mr. brojangles (sanskrit), Monday, 4 September 2006 12:25 (eighteen years ago)

i totally just ate a jerk chicken plate from the islands.
some guy on the street reprimanded me for checking a girl out and not saying something to her or "grabbin' a lil."

WAS DERE WEST INDIANDAY PARADES

the eunuchs, Cassim and Mustafa, who guarded Abdur Ali's harem (orion), Monday, 4 September 2006 18:18 (eighteen years ago)

NOT THAT I SAW OF

killy (baby lenin pin), Monday, 4 September 2006 18:21 (eighteen years ago)

well, it sounds like you earned that reprimand

also, so many fucking cops.

at least they were working (hopefully). three years ago some friends wanted to do the whole parade route, we ended up in a way south section of prospect park where 200-300 cops were chilling, napping and smoking cigars while getting double time. two people were shot that year with no suspects found.

mr. brojangles (sanskrit), Monday, 4 September 2006 19:53 (eighteen years ago)

I saw a couple at Hoyt-Schermerhorn who I assume were in attendance today, and the chick was wearing pants with generous tears displaying her glorious ghetto booty

oh and C Town rules...they just built one (RIGHT FUCKING) next (DOOR) to my new apt on Taaffe

Cops closed Franklin all day yesterday and we had to carry pieces of mail to be let back onto our street. Apparently it was because there were 4 people shot at Prospect & Nostrand on Sunday night, and I imagine the prospect of canceling parade was even less appealing than dressing all of Crown Heights in navy blue.

DOES A NOISE DUDE LIKE A PARADE WHERE BLACK GURLS DRESS UP LIKE LSD?

there was a white guy (britishes) mc'ing over dubstep dj set at artscape festival this summer. twice he broke into the chorus of cutty ranks 'limb by limb'. cringe-inducing.

anyone had ackee and saltfish? i wanna try it

señor citizen (eman), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 11:09 (eighteen years ago)

I went to the parade one year. This time I got sunburn, baseball and cheesesteak in Philly.

Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 13:15 (eighteen years ago)

i've had codfish bakes here, but that's not the same. also had my first irish moss a few weeks ago, disappointed to realize it just tastes like a giant loogey of egg nog.

mr. brojangles (sanskrit), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 13:39 (eighteen years ago)

what about the reggae mussels?

lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 14:07 (eighteen years ago)

The fruit of the Ackee is not edible in entirety. It is only the fleshy arils around the seeds that are edible while the remainder of the fruit and seeds are poisonous. The fruit must only be picked after it has opened naturally, and it must be fresh and not overripe. Immature and overripe Ackee fruit are also poisonous. The fruit, even when ripe, is a cause of Jamaican vomiting sickness, characterized by vomiting and hypoglycemia.

The unripened or inedible portions of the fruit contain the toxins hypoglycin A and hypoglycin B. Hypoglicin A is found in both the seeds and the arilli, while hypoglycin B is found only in the seeds[2]. Hypoglycin is converted in the body to methylenecyclopropyl acetic acid (MCPA). Hypoglycin and MCPA are both toxic. MCPA inhibits several enzymes involved in the breakdown of acyl CoA compounds. Hypoglycin binds irreversibly to coenzyme A and carnitine reducing their bioavailability and consequently inhibiting beta oxidation of fatty acids. Beta oxidation normally provides the body with ATP, NADH and acetyl CoA which is used to supplement the energy produced by glycolysis. Glucose stores are consequently depleted leading to hypoglycemia[7] .

señor citizen (eman), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 14:31 (eighteen years ago)

The oil of the ackee arils contains many important nutrients, especially fatty acids. Linoleic, palmitic and stearic acids are the primary fatty acids found in the fruit[8]. Ackee oil makes an important contribution to the diet of many Jamaicans.

Ackee and salt fish (cod) is the national dish of Jamaica. Salt cod is sautéed with akee, pork fat, onions, peppers, tomatoes, herbs, and may be garnished with crisp bacon and fresh tomatoes.

sanskrit, Monday, 20 August 2007 03:50 (seventeen years ago)

i am ok with ass grabage i usually think that kind of thing is hilarious as long as it doens't happen in crowded subway trains where you are pressed against the dude's junk for 10 minutes.

i have been female-to-male assgrabber so i can't really complain

bell_labs, Monday, 20 August 2007 04:27 (seventeen years ago)

if i can "tssk" them for grabbing or just give a saucy look it should be fine.

bell_labs, Monday, 20 August 2007 04:31 (seventeen years ago)

bell_labs, Monday, 20 August 2007 21:30 (seventeen years ago)

Laurel, Monday, 20 August 2007 21:30 (seventeen years ago)

i ended up not eating breakfast at all. well, i had a gingersnap cookie followed soon after by a hotdog.

bell_labs, Monday, 20 August 2007 21:34 (seventeen years ago)

bell_labs, Monday, 20 August 2007 21:38 (seventeen years ago)

i will PROBABLY be killing time tonight waiting for locksmith/whoever to arrive and want to read quietly.

bell_labs, Monday, 20 August 2007 21:39 (seventeen years ago)

If there is a congenial fire escape/window/stoop for smoking, and/or if you wanted me to bring some bolognese sauce over for eating, I could swing it.

Laurel, Monday, 20 August 2007 22:05 (seventeen years ago)

the problem is i'm locked out of my apartment! but i would love bolognese sauce and/or a beer somewhere in the hood while i wait...

bell_labs, Monday, 20 August 2007 22:11 (seventeen years ago)

Hahah fissssshing fiiishing. Yes come to my house if you can wait there for lucksmith! Roommates all gone this week and I want beer + cigs + food + company.

Laurel, Monday, 20 August 2007 22:15 (seventeen years ago)

bell_labs, Monday, 20 August 2007 22:20 (seventeen years ago)

and TUGBOAT RACES SUN MORNING

Dr Morbius, Friday, 31 August 2007 17:53 (seventeen years ago)

Yes yes I do want to see those Morbs but now that I have houseguest for Friday/Sat/Sun I dunno...plus his flight has to leave sometime Sunday so I will see how that schedule works out. o_O

Laurel, Friday, 31 August 2007 18:02 (seventeen years ago)

so excited guys!

bell_labs, Friday, 31 August 2007 18:05 (seventeen years ago)

so tell me if I'm wrong but this seems to say the flour thing is at 2 am Monday (ie late-night Sunday) .... Monday is "Carnival Day," right? this is from that site Morbs linked to above.

J'Ouvert

J'Ouvert, or jour ouvert in French meaning daybreak, began in Trinidad in 1937. Today J'Ouvert is also celebrated in New York as a predawn festival on Carnival day. In keeping with tradition, steel drums are the only forms of music that will be played. Revelers in J'Ouvert wear costumes also, but unlike Carnival day, J'Ouvert costumes are inexpensive and are often creations that mock political issues, celebrities, and prominent events. The predawn celebration begins at 2am at Grand Army Plaza by the Library, travels through Flatbush to empire Blvd, and ends on Nostrand Avenue and Linden Blvd.

dmr, Friday, 31 August 2007 18:07 (seventeen years ago)

Holy shit this is an all-nighter.

Laurel, Friday, 31 August 2007 18:09 (seventeen years ago)

the article Lauren linked also says "held in the pre-dawn hours of Carnival Monday ... "

unless there is a smaller j'ouvert on Saturday night or something ... ?

dmr, Friday, 31 August 2007 18:11 (seventeen years ago)

no, it's the same thing.

lauren, Friday, 31 August 2007 18:30 (seventeen years ago)

bummer. I don't think I can do 2 am Monday.

dmr, Friday, 31 August 2007 18:50 (seventeen years ago)

oh, i didn't even notice the saturday/sunday confusion. i'm assuming that it's late on sunday/early on monday because it's supposed to be the night before the actually parade.

lauren, Friday, 31 August 2007 19:03 (seventeen years ago)

right, exactly.

dmr, Friday, 31 August 2007 19:14 (seventeen years ago)

yeah i'm confused. me and the missus could have met you guys late Sat night at Freddys or Soda or something, but Sunday we'll be out of town. back Monday 1-ish.

sanskrit, Friday, 31 August 2007 22:55 (seventeen years ago)

I think late Sat we will be in the area for steel drum bands, sanskirt! I want to meet missus. Do you have my/bells/ian/dave's number(s) for getting in touch?

Laurel, Saturday, 1 September 2007 15:54 (seventeen years ago)

i go to oneida perhaps i see some noizers there

strongohulkington, Saturday, 1 September 2007 17:01 (seventeen years ago)

sanskrit, Saturday, 1 September 2007 17:04 (seventeen years ago)

I'll be around the neighborhood after work, may be up for some Freddy's or steel drum action

dmr, Saturday, 1 September 2007 17:17 (seventeen years ago)

def up for steel drums later. if anyone needs my number email me. ian's working til 10 but i think the steel drums start at 8 so plus his phone isn't reliable! i wouuld do drinks at some point too.

bell_labs, Saturday, 1 September 2007 17:45 (seventeen years ago)

Sunday, Sep. 2 - 6 pm to 2 am
Panorama
Tickets: $30 advance, $35 door

bell_labs, Saturday, 1 September 2007 21:31 (seventeen years ago)

sleep, Saturday, 1 September 2007 21:42 (seventeen years ago)

hmm this sez it's on sunday

dmr, Saturday, 1 September 2007 21:51 (seventeen years ago)

WAIT, BREAKING NEWS

http://wiadca.org/images/stories/SteelBand2007.jpg

dmr, Saturday, 1 September 2007 21:51 (seventeen years ago)

sleep, Saturday, 1 September 2007 21:54 (seventeen years ago)

Something somewhere said that doors are at 6, contest starts at 8.

it's okey with me, Saturday, 1 September 2007 22:02 (seventeen years ago)

so confused. maybe drinks later instead then?

bell_labs, Saturday, 1 September 2007 22:02 (seventeen years ago)

sounds good

dmr, Saturday, 1 September 2007 22:03 (seventeen years ago)

the brooklyn museum website is even more useless.

bell_labs, Saturday, 1 September 2007 22:03 (seventeen years ago)

wifey was thinking sepia bar though i'm more of a tavern on the dean man. hollar people, maybe we walk by museum and catch a minute for free.

sanskrit, Saturday, 1 September 2007 22:35 (seventeen years ago)

i am up for anywhere. what time are people thinking? 10ish?

bell_labs, Saturday, 1 September 2007 22:52 (seventeen years ago)

linds, me + woman are going to tavern on dean at 8pm. if people want to meet up elsewhere after, let me know. but i think we are going to be knocked out go to bed by 11:30 or so. too much sun and too much drinking.

lol, yuppies

sanskrit, Saturday, 1 September 2007 23:27 (seventeen years ago)

ok guize i will meet up at tavern on the dean around 9:30!

bell_labs, Saturday, 1 September 2007 23:46 (seventeen years ago)

Everyone is headed to Tavern. I think we make it at like 9 or 9.30 too! For later drinks (whoops just typed "drunks") there is of course Freddy's.

Laurel, Sunday, 2 September 2007 00:24 (seventeen years ago)

I am sorry I missed the concert but am I the only one who balked at paying $35? Ended up at Freddy's anyway with a friend and got several rounds of drinks for the both of us for less than the admission price. PBR, but then we were both well gone well before the fucking concert anyway.

Oh, shit, left half of a six-pack of Coors Light in a black plastic bag somewhere off of Vanderbilt behind a tree. If there are any desperate masochists out there, feel free to investigate. Apparently it is some sort of Wisconsin thing. I am from the midwest also but I still don't understand.

it's okey with me, Sunday, 2 September 2007 06:50 (seventeen years ago)

who the fuck is this?

hey guys text me and lemme know where you're watching the parade tomorrow :D

bell_labs, Monday, 3 September 2007 02:01 (seventeen years ago)

i kinda want to go to j'ouvert but i'm also probably going to fall asleep too early...

bell_labs, Monday, 3 September 2007 02:04 (seventeen years ago)

I wanted to see the flour parade too, bell, but I am so tired and feel a little sickly. We will parade tomorrow, instead.

Laurel, Monday, 3 September 2007 02:47 (seventeen years ago)

sorry i didn't text anyone, wasn't sure how long we'd stay on the parade route.

caught a few soundsystems, got a fried shrimp plate with plantain and doubled back the fam onto washington.

#1 fashion plate of the day was hip hop dude w/ biceps as big as my neck, rocking chains, backwards baseball cap, and a morissey t-shirt.

sanskrit, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 01:20 (seventeen years ago)

i saw exactly 0 steel bands but many soundsystems and shiny bras and feathered asses. also i ate a pumpkin roti and some jerk chicken.

bell_labs, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 13:47 (seventeen years ago)

Her roti scared me off from trying them cos too many smushy un-ID-able things were added. I had curry chix instead and rice & peas and NOM NOM in the hot sun. Next year, though, we go to j'ouvert.

Laurel, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 15:19 (seventeen years ago)

i did not eat any goat. i should have...

bell_labs, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 15:21 (seventeen years ago)

melanie and i went back to the roti place cos she wanted something veg. i think be figured out that it was potatoes, beans, greens/spinach, mango sauce. it was very tasty!

bell_labs, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 15:24 (seventeen years ago)

i regrettably did not get another roti. i'm an IDIOT

bell_labs, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 15:25 (seventeen years ago)
