    geez who left the door open?

  • cobble

    “geez who left the door open?”

    I know! Any old riff raff could just march right in! ; )

  • David on Middagh

    CGar’s namecalling is making all of you utlanders look bad.

  • cobble

    David, He was just teasing Pete, who he happens to know personally, on his bad spelling/names. Pete also likes to skip pronouns.

    Good to see that 1d1ots are not limited to BH only, but they are a plague in other places as well.

    “Good to see that 1d1ots are not limited to BH only, but they are a plague in other places as well.”

    Problems with your “i” key, yd?

  • cobble

    yd, There seems to be no shortage of critics, either.

  • Ringo

    DIBS, I live in BH and I’ve been to Bed Stuy many times

  • Biff Champion

    yd, if you came on with a thought provoking and intelligent comment, like AEB did earlier, rather than attacking people, it might actually lead to an interesting discussion.

  • cobble

    Biff, Apparently CGar is making a great first impression! Just like he did here in Cobble Hill!

  • cobble

    Ooh, it’s a head to head, BH resident to BH resident show down! Don’t start without me, I have to go make some popcorn!

  • Biff Champion

    Cobble, just stand back and try not to get hit with a cane!

  • cobble

    Thanks, Biff, I’ll wear my catcher’s mask, just in case. This could be fierce!

  • arkady

    Cobble – Lots of butter & salt, please.

  • jessibaby

    Seems the natives got spooked and retreated to their 3.4 million dollar brownstones.

  • arkady

    Are Park Slopers allowed on a BH blog?

  • cobble

    I hope they turned on their alarm systems, there was a break-in in Cobble Hill this past weekend.

  • cobble

    I got 200!! [bow to the left, bow to the right]

  • Biff Champion

    I thought the counter might reset once the posts hit triple digits.

  • cobble

    I wonder what THEIR average OT post count is over here.

  • The Where

    Well this has truly been an exciting day. The fans of the carpetbagging /gentrification site Brownshirter have arrived. Now please add something interesting to the conversation. Good day.

  • Biff Champion

    “Now please add something interesting to the conversation. Good day.”

    Why don’t you start?

  • cobble

    I think he already did, Biff. Start a fight, I mean.

  • cobble

    Biff, Would you call us fans of carpetbagging or gentrification? Or would you call us fans of good clean fun?

  • Biff Champion

    It’s very odd to me when posters come on solely to insult others and have nothing interesting to say other than to comment that nobody else has anything interesting to say.

  • Biff Champion

    “Biff, Would you call us fans of carpetbagging or gentrification? Or would you call us fans of good clean fun?”

    Since the only place in Brooklyn I’ve ever lived is Brooklyn Heights, I’m not sure how I can qualify as a carpetbagger or gentrifier.

  • cobble

    Well, I have to agree, Biff, it’s not very welcoming.

  • ET

    You crazies are still at it?

  • ET

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

  • cobble

    We’re having a debate, ET. Are we fans of carpetbaggers or gentrifiers or not?

    If I was dragged to BHeights and then Cobble Hill as kid is that carpetbagging? or gentrifying? I mean it’s not like I had a choice in the matter.
