Hello Patriots! It's OTW… this week:

Fireworks tonight, best viewed from the Promenade or your roof. This year's innovation: nautical shells.  

Watchtower puts the kabosh on Paping Soapbox Derby… can't we ever have fun in Brooklyn Heights? 

Been to the Floating Pool Lady?  

Five Guys mania! 

TwoFones has an iPhone, do you? 

…and whatever else is on your mind….

    So tell us what happened at the Dick Swizzle Sudden Death Game Show last night.

    When I first heard about the “nautical shells,” I thought it was some type of pasta stuffed with seafood. I wonder what the fish will think of this latest pyrotechnic development?

    Priceless pic. Despite our three pointed patriot hats, both Qfwfq and I lost!

    Check this out, that coffee place Uncommon Grounds must be affiliated with Seattle’s Best Coffee in some way. On the Uncommon Grounds site it says this:
    Brooklyn hasn’t always been the center of the coffee universe, in fact the city once served as much bad coffee as the rest of the country. That changed when a group of passionate coffee lovers started a revolution.

    And on the Seattle’s Best site it says this:
    Seattle hasn’t always been the center of the coffee universe, in fact the city once served as much bad coffee as the rest of the country. That changed in the early 70’s when a group of passionate coffee lovers started a revolution.

    I’ve seen the sticker on the store and the truck outside, so I guess they must be an investor or something. I’m sure they wouldn’t just plagiarize someone else’s site.

    Duh… They serve Seattle’s Best Coffee.

    True, but does that mean it’s the brew that makes one rip off someone else’s copy (and poorly at that)?
