Bar Car Regulars May Need To Make Alternative Plans For Tall Boy Consumption Tonight

By Bess Levin

“All train traffic in and out of Grand Central Terminal has been suspended, after a fire broke out underneath the 138th Street Bridge, which is owned by Metro-North and which carries all four Metro-North tracks. Officials said they believed that a wooden pier beneath the bridge that serves as a bumper for ships caught fire about 11:38 a.m.” [City Room]

    I’m guessing somebody at the NYC DPW tried to weld wood again.

    Advising my secretary to drive from Greenwich with a sixer of Four Loko for tonight’s commute. I’ll see you vicious fucking liars on 95. I’ll be the guy with the yellow hummer that’s running on coal. Flash me so that I know it’s you.

    Dude, you’ll be sitting at exit1-2 CT/95 for hours. Might as well get out and walk.

    I think the fire took down some of the Dealbreaker servers. Hardly any posts today and I keep getting error messages when trying to load the site.

    “Hardly any posts today”…I wonder why that was…oh, right, you answered the question yourself (our motherfucking servers were down for about three hours. I’m not yelling at you. I’m yelling at them).

    Get another hamster wheel! It must be frustrating to work on building Dealbreaker when everyone you are surrounded by is a complete idiot and you don’t have the tools you need…I feel for you.

    Is “Blizzard” some sort of midwestern reference to bukkake?
