I LIKE KILLING FLIES




Res Ipsa Loquitor

  When I was younger I was as big as I am now.  Everyday when I went home this lady was sitting on the stoop and said "Fat Fucking Jew Bastard."  Every day, "Fat Fucking Jew Bastard."   I went on a diet and lost a bunch of weight.  One day she says "Fucking Jew Bastard."  I thought wow, she just complimented me!" - Kenny Shopsin

I just felt so comfortable the entire time I was watching this documentary  about a little Greenwich Village. restaurant run by Kenny Shopsin and his family.  Period.  Kenny is a cross between the Soup Nazi and the dude who slips you a fiver when you're down and out.  I loved it and gave it five stars.  There are a ton of stories about Kenny; this is oneI Like Killing Flies is currently streaming on Netflix Instant Watch
