This Is What Was, Last Week

18 Aug

August 18, 2016

It was a great week for news! Mr. BTR was everywhere!

Hilary Clinton continued to make headlines with her foreign policy of “Donald Trump is scary,” her domestic policy of “Donald Trump is divisive,” and her jobs plan of “Donald Trump plans to wage war on the human race.” Trump, on the other hand, had to deal with a kook scaling his Trump Tower with suction cups and a bizarre plan to plant the Mr. Blog’s Tepid Flag on the roof.

He may not have made it, but I got more than my money’s worth in free advertising. 

It didn’t so shit for this blog though. You should see how bad the stats get during the summer months!

Meanwhile, speaking of millionaires with inflated egos, Alex Rodriguez retired was pushed out by the Yankees since A- he sucks and B- no one can stand him. In his pregame ceremony prior to his last game, the skies opened up and rained on his parade. Literally. As the New York Post put it, “God hates A-Rod.” And why not? It’s not like God has the patience of a saint. 

However, in his post-game press conference, A-Roid had nothing but praise for the Yankee organization, his teammates, and of course Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride.

Love him or hate him, but the man has taste.

The Rio Olympics are going on. Who knows where this blog will pop up in the coverage?
Probably nowhere. I’m paying zero attention to the Olympics.

Brooklyn Graffiti Update: Never Wipe Returns!

16 Jul

July 15, 2016

Beginning in 2010, I documented strange graffiti that was written across Brooklyn. Someone was spray painting “NEVER WIPE” or sometimes “I NEVER WIPE” on poles, walls, and construction sites. Even after it was covered over, it came back in 2015 as “NEVER WIPE 5.0.

You can read the original 2010 post and the 2015 update for larger pictures and some background.

I was driving past the site of the 5.0 graffiti last week. I had been covered over again by more graffiti for some time but the city replaced the old concrete barricades with brand new, clean barricades. But they didn’t stay clean for long.

I don’t know who’s behind it, but Never Wipe was the first one to inaugurate the wall. I think it’s interesting that it’s still 5.0 and not 6 or 7.0 by this time. It’s hard to tell though, but if you zoom in there may be a subscript 1. This may be NEVER WIPE 5.01.

I haven’t seen it anywhere else, and I’ve been looking. If I find it anywhere else, I’ll post it here. If you see it anywhere, send in a picture and I’ll send you an official Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride pen. I only have a few left!
