Anagram?

Originally uploaded by urbanstrategist.

This was a really puzzling anagram in the Flatbush Pavilion series and it’s still causing us some consternation. Certainly not as amusing as “Elvis Lives” b/w that thing about the new fan running away grinning… uh… somebody remind us what it said, please?

So is this one of the Mooney’s Crew, or the lone gunman father-of-two from Park Slope?

Thanks to urbanstrategist for adding this to the Prospect Heights Photo Pool.

t-fal writes in the Crown Heights Message Boards: “There’s this guy who lurks about my block… I call him Mister Sparkles due to his rather impressive fronts that would make Flavor Flav green with envy … He is the sole and driving reason behind the deterioration of the once lovely quality of life on my block. “
“… He struts around like one of those grumpy commentators on the Muppets, giving shit to anyone and everyone who happens to pass by … he accused my boyfriend and I of being undercover cops … and now he’s got a cheering section of fourteen year old boys, the bastard.”
“There’s nothing worse than fourteen year old boys. He and his youth crew are outside my bedroom window nearly every night, including right now, serenading me with gunshots, random imitations of dogs barking, absurd proclamations about god.knows.what.”
“He starts incredibly loud fights with random people who happen to be passing by, at 4 am, and then follows them down the block creating a climate of fear and intimidation when once there was none.”
“My block used to be so live and let live! What happened? … It’s obvious: mister sparkles must die. But is he really worth going to prison for? Sadly, no. So therefore I suffer.”
