We receive a lot of e-mail. Most of these missives are carefully read, discussed at length among the editors, and courteously replied to in a timely fashion—except for the ones that are so bizarre and irrelevant that we're simply afraid to engage the sender. Instead, we'll share them with you. Behold, the eccentric underbelly of the Gothamist inbox:
Regarding our articles on a website that outs bad tippers, subject line: A Good Tip
Me and a good friend where out last night, had a few beers and a couple of pizzas I said I would take care of the bill, so he has the tip left a $100. He was feeling pretty pretty good having married off the second of his three daughters the pass weekend and his business, auto body shop, has doing very good. So if you going to bitch about the bad post something about the good.
Ahh, tipping with the joy that comes only with the burden of a daughter being lifted from your shoulders. We expect a $200 tip when he leaves his wife.
Can you tell how the author of this one feels about a certain commercial? Fun game: try and guess which commercial she's referring to! The possibilities are endless! Maybe this one? WHO KNOWS!!!!!!!!!!!
I have never taken the time to write someone about a commercial Ive seen but this one deserves the attention!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I quit a few years ago and it is still hard sometimes, I am also a great mom and it broke my heart to see that ad and how all those emotions rolling around between the smoking the child and leaving him-death. really a great ad I cant say it enough, someones boss needs to pat someone on the back!!!!!!!!

In this tip, someone finally stands up for The Donald. We can't publish his entire (fake) email address, but it begins with "fuckyouandthehorseyourodeinogetoutofmycountry." [Ed note: we do have company horses, but they're only used in the summer, for our annual Gothamist Jousting Expo]
Donald Trump is not a Birther, You are a Racist, and an Idiot, as well as a dumbass for posting such stupidy on the internet. Donald Trump is the only one who can fix all of Obama Mama Liberl Musilim crap!@
On the subject of Reality TV: this will surely elicit a coherant email!
I can't believe there doing a tv show on mob wife's ,,, being a wife of a made man there" as an honor of code ,, when did the women go out on the front lines .there's not to many made men left in 2011" but rule number 1 shut up ,, the women I was under never acted like them And there's no way the godfather ,or any soldier of organized crime would approve approve a tv show like this!!!! if my walls could talk I would have a best seller book of all times "" this goes to show how far down organized crime has gone down nobody is running the show so far what I have seen that's not how the real women of made men,,theta act like straight trash , I was schooled by my mother in-law,church every week u only stayed with a small group of women .this is to sad I'm be side my self
You don't say! DO tell us more, and speak louder and lean into this flower pot...
Finally:
Could they dig some canal/trenches from the ocean to the cooling ponds?
