Previous Day :: Next Day

elaine: somebody has tagged over these grafs now, very rude, i call it

in response to sixy trolls under a bridge

elaine: the clue is in the title, peter! i would be very surprised if they did anything less than a total razing and rebuild, this place is banjaxed

in response to demolition

bayonne kingz: the only bayonne motherfucker bridge is in St Esprit (France/Bayonne city)

in response to Dr. Sex Graffiti

Peter: wow, that montage is great! i love the little guy i nthe yellow vest, too. funny. are they renovating those places or something?

in response to demolition

Peter: good luck ever finding one of those locked up randomly around the city... that shit is usually either being ridden or safely protected indoors ;)

in response to NYC Trackbikes

Peter: sixy seeker: then why do you persist in looking for that sort of stuff on this site? you might have better luck elsewhere, you know, on a site thats a little more on-topic with that sort of thing than this one.

in response to sixy trolls under a bridge

BZZZP: i need to start carrying around some detonating cord to "liberate" an aero like that...

in response to NYC Trackbikes

sixy seeker: i wont to see sixy sixy like www.google.com.sa/search?biw=605 . . . =sixy%20man%20photo&meta=

Peter: check it... the ad campaign everyone is talking about: www.aquariusesjusto.com

in response to Don Justo\'s Self Built Cathedral

Peter: if i had a dollar for every time i had to listen to Columba Aspexit in my college music humanities coursework... oh man, its permanently stuck in my head after reading this.... hmm.

in response to Don Justo\'s Self Built Cathedral

Peter: navigating the waters of things left unsaid that should have been said is always treacherous, especially in hindsight... you hope that either you find (or create?) another opportunity to somehow communicate the unsaid, or that at least the next time such a situation comes about, you'll be motivated to speak...

in response to angel pasteups

elaine: hildegard von bingen, she's only happy when she's singin

in response to Don Justo\'s Self Built Cathedral

vz: sigh.. if only those were the only things left unsaid but on a brighter note, annti-starbbucks operattions prediicted to riise 2000% in the philladelphiia aarea over the nexxt severral weeeks

in response to angel pasteups

Anusha: Hi Lili No, have never heard of Hildegrad von Bingen. The only "fear" I have re. brother Justo his case, is that sooner or later, somebody shall try to make a lot of money out of this man's work of Art and forget that his work is nothing else but...

in response to Don Justo\'s Self Built Cathedral

Peter: yeah, thats pretty stringent. sorta like disallowing long-haired men from entering the park: www.snopes.com/disney/parks/longhair.htm www.snopes.com/disney/disney.asp is a fascinating read, btw... especially the part that led me to www.europa.com/~cabelsa/flash... hehehehe...

in response to I Want To Eat Your Brain

Peter: the englishes move every day...

in response to Shadow English

jeeff: the weird thing about disney is that they promote all these 'liberal' values but within those they're absolutely rigid about social policy. like a politically correct big brother. the old contract for animators gave them a house and a car along with their job, but they had to...

in response to I Want To Eat Your Brain

jeeff: yeah, no doubt. the pig is kind of old, non? i think he's moved on to bigger & better things. i'd like to see more of his work.

in response to best of the bombers

jeeff: you would get extra points for surfing through the hole in the middle.

Peter: oh, cool. gotta love the old cruisers!

in response to NYC Trackbikes

Peter: also: dear sixy seeker... please explain "sixy" and exactly what it is you "wont to see"?

sixy seeker: i wont to see sixy not sixy as www.sixy.com but as this

in response to sixy trolls under a bridge

Jamie: There is some pretty cool stickering going on here though:

in response to The Extent of Graffiti

Jamie: Yeah, although i don't personally agree with tagging or writing onto old architecturally interesting buildings, though there are plenty of post-war concrete boxes around here.

in response to The Extent of Graffiti

Peter: ahh, that sucky trend where the crappiest graf is also the most prevalent. they need more stickerers and writers in horncastle. also: that no footway sign is pretty cool.

in response to The Extent of Graffiti

Peter: hot, but pretty. horncastle looks like a lovely place, yo.

in response to Hooray 4 Summer

Peter: i agree re: the gang culture. one thing to remember is that many of the opinions stated in this thread are from random people who surfed in via google, and simply left their argumentative two-cents without really being aware of the points being made in the entry.

in response to Humboldt Park

Peter: jamie: heh, i actually said that in my last comment, then deleted that part before posting it, you know, so as to preserve the naivete :)

in response to Commuters, WTC Station

Fredrik-Sweden: Haha, I guess there are certain points of views that must be strightened out, right!? Anyway, even over here in Sweden we have problems when it comes to gang rivalty (do you spell it like that?) and I´m so tired about people blaming it on some kind of cultural behaviour...

in response to Humboldt Park

jen (jsunshine): I had the extreme pleasure of not only meeting the man behind the pig last night, but I watched him create a 4x10ft mural! This man is so talented, the pigs are just the tip of the iceburg.

in response to best of the bombers

Jamie: though could easily be misconstrued as stalking on your part

in response to Commuters, WTC Station

elaine: which would go in the animation nicely - i bet that would make it kind of poingnant

in response to Commuters, WTC Station

Peter: shadow geeks!

in response to Commuters, WTC Station

Jamie: im a geek - youre a geek - lets all geek together

in response to Shadow English

Peter: yeah, its fun snapping one every day on teh way to work. its become a little morning rituaql now, akin to reading my book on the train or getting coffee on the way into work.

in response to Commuters, WTC Station

Jamie: but... what about citynoise: the book?

in response to citynoise: the book

Peter: heh, you would know, geek! ;)

Peter: yay! hahahaha this cracked me up. man, those places sure look run down. are thos ethe flats in brighton?

in response to Defenestration of Bedclothes

Peter: heh, good point...

in response to Humboldt Park

Peter: man, id surf that. awesome!

in response to "London Bridge"

Peter: weird fact: because of disney's huge profits at disney world, the whole state of florida doesnt have any sales tax. thats alot of money changing hands and filtering into the state's economy. also: disney is considered at the forefront of liberal employee benefits, giving the same benefits to same-sex partners of...

in response to inner-casino photos

Peter: yeah the wondering about the people is the fun part. and seeing them all look so tired, coming through the WTC station after a hard day's work, puts an interesting setting on their lives.

elaine: i'd have to know you a lot better before i'd let you drink my bathwater!

in response to A Walk & A Visit

Fredrik-Sweden: I´m from Sweden, i.e Scandinavia. When I read this I might be missing something, but all you guys claiming that Humboldt park is great and that you´re proud PR/gangstas etc, read this first: Humboldt belongs to sweden and germany, so shut the fuck up and pay attention to the REAL...

in response to Humboldt Park

elaine : poverty of space and time v poverty of opportunity, the city/rural divide lives on everywhere, it seems. i often wish i could afford to live somewhere outside london, but you have to have capitial to survive as well as do what you want to do on a daily basis. the...

in response to inner-casino photos

kc: hey! thank you so much. I like it out there...

in response to Plum Beach II

elaine: this simulacrum has a particularly munchkin kind of flavour. it is wild how the architecture has a cartoon fantasy village where everyone has jobs like baker and oversize candy seller, while the ceiling looks like the whole fantasy is breaking down rapidly and outside is a bladerunner style dystopia -...

in response to inner-casino photos

jeeff: *wink*

in response to still life with window bars and discarded bedframe

Anonymous (cpe-024-211-184-011.nc.res.rr.com): bodega is spanish....a lot of grocers in nyc are latin american

jeeff: nice photos. i like the streetcars. however, when i first moved here i tried to catch the college streetcar from an island stop and it just went right past. i was convinced that i didn't understand the "trick" of flagging a streetcar, so i avoided them for about...

in response to Queen Streetcar & Sudden Exercise
