Toilet Torcher Lights First Match of 2009

Just when you thought the Toilet Torcher was a match striking terror to stay stuck in the halcyon days of 2008, he or she leaps into 2009 with aplomb. See, just this morning for the 13th time since November 2008, someone set a porta-potty on fire during the wee hours of the morning. The fire was reported at around 3:20 a.m. close to the intersection of Van Ness Avenue and Greenwich Street. It was put out by firefighters who arrived on the scene. No one was injured.
