9035 Matches for eating shit in your Personal Network:

I just searched interests on Friendster* and got bored after my first search.

Still when my second search turned up 9035 people connected to me who were interested in "eating shit" I was quite giddy.

Like this guy, an alleged 19 year old from San Francisco.

Update! I am a moron, that link does not work for you outsiders and I'm not the picture posting kind of blog gal. Suffice to say the aforementioned dudes picture was of a small serious looking dog in a monkey costume.

*I only joined Friendster this month, so apologies if this discovery is old chapeau.

Every Monday in September at Chetty Red

I'll be starring as Veruka Salt in a hard rock musical based on Willy Wonka!

Dave Juskow will be singing all the other parts and has written orignal songs as well.

Update 9/3: I've heard then whole sheebang and it's fabulous. The new arrangements for old songs rock and their orignal songs are dreamy. It's about 45 minutes of solid music and good twist.

Free Basil!

Who:

Wouldn't want free basil?

What:

FREE GAWD DANG BASIL!

Where:

Manhattan's West Village

In front of the doorman building, across from the Laundromat, a stone's throw from a new salon called "Sparkle."

Charles street (between Waverly Pl. and Greenwich Aves.)

Around the corner from Waverly on the west side of the street


When:

24-7

Until the first frost or people pick it all, whichever comes first.


How:

Look to the plantings to the left of the door. There your will see yellow rose bushes, badly pruned scrubby bushes and then a few huge basil plants that are almost as big as bushes with glossy, healthy looking leaves.

The plants are not guarded or fenced and the doorman isn't outside. If you just take a few leaves they'll never miss it. Plus, these basil plants are rapidly approaching a flowering, which should be avoided. By pinching them back and snicking some for yourself, you will actually be doing them a favor.


Why:

The basil is part of a raised bed that is far out of reach of even the most talented Great Dane's pee range.

Can you say Brushetta?

It's free.
