It's Wednesday All Over Your Face!

Bonjour.

Parlez-vous français, motherfucker?


(Trick photography makes this livre look like a giant Francophonic monolith, which it's not.)

Moi neither, but you can get my book in the French now from Marabout, presumably wherever books, baguettes, and berets are sold.

Moving on, here in New York City we're going to elect a new mayor soon.  Republican Joe Lhota says the best pizza is Grimaldi's:


(Lhota mimes cradling an ugly baby and/or stuffing his face.)

While Democrat Bill de Blasio says it's di Fara:


(De Blasio mimes bringing a delicious slice of pizza into his pie hole from the side.)

As for me, I say who gives a shit?  Firstly, botha 'yas look like you could stand to lay off the pizza for a little while.  Secondly, only an asshole waits on line for two hours for a fucking pizza.  Thirdly, pizza nerds are right up there with the most annoying people on the planet, and I put them on an equal plane with bike dorks, vinyl enthusiasts, and "street art connoisseurs."

What I do know is that Lhota intends to keep the current police commissioner, Ray Kelly, who recently announced that the official NYPD policy is to throw up its hands and give up when it comes to drivers who kill:

 “We do have 8.4 million people here. We do have a daytime population that’s over 10 million people, so you’re going to have a lot of traffic. And you’re going to have accidents.”

“We’ve worked closely with Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan; I think they’re doing a great job,” Kelly said, mispronouncing his fellow commissioner’s name as “Sadiki-Khan.”

Kelly defended NYPD crash investigation procedures and the partial reforms enacted last spring, but when it comes to cracking down on reckless drivers, the commissioner said there was little police could do. “Many of the advocates, and I assume you are one of them, want us to make these determinations when we haven’t observed the violation,” Kelly said. “It takes in-depth examination of a violation. It takes witnesses. It is much more complex than you might think.”

I mean, we all knew it, but it's still creepy to hear him actually say it.  So yeah, if you're wondering why the guy who ran over five schoolkids on the sidewalk on video hasn't gotten in any trouble, it's because the case is apparently too complex to crack.

I do actually like Lhota's "don't really give a fuck" riding style though, as forwarded to me by Leroy's dog's owner.

As for de Blasio, his policy is "Vision Zero," which sounds good on paper:


(Thinking about pizza.)

Though while I've heard his opinions on pizza I haven't heard much out of him on all the unprosecuted pedestrian deaths recently.  (And there have been a shitload.)  I'm sure he's afraid of alienating the drivers before election time.  He did, however, share his thoughts about bicycle commuting on Reddit:

TinkTailSold 

Hi, Mr. de Blasio.
If elected, will you ever bike to work?

deBlasio 

Unfortunately not, but let me tell you a story and I'll explain why I give you that answer. In 1990, I was in Seattle with my brother Steven, and we both bought mountain bikes, and we went on an amazing bike trip through western Montana, which is a really beautiful place… best seen by bike. Then I brought my bike back to Brooklyn, and although there were a few years when the kids were younger when I used it a lot, in recent years I almost never have used my bike. That's the sad truth. So I don't think it's likely I'll be using it to get to work, although I really appreciate and admire people that do, And I want to make it easier for people who do.

Oy.  He put his foot in his mouth there like it was a slice from di Fara's:


("Bikes: They're great in Montana.")

We are so fucked.

But let's turn away from all this negativity, at least for a moment.  Did you know today is a holiday?  No, not "Simchat Torah."  That's not even a real thing, silly!  It's my favorite day of the year, Messenger Appreciation Day!!!


In 1991, a mayoral proclamation decreed that October 9 of every year would be Messenger Appreciation Day in San Francisco. October 9 is “10-9″ in radio code and means “Say again” or “What?” 10-9 Day is celebrated informally all over the world. In 1997 Toronto joined San Francisco in celebrating Messenger Appreciation Day with a joint proclamation from the City of Toronto and Metro Toronto.

10-9 Day has been proclamied or recognized by Calgary, Chicago (proclamation), Edmonton, Portland, SanFrancisco, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver , Houston and Washington DC.

San Francisco, huh?  Does that mean they'll take a break from totally screwing cyclists today?  (San Francisco wants to be New York so badly it's pathetic.)  By the way, if you don't know what a bike messenger is because it's the year 2013, here's a short documentary to get you acquainted with the concept:



If that's still not driving it home for you, just imagine a living, breathing smartphone "app" that will gladly live on your couch for three months if you let it.

Anyway, here's how to observe this auspicious day:

--Hug a messenger.  I know they're scary looking, but they love hugs.
--If you can't find a messenger in your city because they're obsolete, hug a food delivery person.  If all the food delivery people in your city use cars, just go to a café in your city's trendiest neighborhood and kick a "fakenger" in the groin;
--Refrain from sending PDF attachments.  Every time you send a PDF attachment a messenger gets one less bong hit;
--Round up the kids like it's Christmas morning and smash the shit out of a fax machine;


(If you're unfamiliar with the concept of the fax machine, it was a crude device that was basically an analog PDF.)

--If your workplace lets you use messengers, messenger stuff gratuitously.  Obviously there's almost nothing that actually requires messengering anymore, so you can always just send blank paper, pens, or your stapler to your friend across town.  Also, remember: messengers get paid more for oversize items, so if you can get away with it, steal all the toilet paper from your office bathroom and messenger it to your home.  #OccupyBathroom
--If your workplace doesn't let you use messengers, you can always lure one to your workplace and give him or her a gift.  The best way to do this is by placing a fake Craigslist Missed Connection.  Here's the general template you can follow:

To the HOT messenger outside the lobby of [your work address here] - w4m - 28 (Midtown)

You had sleeve tattoos and one of those bags with a seat belt for a strap and you did that scissor-kick thing when you dismounted your bike.  When you did it your nuts slipped out through the hole in your crotch and it really turned me on.  I have a pickup for you, so please come to [your floor here] and make a premium rush to my vagina.

Dozens of messengers (all males, alas) should arrive within 20 to 30 minutes, at which point you should present them all with gifts.  Don't worry, you won't have to break the bank!  Good gifts for messengers include:

--Canned beer;
--Those ambiguous cellophane-wrapped fig cookies they sell in the delis;
--Those coily plastic arm band things so they can wear their u-lock keys on their biceps;
--Cat food (they all have cats);
--Obamacare;
--Crest teeth whitening strips




Lastly, here are some Messenger Fun Facts:

--The typical bike messenger now derives 95% of his income from feature film stunt work and energy drink sponsorship, delivering only one (1) package a year to qualify as a "working messenger" for international competitions;
--Bike messengers wear pro team kit way more egregiously than Freds, but nobody gives them crap for it;
--It is said in the Book of Proverbs, "As a dog returneth unto its vomit, so does Hollywood returneth unto the bike messenger..."


I mean seriously, have we learned nothing?

[Unrelated to bike messengers but related to the theme song, remember when everything had to have funk in it?]

Lastly, here's a dramatic "Craigslist Bicycle Ride Along:"


Now I know why every other person in Brooklyn is riding a 20 year-old Cannondale that looks like it came out of a time capsule.

Guilty. Honestly, good pizza is the MAIN thing I miss about NYC area.

I am not too particular about specific ones, but:
-there should be a glass counter with fresh pies underneath.
-The pizza guys should be south american immigrants, wearing an apron, and covered in flour.
-Refer to customers as chief or boss.
-Know what the fuck I'm talking about when I say "slice & a coke". Not, what kind of piece of pizza do you want? Plain cheese? Whole wheat crust? GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE.

Last week I was taking a brief after-work ride up through W'burg and Greenpoint on my Fred macheen though not douched-out in my Fred garb. When the giant black SUV just in front of me swerved over into the bike line and hit the brakes, nearly compressing me into the parked cars, I did a little "hi-ya" action on his rear panel with my fist of fury. Of course, when I managed to go around him, into traffic, this fine Latino specimen was all rage at me, threatening bodily harm and such, though he wasn't that serious since he didn't bother to roll down his window. And then, just a little farther down Kent on my way back home out of the hipster zone, I found myself riding the same speed beside a convertible LeBaron from the 80s for a little while. I meant to ask the two hip fellas whether it was Jon Voight's car, but I was still too shaken up from my encounter with el hefe and his SUV de muerte.

This I will tell at the next city council meeting on bicycle-vehicle interactions.

Dear Mr. Wild Cat Rock Machine --

Ixnay on eferring-ray to me as my og-day's owner.

I'd never hear the end of it.

In other news, I experienced the NYPD's kinder, gentler enforcement of traffic safety this morning.

An officer flagged me down as I was rolling to a stop at the busy intersection of Clinton, Cadman Plaza & Tillary.

The officer wanted to remind me to stop for the light I was already stopping for.

How could I complain? She was so nice about it.

My dog thought she was kind of attractive, but I reminded him that it's not a good idea play his "look at the cute doggie" card with an NYPD officer.

The potential for misunderstandings in a social context is great enough without adding handcuffs and sidearms to the mix.

Red makes you go faster, black is always cool. White with all black parts is pretty timeless.

I have noticed that West Coast pizza abortions are rubbing off on NYC. How long have they been selling the Hawaiian pizza for? How many places offer Gluten free crust? That'll prolly be a few more years off gentrification, huh?

Pizza I like is cheap, no pretense, fast, and satisfying. Like most traditional foods, there is a holy trinity of simple ingredients, dough, sauce, cheese. The west coast acts like the pizza, is an edible plate for the toppings. The pizza is just there to hold the smoked salmon, arugala and basalmic reduction. FUCK THAT NOISE.

I. Bill de-Blasé's story does not in any way explain why he no longer rides a bike. The closest thing to a reason would be something to the effect of "I have kids," which is first of all a bullshit excuse, but also can be delivered in 3 words without a boring-ass story about Montana.

II. Time for the annual "dress like a fucking carnival ride" articles. My company newsletter has an article today advising me to "make it a priority to 'be seen' when I'm out this fall and winter." Did you know for example that "More than half of the pedestrians killed in Oregon in 2012 were wearing dark clothing and walking at night or in low-light hours"? Yeah but... 100 fucking percent of them were killed BY MOTORIZED VEHICLES PILOTED BY SENTIENT HUMAN BEINGS. 1/4 of a typical city's real estate devoted to cars, some chunk of the military budget (namely the Middle-East chunk) devoted to cars, most of the road devoted to cars, all the police activity devoted to cleaning up their crashes, the courts 100% on their side...

Here is how I avoid asshole drivers:

- Ride on streets that suck for cars. Narrow, lots of stop signs, round a abouts, etc. Riding on main auto arteries is retarded. It really pisses me off when bike advocates try to get bike lanes on main arteries. Let the cars have their speedway, and bikes run in an alley or quieter residential road parallel.

- Assume cars don't see you. Assume that they are texting, stoned, drunk or otherwise distracted, and that their likely reaction will be one of aggression.

-Dress like a normal person. I swear, those neon vests scream "PELT ME WITH A SLURPEE!"
But rep the blinky lights when it's dark.

So why is it that this is not infrequent? - on a narrow rutted dirt road in the middle of state forest, a cut through from one town to another, a big white Jeep Cherokee runs me off the road...I'm doing maybe 12 mph, the Jeep 20. I catch up to the Jeep, (downhill I followed recklessly) come along side...and she's on the phone - I make the roll down yr window sign, I say, "you nearly ran right over me" , and she says "I didn't see you, sorry!" Oh, alright then - you're blind, I'm wearing RED and there are lights on my bike in the middle of the day. What will it take to get maniacs off the phone?

This comment is dedicated to all the soldiers, who left home to find, a new world. This comment is dedicated to Delta Company, 4th Battalion, 1st Infantry Division, Fort Benning Georgia, Harmony Church, to all the drill sergeants and soldiers thereof.

Yeah, I listened to all 50 minutes 16 seconds of 24-7 Spyz Gumbo Millenium.

--If your workplace lets you use messengers, messenger stuff gratuitously. Obviously there's almost nothing that actually requires messengering anymore, so you can always just send blank paper, pens, or your stapler to your friend across town.

I believe you have my red stapler.

I don't know ce, without anon the comments would probably only hit mid-70's. Sometimes anon is a tool and a troll. But sometimes anon is funny as hell.

McFly, I think you meant to reply to Comment deleted 6:41. I'm the funky one who's cool with anon's jive.

By the way, nice rant Roilie Figners.

My dog claims the title of Mr. BSNYC's book in French is what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris.

I think I shouldn't have let him watch that Quentin Tarantino marathon.

Lhota is the better mayoral candidate, but he won't win because douche bag De Blasio is playing the race and class cards. Therefore, Lhota's campaign strategy should just go all gonzo and adopt Led Zep's WHOLE LOTTA LOVE as its theme song, with a banner: WHOLE LHOTA LOVE!

I think a dental plan is a little more what a messenger needs instead of Crest whitening strips.
