COOKED SUSHI?

February 4th, 2008

I found this item of interest at weirdlongbeardpress.com, for those of you with a taste for the fiery and ironic, and have copy/pasted it here for your potential reading enjoyment. Even though the story is a year old (Feb. 7, 2007), NYC’s weird and unusual footnotes are eternal: SUSHI COOKED IN BROOKLYN BLAZE”Sushi Yama in [...]

        Snakes and Lattes on Sunday evening, papered up in advance of its first day of business, which is today. Ben Castanie's new Koreatown café, at 600 Bloor Street West, just east of Palmerston Avenue, will emphatically not have free Wi-Fi. In fact, laptops and their attendant air of isolation are completely counter to what Castanie is trying to do. "I […]

        Here’s a Venn diagram of the US population, the world Muslim population, the overlap, and al-Qaeda. The al-Qaeda dot had to be sized up tenfold in order to be visible. If Islam were really a blood-soaked religion and most Muslims really backed al-Qaeda, wouldn’t they have taken us out already? Found at Osborne Ink. […]

        Things that are made from organic material age and decay, especially when they stop being alive. A piece of home-baked bread, say, left on your kitchen counter, will get moldy relatively fast. Lord knows what some ground beef would smell like after a week. But the artist Sally Davies has been photographing one McDonald's hamburger and fries every day fo […]

        Seeing something like this is kind of unreal to me… I feel like I’m dreaming! This is some of the oldest color motion picture footage, and it’s completely charming and beautiful to see. I think it’s the closest I can ever really get to time travel. Found via Chateau Thombeau, a great blog that I recently started reading. […]

        I saw these posters on Unplggd and they made me laugh. They were designed by a Sao Paulo ad agency called Moma. Won’t it be fun to be grandmas and grandpas and see vintage ads for things like the iPhone and feel nostalgic? P.S. — Thank you for all the internet love yesterday (here on Design Mom, on twitter and on facebook) — I’m still grinning ear to ear! […]

              Of course, Pastor Terry Jones wasn't going to let go of his time in the spotlight. Now the leader of a tiny Florida church claims that he may not cancel his September 11 Koran burning after all. He told reporters, "We're definitely going to think it over and reconsider it. Now we're in somewhat a state of limbo, and we have to rethi […]

        Last week we got the Coast Guard put out a red tide alert, saying a 10-mile stretch of red water had been spotted in New York Harbor. But now CityRoom reports that environmental officials are declaring that it wasn't The red tide after all. After analyzing samples of water collected in the red-tinted area, they said “it’s hard to say definitively what t […]

Administrative Children's Services (ACS) has accused nonprofit organization Child Development Support Corporation (CDSC) of not adequately monitoring the case.

        On June 18th, John Lendino—a 53-year-old "deranged deaf mute"—stomped a 4-week-old pit bull puppy to death in Tompkins Square Park. He was in court yesterday wearing a Born To Be Wild t-shirt and sticking his tongue out at reporters, according to the NY Post, yet he remains free on $5,000 bail, a fact that has outraged many.

But while Hisham Elzanaty mentioned $18-20 mi […]

      • Shocking: Art Thief To Blame For Missing Painting September 9, 2010
        Turns out the co-owner of the million-dollar 19th-century masterpiece, that was said to be lost by a drunken art courier, is really to blame for the missing painting. This isn't really a shocking development, as the co-owner is Thomas Doyle, a known art thief. He owned the painting with his (former?) lover, Kristyn Trudgeon, who earlier this month said, […]
