One-Eyed Frank

Four years ago I was obsessed with cut-rate, old-timey gangster type characters like those hambones in the Dick Tracy movie and what I thought the Sopranos MIGHT be before we actually watched it 9 times over. For my 1/2 birthday that year, Frankie gifted me with his “One-Eyed Frank” act which had a lot of “Geez Louise”, “Listen Bub!”, and “Yeah sure, that’s what I’ll do!” all while pointing his finger guns at me. What a pal!

The 5 Orbs

The 5 Orbs are a Doo-Wop group that hang out on Sorgum Ave in the 6th Borough. They’re getting a little scratchy, losing some of their luster and are starting to fade away a bit, which is kind of sad. Mostly they just complain and bicker with each other (like most everyone else in the 6th). But on a good day they can still belt out their hit tune, “Where Did My Green Light Go?” almost as bright as when they were young diodes.

QuarterBack Interview

Besides featuring cool junk, old photos, scratchy music and other kinds of weird bullshit, The SHLOG also functions as a news platform. We aspire to tell gripping Human-Interest stories that try to answer that great question: “What’s really going on in the world today?”. Maybe someday we’ll get to the heights that the NY Post reaches on a daily basis. Here’s a clip from a hard hitting interview with the NY Jets new QuarterBack from yesterday’s paper.

They really won the seatbelt war. Now they have to win the cell phone battle. Do you realize how many idiots can barely drive without being on the phone? Our kids are out there crossing those streets!
