I Just Thesaurused “Poser”

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

So somebody out in San Fran thinks he got big enough britches to whup his old man? In an unprovoked act of blog douchery, 1977 mopeds decided to hand over the reigns of it’s typically snore-worthy blog to future New Yorker, current divorceeNoel, who promptly developed a unique, not at all recognizable style and slanged the mud at your blog’s truly. Since you apparently didn’t learn the lesson of the last guy, I’ll gladly remind you that summers in Brooklyn can get awfully lonely for those who enjoy shitting where they eat. Awfully lonely, indeed. So get back to mopping up the bondage leavins or sniffing Pat’s farts or fetching coffee for Papa or whatever you counter-jockeys usually do while the men fix the bikes. Leave the blog bombs for the big dogs. Biters get bit. Free DMX.

Oh, and we just signed the lease for our new space. Yeah, whatever. Fuck you, Noah. OUT.

Wintercourse!

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

Hello abandoned blogeteers! December was a cold, cruel month for the official Orphanage Moped Shop Blog. Why? Because it’s fuckin cold, kids. We’ve been approaching ol’ Jack Frost with enthusiasm, though, so here’s a belated Holiday/New Year update from yours-still-mopedish in Greenpoint:

-Had ourselves a non-secular Holiday party on 12/12 (You missed the 12% discount, didn’t you?) that was quite the yule good time of the winter. Even M23 (rival gang) showed up to wish us a snowy one. Enjoy the festive decor:
hard fuck woman
future ex-mrs. carroll
store restored
joke about christmas
splashybrowns is comin to town
-Them things we sell have been flying off the shelves. Tough New Yorkers have been braving the inclement weather to jump on the bandwagon. Atari Warfare Moped from Motion Left and a sleek Black Puch Maxi (that didn’t even make it to the sales floor) now have happy owners. Thanks for paying our rent!
-Someone other than us looks stupid in the press. Finally.
-Taco Bell reopened. We are currently wallowing in Grade D Bean Mix and scalding ourselves with Carmel Apple Empanada viscera. GLEEFULLY.
-The infamous neighborhood Greenpoint Hotel has been sadly de-hoteled. Now it is only a gross tenement building housing sad kid-feelers, no criminally misinformed out-of-town travelers.
-The Cincinnati Bengals won the AFC North and are headed to the playoffs. There shall be no jokes associated with football on this blog, people.
-Our Baton Rougean friend, Winston, came in second in the running for Most Downtrodden Orphan 2009. He’s a one-man bolt stripping army. There exists not a Metrakit he cannot seize. Silver Medal, Winny.
-Al Miller, frequently denimed half-asian from posts of yore, MK2 inside joke arteest, moped rally car target, friend and lover has yet again smashed his blue Puch into an unsuspecting automobile. 1st Place, little Al.
-Tiger Woods.
-Thunderhorse, Chicago captains of video jokery, moved to New York. Come to think of it, I don’t even think those guys even like mopeds anymore. Only coitus. Newsworthy?
-The Fact of the Day thing bombed. We admit our mistakes. Speaking of:
-Check out the soon-to-be-forgotten Orphanage Mopeds ongoing Q&A over at Formspring. Bradley’s doing a good job so far of using Wikipedia to alienate. Expect cryptic musings and NC-17 animated gifs.
-We’re half-heartedly selling stuff on eBay now. Go there, buy online, and complain that we didn’t send you a plastic dinosaur and broken Sheena Easton cassette tape in the box with your parts. Our trust funds have limitations, buyers. Sorry.

That brings us up to now! Only 2 more years until all hell breaks loose, so we’re going hard. Thanks for 2009. See you soon.

Who shot yee? Hint: It’s usually someone you already know, Sir Smalls.

* Speaking of… diminutive and bespectacled shop CEO, Ryan, recently brokered a sleaze dipped deal with the fashion porn up-start, Jacque Quarterly; free prop bike rentals for free shop advertising. Oh yes, and complimentary hard copies too. Bald? Yes, more!

* We’ve been… Thunder Horsed! Video DJs, Alex Gvisvtckkschtch and Taran, of the The Incredible Shrinking Moped Gang are in town shopping for Desert Storm T’s, Pomade-resistant white Levis and… apartments. Let the Great Eastern Migration commence.

* Plus-sized Blog Captain, Nathan, has gone off the grid and onto Cuteness Trail II: I Get Intercourse This Time, Right?. The second run of the Bonny & Clyde style road adventure, but in place of robbering banks, Nathan and his lady will antique shop, argue about the rental’s gas light, and ignore each other’s physical needs. It’s truly Mr. Roadmaster’s last ride.

Only in New York, kids, only in New York.

Shame Weeked!

Rally party is done and gone. Shit was heavy, heavy. A group got rolled over by mom’s white Lexus, including The Orphanage Moped Shop’s own personal be-jeaned Asian, Alan Wu. Luckily everyone survived with minimal injury. Lesson learned? Bed Stuy, Do or Die. Next time all rally’s will partake in the Hamptons. Sad Face. Otherwise, total blastations.

Media Moped Love Fest XXX

Friday, August 14th, 2009

The shop has gotten more media luv this summer than a celeb death/ nipple slip combo. One’d think we were selling deep fried vibrating pocket vaginas, dipped in nacho cheese, served on a stick with a side of ranch… by the way these journa-bloggist come around here.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (our fave) With two more in progress.

Yarn has been spun, pictures popped, puns abused. Moped culture has been blandly described to your Aunt Tina, at a 5th grade level. But what has been the readership reaction?

For the record, we did not destroy coffee, it’s always been hot, disgusting dirt water.

Oh Mahoney…

I’m feeling very Police Academy-prone today. Beat the rain to the shop and spend a few hours until we finish Citizens on Patrol. No Sgt. Nick Lassard. Only Guttenberg. Wallet’s gotten comfortable already:

Ja Wohl!

Also, mopeds.

Rally Plan-iage

Nathan’s blog posting streak of 1.7 per month came to a halt this afternoon. Not-so naturally, Intercourse isn’t to blame.

Rather, NYC rally research has begun. Deets coming soon. Super hush-hush.

Has anyone seent or heard from Cool Nathan? Firstly he missed his brunch shift (no call) and now he’s tardy for Haiku III.

We can only assume that, once again, coitus performance is of higher priority than chalk draw-rings at the local moped emporium.

Thankfully good friend and one/third asian, Alex, collabed with Hobo Cat Wallet for today’s signage.

Don’t forget what you always tell me, Nate.

I Can’t Stand the Rain

Saturday, June 6th, 2009

Ol’ Summer finally broke in Appletown. After a long, drenchy weekend we finally get some sunshine in the form a purfect 80 degree Saturday. CEO of Burritos and Paying Rent, Ryan, celebrated by going camouflaged and suckling from an imaginary bottle. PHOTOSHOP CONTEST GO!

Look at the stars, Ryan. Look how they shine for you.

In Blog news, our old camera stopped working, this week has been busy, and I finally got my new glasses in. This should mean more updates for the people. Or not. Suck it, people.

Announcing: The Orphanage Moped Shop T-shirt Corntest!

Friday, May 29th, 2009

Shop owner and hero to all, Ryan, has given me the go ahead to get the ball rolling on our first official Orphanage Moped Shop t-shirt. Exciting, right?

The best part? You get to design it!

We’re too busy here undermining our friends and providing an alternative means of transportation to the masses to spend money invest the time and effort needed to design a t-shirt worthy of New York City’s only moped shop.

But what’s in it for you, you selfish, uncaring bottom-feeder? CREDIT. NOTORIETY. YOUR NAME ON THE BLOG AND THE INEVITABLE RIDICULE THAT SHALL FOLLOW.

Oh, and a free t-shirt – paid for in full by the shop’s part-time lover Daniel J.

and it will be good...
And corn. I will mail you corn. It is a corntest, right?

SO. Email your submissions to me. I’m all ears. And I have a corn cob dick. Get it?

Free Shirt Day!

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Patty Creature, one of our budz at 1977 Mopeds sent me this sweet shirt. Thanks guy! If anyone else out there deems it necessary to mail us clothing, feel free. I promise to blog about it before I do something weird in it, shaming you and me forever, spectacularly ruining our friendship and somehow making my parents even more disappointed!

GO buy your own today before they aren’t cool anymore.

An honest-to-goodness link to where you can buy the shirt. No, really. Seriously.

Mail Swag to:

Since there wasn’t much else going on, the Satanistas from Richmond came by and pretended like they were still a gang people still care about for a few days. AND GUESS WHAT HAPPEN?

Shit done got fucked up.
