My girlfriend just sent me a link to this article. It starts:

According to sources, local boyfriend Martin Daniels was compelled to display secondhand outrage Monday as his girlfriend, Linzi Rosario, vented about a recent incident in which a coworker behaved inconsiderately toward her. “Ugh, I can’t believe she did that,” Daniels reportedly forced himself to say, employing a tone of disgust he hoped would convince Rosario he understood why she was upset.

This doesn’t bode well. First she saw that episode of South Park where Jimmy learns how to talk with girls, and now this. She’s pretty much figured out where most of my conversational skills come from.

Is clubbing her over the head and making off with a woop-woop-woop an option?

The open thread is now open.

    Don’t be ridiculous. She doesn’t read this rag.

    Not an option, friend. Prepare to feign outrage at yourself for this one.

    Sinkholes Like the one that swallowed up the man in Florida. Coney Island is porous, all of Sheepshead Bay is also.
    We have plenty of underground streams that combined with the constant drenching will eventually be a large problem.
    This insurance for sewer lines has skeletons I’m sure.
    If the city is finally raising the sewer lines (as I mentioned years ago needed to be done) of course it will put a burden on the existing pipelines to the house.

      Why would the city be raising the sewer lines?

        Because they have shifted, I did not forget all the mini sinkholes. on E16th and E 26th to name two blocks that are prone to multiple repairs.
        Another reason would be so they don’t back up!
        I wonder how level to the ocean they actually are if high tide has become such a problem.
        Stay safe bagels….
