This Just In: Hey, Look, I'm In The Paper!

Just a little self-congratulatory notice on the eve of the holiday weekend that I wrote something and they put it in the newspaper:


Wisely, the Times has published it during a time when the intelligentsia will be too busy barbecuing in the backyards of their brownstones to read it, yet even so they did make sure to edit out my frequent use of the word "scranus."

Thank you for indulging me.  And now back to today's regularly scheduled post.

See youse on Tuesday.

    Nice, well argued, piece. I was tempted to try for a podium entry in my NYT commenter persona, but didn't think a gratuitous "scranus" would fit with its character of sober physician-scientist.

    Seriously though, nice work.

    Oh no!

    They went done put a link back to BSNYC at the bottom of that piece. That means all those hoity-toity types in their tuxedos and evening gowns will wander on over here after taking in show and want to talk about Truman Capote and the latest zeitgeist and what not, and we'll have to wipe our noses and comb our hair and be on our best behaviour just because Snobby wants to suck up to high society.

    This could be the start of Snobby's slow and steady decline into wankerdom.

    Interesting that in the end bio only your second book is listed. Have you disowned the other two or is it just an example of today's weak journalistic standards I keep hearing about? (I still get the local paper but only for the sports and comics - gotta keep up on Mary Worth))?

    a cultural iconographer for the nascent bike boom of the 21st century. Youse can foist those laurels with pride, knowing you curated the burgeoning culture of city salmon (and much more) into the bike world. Kudos.

    WRM was outed a while back, he just keeps changing names to throw off the scent, and taking more baths. He's also a master of disguise, I once saw him near Time Square blending in perfectly as a Tourist from Ohio (khaki shorts, white sneakers, fanny pack, Les Mis tickets).

    I suggest raising the annual fee to $500 so the people who use the system pay for it. $95 is a joke, essentially free, to set up a taxpayer (non-biker) subsidy for a few bikerheads. Another left-wing, let- government- do- it boondoggle.

    Capote weighed about 93 pounds and his favorite color was the tawny brown of well-aged Scotch. To impress the impressionable, mention that his ashes were stolen twice and the subject of much litigation and intrigue.

    Judas,

    Any kind of head on any first date is welcome. I recall a dark farmers field in an '86 Camaro thinkin "Well this is really workin out great."

    Two posts and an NYT article all in one day? Did the wife take the 17 kids to the in-laws for the weekend or did you develop a work ethic? If it's the latter, I don't even know who you are anymore.

    Anon @ 2:29 Funny, I was just thinking I liked the bivalves analogy. Not only do bikecyclists calm the polluted traffic stream, we are quite tasty with some white wine, butter and garlic

    CE - The tag at the bottom said A version of this op-ed appears in print on May 24, 2014, on page A21 of the New York edition with the headline: Bike Share’s Rough Ride

    I enjoyed the NYTs commentaritism - mostly favorable, but a few run em in the deetch of financial ruin types to balance back to the reality that is

    not fair

    I coulda been a podia contender. Posting a shorty while I was scouting out Portlandia. Not nice.

    I did find that there were

    1 - not as many bicycles as I expected.

    2 - cyclists all looked pretty normal. No naked riders or anything.

    3 - Portlands homeless seem a classy lot than NYC

    4 - The quick in and out boutique food places must buy grease by the truckload. but I guess it's organic.

    5 - Mt Hood is gigantic. 70 miles away and it looks huge. Pretty cold up at the lodge even now. And I ain't biking up that access road anytime soon.


    but I see that robot has taken time off too. A mere 86 for the captcha
