I don't know if I find it germaine enough to my life to make it part of my regular reads, but standingonthebox.blogspot.com is "Clublife: An online narrative of the life of a bouncer at two of New York's most popular nightclubs." You ever been out at night in New York and thought "the world would be a better place if someone applied some smackdown to about half the people in here"? Yeah, this guy and his co-workers are justice applied:
"What happened to him?" I asked, gesturing toward the customer.
"Him? Oh, he's just upset that he got pinched."
I took a closer look and noticed that a bouncer named "Louis" was gripping the customer's hand, across his knuckles, with a pair of pliers.
Well written narratives of life policing New York's seedier $1,000-minimum-tab underside.
