If you want to read more about Toure, a his wikipedia entry catalogues both his sense of entitlement and his "career."

Excerpt: "He has often evoked the participatory journalism of George Plimpton or Tom Wolfe, while, for example, playing high-stakes poker with Jay-Z, two-on-two basketball with Prince, one-on-one basketball with Wynton Marsalis, tennis with Jennifer Capriati, or writing illegal graffiti with known graffiti artists."

So... what's the over/under on Toure participating in the journalismism of his own bio?

The only English people I know in New York are those who live in the festively decorated SubZero boxes beneath the George Washington Bridge.

They all claim to be related to the Mitford sisters. But I think that's an outrageous lie.

I think it was Spike Lee, oddly enough, who in the mid-80s first perceived Ft. Greene's gentrification potential.

As soon as 40 Acres & a Mule was on the scene, the advent of bruschetta was inevitable.

"...The Times described two semi-respectable lap-dance ladies as whores..."

The Times probably meant that in the everyday sense that all sexually active women are whores.

]]> <![CDATA[This is Not a Crack House]]> Oh my fucking God this is what New York has become isn't it?
Home of the pissy wimpy complainers.I can remember when Fort Greene was all BLACK,not white middle class shits,and we're talking the 1990s here folks not the olden days!
Now I call Fort Greene Knightsbridge on Fulton because of all the posh English people who have moved in with Range Rovers and "nice" French bistros.
Please pass the vomit bag.

]]> <![CDATA[This is Not a Crack House]]> Ian, you going to do anything with the Editor's Note published today? The Times described a two semi-respectable lap-dance ladies as whores, but the ladies now insist they are not whores. Apparently the reporter never asked the ladies if they are, in fact, whores.

If you look at the third floor of the townhouse, middle window, you will see Esmeralda Driggs Johnston IV looking out the window wondering if "that nice man is taking photos for Architectural Digest".

What happened to tipping the narc squad in secret instead of having to glorify yourself over it? Now he looks like a jerk, the neighbors hate him, and the druggies know who he is and where he lives. Not the brightest bulb in the pack, is he?
