Carpenter Caught Working in the Nude ... Again
Percy Honniball, a 50-year-old carpenter from California, is obviously not a Seinfeld fan. If he was, he'd be aware that there is "good naked" (like the supermodel on a French beach kind), and there is "bad naked," like when Jerry was using a belt sander in "The Apology."

If Honniball was a fan, he probably wouldn't have been arrested for working in the buff, despite having been placed on probation for three similar violations of city ordinance.

There are all kinds of nuts (so to speak) out there, so I'm not surprised a carpenter would hang his tool perilously close to hammers, nails and glue guns. But I'm intrigued that skilled labor is so in demand that the man still finds work after being busted a few times. Who does this guy call on for references?

Today's Web Finds:

Top 10 Windows XP Tips Of All Time — These tips are actually quite involved. Ya know the kind where you're surveying and deleting files you never heard of, and you figure there's a 10% chance you'll end up frying your whole computer. So you're like, "Fuck it, I'll just let that notification window I always close come up another thousand times."

The Most Expensive Zip Codes — Forbes' annual list ranks Sagaponack (translation: tucked genitals), in Suffern, N.Y., as the country's most expensive area. Being able to afford a home with a median sale price of $2.79 million must take away the sting of admitting you live in a place called Sagaponack.

AlexaDex: People Making 'Money' on PaulKatcher.com — I hadn't heard of this stock-market for domains till it showed up in my referrals last week. Seems everyone who bought PK.com stock sold it at a higher price. Buy! Buy! Buy!

Baseball Prospectus: Adjusted Standings — The reason I think people should by disappointed, and maybe frustrated, but certainly not worried, by the Yankees' 9-8 start, is exactly what's displayed here. Having the largest run differential in the majors, we should be better off in the win column. It's just been bad timing. A couple more hits here for us, a couple less hits there for our opponents, and we could just as easily be 11-6 or something. But we couldn't just as easily be 6-11, because our wins have been more convincing than the losses.

Black Light Tattoos — At first I thought these were stickers or something, but I guess it's permanent ink. Maybe if you hang out in clubs a lot, these might look cool for awhile. But are you gonna find yourself under a lot of black lights between the ages of, say, 40 and 80? 'Cause that's like four decades or something.

Pee Wee Herman Satin Jacket — Wear it to your next circle jerk! The seller says it was given to him by his brother-in-law, from when he work on Pee Wee's Big Adventure, which came out in 1985. And he saved it 21 years ... why?

I am a huge PeeWee Herman fan, but that jacket is just ugly. I will just hang on to my prominently displayed 5x7 autographed picture and my talking PeeWee doll. ;)

C'mon - you've lived in NY State most of your life right? Sufern is a town in Rockland County. Sagaponack is in Suffolk County. It's a village in the Town of Southampton. The hilarious word "sag" being in their town name aside, I think the lucky Sagaponackian residents probably don't give two shits seeing as they're probbaly wiping their asses with their tax cuts and giggling about not being a mook like you and me.

Got any Sag Harbor material?

I avoid the Hamptons like the plague. I agree they couldn't give a crap at my bad attempts at humor. But Santa Monica and Bel Air sound nicer if you ask me.

The Hamptons are frightening. No - make that appalling. Good food though. If I had my druthers I would live in this little town called Capitola, right outside of Santa Cruz, CA on the northern part of Monterey Bay. Mellow central California vibe (I mean that in a good way) and some spectacular beaches, and mountains just to the east.
