Quote of the Day

Here's a tip from Sam: If you are a single guy or gal seeking to become more attractive in the eyes of other singles, then by this house. Nothing says "sex appeal" like your own house. Especially an incredibly cool litle house like this one. It's less than a one-bedroom at the Meier tower.

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: bayridgegirl at January 27, 2009 3:51 PM

Okay, I gotta cut and paste all my comments that are a result of this!

Posted by: bayridgegirl at January 27, 2009 3:52 PM

I might "buy" it.

Posted by: bkbella at January 27, 2009 3:53 PM

Yes, BRG, because that would make it so much more profound.

Posted by: daveinbedstuy at January 27, 2009 3:53 PM

I feel like hiring a graffiti artist to create a 'mural' over this quote!

Posted by: bayridgegirl at January 27, 2009 3:54 PM

'Yes, BRG, because that would make it so much more profound.'

My point exactly!!!

Posted by: bayridgegirl at January 27, 2009 3:54 PM

Not all graffiti is art, BRG.

Posted by: daveinbedstuy at January 27, 2009 3:57 PM

Sam, btw, you know I only kid.
Only love for you, my middle aged Don Juan!

Posted by: bayridgegirl at January 27, 2009 3:58 PM

I really try to be careful but am a horrible typist, naturally I meant "buy" not by, and I know how to spell little.

Posted by: sam at January 27, 2009 4:00 PM

You're right DIBS, about graffiti art. I want to vandalize this quote.

Quote of the Day
During the 19th C. the most notorious brothel in brooklyn heights was on the corner of Peirrepont and Henry in a magnificent mansion. It is now apts. It is one of my favorite houses in all of Brooklyn, every time I'm in the nabe I have to walk by. I imagine women of ill repute hanging out by the windows waiting for male callers. During that same time, Love Lane was used for illicit activity. So, this house on 'Love Lane' for $9,500 a month you better get some bang for your buck!

Quote of the Day
I remember walking from Park Slope to Pratt once, about 10 years ago. It was desolate and empty. I remember passing a huge empty red brick building on the corner of Gates and I forget what, thinking, this is a beauty, but who's gonna want to live here. Look at the neighborhood now...it's come a long way.

such an odd oxymoronic statement. most people who buy a house are married with chirrun and in their 30s-50s with saggy moobs. is that considered sexy in brooklyn these days? haha.

ps - no offense to you married men with moobs and children.
*r*

Get over it, will ya? Please.

BRG has me imagining Sally Field crashing this year's Oscars, running up on stage after they award best Actress and yelling "You loved me! You really, really loved me!!"

Posted by: slopefarm at January 27, 2009 4:17 PM

Slopefarm;

Actually, we don't.

Posted by: benson at January 27, 2009 4:22 PM

You don't what, benson? Get over QOTD? Love Sally Field?

Posted by: slopefarm at January 27, 2009 4:26 PM

Slope Farm;

The latter (our Brownstoner equivalent).

Posted by: benson at January 27, 2009 4:29 PM

was sally field the chick who played twins by herself on that patty duke show back in the middle of the last century?

*r*

'BRG has me imagining Sally Field crashing this year's Oscars, running up on stage after they award best Actress and yelling "You loved me! You really, really loved me!!"

You really think anybody here loves me, you really really think that.
Than you are more delusional than I am!

Posted by: bayridgegirl at January 27, 2009 4:31 PM

Benson, say my name! You know you want to! Come on, say it!!!

Posted by: bayridgegirl at January 27, 2009 4:33 PM

Say my name, say my name
When no one is around you, say baby I love you
If you ain't runnin' game
Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady, you ain't callin' me baby
Why the sudden change?

Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you, say baby I love you
If you ain't runnin' game
Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady, ain't callin' me baby
Better say my name

Posted by: daveinbedstuy at January 27, 2009 4:36 PM

Holy crap - that will officially be in my head for the rest of the day - thanks DIBS. Maybe some Slayer will blast it out on the commute home.

Posted by: dirty_hipster at January 27, 2009 4:43 PM

Benson, and BRG, your points are mine as well. Why else would she be stepping on someone else's glory to relive her own? If we truly loved her, she wouldn't have to do this.

Read the example again. Sally Field isn't up for Best actress this year. Google her last acceptance speech (20+ years ago). Ugh. Maybe Biff will get the reference. Kind of up his alley.

P.S. -- rob, none taken.

Posted by: slopefarm at January 27, 2009 4:43 PM

I got the reference.

Posted by: cwbuecheler at January 27, 2009 4:50 PM

Yes, Slope I got your Sally Field reference.
You like me?!

Posted by: bayridgegirl at January 27, 2009 4:51 PM

'If we truly loved her, she wouldn't have to do this.'

D'OH!!!

:-(

Posted by: bayridgegirl at January 27, 2009 4:54 PM

You know what slopefarm, you made me self conscious...but if it wasn't for me, there would only be 4 posts for this QOTD.
So Sam, you're welcome, for drawings attention to your prose of buying an overpriced teeny weeny house so one can get booty!

Posted by: bayridgegirl at January 27, 2009 4:57 PM

"Nothing says "sex appeal" like your own house."

The problem is, singles who love your house always want to move in. So, you wind up having to cut off the relationship. There are no easy answers.

Posted by: East New York at January 27, 2009 5:04 PM

BRG,

Without going back through the archives, it is hard to believe that it took my comment to make you self conscious. But my comment was meant as good-natured teasing and not meant to be hostile. I like that you are on the site and you are fun to kid with. Easy target, today, though, you gotta admit.

P.S. again to rob -- yes, that's the same Sally Field. Show took place in Brooklyn Heights no less.

Posted by: slopefarm at January 27, 2009 5:08 PM

Slopefarm and Rob;

Incorrect. The star of the "Patty Duke Show" was....Patty Duke. Sally Field was the star of the sitcoms "Gidget" and then "The Flying Nun".

Posted by: benson at January 27, 2009 5:13 PM

You are right, Benson. Sorry, I do get them mixed up.

Posted by: slopefarm at January 27, 2009 5:15 PM

the name gidget makes me giggle. i feel like that's totally brg's middle name or something.

*r*

Posted by: PitbullNYC at January 27, 2009 5:17 PM

BRG- and here i thought you were referencing the Neverending Story.

Posted by: bxgrl at January 27, 2009 5:21 PM

'it is hard to believe that it took my comment to make you self conscious.'

Double D'OH!!!

Slope, I took your comments as teasing, that's how I read them, as evident by my follow ups; or maybe not, I should have put a smiley at the end of mine.
Yes, I like the 'kid'. 90% of my posts are in jest. I'm always an easy target as proven by the notorious duo that continously trash me. I don't mind the ribbing and can def. take a joke. So slope, anytime you want to take a funny shot at me, go right ahead. Today is your day.

Posted by: bayridgegirl at January 27, 2009 5:25 PM

So are we going to talk about this quote or what???

Posted by: bayridgegirl at January 27, 2009 5:32 PM

Actually, I have never given sager advise on this site.
This little house is a chick/guy magnet. It's like a friendly Golden Retriever without the shedding or the poop.
-Posted by: sam at January 27, 2009 5:08 PM

Sorry, Sam I had to post it here.
You really think this house is chick/guy magnet?? I think I'd be more attracted by the Golden Retriever!

Posted by: bayridgegirl at January 27, 2009 5:35 PM

What's a saggy moob? I'm worried I might have them.

Posted by: mopar at January 27, 2009 6:27 PM

Mopar, as a female, I doubt you have them.

moob = man boobs

Posted by: bayridgegirl at January 27, 2009 6:40 PM

This is why I don't think Rob is on the level:

"was sally field the chick who played twins by herself on that patty duke show back in the middle of the last century?"

could anyone truly be this clueless? I think not.

.....who is Rob really?
