Fudgie the Whale
There is a whale in the Gowanus Canal.
Home of the filth and the gray.
As a reporter in the newsroom just said to me, this would be our lead story for tomorrow...if the world weren't quite such a fucking mess otherwise.
The last time the canal hosted anything other than petroleum ribbons was 2003, when a sad, scabrous harp seal called it home for too, too many delirium-heavy days. Gothamist says we locals apparently named it "Gowana."
I'm pretty sure that was as in, "Gowana, crazy little seal, get outta here."
I hearby name our new whale Fudgie. Gowana, Fudgie, get outta here. Brooklyn is no place like home for a whale.

Gowanus, yeah....
for more info check the rezoning issue.....
instead of cleaning the canal, developers may get some pink polyurethane whales floating around .... it's cheaper , attractive.. and it's worth paying the increased rent ,,,,,'
but ignore me , i'm just bitter
motn
turns out he/she was in the gowanus bay. so he/she avoided swimming into our tiny, filthy waterways, which doesn't mean you should...
i love the idea of pink polyurethane whales. thanks!
(bitter like haroset.)
I miss Carvel ice cream cakes. I miss those TV ads too.
tom carvel's body is being dug up again. his niece thinks he may have been murdered.

oh, and did i mention that fudgie (aka "sludgie" in the media) died? like, as we were speaking about how long he might survive in the ooze, the motherfreaking whale upped and died on us all.
so much for the miracle of life in brooklyn. back to our regularly scheduled mayhem and weird weather, i suppose.
