Sometimes the Jokes Write Themselves. And Yet You Still Feel Incredibly Guilty.
This flyer has been posted all over the Union Square subway station for the past few days. While I’m posting it on here as a public service announcement, you will probably have the same initial reaction that I did.
Wait… an Irishman? Who was last seen in a bar? Oh… two bars? Over three hours? Hmm. Now, I’m no detective (and you’ve got to hope Detective Occhiogrosso has already come to this conclusion), but I’m going to take a wild guess here and say that alcohol was involved in his disappearance.

Ryan says:I was working under the umbrella of his name being Anthony Devine(Divine), he seems to be somewhat of a slight fellow and he was last seen at a bar that has “hooker” in the title.
Maybe it’s just me…

Todd says:If I went missing in NYC, I’m betting alcohol would be involved. Then again, I’m part Irish too.

rottweilertom.blogspot.com says:yes, but he wants to be called Tony. Is he ashamed of being Irish?

Janine says:AMNY reported this morning that he’s 107 pounds, not 170! Hmmm, I wonder if that is correct, a 5′10″ man who weighs 107 pounds… HMMMM. Sounds right to me!
(for those who can not infer sarcasm over the internets: SARCASM ABOVE).

Irish says:These comments are not funny. This is a plea for help from Tony’s family and friends. Please don’t use this to bash anyone since we know no one is perfect. And you should all look up the name Anthony and Galway Hooker. You will soon realize that you are not wise at all.

Ronnie says:You know people, there is a family waiting to hear from this man. There are more people missing in this country than you can imagine. Sometimes alcohol is involved and sometimes not. Your comments are not funny or witty - they just show the type of human being you are - insensitive and ignorant. If something like this happened to someone in your family, I wonder what you’d say then.

the girl from tenth ave says:I have posted the information for this young man on my blog and have had several hundred hits in a matter of days. His family is looking for him and the last thing they need is to read the shit you people are saying.

Lisa says:This man has a family and friends desperately seeking to locate him, please do not use this site as a way to crack jokes. No one finds this funny. We pray for his safe return.

June says:It is very sad that you get a kick out of writing such sick comments about such a sad and serious story of a missing person. It is obvious you have no family values or respect for human life. What you do have is plenty of ignorance and a mistaken sense of self importance. I pray to God that Tony will soon be found so that his family and friends can stop the emotional suffering they are going through since November 30th.

Paul says:“Sometimes the jokes write themselves” Chris you truly are an idiot of the highest order. I’ve know Tony my whole life and I can assure you this is not a joking matter. I can tell by your “public service announcement” that you a oblivious to the fact that friends and family of Tony’s might actually read this whilst looking for information to his whereabouts. If you cannot be of any assistance please remove this blog….
If anybody knows any businesses or Premises in the area of Slattery’s Bar on 36th St between 5th and Madison that may have CCTV footage looking out to the Street that they advise me to this as there is no CCTV inside or outside Slattery’s – and we still do not know if Tony left alone or even which direction he headed in. Because we don’t know any of the businesses a court order is require to get the businesses to release to tape and which is wasting valuable time.
And Ryan - By the way a Galway hooker is a type of sail boat.

Linda Ea says:Thank you for this fantastic blog post. I did realize I am getting some sort of few glitches on your website though. I can easily see the document just great but for some reason there is some sort of frame on top that says “page can not be found” well this could possibly be on my end, I could possibly have some spy ware.

G. Thompson says:Hey! That was great man. Mind if I share a dumb joke with ya? I know it’s kinda silly, but oh well. Ok, What do you call a cajuns bear? Hebert! Get it? I guess not. I guess it’s just a Louisiana one. I’ve been looking for jokes and pranks on the net all day man. The funniest ones I found were kinda weird, but it seems like they are the best. I like all blond jokes too. I found some really funny prank calls on youtube. Just search “prank phone calls” on there and that should keep you going for like a day alone! I even found a place that tell you how to make your own stink bombs . I haven’t tried it yet, but I want to if my mom will let me. So what makes you giggle the most? Do you like that show Jackass? Knoxville is so crazy! Well thanks for the laughs. I had fun!
