Ay, Gross!

So,

in keeping with my Brooklyn(ite) adventures,

the VeeBee and I had one of our own yesterday.

Whilst walking around our hood, picking up things

we needed to clean our apartment, we passed an old

broken down looking movie theater. After commenting

that we wished it were open so we wouldn't have to travel

so far, we noticed an unassuming older gent walking through

the smoky glass doors. Intrigued we walked up and peered in.

There were a few poster frames promoting movies like, "Scary

Movie" and "Freddie Got Fingered." I turned to the VeeBee

and said, "This has got to show porn! Do these places even still exist?"

We peered in again. The sign above the box office read, 'Adults $10'

'Child $4'. We pondered and then, being bold, the VeeBee went in.

He walked up to the box office, chatted for a sec, nodded his head

and then popped back out the door. "Yup, he said, its porn."

"Are you kidding?!" I said incredulously. "No," he went on, "I walked

up to the box office and there was a little Puerto Rican guy behind

the window. I asked him what kind of movies they played and in

a heavy accent he said (mimicking the accent) "Pornos.". "Gross." I said,

still disbelieving that places like that existed. For the rest of the day we felt

a bit skeeved out, but also intrigued. We googled this place and it shows one straight

porn flick, one gay porn flick and one foreign film. Yeah, cause I really want to go see

"La Dolce Vita" knowing that next door some guy is whacking it to some low rate

gay porn. Yikes! The VeeBee and I pondered how the internet had not killed off places

like this, though I suppose if you were out to watch porn and get laid at the same time

this would be a better spot than say, your living room computer. With that said, we chatted,

ate some breakfast at the local diner and had a leisurely walk about the town. Then, we

cleaned and cleaned and cleaned the apartment. I can't remember the last time scrubbing

a fridge made me break out in an epic sweat. Ay, gross. Here is to cleanliness, getting

the apartment together and getting rid of those damn coackroaches. I am waging a war

and it will be won!!!!!

Tune in next week, when I stumble across more insanity

in the coolest of the five boroughs.
