I looked up the "butt scavenger hunt" so you don't have to:
23 ఏప్రిల్, 2026
"You can get married at the New York Marble Cemetery on Second Avenue/The Balloon Saloon in Tribeca has the best gag gifts and the biggest fake poops in town."
"Avoid trampoline parks at all costs. Throw a less chaotic kids’ party instead at Twinkle PlaySpace in Williamsburg. For $399, hire NY Teacup Piggies to bring in three piglets for the young partygoers to play with.... Call Beverly Fish at Chezzam for out-of-the-box entertainment — think actors in rat costumes serving a cheese platter.... You can hire a babysitter to walk your child (ages 4 to 15) from school to your home (or wherever they need to go) using the service Trot My Tot. You’ll pay a maximum of $25 per hour.... Cheeky tweens tend to enjoy the 'butt scavenger hunt' at the Brooklyn Museum; ask for it at admissions.... "

260- If you own a pied-a-terre with a valuation close to or more then $5 million SELL NOW! GET OUT!
Tweens like a "butt scavenger hunt"?
My husband got our 4-year-old through a number of Italian museums back in the day by this tactic (looking for "bottoms and doodles"). I would've thought that today's tweens would be SO over it.
(Our little son, upon seeing Michaelangelo's David, said loudly, "His doodle is so big!" An American tourist nearby, a woman of 50 or so, commented, "I was thinking the same thing!" This same kid, upon reaching the top of the stairs in the Duomo 's Bell Tower, announced, "Jesus loves me!" to the delight of everybody up there.)
$399 to rent a few piglets? I'm in the wrong line of business.
Does it have a map of the real, human poop to avoid on the sidewalk? CC, JSM
There are only 259 things New Yorkers should know?
I bet the NYT's list of things New Yorkers should not know is much longer.
If you own a pied-a-terre with a valuation close to or more then $5 million SELL NOW! GET OUT!
Good idea! The number of expensive condos and housesbought up by foreign oligarchs to park their ill-gotten gains (and never go to their investments) may not be as bad as London (where entire neighborhoods are full of empty but not for sale houses), but is still criminal. If it were less profitable to sell $5 million condos as second, third, or tenth homes, maybe there could be more affordable houses for that poor couple Ann highlighted a couple weeks ago that was only making $500 K a year.
Trampoline parks are fun for kids.
Fuck the left.
Will the perverted left ever give up their grooming schemes?
Is there one of those guides for boobs in the Museum?

Poor piglets, closed up in a pen with feral children.
I'm assuming anyone who rents piglets as party toys for children is not going to be standing nearby to tell them not to grab at or chase the piglets.

The left love theft. and because Bezos didn't promote and pimp idiot puppet kamala (D-embarrassment/ McDonald;s song) the left will do anything to harm Bezos.
Bezos is not pro-Trump - he just didn't want his wapo to endorse anyone. That alone inspires hate fueled leftists lash out.
Seems weird that they are so obsessed with forcing their predilections on everyone else. But it’s the era of cringe and overshare, I guess.
I like the idea of the piggies but don't think it goes far enough. It reminded me of my 3rd grade school in Alexandria VA in the 50s. We got a small piglet and raised it to full size as a class project. Parents would take turns driving students in on the weekends with to feed it. When it reached full size, the 3rd grade hosted all grades and parents to a barbecue.
At the barbecue the 3rd graders, with parents, and the shop teacher's help, we strung the pig up, conked it on the head, slit it's throat, eviscerated it and put it on a pole. Then we slow roasted it and ate it.
That is what the kids should do for a birthday activity.
We also visited a slaughterhouse in 2nd grade and saw the entire process from mooing cows to hamburger.
Gave us an appreciation for where food comes from.

Reading this, I got a weird vision in my head. I had died, went to Heaven and was talking with St Peter about getting in.
He tells me "John, you don't quite qualify. Not bad enough for Hell, though. Here's what we're gonna do: We are gooing to send you back into a 2nd life as a pig. Not just any pig, though, you'd like that too much, just lying around in shit.
No, what we're gonna do is send you back as a pet piglet. You are going to go to birthday parties and kids will play with you."
Me: "Can I just go to Hell instead? Please?"

In a favorite story from a Patrick McManus book, Pat and two of his friends are passing a farm in Pat's station wagon and notice a sign that there are piglets for sale. This apparently seems like an opportunity, and they decide to buy - I think six, two for each of them to raise, which they'll then slaughter and have processed.
The farmer gives each of them a sack, saying that he just said he'd sell them piglets, not that he'd catch them for them. Hilarity ensues, but eventually they catch all six, and into the back of the station wagon they go.
Of course, a piglet manages to work its way free from its sack and stages a jailbreak of its fellows. So now there are two men trying to recapture six crazed piglets as Pat strives to keep the car on the road. They are pulled over, because he's weaving and swerving and whatnot. The officer approached the driver's side window and asks, "Just what do you boys think you're doing?" And the answer is, "Stuffing pigs in sacks," with one man sheepishly holding up an empty sack as evidence of the innocence of their pursuit. Nonplussed, the officer sends them on their way, adjuring them never to let him catch them stuffing pigs in sacks again.
Pat's closing sentiment, if memory serves, is along the lines of, "Seldom have I been so confident in making an assurance."
I love Patrick McManus.

It's been my experience that New Yorkers already know everything.

…this is the kind of incomprehensibly stupid economic thinking that results when academia deems it virtuous to loathe finance. Also why the rest of us will have to save their sorry asses when their city falls apart like Detroit on meth….
I’d like to give partial credit for recognizing that if condo owners flood the market with units when there’s a buyer’s strike at current price levels, those market forces will force a price collapse- very good. Unfortunately you miss the secondary effects that the tax base is destroyed because now more units fall below the $5 million threshold and as the market seeks a new lower clearing price the valuations the new valuations destroy the regular real estate tax base, too. Lose/lose…

I see now that the New York Times left the “petty theft”option for the main newspaper. Probably because they want that to be a national movement not confined to NYC.
Thats how we ended up with wholesale looting in the big cities
