Rapper atop pole stops traffic in Times Square

NEW YORK (AP) - A rapper awaited word Tuesday on whether he would face charges after stopping traffic in Times Square by staging a performance - from atop a light pole.

"He was rapping to the police officers, rapping to everybody," Jason Krywko, a tourist from Sarasota, Fla., told the New York Post. "He was lifting his shirt up. It was all for attention."

Earlier in the morning, the man had been trying to hand out his own CDs in a store when he got kicked out, witnesses said. He then climbed the pole to try to get his music heard, they said.

The man, dressed in a red polo shirt, khaki shorts and a baseball cap, perched atop the 20-foot pole for more than an hour, negotiating with police officers beneath him.

Onlookers packed the sidewalks, with some clicking photos and others cheering him on. Police set up an inflatable cushion under the pole at 44th Street and Seventh Avenue for fear he would jump.

He finally agreed to come down the ladder around 11:15 a.m. He was handcuffed and taken to Bellevue Hospital for evaluation, a police spokesman said.

Authorities did not release his name, pending possible charges.

Chicharron (Now to figure out how to make this without constantly ...

! ).  Now wash it and freeze it all. Next day. Download beastie boys new album Make Some Noise and play very loudly. Remove and thaw. Add copius amounts of salt sugar (about 3:1 salt sugar mix), about the half the amount of five spice powder,  mix it up. rub over the skin and the fat and discard any leftover fivespicesaltsugar mix. Leave in fridge overnight and go against all health and safety laws and leave it exposed. Take out. Put in oven at 180 Deg C. It’ll take about 30 mins to puff up. If it does. Add more heat or use the girll oven function to blitz it. Like rice crispies it should snap crackle and pop like a good beastie boys tune.

Whats the logic?

Im no heston (although i secretly think i am. shhh. tell no one.) but in my brain the logic works as follows:

the freezing is to expand the water cells so the skin cell structure breaks down cos water expands when it turns into ice. dumbo.

the exposed refridgeration and the salting and sugaring removes the water content.

fat isnt crispy so u remove it. David Chang says it tastes like packing peanuts and because he is to many the next Messiah it must be right.

the five spice makes it yummy as the 5spiceflavoursmellthings rush in with the salt and sugar in a little commuter train like thing.
