Crazy Old Bay Ridge Man Now A Press Critic

I live in Bay Ridge and saw this crazy old man at the grocery store last night. He was screaming about Gov Spitzer, and the whole scandal. He went on to let everyone know that after, and only after he was divorced he had sex with several prostitues when he served in Korea. . .

I totally believe that that piece of sh*t Hysiak wrote those lies.

I hope I'm never famous for anything. I don't think I could handle the PR bills.

@saltwatertaffy:
Maybe the owner sics him on tenants who are late with their rent.

How in the world does this man still have a job? Are the papers paying the building owner to keep him around?

I think my landlord is the benign older brother of this guy. Dude is OLD, but always in the alley behind the building hosin' stuff down, sawin' planks of wood that he then stacks in the garage, or pulling out his 4-wheeler and letting it idle for awhile before putting it back. Instead of angry notes he leaves bags of apples on the door for us to help ourselves to.

Was fantastic that in his folo-up Lysiak exposed him for letting his dog Pretty Girls poop in the street.(Yes the dog is named pretty girls -- probably cause none talk to him). That Lysiak better watch his back lest he get something taped to it.

I live in Bay Ridge and happened across the building this weekend! It would be one thing if he posted the signs in the lobby, but he tapes them to the front door for all to see (which is, of course, how I noticed them). I think he really likes the attention.

@meerkat: I'm much more interested in knowing what this guy has to say about Spitzer.

"Fake Nick Denton believed to be snarky, old man according to ranting Prospect Park videographer. More at 11."

In related news, Gawker Media owner Nick Denton today announced the shuttering of all sites. This doesn't mean that the content will stop flowing from Crosby Street. Instead writers for the former websites will be posting signs in, on, and around the Soho storefront location.

Probably drools and spits (no pun intended), too. Maybe that's why all he seems to prefer written communication.

RICHARD MARTIN FOR GOVERNOR! I am starting a campaign to recall Spitzer and replace him with this guy. With any luck we'll send a message to all of those low-life umbrealla-thieving, non-trash sorting, call-girl hiring fatcats in Albany.

Let's typeset Paul Krugman's columns in the Crazy Bay Ridge Man's all caps loony-tunes font. Would make for far more entertaining reading.

This is all pretty trivial... I'm much more interested in his take on how the Spitzer story has been handled by the various daily papers.

Think of all the boys who died face down on the beaches of Europe and Asia so this asshole could gripe his way through the rest of his life. Remember him next time you're pinned down in your foxhole.

@Reluctant Financier (Team BAngieB): That's funny. I put up a sign in the office bathroom a while ago that read:

Dear Toilet Seat Pisser,

A holiday wish:

1) That you have a merry holiday and happy new year, and
2) That you start using the urinal, or
3) That you lift the toilet seat, or
4) That you wipe up after yourself, or best yet
5) JUST STOP PISSING ON THE FUCKING SEAT!

Happy Holidays

It totally worked too.

I put up signs in my building that said 'Pretty Please, don't leave your fucking trash in the elevator!'

I got a 2 sentence blip about it in our monthly co-op newsletter. Can I consider myself a Facilities Critic?
