For starters, thank you to Thrillist for including @evgrieve in the listicle "42 NYC Twitter Accounts You Need to Follow NOW."
Per Thrillist: "No East Village neighborhood news is too small to report for the EV Grieve."
Hmmmk.
Meanwhile, might be late on this … Crazy Eddie spotted this yesterday on Avenue A near East 13th Street… dunno if someone has already claimed it…
That's OK. So do I.
ReplyDeleteOk people - Leaky Iron Owner has shown us how it's done:
ReplyDeleteWhen you put things on the sidewalk please tape a note to it that tells the rest of us if it works. We've all seen so many fans, vacuum cleaners, microwaves, amps, etc. that nobody's grabbed because we're all thinking - it's gotta be broken...!
The bros are smashing less and less curbside things nowadays - so your stuff has a great chance at a second life if you'll just communicate via postit note :)
Wait a damn minute! Does that say "FREE IRONY"? Sign me up.
ReplyDeleteFree Irony: It Works, But It Leaks, Therefore It's Broken
ReplyDeleteThat irony belonged to Allen Ginsberg.
ReplyDeleteIf you take a step back and look at it objective, the rhetoric of today is mortifying. FOLLOW US, NOW. LIKE US. In grammar terms this is the imperative case. No one's asking to be "followed" or "liked". Not even requesting. Think about it. On a daily, hourly basis, humans are now bombarded with these ORDERS to "follow" and "like". I don't know about you but I certainly don't like this. It's brutally totalitarian. Now I'm not an idiot, I know that "follow" and "like" are specific names for software-based toggles on Facebook, but I just don't like how those formerly plain words have now been co-opted by the fucking Borg.
ReplyDeleteIf a twitter tweet is actually newsworthy it'll make it to the news or else a site like EVG. I don't need to follow jacksquat. I'll let other people wade through those oceans of bullshit.
ReplyDeleteI will follow them, follow them wherever they may go
ReplyDeleteThere isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep me away
Away from my.....like!
Bot above comments are correct.....what IS it about all this childish like/follow bullshit?
....MADLY off in ALL directions is MUCH more FUN.....make your own way kiddies!
(And trow 'dat iron in 'da fuckin' gahbage!)
> Does that say "FREE IRONY"?
ReplyDeleteno - it sez 'FREE IROM'. cantcha read or whut?
I-)
Hey, you, yes you, follow me. I don't know where I'm going either, but . . .wtf . . . if you don't like it, lick it! (geez I hope I'm not censored for being anti-social!)
ReplyDeleteAnd it is IRON not IRONY. Are you unfamiliar with cursive handwriting? And AG would never use an iron let alone irony. MHRIP.
ReplyDeleteA post about an iron may be small, but it's still pressing news. #rimshot
ReplyDeleteIt's sort of like winning a Grammy.
ReplyDeleteIs that Lady Gaga?!
ReplyDelete@ anon 10:59. If you look at it objectiveLY, you're totally wrong. "Please don't urinate in my breakfast" uses the imperative, but it's a polite request.
ReplyDeleteFurthermore, there's no such thing as the "imperative case." It's the "imperative mood." Those grammatical terms actually do mean something and if you don't know what they mean, you shouldn't use them.
Do you mean Granny Award? I'd say having an iron is more like winning a Granny, wouldn't you agree?
ReplyDeleteYou guys do I need to change the headline to Free Irony That Leaks?
ReplyDeleteHey Grieve, that one's good, nd maybe add Pinheads idea: Pressing News: Free Irony That Leaks
ReplyDeleteFree Irony Leaks, Blows off Steam
