Wesh snapped this a few years back in Red Hook, Brooklyn, while walking from his brother’s rehearsal dinner to the after-party bar.
Says Wesh: “What gets me are the flags. Why flags?”
(How bougie does Park Slope’s version look in comparison?)
What is it about dog shit that pushes Brooklynites over the edge?

This one is my favorite, I love the flags, great effort, really, and leaving out the object of the sentence and replacing it with random obscenities and threats really conveys the author’s frustration

On the other hand, there’s just passive.

I think this may be outside the VFW hall, hence the flags

this makes me wish I lived there just so I could let my dogs shit there. Hell I’d steal neighborhood dogs and let them shit there as well. I might shit there myself.

It makes me want to sing the American anthem out of tune.

that’s one of the biggest drags about living in a city: the dog shit.
then again, mountain lion crap is no joy to step in, either

“I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free . . .” to hunt down and mercilessly beat someone who doesn’t pick up their dog’s poo, or rather, their dog’s mother fucker’s poo, but not without a fair warning, of course.

I think a better title for this PAN is “A dog shits in Brooklyn.”

People are ridiculous here. I mean, there are a shit load of dogs (and therefore a shit load of shit) but some people have entire shrines of ‘curb your dog’ signs in their front yards. They even paint that shit on the sidewalk. BROOKLYN.
