Stuy Town... In Gingerbread

Thank you. Satan's Own and I made it over the weekend.

What a team! That's a masterpiece! (Think they'd want it at MoMA?)

I hope not, Satan's Own just feasted on Robbie and Clarabelle!

What a talented team you are, even to the extent of getting Jerry's massive girth true to scale, not to mention the beady little eyes and bad toupee! In spite of who and what is depicted, it all looks very delicious and my mouth is watering just looking at it.

Consider yourself attacked!

Pure genius - love the detail

Insightful and poignant.

We are all stunned by your brilliance.

I guess there is just nothing left to say...

Yeah, if you think you are going to suggest how I spend my one week off during the year you can so fuck off. Because it's SO uncommon for people to make gingerbread houses during Christmas.

Not sure why you bother commenting here anyway. Is antagonizing people the best use of your time? But wait, you are almost "50" I forgot.

Please tell us, O Righteous One, which local charities did you devote your time and efforts to this Holiday Season? We would all love to know, I'm sure.

Troll didn't have time to donate because Troll was too busy traveling. For someone who supposedly lives in "Peter Copper Village" that daily commute to Boston must be a bitch.

Luxus Sleuthy ;)

The dead give away was this person showed up out of nowhere in the same post that chick and her Hitler loving friend started acting up. Probably a friend out of state. Which makes it even more pathetic.

The old washing machines were front loading also. But they were better than the Mac Grays because they were taller so the door opening cleared the top of the laundry cart. The Mac Gray machines should have been mounted on a platform, but weren't. So when I'm removing wash from the machines, I'm always dropping some clothing onto the floor.

Huh? They were top loaders forever. We never had to get on our knees to look for a stray sock or thong.

Who ARE you?

Sorry, memory lapse. My apartment building before I moved to Stuy Town in 2004 had front loaders. I must have confused them with the machines immediately preceding the Mac Gray front loaders.

The machines that they ripped out to replace with the MacManglers were front loaders. They had only been in for a year or so and the company that supplied them was Coinmach. They actually worked pretty well and used real water and were much more roomy that the MacManglers. Also didn't have that filthy rubber gasket round the doors. Oh, I'm getting all misty-eyed and dreamy thinking about the days when we actually had laundry facilities instead of little Toys-R-Us "lets play house" pretend washers caked with frat juice and hair. Uugghhh!

Why? You planning on doing a little earth moving? Got some bodies to bury? Where's Roundly Roger these days? Haven't heard from him lately. Ziggy! You didn't ..........?

Thanks Homebody. I thought I was going crazy there for a while when yetai said that we always had top loaders before the Mac Gray front loaders. (Maybe yetai didn't use the laundry rooms during that year or so of the Coinmach front loaders?)

Anyway, those Coinmach front loaders were better and less expensive than the Mac Grays. And they were tall enough so the door opening cleared the laundry cart and you were able to push the laundry cart up against the machine. With the short Mac Grays I can't push the cart against the machine so there's always a gap for small laundry items to fall through when I'm taking out wash.

ann,

I understand that 2017 is when the J-51 abatements expire. And, absent some intervening event, the 100 apartments should also become de-stabilized then.
