Brooklyn Bridge Banana Hammock Bikini Boy

Wow.

Brooklyn Bridge Banana Hammock Bikini Boy

I don't think you're ready for this jelly. They don't make white grape jelly, do they?

Becca and I just got back from Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park, which is a quick walk from our apartment. Our first visit to the park was last summer, not long after we'd moved to Brooklyn. We saw this incredibly white man wearing a yellow g-string and sitting in a cross-legged yoga position. He was a truly amazing sight. In fact, when Rob Base was in town a few weeks ago, we strolled down to the park with some tasty treats from the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory, and Becca and I regaled him with tales of the g-string bandit. But, alas, he was not to be seen that day.

Today, we headed down to the park with the basic beach supplies: a book to read, an iPod to listen to, and a Smurf sheet to lay out on. Oh, and a camera (thank goodness). It didn't take long to notice that our nut-smuggling friend was back in action. Our sunglasses were no match for his pasty white flesh. It may be hard to see his thongs in the photo, but that's just because they are about 4mm thick.

We hung out and watched several Miami Vice-like fast boats (fluorescent stripes and all) cruise up the East River, until the clouds started rolling in and they had to shut down the park because this guy's lightning rod was endangering us all.

More pics here!

a.k.a. Brooklyn Bridge Park

I motion that we rename it Brooklyn Bridge Park; it's name is just too freaking long. This area is currently my favorite lay around spot because all these bridges surround you, plus the Manhattan buildings are just over yonder of course with their beauty; so you really feel the NYC. Also, Mr. Thong has come out of his hole for his annual summer sun... I must mention that this year his yellow american mustard thong is now more of a spicy mustard. The color just isn't what it used to be since last summer. So you've got bridges, buildings, and his spicy ass captivating your attention while you soak up the heat and sun. It's like even when the ipod and cell phone batteries die, you don't give a shit. Because all in all, it is oh so lovely with or without you and accessories. It must have been like Buddha in Deer Park. I think we have found our weekend summer routine.

Sweet Merciful Crap!

I sorta believed you guys when you told me the story of the g-string bandit. But it was one of those things where clearly the myth grows with time and tales becoming larger and larger until it scarcely resembles it's true form. Oh, how I was wrong to have ever doubted you two! In that one picture alone, it is certain that you were infact DOWNPLAYING the absurdity of such a man (if one can even call him that). It seems as though you two have had quite the summer so far. Pig roasts, BBQ fests, and g-string bandits. Next up...July 4th. I can't wait to read what adventures are in store!

Underoo Update

Becca and I jogged through the park today and there he was again, "sunny side up," right by a family picnic. It looked like he had one of those mini bananas balanced on top of his lap. Yes, it was the same yellow thong. Unless maybe he has an identical pair for each day of the week. You know, like Mr. Rogers and all those damn sweaters.

White After Memorial Day

Took a walk around Pier 1 of the new section of Brooklyn Bridge Park (south of the Brooklyn Bridge, whereas the sightings above were on the existing section to the north) on Monday. Brooklyn Bridge Banana Hammock Bikini Boy (or BBBHBB) was there - full blast. I think the first sighting of the season marks the official start of summer. Kind of appropriate that it fell on Memorial Day this year. There were several women in bikinis lounging about, but they all paled in comparison - though it's nearly impossible to be pale in comparison to Bikini Boy.

Oh, and I came across this footage today (from Flickr user unjendefille), which is pretty much the ultimate:
