    A lot of these BHB posters seem to use bigger words than we are used to. Unfortunately I’m off to Cape Cod now and will miss most of the witty banter today.

    Yes, lets do a mutual drink nite.

  • arkady

    Back to the bookstore – Community Books on Court used to be married to Susan (former owner) of Community Books on 7th Av in the Slope. I think the one on Court is terrific – when he’s open.

    Hey all thanks for the free publicity!

  • melanie hope greenberg

    Thanks for the all the free publicity. Why plug on a small neighborhood blog where small people try to make others feel small when there are so many better ways and larger people to connect to? Cheers!

  • cobble

    Arkady, Interesting, I don’t think I knew that they were related. John Scioli never fails to surprise me when I go in looking for a book. He seems to know exactly where it might be, and if he doesn’t have it, he has a good recommendation on that particular subject/genre. Anyway, I’m glad he’s there, and wish him well!

    I’m all for drinks, in general, as you know. But also, specifically, a joint venture with the BHB crowd!

    Pssst! (sotto voce) Melanie, you really ought not to make comments about small people when CGar is around, he tends to take these things personally! ; )

    Melanie, if everyone posted as you do and did not pay for ad space, there would be far fewer media sources – this blog included. I don’t really care, but you have to accept that you’re gonna get ribbed a bit about it. Price you pay.

  • cobble

    Karl, Thank you for the high praise. I’m only sorry that my earlier posts didn’t rate the same level of enthusiasm! I’ll rededicate myself to the task, and strive to do better in the future. ; )

  • cobble

    And, btw, Karl, I’m very impressed! You’ve improved your post count tremendously in the last few hours! Kudos to you!

    Talk to nabeguy, I think he’s got huge potential…together, you two are unstoppable!

  • Snappy

    Class! Don’t make me get out my ruler! I see that you all have been going batsh*t crazy in my absence.

    And Cobble, I’m disappointed in you. Here you invite the lovely people of BHB to a mutual gathering while failing to pimp out/promote CobbleSnaps Productions. For Shame!

    Karl, Nabeguy, et al, please don’t be alarmed by the antics of a few B’Stoners. I swear we are all (well, ok…some of us) normal people in real life. I think only 3 or 4 of us have humps and goiters, 2 with tics, and well, then there’s our beloved Rob. Someone you just have to see to believe :-) Seriously though…next official CobbleSnaps Production will include a special invite to the folks of BHB. How do you all feel about karaoke? :-)

  • David on Middagh

    One problem with using the comment section of a blog post as chat software, at least here, is that it overwhelms the Nabe Chatter on the main page, obscuring relevant comments that have been added to other posts. (Just so you know.)

  • cobble

    (hanging my head) I’m so sorry, Snappy. I apologize, it won’t happen again. I feel I’ve let you down, I’ve let the blogs down, and I’ve let myself down.

    I’m so upset now, I may not be able to post again for, say, oh a good 5 or 10 minutes. : (

  • Snappy

    Genuine apologies, David on Middagh. I’ll do my best to round up this band of merry blognuts and take them home :-)

  • jessibaby

    David, yeah, we were just trying to have a little fun yesterday. Sorry if it’s been a hassle. To make matters even worse, I live on your street!

  • cobble

    “To make matters even worse, I live on your street!”

    D’oh!

  • David on Middagh

    Criminetly.

  • jessibaby

    Legion?

  • The Where

    This would be a really funny thread in 1998.

  • Biff Champion

    I wonder if we can keep this thread going until next Wednesday.

  • anon

    Don’t know how much you were paid, but the sheer wit of the many posts suggest you were underpaid.

    Biff: Well? Shall we go?
    DIBS: Yes, let’s go.
    They do not move.

  • AEB

    Biff, my confidence in your…stamina o’er flows….

  • Biff Champion

    Thanks AEB. I wonder if it equals my lack of confidence in your ability to post anything of interest.

    And meanwhile you continue reading this…

  • ET

    “my confidence in your…stamina o’er flows….”

    WOW!! They start raunch hour early in the Heights.
    Well, you know the sayimg: Early to bed, early to rise…..

  • Biff Champion

    “WOW!! They start raunch hour early in the Heights.”

    Of course! We have to make it to the early bird special by 4:30!

  • Biff Champion

    300.

    You’re welcome, BHB. TTFN.

  • AEB

    Oh, Biff. Do drop by sometime.

  • infinitejester

    300

  • arkady

    Just testing.

  • Teddie Boy Eddie

    “People actually live in Brooklyn Heights? I thought it was an outdoor museum.”

    Great line.

  • David on Middagh

    Please don’t feed the boors.
