Wow, Maybe Those Coop-retards Aren't So Bad After All?

Seriously people, this really pulls at my heartstrings. In fact, I would grab a box of kleenex if I were you, b/c the raw humanity that is about to jump off your computer screen is gonna be hard to wrangle.

Those mofos at the Park Slope Food Coop have totally outdone themselves with this shining example of generosity:

"The Park Slope Food Coop — infamous for its hardliner stance on its rules — made an exception for one of its members who survived US Airways Flight 1549’s fabled landing in the Hudson.

The member wasn’t charged for a replacement ID card, which was lost in her luggage in the Hudson River, the co-op’s in-house rag “The Line-waiter’s Gazette” reported."

!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BLOCK-OFF! 7th Ave [btwn Garfield & Carroll] vs. 7th Ave [btwn Berkeley & Lincoln]

After abandoning 7th Ave in last week’s Block-Off!, I’ve decided to, in honor of the less commercial of this week’s two holidays, bring two of Park Slope’s more presidential-named blocks to the virtual debate podium for this week’s non-Dan Rather moderated Block-Off!

That means that this week, I’ll be highlighting blocks with streets that share names with two of our assassinated, lasagna-loving presidents, as 7th Ave from Garfield to Carroll bumps heads with 7th Ave from Berkeley to Lincoln. Only after both blocks have begged & pleaded & flip-flopped for my vote like good little presidential blocks should, will a winner be crowned. Let the pomp-filled & un-circumstantial, bi-partisan judging begin!
