Three larger than life heroes of the streets. There are a lot of other characters in these brief clips, but these three sit front and center to me. His true highlight comes at the end of CI clip #2, as a woman who really doesn’t seem to want another shot is most generously offered with a continual “You wanna shot? You wanna shot? You wanna shot?” Despite the sincerity oozing from him, she still manages to decline as we see her wagging her finger as if to get across “Sir, I have had enough shots already and do not desire more.” He adds the iconic phrase “Fuck Ya Life” between each food offering, demonstrating that while he is willing to feed you he may not care about your well being beyond that. We first see him working a hot grill, cooking up everything from burgers to chicken to glizzys (hot dogs). A source of energy so great that if extracted it could probably run the entire globe for years to come. He peppers it with an “I miss you” at the end that alludes to what was perhaps a former love affair. What he has to offer to us ranges from the ridiculous (“If you see this hard hat in your crib, heh, know I’m in her ribs!”) to the incredibly insightful (“Don’t die for free.”) My personal highlight of his is a heartfelt offer for Ariana Grande to come visit him in CI and take a spin on the Cyclone. Yes, like a construction worker… only I assume the only thing he’s building is a tally of sexual partners. Hard Hat Guy: A brash and confident young man who may or may not be wearing a shirt, but is frequently seen with a hard hat on. The nature of the clips makes it a bit hard to summarize, but I feel I should speak on a few key characters: I hope you can watch these right now yourself. Open drinking in the streets, hard hats, liberal use of the word fuck, glizzys, and a level of chaos I had never experienced were drawn up and injected directly into my brain. Amandoll herself presented the link to me (apparently, I am finding out, courtesy of AlexT), and you have to believe me when I tell you that what I saw over the next 60 seconds completely changed my shit up FOR GOOD.

So imagine my surprise when after watching a total of three minutes worth of videos I am planning to make a side trip to Coney during a New York trip next year. The fact that crime tends to be taking place in those circumstances doesn’t do much for me as far as temptation to book a flight.

To tell you the truth, I feel like I haven’t seen much of it outside of the occasional movie or TV show. I’ve never had a desire to go to Coney Island before.
