like you need a lesson on what "walker" means. In this case, its that thing you put a baby in. So the woman in question is a late 20s / early 30s stay at home mom, the east 70s subset of which means she's probably hot. Otherwise why would her rich husband keep her around.

An alternative definition is a guy that escorts rich old ladies around town ("walks" them). Provides a little gentlemanly companionship at the opera or various charity events. These walkers tend to be gay, in order to avoid the appearance that the lady in question is doing it for the sex rather than pure companionship. And besides, gay guys are the best conversationalists at a charity or cultural event. They lag of course when the venue is MSG, or Yankee or Shea stadiums, where I assure you none of this type of thing applies.

What most definately is NOT meant here is the thing used by those that have trouble walking. Which is what you were thinking. That would really be kinky. GAnalYst
