"I once banged Eartha Kitt in an airplane bathroom... hey, it came up organically!"

Community was such an underrated show.

That's funny! I need to see that. It keeps coming up.

Here's a similar true story. Walking around Manhattan you run into all types in real melting pot. It was 1996-1998 on 23rd between 8th and 9th Ave, always on our way somewhere, and this old gnarly seemingly drunk guy bumps into my friend who was turned around talking to us walking backwards. We all saw it coming and avoided while he got caught. The old dude half collides and interrupting pats his shoulder shouting, "Hey, I fucked Tony Curtis in the ass! In the ass!" and kept stumbling down the street with his friend as our cluster went the other way.

I have no proof that he was was or wasn't lying, but I don't know why he would. It was so joltingly random that it's burned in the memory. New York is full of that stuff.

I never did get my Robert Anton Wilson Illuminati book back from Bill with all my notes in the margin.

Wait, do I know you? Maybe I just also collided with that homeless dude. Although I hung more around Tompkins Square...

Yep. Multiple random internet sources confirm, this guy stood on the corner of 23rd and 7th shouting “I fucked Tony Curtis in the ass!” for much of the 90’s.

That's fucking HILLARIOUS! See! I didn't make it up!

Thanks so much for that!

I know what I know.

And I know a lot.

I lived a couple blocks from Tompkins Square Park for several years - on the other side of the city. In 1996 I moved to Alphabet City when it was still "dangerous" and by the time I left (the first time) in 2001 it had been gentrified.

Either way, very different parts of the city with very different vibes.

September to December 1996 was my time there. When the Yanks won their first in awhile.

I stood in line for 13 hours for $26 World Series tix. Probably the last time THAT ever happened.
