What’s The Goss?!
NYC was one huge party this last weekend, with distracted dumb cops paying no attention to real crimes. 10/10 would do again.
Biggest question is this: Will Trump become the world’s most infamous white house trespasser/squatter? Dude should just get the fucking tape, get the fucken boxes, and get the fuck out. Maybe move to Saudi Arabia because New York States still wants your ass for scamming on taxes.
Anyway, let’s get on with the usual:
YOOOOOO Whose this cat who scrawled ACAB on a police “union” office? I don’t want to know, and hopefully no one ever finds out. Rock out sir, your service to our community by marking this terrorist organizations office is a benefit to us all.
Subway Antics
A charred, decomposing body was found in a Lower Manhattan subway tunnel, near Wall Street. Authorities assume this person was homeless and accidentally died via the third rail, but no positive ID has been made.
This person is just one of at least a dozen who are slowly moving back into the subway tunnels.
That New Tunnel Smell
There is a new trail tunnel in New England and I’m just like wtf? Who spends that much money on a trail? That would never happen in NYC. The brits are also way over budget on rehab of… a pedestrian and cycling tunnel.
Meanwhile, Virgin Hyperloop tested a pod at 100mph out in Vegas. The pod didn’t get to go any faster because there test tube apparently isn’t long enough. Whatever the case, it’s great to see a company competing with E*on M*sk’s (literally) boring company. Virgin is testing faster and cheaper with tubes built on the surface, while M*sk is testing only after building tunnels, and plans on using garbage little Tesla toaster cars that will travel at significantly lower speeds than advertised. The only advantage here for M*sk is maybe the ability to learn how to bore tunnels even faster, but this seems like a challenge that plenty of other companies would also take on. Just like a few other megalomaniac US citizens, there’s not much behind the curtain to M*sk’s little tech con man show.
Shorty’s Short Shorts
Another long closed school in Chicago might become a community center.
Guam’s fight against ‘bandos continues.
The Mohawk Carpet Mill in Amsterdam has started to collapse and the town cannot find the building’s owner, or afford to take the building down.
Here’s a fun story about a small abandoned railroad icehouse in Oklahoma.
Bando BBQ
Phoenix ‘bando bursting into flames is just so on brand for that town…
A dumpy little trackside “apartment building” burned up in Hazard County, Kentucky last week. No word on if the duke boys were involved, or if Cletus would even know where to find them.
There were also ‘bando fires in South Bend, Shreveport and Dayton.
International Update
New Zealand sued a company that caused some serious Fatberg damage and why the hell don’t we do that?
A gobshite in the UK threw a halloween party in an old bando and now the man is looking for him! Guarda are also trying to get their hands on these base jumpers who did their thing off the top of HUMPER bridge (yeah I know it’s “Humber” but no). Meanwhile, is it only a matter of time before this other bridge climber gets jailed up after the fact?
This is an old video but who wouldn’t want this in their yard? Choo Choo motherfucker!
Is this tunnel in India leaky? Sounds like a good excuse for volunteer freelance tunnel inspection.
And that’s a Wrap:
Many many many years ago I hung out with a very old school, very paranoid NYC graffiti writer. One night we went for a ride with an explorer friend who later became a cop. If I recall right we even did crimes together that night and it was a good time. However, Graff dude went on some paranoid crazy trip and stopped talking to me afterwards.
That shit was nearly twenty years ago—and since then I’ve heard about this graff dude telling others that I’m basically a cop. I’ve heard the same story from a half dozen people who don’t know each other (and none of whom seem to think I’m anything but a crooked goon). I used to pay this baseless rubbish no mind because it’s such an absolutely insane allegation that it’s not worth mentioning—and it wouldn’t be, if this dude hadn’t kept repeating it for almost twenty years now. So far as I know he hasn’t been arrested at all in that time span, and my now-officer associate (we talk on occasion, haven’t seen him in ages) never had any interest in doing anything to him, other than being a fan of his graffiti (Yes, there are cops who are actually into graffiti, and exploring—SHOCKING eh? Not to those of us with brains…)
Those of you who know who I’m talking about know exactly who I’m talking about without me dropping names. Maybe tell him to think for just one god damned second about how insane he sounds. Good luck though, as I assume he’s still just talking at people for hours on end and not letting anyone even reply.
Nearly twenty years of this blabbering, evidence-less, baseless, nonsensical meritless grade school rumor spreading bullshit. Shut the fuck up already dude. No one cares. Do I really need to put your name on blast before you shut up? Maybe stop clinging to this crazy ass story and go do some actual graffiti again, you legend in your basement Quack Quack ass motherfucker. I had a load of respect for you, but I’m fucken done being quiet about this.
Those of you that don’t know this person, be glad you don’t.
Anyway, Shoutout to Gasaxe for pointing me towards that wacky german video.
