That the great statistician Nate Silver helped identify "The Most Livable Neighborhoods In NYC" doesn't matter, since who the fuck is he to "rank" where we live?
via jasmined via inothernews:
We don’t need elitist snobs with another marketing tool to tell us why Park Slope, Brooklyn - where rich people spend time fighting about where to park their fucking baby strollers - is any better than Harlem, Parkchester or anywhere else in New York City, for fuck’s sake.
Keep on hatin’ while I chill in my beautiful ‘Slope brownstone a block from Prospect Park. </smugsuperiority>

Have you ever heard someone say, “My neighbors are so goddamn loud, it sounds like there’s a motherfucking marching band outside?”
So today, I keep turning up the TV (srs video game marathon, thankyouverymuch) because this weird banging outside keeps getting louder and louder. Eventually, I break down and walk over to the window.
FFUUUUUUUUUUUU

@ the Prospect Park Impromptu Snowball Fight, kind of organized by FIPS, kind of organized by Hey You standing there minding your own business trying to enjoy the park in this inclement weather…. Incooooming!
This is me pelting a stranger in the face with cascades of snow because I absolutely suck at making/throwing/hitting-things-with snowballs. Ah, I <3 Brooklyn. Thanks to ataferner for helping take photos.
UPDATE: Fucked in Park Slope posted some of my photos from the snowball fight, whee!

Dog mugged for coat during snowstorm, New York woman says
A Brooklyn woman says a mugger stole a doggie coat right off the back of her mild-mannered terrier.
Donna McPherson says she tied up Lexie, her 10-year-old Westie, outside a Park Slope supermarket “for two minutes” while she bought milk.
She heard a “funny bark.” When McPherson went outside, she found the little white dog shivering. His green wool coat, with leather trim and belt, were nowhere in sight.
McPherson said the dog coat was worth $25. She said that, fortunately, Lexie wasn’t wearing his pricier Burberry.

I'd recommend she not visit the playground again any time soon
This little gem of a post turned up on ParkSlopeParents a few days ago.
Why I don’t think I belong here in Park Slope…
I think fur is fabulous (please don’t yell at me this isn’t about PETA). And I believe that being fabulous is FUN.
…reason number two I don’t belong here is that it’s 25 degrees. Umm, that’s just not okay for me. Which is why I thought that putting on my mother’s J. Mendel Mink Coat with my over the knee Prada boots was SO necessary for my walk. … I miss seeing other people all dolled up, contemplating what the new “it” bag is, and seeing the most incredible new Loubitons on the girl across the street. … It’s too cold to wear the newest spring collection pieces before spring (because they are coming out NOW!). It’s too cold to wear my new Stella McCartney Navy bubble rain coat, or my sexy new Alexander Wang cowl neck tank.
So, like the rest of the group, I’ll be wearing my JCrew turtleneck sweater, jeans and uggs. I’ll sit at the playground with all the other kids who are cold and have running noses. And I’ll stand there while the moms with the hipster combat boots, and knit caps don’t talk to me. … But I’ll know that I’m still fun and fabulous…I’ll be wearing the inappropriate fur.
So my question Ladies is…is there no fabulous left in Park Slope?”
