Uh oh. I remember what happened the last time one PLUSA referred to another as "garbage".

Biff,
I cast no aspersions on more4less. I got a chuckle being reminded of the handle as I was walking by. And I am from the good ole USA but I resemble the implication that I'm a PL.

Bklnite, funny!
The picture is priceless. Doesn't look like the real M4L, other than the fact they are both quite colourful.

when you gonna lose that spelling accent, Biff.

M4L- we talked about the color scheme for your apartment. this is so not what we discussed. And what happened to all the period detail? Terrible gut rehab. Terrible.

"the last time one PLUSA referred to another as "garbage"."
I believe the phrase was "Garbage." and it was referring to posts, not a person.
Thank you,

Well Cobble, you did give me some sort of "recognition" for misquoting people, so I have to live up to that reputation.
:-)
Btw, I actually thought you were spot on with the "Garbage" comment.

Is that second "a" a long one, giving a faux elegant French Canadian accent to garbaaage?
Posted by: bxgrl at October 22, 2009 12:32 PM
I prefer the regional pronunciation: Garbaagio.
Posted by: cobblehiller at October 22, 2009 12:39 PM
Not gahbarge?
Posted by: bxgrl at October 22, 2009 12:41 PM
Hmm, sometimes, or gab-idge.
I sometimes like the formal french pronunciation is: Gar-bah-zhay.
Posted by: cobblehiller at October 22, 2009 12:50 PM
Ah- like the beloved store, Tar-zhay

bxgrl, I was told this color scheme would be more successful in attracting tenants with dogs vs. the other scheme was for cats and you know I HATE cat lovers.

Oh- you want tenants without taste and with animals who will pee on your luxurious carpets? :)
Posted by: bxgrl at October 22, 2009 1:20 PM
oh now i see where the professionals are investing! is there a reit i can buy? ;)

Hey, M4L, I commute through your apt every day. Very convenient location.

I didn't pay attention when I took the cell phone pic, but passing the trash can again today I see the M4L campaign is for luxury apartment rentals in Yonkers. Isn't that the part of Westchester that's almost as good as being in the Bronx?
