All-Star Earth-Killers. The parade is pretty effing stupid—and while it’s supposedly a “green” parade, it’s just a continuous line of oversized pickup trucks (the ones with back seats) with one or maybe two All-Stars sitting there in the back. Couldn’t they just make a few floats and lump them all together? Who really gives a shit?
Meatloafing readers report from the scene:
“plus, why, why, why aren’t they wearing uniforms so we can i.d. them from 16 floors up?” —Ann
“recommendation to the city legislators: if one is going to hold a parade closing down major streets in the city, it must be a certain level of fun. perhaps 1 clown for every 500 people. 1 person in costume for every 250 people. mardi gras beads. boobs. pirates. —Ben
Last weekend marked the unofficial (but basically official—get real) start of summer. We enjoyed a BBQ, a cutthroat game of Apples to Apples, a leisurely bike ride to Rikers Island, and beautiful weather. Meatloafing offers 7 tips for a sensational summer:
Work on this season’s “it” muscle (according to Maggie, it’s the semitendinosus, the semimembranosus, and the biceps femoris, all of which make up what’s commonly known as the hamstring)
Bike often and wear a helmet
Don’t wear leggings as pants
Make sun tea in your office windowsill if you cannot actually go outdoors
Enjoy this timeless, yet often overlooked vegetable: Radishes!

Such a busy week here at the Loaf. I mean, really. Things have been hectic. So we’re just now getting to the recap of our first ever event, Meatloafing on Ice, which was a tremendous success. Great weather, good friends, and laughter. Sorry for this somewhat lame recap, but thanks everyone for showing up. Even Mike Earls made an appearance!

For the sixth year in a row, we were there, daring to dream. The 2007 New York City Marathon always inspires us. This year we felt a certain kinship to the French runners, as shown below. Vive la France!
The money shot: the fastest dudes. (Don’t be offended by the commentary, pls.)
Here’s a video of my kewl boss kicking the shit out of some poor woman. Meatloafing on Ice–ers, she’s probably gonna trip you and then skate over your fingers and then laugh when they get cut off.
The Pond at Bryant Park opens a week from this Friday. Last year was great fun. I went twice: once after my company’s holiday party when I was drunk, and another time I don’t remember. This year, we’re celebrating opening day—and also the fact that since it’s still October, we can skate without being blanketed in down, wool, Gore-Tex®, and so on. Come out and wear your best tube top.
What: Meatloafing on Ice Who: You! Where:The Pond at Bryant Park (entrance near 41st between 5th & 6th) When: Friday, October 26th at 5:30 or 6 p.m. (or something)

PLUS: A nice little video I made of people skating in Central Park. You can see The Gates in the background! (more…)
I took my mom to the Yankees home opener at the Stadium on April 2nd. A-Rod made an error the first time he touched the ball, but the Yanks managed to beat the lackluster Devil Rays.
Fast forward to Game 4 of the ALDS, my beloved Yanks down 2-1 against the Indians and needing a win to send the series back to Cleveland for a decisive Game 5. This game I needed to see on TV. I considered buying one, but I booked a post-season vacation instead. I found myself a guest in the home of “friends.” I was to watch the Yankee fate in high definition in a room full of Yankee haters. (more…)
