I just made it back w/ Thai food before the rain hit Kensington

That was insane.

Like I wouldn't have been surprised to see the four horsemen of the apocalypse come riding down clinton st. after that.

buju_stanton (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 12 October 2010 02:04 (fifteen years ago)

Once again Queens is spared.

dan selzer, Tuesday, 12 October 2010 03:02 (fifteen years ago)

Not quite sure what you mean. There is thunder and lightning but not so much precipitation, I guess.

yeah some crazy lightning! spared the hail maybe

iatee, Tuesday, 12 October 2010 03:06 (fifteen years ago)

omg

iatee, Tuesday, 12 October 2010 03:07 (fifteen years ago)

OK, that one was pretty scary. Giant flash of lightning and thundercrash a half second later.

iatee, Tuesday, 12 October 2010 03:10 (fifteen years ago)

Yeah we had maybe 5-10 minutes of visibility-cancelling, wtf hail/rain/wind storm earlier. It wasn't immediately before I posted - maybe more like 9-ish?

buju_stanton (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 12 October 2010 03:16 (fifteen years ago)

OK, starting to see stuff about the hail, looks pretty crazy.

my strange quest for maynesonge (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 12 October 2010 03:24 (fifteen years ago)

Hail was probably Milk Dud sized.

buju_stanton (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 12 October 2010 03:26 (fifteen years ago)

maybe larger

buju_stanton (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 12 October 2010 03:26 (fifteen years ago)

Looked like the size of small grapes in pictures I saw, which I guess is about a Milk Dud size.

wake me when it's "canned hams" (Letterman as weatherman)

kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 12 October 2010 08:06 (fifteen years ago)

they got spikes

mookieproof, Tuesday, 12 October 2010 15:41 (fifteen years ago)

Why does all of downtown brooklyn smell like burning?

buju_stanton (Hurting 2), Sunday, 17 October 2010 07:26 (fifteen years ago)

somebody on facebook just said all of Williamsburg smelled like fire and that they saw fire truck and smoke.

Yeah that must be it.

buju_stanton (Hurting 2), Sunday, 17 October 2010 14:19 (fifteen years ago)

remember when everything used to smell like syrup

ice cr?m, Monday, 18 October 2010 12:33 (fifteen years ago)

now it's just me.

kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Monday, 18 October 2010 14:04 (fifteen years ago)

So this Barneys Co-op thing. Weird. Are there actually enough people in this neighborhood who will pay these prices for clothing? It's not the densest area, although I guess all those new Ft. Greene/Downtown highrises are changing that.

Man, does any place in the neighborhood not serve Stumptown Coffee now? And is there anything bad about that?

hey boys, suppers on me, our video just went bacterial (Hurting 2), Thursday, 6 January 2011 21:01 (fifteen years ago)

so . . . has your trash been picked up lately?

mookieproof, Thursday, 6 January 2011 21:03 (fifteen years ago)

I actually haven't noticed tbh. I think so. But I live in a student building on a toney brooklyn heights block, so one or the other of those facts probably accounts for it.

hey boys, suppers on me, our video just went bacterial (Hurting 2), Thursday, 6 January 2011 21:05 (fifteen years ago)

kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 6 January 2011 21:08 (fifteen years ago)

mizzell, Thursday, 6 January 2011 21:08 (fifteen years ago)

same here

dmr, Thursday, 6 January 2011 21:12 (fifteen years ago)

I take it back, they didn't pick up on our street yet. our super must have hidden everything downstairs. in front of other buildings the trash mounds were getting a fresh dusting of powder this morning. perfect for a rat ski vacation.

dmr, Friday, 7 January 2011 17:01 (fifteen years ago)

after they picked up tons more trash came out that had been accumulating in buildings

ice cr?m, Friday, 7 January 2011 17:58 (fifteen years ago)

ice cr?m, Friday, 7 January 2011 17:58 (fifteen years ago)
