everyillman posted her wfmu 2011 pickups, so i guess i should post mine. i shopped for all of 5 minutes. was too busy running the a/v lounge to really experience the great tribute to fetishistic materialism! but it is 5 times as much as i bought last year. and my wallet thanks me!
Much like Henry Rollins, Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins used to live in the shed behind Greg Ginn’s parents’ house before joining the Major League.
Ted Scharff originally spotted this tag in Grand Central at least 8 or 9 years ago. Adam S. recently grabbed this pic on an inbound train from White Plains. It’s never been scrubbed, and I still have no idea what it means. Most likely doesn’t refer to me since it clearly says “Mike + Noble,” but I still like to wonder. Especially since my 10th grade English teacher liked to refer to me and another guy as “Pinky & the Brain” without specifying which of us was the nitwit.
My cousin: Reggie Noble.
New York Times, A1 story : “My father took me to buy fireworks, and now I’m doing it for my kids,” said Reggie Noble, who was filling his cart with fireworks at the Phantom Fireworks in Easton one day this week. Mr. Noble, 41, who is better known as the rap artist Redman, said it did not make much sense that he cannot buy fireworks in New Jersey, where he lives.
“I can see the dangers they are trying to prevent, but it’s still happening,” he said. “I vote that they should lift it up.”
God, I love journalism. (And I’d wanna hear about how the reporter got Redman for this story over anything about fireworks. All day. Every day.)
