e@LennyShimizu:
Actually, the only substantial difference between Tao Lin and Kenneth Eng is that (so far) Dennis Cooper only has naked photos of the former.

To those bringing in furniture off the streets: Can I come over to your house and write "Welcome to the wonderful world of bedbugs" in lipstick on your bathroom mirror?

OK, I think it's safe to say that the NYSC on 44th and 5th has the most psychotic gays.

Crunch Lafayette is so gay that the Health Dept. closed the women's sauna. Other gay points: dudes working out in flipflops and jeans. (And I swear I've seen Dale Peck there, though that's more correlation than causation.)

How long before Tom Cruise's legal team brings down the swift and brutal C&D; Hammer on this post?

What's wrong with being sexy?

Actually, he wasn't arrested on the 11th. He was arrested on the 9th, conveniently one day before NYU graduation.

@Joe_Welcome:
Billy Stopless was the name adopted by the former Billy's Topless, a strip/peep show joint in Chelsea, after they weren't allowed to feature topless girls anymore. Now it's a bagel joint.

The More You Know!

For about the first three paragraphs, I thought this was yesterday's Modern Love column. Or, like, maybe something from Honcho.

@the cajun boy: Yeah. If you've read any Ford, you'll understand what I mean.

Richard Ford has never read a literary blog because he lives in a special pre-internet time warp where negroes still have separate water fountains.

Hey, you neglected to mention the part about the dragons and the triumvirate. And the part about him being a furry.

Also, living with mother as adult = total serial killer.

One probable reason why "there were miraculously no noise complaints" could be because it's Little Fucking Italy, and they have other means of dealing with unruly interlopers. Enjoy the view from the drainage ditch on the Belt Parkway, buddy.

Healthy balance of capitalism and "a socialism" = $15 Cuba Libres.

He intended it to demonstrate that most of us have depersonalized our relationship to food...

Wrong. I have a depersonalized relationship with my VERMIN. I'm okay with that.

(At his next dinner party he's serving vagrant.)

Oh, the delicious irony of a shithead--excuse me, marketing guru--like Chris Locke creating a website to slag a woman....when was the last time he was a blip on any woman's radar? I'm guessing it was around the time they sewed up his mother's episiotomy.

So hey, do you guys have any more female author boobie photos? It's getting dull around here.

LOL BOOBIEZ FAP FAP FAP.

What the fuck is this, Fark?

If you can afford to live in Chelsea, on that block in particular, you're probably too old to be asking your friends to help you move.

@yourfriendandneighbor: Yeah, no kidding. Will he date Penelope Cruz next?

Jaysus, he looks like a pook in that Page Six photo, no?

It's one of those things where you can't believe your job is to sit and drink tea in Green Point and discuss Kim Gordon and the 90s, and her incredible importance.

I had that same job once! It was called "undergrad."
