Brooklyn retail fun times: 50-90 percent off previous seasons’ merch at Flirt (the sale is not at their Fifth Ave. storefront; it’s at Home Ec, 303 Third Ave. at Carroll Street).Also, Olive’s Very Vintage is taking 30-50 percent off everything in the store, and OVV’s gear is really nice — meticulously cared for, lots of couture, and it doesn’t smell like mothballs — but quite pricey as a result, so this is a good opportunity.(So is lurking nearby while the manager puts the $20 rack together.Or so I have heard.)
If you just can’t wait another week for your Batman fix, Guyz Nite’s own Guns “Mick” Bones — and Nils — have put together a salute to “the bat man” with their “Dark Knight” video.From that page, you can also check out their tributes to Lt. Ellen Ripley and Johnny Rico.
Reader Carrie recommends her friend’s new baseball book, Dugout Wisdom: Life Lessons From Baseball, and Friend Of TN Bill Simmons’s Dad tipped me to a new album from The Baseball Project called “Volume 1: Frozen Ropes and Dying Quails,” and with song names like “Ted Fucking Williams,” obviously I had to buy said album without having even heard a note.
And last but not least, your Bunting-pun headline du jour, compliments of Fire Joe Morgan: “Today In Sacrifice Bunting.”

They covered The Baseball Project on TWIB a couple of weeks ago. I, too, was totally sold on the album due to the presence of “Ted Fucking Williams.”
Jack McDowell. “The Yankee Flipper.” Heh.
