even more quiddities and agonies of the ruling class - a new rolling new york times thread

i was looking for a thread on like manchildren or something to post this on but i guess this is close enough because lol nytimes not so much these guys are the ruling class

"Shyaporn Theerakulstit, actor and audiobook narrator"

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/05/fashion/montauk-feels-the-effects-of-too-many-hipsters.html

In the meantime, longtime residents are left to harken back to that first crowd that had to endure an invasion of newcomers, the Montauket tribe. As Mr. Devlin’s wife, Eileen, joked on Friday as the restaurant prepared for another busy night, “Now I know how the Indians felt.”

Nope. No you don't.

it notes clearly that she was joking

yah what gives

Another showed a rifle and the words “Defend Montauk.”

this was hilarious! The comments, though, are mostly horrifying.

quiddities thread has made me insensitive to the real articles, i want all the stupid setup cut so i can get right to the aughs

so by hipster they just mean young money?

well

If by hipster you mean a person that doesn't just jump on the patriotic bandwagon, then sure.

wrong thread lol

haha I thought you did that on purpose. it worked.

For the past eight months Mr. Brown has been dating Monica Ross, 25, a bartender and actress. “She was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar,” said Mr. Brown of the night they met.

this has to have been intentional, right?? also how do you think she feels about her name being two friends characters

this isn't actually the NYT and sort of not appropriate for this thread but i don't know where else it goes?

http://nymag.com/news/business/themoney/jeff-greene-2012-8/

couldn't get past: “I wish we could spend more time here,” he says. “Honestly, we have so many great homes.”

Mo homes you got, the mo agonies you have

Greene calls his loss “a huge mistake on behalf of the people of Florida.”

“I wasn’t as crazy as I was perceived to be,” he says in his defense.

hahah

Etc. etc.

like, let them eat cake x infinity.

"Then someone always gets chicken potpie and potato salad from D.D., you know, Dean & Deluca. If I can't afford D.D., I just don't eat."

so many quotable lines though. would end up just cutting & pasting the whole damn thing.

literally lots of cake. awesome,

'Sometimes I forget to eat'

'Me and André were going to open a salt store.'

love molly but i couldn't read that whole thing.

I think there is a natural curiosity that many people have when they hear about an actor writing fiction.
lol

That post is like the main character's flashback monologues in Airplane -- I'd wind up hanging myself before it was over.

is crashing with strangers with air-conditioned suburban homes a "thing" in New York?

slash do New Jersey homeowners frequently allow strangers to wander in and sleep there for no reason?

"crazy person takes advantage of feeble-minded riches" is so far from a trend that I don't know what to think about what's going on here

On Sunday, Ms. Schwab drives the guest to the train station.

“As she’s getting out she says to me, ‘Oh, yeah, I didn’t have time to get to the cash machine, so I went to your purse and took some cash,’ ” Ms. Schwab says. “It was basically everything I had taken out of the A.T.M. the night before, $100.”

WHO DOES THIS NOBODY DOES THIS EXCEPT SCAM ARTISTS AND CRIMINALS WTF

I kind of like the beginning of that guest article, it's like they present it as though it's going to be a quiddity thing but instead it is a nightmare

True, you could snatch one of the soggy towels left on the newly finished floors of the guest bedroom, hold it firmly over the guest’s mouth and nose, and bring your misery to an end, but the courts frown on such behavior and you’d have the problem of getting rid of the body.

Houseguests can be a real pain! For example, some are sociopaths!

yeah but why do you let them into yr house in the first place?

Because they're friends of friends IE presumed members of the ruling class. Possibly holding a copy of the New York Times in their convulsively clutching hands.

If you show up at any house in the Hamptons with a print copy of your wedding announcement from the NYT they are required by law to let you stay in the guest room for one week.

Can't keep up with all threads. Is there a UK quiddities? Has this been linked yet?

My many bookshelves are covered in dust, as they should be.

Nothing wrong with trying to stay neat. As a bachelor I gave up, now that I’m a married man in a new home I am making a bit of an effort (it helps my spouse is a clean person who tries to declutter).

Aww! My family house where we grew up was named "The Cedars" long before we got there. It was sweet. No one called it that, there was just a very picturesque old plaque on the gate to the driveway.

My mum's house in devon has a name. Last time I sent her a package the lady at a midtown USPS rolled her eyes at me when she had to copy out the address.

This Daily ep about Mexican cartels doing timeshare fraud is quite something. I cannot stop thinking about the retired state cop who sent this supposed Mexican businessman a million bucks, his entire retirement savings PLUS money he had to borrow! because he's a retired law enforcement official who "has a pretty good sense about people." Do you though. And of course his wife "had doubts" but the little lady doesn't handle their money.

People who defraud seniors are evil, beneath contempt--no question. But this is a funny case for the NYT to choose to cover.

And by funny I mean it's very NYT of them.

Well it sounds like an entertaining story at least, I want to listen to it now
