Hey, did you hear on the news about the homeless guy that won one of those $400 couches the new BK Ikea was giving away opening day? Me neither, but apparently some lucky guy that had no clue that the chain was setting up shop, he unknowingly created the line frenzy, by just simply lying down where normally sleeps. "Bubbles" as he refers to himself as, had this to say to the media. "I've been sleeping out here for years, cause I love to be by the water. It's so peaceful and quite. Then this damn blue monstrosity went up right under mydamn nose! I musta slept through the whole f**kin thing! Got up one morning to wash up, next thing you know, some cheery ass lady smiling, came up to me saying, I now own a couch!" Some reporter then without missing a beat asks "So what are you going do with it now, with no home?" He snapped back,"They pay you to ask stupid questions boy? It's a pull-out couch! What the f**k ya think...Imma go take my ass back to sleep on that sonofabitch! No more questions!" Anybody got change?

"Brooklyn Bunny"- Bugs Is From Bk?
Just a couple of days ago, someone had questioned the noticable pattern of vintage Mickey Mouse sweaters I had been wearing of recent. My only answer I had to give for the reason why is, "Oh, well he's iconic worldwide...Like i hope to be. Plus it's a great conversation starter." However, truth be told, deep down I'm a diehard Bugs Bunny fan. Always have, always will. Other than the image and artistic design of Mickey, the cartoon itself I never found funny, which I always thought cartoons should be right? I always dug Bugs simply because, in damn near every feature he was in, the premise was basically the same; He's going about his everyday business, someone comes along and interrupts his good time, and then he spends the rest of the episode making them understand "don't eff with Bugs!" You'll lost everytime. Anyway, that's why I was so drawn to his character, since the days of my youth. Now here's the other the reason, besides the obvious accent, he was from my hometown of Brooklyn! Yep, don't believe me well I've uncovered undenible proof to support my case that he was a BK bunny..."What up NOW Doc!" Enjoy
