@1 Unfortunately, I’m not the original.
And so it’s either really simple thing, but you’re kinda tweaked, and you get this joke, which I’m assuming 90% of you does, but you’re just coming off the rails, or b) you don’t and you’re just even more confused now. I’m trying to be the voice of reason, guiding you to light.
Anal_yst,
I’m going to stuff you full of Mexican food, stick a dog-whistle up your ass, and drop you off at the dog-pound where you will realize the true meaning of the word “dog-pound”. Dennis Kneale will offer to be godfather to your pups.

TO SAY TONIGHT HAD LEFT LITTLE ROOM FOR SATISFACTION WOULD BE QUITE A LARGE DISSERVICE TO THE PHILOSOPHICAL UNDERPINNINGS OF PLEASURE.
SO I’M ON TWITTER THIS AFTERNOON AND DISCOVER THAT ANAL_YST & 1-2 KNOCKOUT ARE PLANNING TO GET TOGETHER FOR A FEW COCKTAILS @ STONE STREET. I TRY TO MESSAGE THEM DIRECTLY, BUT THE FUCKING IT DEPT. (PARANOID ASSHOLES THEY ARE) DON’T ALLOW SUBMITTING TEXT VIA THE WEB. WHATEVER. I GET IT. REGARDLESS, I WANT TO MEET THEM FOR A DRINK, SO I CLEAR MY SCHEDULE FROM 8:30 ONWARD.
8:30 COMES. I SWITCH INTO MY STREET SHOES (WHITE ASICS, BLUE TRIM), AND TAKE THE ‘VATOR GATOR TO THE ROOF FOR LIFT OFF. UNBEKNOWNST TO ME, CHOPPER’S DOWN. SUPPOSEDLY, UPON FINISHING HIS LAUNDRY, LUKE BROKE THE GODDAMNED THING AFTER LODGING A FRESH PAIR OF SOCKS INTO THE ROTOR HUB. I’VE GOT MY SNEAKS ON, SO I SAY, “FUCK IT. I’LL HOOF IT.”
LET ME TELL YOU. WEST STREET…KINDA A BITCH. AND WHAT’S WITH THE VESEY BRIDGE? TOTAL PAIN EN LA ASS. PROBS TOOK 12 MINS. JUST CROSSING. AFTER BREAKING FOR A CHICKEN STREET STICK AND KNISH, I HIT WALL, AND TURN ON BROAD. I WALK PAST OL’ 85 AND STARE UP, THINKING ALL THE WHILE ABOUT THE GLORY THAT TOOK PLACE ATOP THAT ROOF. THE SECRETARIES, THE BRANDING, GOLD HOT DIPPING, ETC. A LITTLE NOSTALGIC. BUT I TRUCK ON. GET TO STONE, SLIP ON MY COSTUME BEARD AND METS HAT, AND SAUNTER UP TO THE BAR, REALLY SNEAKY LIKE. LEANING OVER, I ORDER A BECKS AND ASK THE BARTENDER IF SHE KNOWS ANAL_YST. WHAT A SPAZ. SHE TOTES FREAKS OUT AND THROWS WATER IN MY FACE, HANDS ME MY BEER, AND YANKS THE 10 CLAMS FROM MY CLENCHED FIST. SO NOW I’M WALKING AROUND WITH AN ITCHY FAUX BEARD AND WET SUBTLE-PINK ETON SHIRT, YELLING “ANAL_YST! KNOCKOUT!” NO AVAIL. SOME BROS START MOCKING MY KITON HAMMERTIME™ PANTS, AND TWO YOUNG LADIES ASK IF I’M FROM ZZTOP. AND I LIKE DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT. I GTFO, HAIL A CAB, AND TELL THE DRIVER, “TAKE ME ANYWHERE.” WHEN WE FINALLY GET TO LIL’ W. 12TH, I SWATTED HIM WITH MY NEWSPAPER AND SCREAMED, “THAT’S AN IDIOM YOU GREASY UKRANIAN!”
NEVER AGAIN. FUCK STONE, FUCK ANAL_YST, FUCK KNOCKOUT, AND FUCK THE INCESTUOUSNESS OF LOWER MANHATTAN.
LAURA, CHANGE THE FUCKING CHANNEL. YOU KNOW I LOVE MARRIAGE REF.

Rising star of “Gossip” blogs… underestimating you, but still, prettay prettay cool.
all-caps-LB ftw!
@6 BL’s inclusion the article was stupid, as she’s a bonafide star, not “rising” star. but how did it underestimate her? it said she’s a must read, and that J Dimon, Steve Cohen, Ken Griffin and Dan Loeb are among the readership.
@8 the fact that she was labeled a “rising star” was the point on how it underestimates her. I agree, she is a bona fide star, that was my point.
RJ’s still sporting that cute Martian/Sam Donaldson look. Best of luck, RJ, perhaps at CBS you can fulfill the promise of your youth.
If I get Pandito’s face tattooed on my ass, can I get free checking for life?
@5
I ended up in the West Village instead, 1-2 is not in NYC at the moment, but otherwise, love the outfit, holler at me next time bra
Anal_yst @12,
Any thoughts on the West Village dog run? Or Dennis Kneale?
