Are The Folks At Gawker On Crack?

where men make news, women make novels and sometimes sculptures, and the kids get super educations, and connections.

This kind of drivel makes me want to "decamp" to Clifton.

Now, if there'd also been some mention of Montclair's rare, nendangered and non-outback marsupial population.....

Hey, I'm away on my writers' retreat, where I have to hike out into a cornfield to get online, and this was the first time I heard about this. It WAS outrageous -- not only all guys, but all white guys! I already yelled at my husband so now I hope you'll set Gawker straight....

I am an elderly resident on forest ave. and I would like to know where all the parents were while their teenagers were out by the hundreds loitering and being disorderly by drinking alcohol, smoking marijuana and hitting police cars with items while they ran. What is this coming to. You parens are an absolute disgrace. I hope your rotten scoundrels get sent to a jevenile deentention center down Newark.

Yeah, all white guys on the shady side of 45. Has middle age become the new hip?

I'm the Iceman and I will not be ignored...what's wrong with these people.

Don't forget - it's March time for 'Marsupial Madness'

Maybe if people here weren't so snarky the site might have been given a mention in the column. Just a thought.

'Marsupial Madness'

Is that like Mussel Madness at Church St. Cafe?

Will they serve marsupial stew, marsupial omlets, marsupial au vin?

Would anyone who posts here even WANT to see some mention in Gawker of Baristanet? I mean, Gawker? Who's kidding who here as to that site's social value? And at the cost of cutting even some of the snark? I doubt that very much. I personally wouldn't even want to hang out with any of the "celebs" Gawker listed as residing in Montclair. (Who may of course post themselves here under assorted names for all I know.)

March is also Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, Walleroo. Did you know that colorectal cancer is the nation's second leading cancer killer?

Oh, Gawker, the writing and slop is nauseating. Yes, I noticed the white male middle age gaggle. Well, so much for the diversity the writer drooled about.

Suddenly, Bloomfield is looking better, although I would lose the Montclair Panache (or is that a restaurant?)

Yes, Montclair Panache is the new restaurant that is opening up at the train station.

I'm keeping my eyes on you Cathar...be a nice boy, won't you?

Will they serve marsupial stew, marsupial omlets, marsupial au vin?

Yes, and marsupial on a stick!

I'm keeping my eyes on you Cathar...be a nice boy, won't you?

Oh, and Marsupial Parmigiana!

Can that be made the south beach way?

Yes it can. Only use skim milk cheese and don't brown it in oil use PAM.

You'll have a nutritional dinner without many carbs.

How else could they have written a whole love letter to Montclair, NJ without mentioning the town's own Gawkeresque blog, Baristanet?

Because your day job isn't in Manhattan. Gawker is NYC-based ... you know, the center of the world ...

I'm not sure I like where this is going. On a stick, indeed.

Walleroo is 28% leaner than beef.

He's the "other" white meat!

stay away clever rust belters

Who cares about the foreign press? I'll bet that those Gawkeresque folks coudn't tell a Texas Weiner (they would probalby spell it Texas Wiener) from an Italian Hot Dog.

why are all you liberals about the white meat and vegatable burgers? Eat some beef you hippies.

Hey Gawker, forget these media types... where but in Montclair could you find such eclectic and, uh,useful offerings as Womb Yoga! http://www.montclairtimes.com/page.php?page=14338
That's right, yoga for the womb. Now if only they would offer pilates for the other half...

would that be Penis Pilates? I'd like to seethe machines for that.

look at this and imagine

OHHHWEEE

Pilates called his method Contrology, which refers to the way the method encourages the use of the mind to control the muscles

People.
It's Gawker.
They're in New York City. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
Remember, those are the people that brought you that view of the U.S. magazine cover. (Full disclosure: I saw the original at the exhibition at the MAM, uh, no, the Morgan.
It's a snarky media website. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
They're just not that into your suburban website.
When you get all petty and petulant about it, it kind of reinforces the "inferiority gap."

I like my meat dark. The darker the meat the seater the treat!

seater = sweeter

Yes, the folks at Gawker are on crack. Gimme another one. I'm good at this. :)

And the charade of appearance over substance continues. The west side and slope yuppie marching suckers(apologies to Kornbluth) will continue to arrive in droves to pursue the illusion. At least there's some comfort that when the Times goes belly up the flood will ebb. The saps already here will be stuck with their overpriced, charming facaded but aging high maintenanced, over taxed governed by montebanks, real estate.

No, the folks on Gawker are not on crack, they are on prescription meds.
Legal meds. Meds that their medical plan helps to pay for.

Those kinds of meds.

Uhmmm.. gawker emailed me and said they were doing a piece on all the media types in montclair. Ho hum, Is this a new story? (The story to do now is journos priced out and no longer feeling its their town..you need to be a millionaire.) In my three line email, I said 'oh yeah there are a lot of journos, and my wife has a list of 500, men and women. There's even a bunch of us used who play hockey together (men and women btw). But South Orange and Maplewood is where scribes (hate that word) go now..Please don't picket my house.

Decamp is referenced in the Gawker piece, both as a verb and proper noun. However, let future Montclair immigrants be forewarned of the perils of commuting the DeCamp way.

Scene: last night’s 7:00 pm #33 leaving PABT for Montclair. Enter: Amazingly obnoxious dad (AOD) with shaved head and 2 young children in tow. AOD demands an explanation from bus driver as to why he was sent by the DeCamp dispatcher to the wrong gate to wait for bus. Bus driver says he doesn’t know and immediately takes umbrage. Scary yelling match ensues, resulting in bus driver ordering AOD and his two poor kids to exit bus. AOD further berates bus driver, refuses to leave, and heads to the back of the bus with two frightened children. Bus driver goes for cops, while bus passengers complain and grouse about DeCamp and Gestapo-style tactics. Cops come for father who initially refuses to “decamp” DeCamp. Thankfully, he finally relents and gets off bus with his two poor, innocent kids running after him crying out “Papa!”

Very frightening situation. Hard to know who was more at fault – the obnoxious dad, or the recalcitrant bus driver. All in all, a very, very unpleasant way to transition from NYC to Montclair on an otherwise lovely Sunday evening.

Amazingly Obnoxious Dad is obviously off his rocker.

How would a bus driver know the reason why the dispatcher inside the building gave misinformation or correct information that was misinterpreted by a person who shouldn't be setting an example for anyone's children, especially his own who must suffer every day?

I was on said 33 bus last night and the AOD started off by asking the driver, "Why am I the last one to board the bus when I was here 15 minutes before the bus arrived?" He kept asking the same question despite the driver saying that it had nothing to do with him. It was kinda scary in a way. And right before that, a guy with a slicked back pompadour who looked like an Elvis impersonator was giving same said driver a hard time about another Decamp driver on an entirely different route! I saw this Elvis-guy turning red in the face on his cell berating someone. It seems that he needed to get off at one of the exits on Route 3 and the 66 driver told him he doesn't stop there. Holy frijole! So, after AOD was asked by the police officers to disembark, then Elvis-guy chimed in about Nazi tactics. 99% of us passengers were not griping.

I'm with the driver. He handled it correctly.

I was sitting right across from Elvis, up one row. He was trying to phone the owner of DeCamp. He told the customer service person to have the owner give him a call so he could give the owner "what for". Right.

Anyway, I have to say I agree with you. While the driver was pretty heavy-handed, the father was non-rational, and I felt particularly sorry for his kids.

This is why I don't ride the 66: Lots of entitlement issues. After riding the 33 for many years, I've discovered that DeCamp is a lot more receptive to and effective at handling customer complaints when you call before or after your ride in a civilized tone.

As for the Gawker snub, I agree with an earlier post: They're a NEW YORK blog. They honestly don't give a damn about this operation because it has nothing to do with them or their story. Believe it or not, Baristanet is not intrinsically tied to this area of yet. Yogi, yes. Barista no.

Also, the Barista crowd tends to skew a bit older. Most Barista posters would be Menudoed off Gawker.

Of note, the original Gawker link to this article that I sent Barista came to me via a Barista ex-pat in Brooklyn who received it from someone in Los Angeles.
