Merry Christmas

Thank you & same to you & StreetEasy & all of its denizens. Ho Ho Ho!

Ditto.

Have a good one guys : )

nothing better than Christmas in Yorkville!!

Except Christmas in San Francisco.

Thanks for the wonderful Christmas present, huntersburg!
It was under the Christmas tree this morning:

"Elegant Piano". In white! Just what I wanted when I saw it in ChinaTown the other day.
I love the inscription on the top: "The wonderful music gives happy you".
I will take good care of it, as the "WARNING" directions on the box state:

1. Please dont place it in following place.
a)nearby strong vibration. b) in the dusty play.

2. Please do not touch it movement.

3. Please dont clean it case by using Paint thinner or other chemical materials.
Neuter soap or cleanser as cleaning liquid is recommendable.

4. Please change the battery once a year.
Exhausted battery may leak and damage your product.

Obviously some have imbibed too much egg nog. Happy Holidays to all

And Festivus for the rest of us

Obviously someone has never been to San Francisco's Chinatown gift shops.
Or read the packaging.
Or just wants to be MissKnowItAll.

The card attached to the Elegant Piano read: "Merry Christmas, from huntersburg".
I would have liked it just as much if it were for Festivus.

Marco....this Holiday wish is for you.
Kilgore: Smell that? You smell that?
Lance: What?
Kilgore: Nothing, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that.
[kneels]
Kilgore: I love the smell of nothing in the morning. You know, one time we had a MTS bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' DSNY body. The smell, you know that clean fresh smell, the whole hill. Smelled like
[sniffing, pondering]
Kilgore: victory. Someday this war's gonna end...

Merry Christmas everyone....

And a Happy New Year.

Falco, the war never ends. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, and blame autocorrect. For the youngsters who haven't seen the movie, I love the smell of "napalm" in the morning.

One of the great scenes in American cinema Falco.

A Very Merry Christmas & Happy & Healthy New Year to the entire Street Easy Gang!

Truth, don't worry - I knew IMMEDIATELY what you were talking about. I've seen a number of those "instructions", or, more accurately what's supposed to pass for them & they've never failed to crack me up. I wish I could think of specific examples, but can't at the moment.

Something definitely gets "lost in the translation" (namely, everything).

We should all be thankful none of these instructions accompany home health care products -i.e., an enema kit. Can you even begin to imagine...well, let's not...

P.S: I'll just have to run out & buy "Neuter Soap".

I can hear the voiceover already:

"Don't just wash your b***s - disolve them completely!"

>For the youngsters who haven't seen the movie, I love the smell of "napalm" in the morning.

I am looking forward to seeing this movie when I turn 17.

>Thanks for the wonderful Christmas present, huntersburg!
It was under the Christmas tree this morning:

My pleasure

It's my fave holiday present, huntersburg.
I'm playing the "I Love Lucy" theme music on it, The Doors'"Back Door Man",and REM's "It's The End Of The World As We Know It."

Next Christmas, I'm asking Santa for a "Ring-A-Ding Telephonic" and a "Police-Man Safe Automoted".

walpurgis: Most people who have looked around a shop in any city's ChinaTown have seen those items.
I kept the box just for the care instructions.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, mutombo.

walpurgis:
I bought some toothpicks "safety&healthy" manufactured by "Tichijian (Care for the health of teeth)":

"It is molded in integration. The touching feeling is strong and comfortable. It cannot be broken while bend at random. Fine brush wool can remove any residual at dead corner of teeth gap."

Merry Christmas, Truth!

I really should be cleaning out the refrigerator before hopefully getting on a plane tomorrow, and I will, but this shit is some very compelling stuff.

AR: Ha!!!!. Safe Trip. Happy New Year -- to All SE'ers.

>Happy New Year -- to All SE'ers.

Thank you very much. You too.

Cleaning out my refrigerator before getting on a plane to go out of town never crossed my mind.
Who knew "this shit" would be such "compelling stuff" that it would prevent me from the difficult work at hand?

"Ha!!!!"

Truth: That's one helluva description for the humble toothpick!

You'll have to excuse me now, as I must immediately run out & buy a fine brush wool, so I can remove that nasty residual that always seems to accumulate at the dead corner of my teeth gap.

Sorry....it's just WAAAY too funny! Quadruple LOL!!!!

walpurgis: Check out Chinatown for those items, $1.19 for the toothpicks. Maybe a few cents more in NYC.
How can you go wrong, unless you need to clean out your refrigerator before hopefully getting on a plane tomorrow?

"This shit is some very compelling stuff", so if you miss your flight, All SE'ers will understand.
You'll only be out of town for a week. Lord knows what will go on in your refrigerator if you don't clean it out before you get on a plane!

Those toothpicks are just the thing for cleaning all those difficult to reach refigerator crevices.

So whaddaya waitin' for?!? Run - don't walk - to Chinatown NOW!!!

AR has SE OCD. She prefers to be on SE than to pack for her trip to Bellevue, now that's compelling. Don't forget to pack your daughter's black cabbage patch.

You don't throw away the fruit, etc. that can rot over a ten-day period? Nasty.

AR, I'm expecting you to infuse the fruit with alcohol. The green way of living. LMAO. SMH.

Throw away the fruit that can rot over a ten-day period, SE'ers!
nasty, indeed.
Just don't buy so much fruit if you're going away.
Or can it. Good idea, mutombo.
How long does it take to clean out the fridge before going away?!

Just log onto this Merry Christmas thread and rot it while the fruit is waiting.

The war in 'Nam ended. A long time ago.
Don't they teach history in the better schools?!
Go Jarhead some fruit.

Or do this with it:

If you're going away - be festive & go in style!

Truth, from the looks of AR big body, I doubt if she eat fruits.

No, now they teach toothpicks. Clearly. Much more compelling.

Who needs history or basic cleanliness when such scintillating topics are at hand? And who, with a couple of kids, doesn't usually have extra perishables at hand. Likely easier if you live life solo.

Will the perishables make it pass the TSA? LMAO.

Thanks and same to you and wish you a happy and a prosperous new year.

oh no...the poor bullied ones are back!

We never left, yikes.

>oh no...the poor bullied ones are back!
>We never left, yikes.

Yesterday there was a brief period where Yikes became grey like the old Wbottom, and Truth was elevated to regular posting status and was actually able to bump threads.
In addition, I met a new friend named Andrew on the Rushmore thread who apparently forgot to use his alternate crazy identity, and had to scramble to have streeteasy delete his post.
And remember this: http://streeteasy.com/nyc/talk/discussion/9958-thread-removal-with-neither-explanation-nor-obvious-reason

ah the mysteries of streeteasy, huntersburg!

Where a chat about the fun things for sale in Chinatown gift shops cause a bored housewife to delay throwing out her fruit because she needs to post a comment about "this shit" and how "compelling" it is .
A life so scintillating with the extra perishables!

Life is actually rather enchanting with the extra perishables. And the kids. Even as a single I had no interest in the dreck. But to each his or her own. Fun things for sale in Chinatown, at least beyond gag gifts, is an oxymoron to me. But again, whatever makes your day, or night.

The bored housewife, here again on the Merry Christmas discussion.
Gag gifts for sale in Chinatown just for the fun of giving and reading the directions are not intellectually stimulating for her.
She wants this thread to be about her and her intelligence.

Her enchantment with her life isn't enough to distract her from what she described as "this shit".
It's what makes her day and night. Even while on vacation.

Truth, WTF is AR talking about?

She wants to impress SE'ers by using her superior vocabulary skills:
"oxymoron".
"is an oxymoron to me" is even more impressive.

AR's degree from Yale and her superior vocabulary skills have disallowed her from maintaining a job. Truth, do you know that AR was a paralegal for Ralph and he fired her.
