You wanna egg cream with that?

Penniless pornographer Al Goldstein has "screwed" up his life some more — after being caught shoplifting books from a Barnes & Nobles yesterday, police said. And they weren't even dirty books.
Goldstein, 68, the ex-publisher of Screw Magazine, was stopped by security on his way out of the chain's Lincoln Center store at 1972 Broadway, with three books, a police source said.
They were health books "including at least one on colitis," the source said.
Goldstein was charged with petit larceny.
His life has been spiraling downward the last couple of years.
In March 2002, he was found guilty of harassing his former secretary by publishing her name in Screw.
He has recently been sleeping at the Bellevue homeless shelter after being fired from his job as a greeter at the Second Avenue Deli.
His financial woes have been brought on in part by the bankruptcy of Milky Way Productions, the corporate entity that controlled Screw and his long-running cable show, "Midnight Blue."

Tough cookies, Al. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
Wages of sin never change.
They have greeters at delis in NY City? Is that like being a greeter at WalMart?
Hey , I enjoy a little so-called " porno " now and then ...but Goldstein was a scumbag , sleazebag par none ...He got what was coming to him ...
What goes around comes around.
Some of the deli greeters hand out order slips.
Calling Larry Flint! Now is the time to show what a great and decent democrat you are. Prop this man up with a few million.
"I'm sorry, this book has been flagged."
This has the makings of a modern day Christmas Carol. I wonder if Goldstein will finally see his whole life has been a waste and all the talents and hard work he put into his degrading and hurtful publication have brought him nothing.
I pray this clown will wakeup and re-evaluate his life, develop a relationship with his maker, invest in people, and use his talents and abilities to to raise up those around him rather than bring them down.
I am not a religious fanatic but I can't help but see the good Lord is reaching out to him one more time. If Goldstein knows what is good for him he will get down on his hands and knees.
-Outrance
Flint?
Show his "tolerance and (gag) compassion"?
To a competitor?
Don't bet on it.
I hate to shoot down your dreams but that's not gonna happen.
This is across the street from the Tower Records where Rex Reed got caught stealing some CD's of broadway show tunes.
"All old people steal batteries."
"SWARM! SWARM!"
He'd like the Clinton Library..

Well you never know. Stranger things have happened. Although personally I can't think of any off the top of my head at the moment.
He was an arrogant degenerate then. He is an arrogant degenerate now. Couldn't happen to a nicer fecal mass.
Buckmaster Fuller had a similar moment of despair, and turned his life around with the help of "a higher power". Dare I say, GW Bush did too.
So good for you Outrance in seeing the possibility.
Hey, he could LIVE at the Clinton Library!
A mobile home would be much cozier than a homeless shelter.
If spent 1/10th as much time pursuing Jesus as he has Jezebel, his life could be headed in a totally new direction. Out of the sewer, washed in the blood, and rinsed by His Spirit.
