BE ON THE LOOKOUT!
And not just stolen from a light pole or clipped from a bike rack, but someone actually broke into my property, clipping my yard’s gate lock with bolt cutters (ON VIDEO, coming soon!), probably proceeded to poke around my house’s perimeter, and eventually clipped my bike’s lock and rode off into the sunset.
Incident occurred at approximately 3:30pm on Wednesday January 25 in Long Island City, Queens. The very guilty suspect can be seen walking up the street (my landlord has video cameras on the street and on our property, which is set about 45′ back from the street) with a bag of tools, obviously, and the whole thing takes about 5 minutes for his in and out theft. Bikes get stolen, I know that, but it’s pretty shocking that whoever this was was ballsy enough to bolt-cut the lock on the street, in broad daylight. And oh yeah I was home at the time! Anyhow it’s an iconic looking bike: 2010 Bianchi San Jose, shiny red; neon green handlebars and neon orange pedals; if you see it LOCK IT and email me [nick@geekathon.net] or call my hotline [419-NOR-MALS that's 419-667-6257] with its location!!

And so the headlines read again and again in this week’s Nonsense NYC list – so many good choices for one evening, from Cheryl to Occupy to the Pratt Steam Whistles, and then, recovery, while the boroughs clearly take a break from partying, as indicated by the disparity of events for Mon/Tues/Wed. Also, Nonsense are currently asking for donations – give a buck, if you can.
See you in 2012!

This trailer is deservedly getting a lot more views in recent days – in case you don’t know the tale of Pulgasari it’s not only a mythical creature but was also a film produced – yes, what I’m about to say is true – by the now-deceased North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il. A few years prior to the kidnapping of that film’s director, Jong-il penciled the treatise On the Art of Cinema [link] (fantastic cover by the way, pictured above) which led to the formation of the North Korean film industry aka Jongilwood (just made that up obviously). It’s a terrible movie but if you’re a fan of the monster genre, it’s sort of quintessential:
PS – the post title is not only a reference to Team America: World Police but because I’d love to see a puppet re-make of this film in their parody-style – yessir!
