Hey kids. What's the rumpus? Panic on the streets of Grammercy! That's was the rumpus. I was involved in bit of a scuffle recently on 23rd Street. A real donnybrook was going down and I stepped in to mange the carnage. No big deal. I'm just a concerned citizen. Like Bruce Wayne minus the butler and gay sidekick.

In the spirit of Halloween, I will sacrifice my dignity on the alter of the Loyal 77 in the name of the caption competition (plus Halloween).  Have at it you jackals!  (by the way this costume won best prize at a party where I was the minority)
