A reminder about breath-holding contests



EVG contributor Steven spotted this new sign outside the pool in Tompkins Square Park.

Pools opened citywide today.

Remember, breath. And wear a swimsuit.

Thanks for the safety tip, NYC Health!

Sounds more like instructions than a warning.

I love it in movies where people suck in breath then miraculously hold it for minutes. Total Hollywood fantasy bullshit.

I'm not holding my breath about Empire Biscuits ever reopening

The "Empire-Out-of-Bus(cuit)iness" plate now says simply, "Peelin' Potatoes", and all references to seeing us in March have vanished. But the lights are still burning, still wasting electricity.

The problem is, if you want a really good time, you can't exert any energy and sorta have to lie still. Which can look alarming.

Tea party anyone?

Does this site hand out awards for comedy? If so, Giovanni gets it hands down for that quip. Kudos.
