Come on, Eileen, you’re gonna kill somebody. Get with the program.

The New York Times has a feature up today on a practice that would send us Missionites into a blind NO SAVESIES rage:

Elsewhere in the neighborhood, the epicenter of the parking wars that erupt here after a snowstorm, the narrow streets were lined with bar stools and coolers, end tables and shopping carts, all meant as warnings: This shoveled-out space is mine until the snow melts. Occupy it at your own risk.

But that’s not all. He does like a million other cool things too. And all to a totally epic soundtrack. See for yourself:
