Tony Avella looks perplexed or perhaps a bit disgusted at a meeting. Why?
Maybe he's watching his colleague drink juice right out of the carton.*Photos from Pardon Me for Asking
* Post is meant to be a joke. Since several readers can't figure this out, I will now clearly mark posts as such.

it is a 16 oz container
let me guess crappy when you go to the deli you take your 16oz tropicana and go home and put in a a crystal glass.
crappy you are freaking loser who has nothing better to do than bitch and moan about everything
get a freaking life already
loser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sorry, but drinking out of a carton is low-class. At least drink with a straw!
Crappy has a point, Council meetings should be catered and drinks served in their respective stemware.
Slow news day is it?
I actually meant this post to be a joke, to have some fun with Melinda and Tony. It's Friday. Lighten up, folks.
Anonymous #1 is obviously one of those bike riding assholes who doesn't drink enough OJ or eat enough fiber.
I might believe you crappy, if I didn't see some of te other drivel that you try to pass off as news.
Considering that 90% of what is posted here is excerpts from other news stories and the rest is photos of shitty-looking buildings, I'm not sure what you're referring to. And I don't "report news". This is an opinion blog, not a newspaper.
The way the media is in this city, it's hard to tell the difference between opinion and news sometimes.
P.S. The post about Joe Addabbo in a turban was a joke, too.
The proles on this board who don't realize that Crappy is engaging in satire are the same kind of morons who read Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" and think he's advocating cannibalism.
Even Ridgewoodian has a sliver of a sense of humor!
I just introduced a bill in the city council to ban drinking out of carboard cartons citywide. Studies show that it just tastes bad and I don't want any of current or future constituents to have to suffer any bitter taste so orange growers in florida can make money.
I'm looking out for y'all since I know none of you can look out of yourselves.
What does Avella's button say?

It's one of those Kim Il Sung buttons that all loyal members of the party wear.
It says: "Enjoy me while it lasts, Paul is on his way."

Oh my goodness, an avid reader of a Queens weakly! Cover to cover and LEARNS something!
yea, like
QUEENS NEEDS DEVELOPMENT!
or TWEEDED! VIBRANT! THRIVING!
or MACHINE CANDIDATE WISE BEYOND YEARS!
Never, but never drink OJ out of a carton while riding your bike!
... or tearing down a 150 year old building for a human warehouse?
... or planning for new hotels in Dutch Kills?
Hey, Melinda-San: is that you as anon # 1? Why so crabby? Baby crying keeps you awake all night?
Time to get a real job. One that has paychecks for producing, not kickbacks for sticking your head up a developer's ass.
... drawing lines for rezoning? (God knows what damage a spot on the page can do)
WADE NICHOLS: Even Ridgewoodian has a sliver of a sense of humor!
Thanks...I think. Nice to know I'm remembered on a thread I hadn't even posted on. May Allah smile on you.
I'm not sure what the problem with drinking OJ out of a carton is. Has Emily Post forbidden it? I did it once while giving a lecture on Uncle Tom's Cabin and I got an A+ in the class
FYI: Jonathan Swift was a notorious cannibal.

Well if you GIVING the lecture, why were you then graded on it?
Just curious.
He gave a demonstration of his tweeding skills for Joe Crowley.
ANONYMOUS: Well if you GIVING the lecture, why were you then graded on it?
It was part of a class. I had to talk about Uncle Tom's Cabin - which, historically important as it is is a pretty dreadful book - for half an hour or so. I think I compared and contrasted it with Leni Riefenstahl's Olympia. But I hardly remember since I was suffering from just about the worst head cold ever, which is why I was chugging the OJ.
And I don't "report news". This is an opinion blog, not a newspaper.

Oh don't worry I know that this is the last place to come for news, but thanks for clarifying for others who may believe it is. This is the right place to come for conspiracy theories, opinions (one sided though) and smears against those that don't fall in line with your political agenda.
Actually, I totally diagree. I think this is a great site to get local political news. In fact, I check it out daily.

Thanks Crappy!
May Allah smile on you.
Ridgewoodian: Give my regards to Sheikh Yerbouti when you see him at your Friday prayers today. I understand that since disco isn't popular much anymore, the Sheikh no longer goes out night clubbing, and has returned to the ummah.

Because the "fellow travelers" and "Tweeded" operatives of the Queens Machine that troll this website don't have a sense of humor! They won't laugh unless their handlers tell them to!

Well well well, when the machine gets a dose of its own medicine, they howl.
Ever try to express an opinion in a newspaper covering a Queens topic and have it reported correctly, fair, or balanced if it goes against the machine?
Back in the USSR, baby!

I'm actually skipping prayers tonight to see the (1st place) Mets kick a little infidel Cardinal ass, and scoreboard watch while the (1st place) Nation smacks down the evil Empire, followed by a Merengue Night concert, and maybe drinks and burgers at Donovan's. When it comes to baseball and the eternal salvation of my soul it's baseball every time.

He is, he just won't admit it publicly. He was in the same convert class as Taliban John/Johnny Jihad, formerly known as John Phillip Walker Lindh. Ridgewoodian got lucky though, his minders in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan kept him in the U.S. rather then sending him to Afghanistan, so he avoided the fate of Taliban John. His minders have graciously loaned him to the "Queens Machine" on a temporary basis, in return for political favors. My sources have told me that Ridgewoodian's full name now is Omar Abdul-Jabbar Rahman Muhammad Ridgewoodian.
Aren't all opinions one-sided?

Not all - just the ones expressed here. Try to say something pro-development or pro-government and watch how quickly your post get deleted by Crappy. It's almost as if opposition does not exist. If you are like minded, simple minded, or mindless, you'll enjoy Crappy's fare. If you are looking for serious debate on the issues go elsewhere.
I haven't moderated comments in weeks. Want a dorm in LIC? Want a hotel in Maspeth? Want a condo in Flushing? Want to say how great you think the Bloomberg administration is? Blog away. We can handle it.
Whatever... True to your name you are full of shit Crappy. Save your lies for someone who doesn't know better.
Very intelligent response. And I'm leaving it there for the world to see.

Yes, my opinions are one sided. That's what makes them mine. If you agree that's fine, if not, that's fine too.
Are your opinions so valuable that they can't withstand some criticism?

I've never seen that kind of censorship. The fact is that there are a lot of us that are disaffected when it comes to our local and state governments. And it's our right to speak up if we are.

Point counterpoint. Is this the best you have to offer?
This was humor, sorry you didn't get it.

Are you implying that Ridgewoodian is..is...a draft dodger?
I must say Melinda Katz actually looks pretty good in that picture.
I haven't moderated comments in weeks.
not true. Last week you took down a thread because it attacked the sacred JPCA
He also deleted about 10 posts and edited a letter submission to sanitize obvious and numerous inaccuracies in the "Lastest on CUNY Dorms" thread last week. This was done because the inaccuracies in the letter was "distracting from the main point."
Ridgewoodian:
You compared Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin, with Leni Riefenstahl's documentary movie, Olympia?
I am astounded. There are similarities?
How does attacking private citizens via anonymous comments add to the discourse about overdevelopment, political corruption and general crap in Queens that this blog is about? Why not write your own blog if this what you want to waste your life doing? I live in Flushing and really don't care to hear about your gripes with your civic group when I visit this site.

hahahahahahehehehehehehohohoho
Yea, like going to a community board meeting, or just about any official city meeting, or the editorial office of any city newspaper.
Fortunately, no one believes you.
The point here, bozos, is this blog, by the people, exposes the false veneer that the developers and politicans (and their hangers on) have created.
That the public has an unfettered access to EACH OTHER to comment drives them nuts.
They know, that unless there is someway to clutter the blog with bozos like Ridgewoodian (whose inanities just helps things along) their days of complete control are numbered.
What is Crappie? Why its a little mosquito buzzing into the ear of a sleeping giant -- the public (who has been on purposely lulled into this dozy state so the machine can have its way with her.)
Any if you ever wanted to know the power of the little guy, just fall asleep in a room with him.

This was a long time ago, in the early '90s and I was sick and feverish so I don't remember the ins and outs of everything I said. I think I spoke of them both as propaganda. I was probably trying to be a bit provocative since this was an era of excessive PC in English Departments. The prof. was more interested in political engagement and questions of gender than she was in aesthetic achievement ("'Moby-Dick': who cares?"). So I wanted to rub her nose in a woman-created politically engaged work that was arguably made in support of a despicable ideology - but that was, nevertheless, an incredible aesthetic achievement. Certainly a greater achievement than Uncle Tom's Cabin. To her credit, the prof. gave me a good grade.
To borrow a line
from "Boys In The Band",
she's had "worse things in her mouth"!
Administering political "BJs" are all in a day's work for this adept courtesan of the NYC real estate industry!
Yes, but isn't she a lesbian?
For enough $$$$$$.....
"alley" Katz will swing both ways!
So Melinda swallows (from a container) rather than suck
(through a straw).
The builders' BJ queen.....
none the less!
