I think stuyguy was referring to the Brooklyn Museum of Art, which is jammed right up against the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens.

HAH! Caught him! It’s the BROOKLYN MUSEUM, not the Brooklyn Museum of Art! Although the Brooklyn Museum is currently devoted to art, they used to have all SORTS of shit in there…whales, dinosaurs, shrunken heads…

But I could be wrong. Perhaps he was thinking of the New York Botanic Gardens, which are in the Bronx, and BMA stands for the “Bronx Mettwurst Alliance,” a club for those devoted to delicious spreadable smoked sausage.

Pink: Nathan’s got frog’s legs? What, does he hop to work?

And don’t make fun of the Gowanus…the Riviera of Brooklyn. They’re cleaning it up! Honest! Hey, what bit me?

Caught me? Caught ME??

Hey, Uke, you want a piece of me??

I said, YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME, UKE???

BTW, before you answer, you might want to look here:

As readers of Slythe’s “Vacation Advice” thread already know, I totally endorse Slinky’s suggestion of outer-borough sightseeing and dining.

You might want to check out this link for some of my on-and-off-the-beaten path ideas in Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx… and even a bunch in Manhattan:

[Uke, I revolunteer my services to you, the officially nominated social director. (Have you been elected yet? You know you get my vote.) Let me know if I can help above and beyond my previous posts.]

Stuy, you are something special. Reading that other thread got me choked up at the thought that I’m moving next month.

Oh, well, if you’re going to wield the Awesome Power of the Internet, I’ll just have to take my dolly and dishes and go home.

Okay, you’re right, as of a few years ago that Grand Old Institution, the Brooklyn Museum, decided to go with “Brooklyn Museum of Art.” I’m not up-to-date. Flay me. Go ahead and flay me.

Soooo…I guess you call Sixth Avenue the “Avenue of the Americas” too, huh?
