My god, this is like the Best. Apartment. Ever. I get to live with Aretha Franklin and that random hipster dude! Or is that a girl? Who cares! I’d be living with the freakin’ Queen of Soul and a hipster androgynous person who are both wearing massive bows! We could sit around all day making sure that all of our bows match the sofa. And we could worry about that strange glow emanating from the kitchen, but I know Aretha Franklin would protect me from it.
The hipster dude/tte and I could discuss how great his/her current favorite band is, until three days later when s/he decides they’re too popular to like anymore and that s/he has a new favorite band that nobody’s ever heard of because they haven’t even formed yet. And then Aretha would come in and start bellowing “R-E-S-P-E-C-T” and we’d be like, “Aretha, calm down, we’ll do the dishes in a minute.” And the glittering light from her Swarovski crystal bedazzled bow would light up the New York evening, and oh, how we’d laugh …
Oh man that is great commentary.
Also, are we missing some volumes here? Sunday was 276, now we’re at 279…
My goodness, you people are demanding … you want witty commentary AND consecutive numbers. Something’s got to give at SOME point, man!
(Thanks for pointing that out. I’ve fixed it.)
Glorious llamanun we’re not demanding we just NEED our YSaC fix! like everyday man, like I can so give it up anytime dude but really when I’ve got it so much under control no point I’m mean its not as if I’m on the interweb every freakin’ minute waiting and waiting for the deal … sorry posting. In the words of the glorious (and as yet unknighted) Richard Starkey “Peace and love! Peace and love!”
i don’t think one bathroom will fit all those big bows
Subtle request.
Must love Bows!
*any romatic comedies made using aforementioned plot device will owe me royalties. It is on the interwebs therefore it is law.
any “romantic” comedies, as well.
Wow, you have one wild imagination!
That would make a fabulous weird experimental movie!
I would go see it. It kind of reminds me of the sit-com theme song improv in Whose Line Is It Anyway? The audience would suggest two celebrities who would be unlikely to live together (Hillary and Monica was one example) and the actors had to improvise and act out the theme song for a show about them being roommates.
Best entry ever!!
we all know this ad is a fake – there ain’t no living space big enough to house people AND that monstrous bow!
Also, is it $940 a month for just one of the four bedrooms in the loft? I know New York is expensive, but I didn’t realize it was THAT expensive! (My comparison point is Helsinki, where you can rent a spacious 16 square meter apartment for 500€ a month.)
Unfortunately, $940 a month sounds about right for a single bedroom in a hipster-infested Williamsburg share. Although there might be some sort of service charge for giant bows, skinny jeans and personal performances by the Queen of Soul.
Four bedrooms. Two bows big enough to require zoning permits. ONE bathroom. I could see how there would be problems here.
On a side note. This blog? Best. Blog. Ever. You’ve officially topped Cake Wrecks as my #1 favorite must-read-every-day blog. This entry officially nudged it over the edge. Not that I don’t love my daily dose of Wrecky goodness. But exposing the seedy underbelly of Craigslist for the rest of us to laugh at? Genius. I only wish I’d thought of the idea first!
I just read this and laughed and laughed and laughed. It is so funny.
Isn’t Bowloft an antidepressant?
Bah. Giant bows that match the sofa have been done to death. Even people in the suburbs now wear them (or so I hear, since I make a point of not knowing anyone from the suburbs). Besides, wouldn’t a kitchen with the 456 living in it be hard to keep clean?
I love Sunday mornings with good slices of coffee and vintage sucking. I can totally imagine the Llama-nun, MBBUH, as spiritual guide to the Queen of Soul. And how nice to see jackie31337 and woofless and Colleen in MA before the mattress incident. This is a good day to clean up the Snark Lounge, with so few people in here. Dave, Hammy, can you help me move the auntie-juiced sofa?
Just send the ferret under there to clean, you can tie a swiffer to his tail.
🙂
Good idea! Here, ferret, ferret, ferret!
You know that only works for Dave.
OT: I just noticed “God Hates Protestors” over there. I thought it was one of those “See the Muslim guy catch on Fire while burning the US flag” things, but it is actually quite funny even so. Thank you, Llamanun, BBUY.
Took some mental twisting (and a trip to mapquest) to disconnect Williamsburg, VA from “close to manhattan” as a space-time impossibility.
A 4/1 is always a tough situation as the bathroom always becomes an issue. I suppose having a diva as a flat-mate would be handy; yodeling aria in the shower could prevent people from just “nipping in” to use one or more of the two unused fictures in the bathroom.
Cold and wet today here in central Texas–debating more coffee, but may get out the green tea to make ôcha instead.
O Captain! my Captain! My fearful search is done. The only info I could find on ôcha was it’s either a genus of moth in the family Lasiocampidae or the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. I’ll bet neither one of these is what you meant. Please save this ignorant soul and edumakate me as to what ôcha is. Thanks………
Ah, try “cha” in google translate (you might need to nudge it to Japanese); you should get “tea” as an answer.
Nihongo prefixs “O” (anglicized with a flat bar or circumflex so as to read “OH”) to things honored to near reverence. Tea being a great blessing, it is not mere cha but Ô-cha.
Chop sticks are hashi; but referred to as Ô-hashi in the same way. Rice, is Gohan in the same way. Having rice, tea, and a way to eat, something to be reverently thankful for, after all.
It’s also one of those words semi-specific to sushi-baru use, too. The sort of thing baka gaijin might pick up after a while. (I’m using my yunomi–large tea cup, too.)
Side note: Catulator had to have a sniff of the tea; this garnered a look clearly of “you humans . . . ”
Thank you Sir. Enjoy the Ô-cha and what’s left of the weekend……….
Scanning employment documents; putting up xmas decor; listening to the FD fight a 2.5 alarm fire . . .
Thistle & Shamrock at 1800–woo!hoo!
It is snowing in my neck of TX so my snark is frozen. That is all.
Almmost wish it were icy down here. Might mean people would drive more senisbly on the still-wet/slick roads.
Keep hearing (if second-hand over f/b) much d/fw speculation on whether the roads will warrant closings for Monday.
Here’s for wishing a “snow day” for y’all up there.
I can assure you, Capn, that people do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, drive more sensibly on roads that are wet/snow covered/icy.
I was distracted by the bowtastic Ms. Franklin the first time I read this but now that I’ve looked at all the pictures, I’m quite disturbed by the silhouette of Howdy Doody and friend peering in the window.
I think he needs to use the bathroom, and is trying to see if anyone is in there. 8)
I think I figured out the bow thing. The hipster/androgynous (Hipgynous? Androster?) person is showing how big the Queen of Soul’s head is with a proportionate bow, to demonstrate how large the closets are. Or that she can fit through a standard door.
I had a feeling I would end up reading some posts I hadn’t seen yet…and here’s one! A real winner, I’m glad it came up in today’s redux.
I’ve been cleaning and such all day so my I think my snark is tired, but I wanted to say hi. I know I’ve been MIA a lot lately, two part-time jobs makes life a little crazy. But…well, I have a plan forming, and it’s still in the beginning stages so I don’t want to put it out there just yet in case I decide that it won’t work and drop the plan entirely. Anyway, if I do what I’m thinking, I’ll be busy busy busy, but it will also be easier for me to take the occasional break and stop by the snark lounge more often. 🙂
I hates it when the person in the box never shows up to know about it. Oh well. It’s been a slow day, but I got a lot cleaned out in here. It looks better all ready, with all those bows!
Lara, Punchity Punch Punch!
G’Night, Brooklyn!
