Gawker Blows Up PBH’s Game

From Gawker:

“I pour beers and bar-back at a little place [in Carrol Gardens]. Great place. We get a good crowd on Sundays for NFL football… So anytime someone would squeeze up near the taps to order a drink, if they were of the female persuasion, he’d strike up a convo. “So… are you a Green Bay fan?” type stuff. Within a line or two, he’d mention that he wrote for Gawker, and the girl would get interested, ask a few questions about “that life” (I’m very serious, one girl asked, “What’s that life like?”), and then eventually they’d take their beer and walk away.”

Fact 1: Kit and Alec were in Carrol Gardens drinking beer and watching football 2 Sundays ago.

Fact 2: We often pretend we work for big time blogs to get into girls pants.

Fact 3: We both live in Bed Stuy.

Fact 4: Kit looks like this, but with a beard:

Conclusion: Make your own, but someone got laid that night by pretending to work for Jezebel.

Notes on the Red Sox – Angels Game

I wish I could find a way to do the things I know I need to do. I wish I knew what I was looking for. I wish it didn’t all seem so pointless. I wish I didn’t fall in love with fantasies and dream of girls who if they were real wouldn’t dream of me.

But these are all backgound noise to the game of the moment, 11th inning of a tie game between the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Angels. I find myself drawn to the Angels, though I have been a lifelong Red Sox fan, my allegiance the last tie to my short childhood in Providence. Those days were long ago.

I think about them in between pitches, and dream about them while the commercials roll. All the girls in my life, the ones I love unrequited, the ones who love me unrequited, the girls I once loved and who loved me, passionately and without care. The girls I loved only once.

The is the land of opportunity, city teeming with girls with heartbreak smiles. I shouldn’t worry so much. I worry too much about life and love I guess. That is what my friends say. Still I sit here lonely tv watching dreaming of the last girl whose smile made me sing. She doesn’t love me though, but that never stopped obsession from creeping into my overactive imagination.

I think I want the pain, I want the losers of my past to commiserate with, I can’t stand this unrelatable success. Angels score, I can’t help but root for the underdog. Still I feel a pang of regret for my now unrelatable past, future comes, trickles in like a tidal wave. And so things go, another pitch, another pitch, swing, swing, miss or hit.

It was the blog of times.

Well, right in the thick of things going well, we are getting kicked off of our server. If anyone has some recommendations on where we should move to, it’d be much appreciated.

News To Make You Huff Glue (In Happiness)

While former Lehman CEO Richard Fuld was testifying before the House Oversight Committee Oct. 6, CNBC reported he had been punched in the face at the Lehman Brothers gym after it was announced the firm was going bankrupt. CNBC and Vanity Fair contributor Vicki Ward said Fuld was attacked at the gym on a Sunday following the bankruptcy.

“Frankly, I sat there and listened and I’m with the guy who apparently, the day before Barclays announced they were coming in and Lehman had already filed for bankruptcy, went over to him in the gym and punched him because that’s how I feel when I, you know, when I watched that,” Ward said on the Oct. 6 “Power Lunch.” “I didn’t think he was contrite at all, I thought he was arrogant.”

“From two very senior sources – one incredibly senior source – that he went to the gym after … Lehman was announced as going under. He was on a treadmill with a heart monitor on. Someone was in the corner, pumping iron and he walked over and he knocked him out cold. And frankly after having watched this, I’d have done the same too.”

Basically, someone knocked out the CEO of Lehman Brothers. Whoever you are, you are a true hero.
