Apparently some "artists" in providence, RI not only built a secret apartment in a mall, but lived there for the last four years.
The apartment had no running water (they used mall bathrooms), but it did include “a sectional sofa and love seat, coffee and breakfast tables, chairs, lamps, rugs, paintings, a hutch filled with china, a waffle iron, TV and Sony Playstation 2,” according to the Boston Globe.

| I think this is supposed to be what the "secret" apartment looked like. Hard to say, given the Zapruder-esque quality of this image. |
Pretty cool, I guess. I mean, it's not the real-life visualization of Geico's "Tiny House" that I have been wanting for years, but this'll do.
Also, Providence Paul Blart, your detective skills are an insult to Lenny Briscoe.
They should get Tom Hanks to star in a movie based on this story.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the NSA knew of this place before the mall.
ReplyDeletehave been meaning to ask about the graduations...attended my first two nights ago, a pre-K grad ceremony, held at 7pm (ok unless you have 2 other young'ns) that lasted 90 min. wedding. tango. foxtrot. when did this shit start? what year? clarence? i think it's ridiculous. told my wife that's the last one we go to.
ReplyDeletealso - if you haven't read the wright thompson's latest piece in grantland, do so. especially for you soccer peeps.
also be sure to read Drew Magary's GQ piece on the Kid Rock Cruise
ReplyDeleteit. is. phenomenal.
I caught shit from the wife for bailing on my son's Pre-K graduation, held at the convenient time of 10:30 AM on a Tuesday in a town where most dads commute to NYC for work.
ReplyDeleteShe bought him balloons that said "Congrats, Grad!" He promptly bit a hole in it to suck in helium so he could make his voice sound funny. His Dad taught him that trick.
My town has a K-3 school, a 4th-5th school, a middle school and a high school. Plenty of time left to pretend I care. I don't think I need to start escrowing cash for his therapy for me missing that "ceremony".
i 2nd the kid rock cruise article. oh my. there should be a gtb cruise. it could take place on the staten island ferry. or one of those dc dinner cruise ships. ya know, until readership gets up to a few hundred.

ReplyDeleterob, Trombone Shorty played on the Kid Rock cruise. thought you'd like to know.
ReplyDeletethis 'graduation' shit is a scam. and since my 11 year-old is constitutionally incapable of sitting still and not making faces at every single word said by a speaker, her front-row positioning was especially enjoyable. at one point, she flashed gang signs to a kid across the room. good times.
ReplyDeletevan buren boys, i assume.
ReplyDeleteGang signs in Leesburg. Who knew?
ReplyDeleteMS-13, z
ReplyDeletedid your 11-year old have a pre-K grad ceremony? i want answers!
ReplyDeleteprobably, but i certainly wasn't there. both girls definitely had kindergarten 'graduations'.
ReplyDeleteThe Nuggets just let George Karl go? WTF is happening in Denver?
ReplyDeleteI second both article recommendations. Italians might actually be worse than rednecks.
ReplyDeleteFuck all this graduation shit. You didn't flunk out if preschool, grade school or middle school? Yay for you. You're not amongst the dumbest 1% of kids in the country.
I do enjoy how much of a G Rob's daughter is though.
nuggets personnel high on cannabis, fire karl, laugh, and convey they were just joshin
ReplyDeleteNuggets already lost their GM this off season too. A young GM widely regarded as one the league's best. Nice little summer they're having in Denver.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I'd be cool if this rain could give it a rest for a while. No? Oh, okay. That's cool too.
Is it ok to talk on your cell phone on the toilet in the men's room at work? Because some guy was having a loud, protracted conversation (with his wife I think) whilst on the throne and it weirded me out.
ReplyDeleteHardest thing about talking while dropping a deuce is masking splashing sounds and masking exertion noises while speaking.
ReplyDeleteI say you should be allowed to chat, although public cell phone etiquette should be adhered to. You stick with that, and everything else is cream cheese.
not a proponent of using the cell phone in a public bathroom to talk to anyone other than buddies, ya know, other people who would only find it amusing that you were doing so. i see/hear guys in airport stalls and even standing at the urinal conducting actual business with toilets flushing every half a second. it's odd to me. but that's just me.
ReplyDeleteman, wright thompson.
ReplyDeleteI feel strongly that the stall deuce phone call is not ok. I was on a conference call recently where one of my colleagues had the audacity to flush during a call with about 6 people. It was a loud, unmistakable flush.
ReplyDeleteI do, however, often continue a call during a trip to the urinal.

Am curious to find out from our female readers if their gender ever does such a thing.
ReplyDeleteStay classy Geoff's colleague. Seems like a potentially a poor career choice.
ReplyDeleteNo, Zman, It is NOT ok to talk on your cell phone from the bathroom at work. It's also not ok to talk on your phone in a public bathroom. Not OK at home either.
ReplyDeleteBottom line = phones of any kind are NOT kosher in bathrooms of any kind.
Man, that Kid Rock cruise sounds like an epic goatfuck.
ReplyDeleteSo if I can't take the phone in the shitter, when am I supposed to play Words with Friends?
ReplyDeleteSo if I'm not Jewish does that mean I can chat in the throne room?
ReplyDeleteTurds With Friends?
ReplyDeletebm's with bff's
ReplyDeleteOf course we don't talk on phones in the bathroom. We're too pretty and classy for that. I've heard tell of texting in the potty but I have no comment on that.

ReplyDeleteSuck a dick bronbon.
ReplyDeletehi gheorghies! (weak but i made it out after suffering through a four hour retirement dinner)
ReplyDeletewhat did brobron do, mark? obviously, that game ended way after my bedtime.
ReplyDeleteThat was Marls. I hold no ill will for The Bron. He did drop a triple double that included 18 boards. Good thing he hit the glass like that because Chris 'Like a Bosh' is a pussy.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of hitting the glass, Florida Gov. Rick Scott signed the anti bong bill yesterday. No more glass, plastic or ceramic bongs available for sale in Florida after July 1. Stock up now kids!
ReplyDeletesorry, mark. all you bald white guys look the same to me
ReplyDeletewe have sun here in fla today, that is unless you're a frequent bong buyer. 'tis glorious. sorry for you n.e.'rs...
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of bathroom etiquette ... am I weird for using those paper ass gaskets when I use the shitter at work? Going rawdog on a public seat gives me the heebeejeebees. I had a conversation about this with some former colleagues and they think I'm a wimp.
ReplyDeleteyou're a wimp. your asshair is a better shield than any tissue.
ReplyDeleteyasiel puig, y'all
ReplyDeletezman, you've been in the bathroom after me at tortuga's, and they don't stock those paper seat covers -- and you're still fairly healthy.
ReplyDeleteThe Djoker took Rafa to a 5th set. And I am at work. Dagger.
ReplyDeleteI'm sitting in a drs office that's showing the French Open on a 40 in HDTV. May just sit here in the lobby until this is over. It's that good. And you're a wimp, Z.
