DIBS – I’ve never seen him when he isn’t raving at anyone and everyone, and often madly shaking his cane skyward, and he calls one of my colleagues names which I won’t repeat here. He is my visual for the What when the What reaches his breaking point and gets really mad.
Carroll…I’ve said hello to him a number of times and as long as he hasn’t started into the full blown raving, he’s rather polite (kinda like the What here). 🙂
I’d love to try and have a conversation with him some day.
I used to live at the corner of 54 & Lex and there’s an asian guy who appears to be homeless around that area but actually is not. He packs up his signs and leaves in the evenings. he has a cell phone and my doorman told me once that he sees him order Chinese food and get it delivered to his corner!!!!! Only in NYC!!!!
DIBS – Checked out early on Friday, but saw your follow up on the Awaye Realty thread. I’m at 485 Lex, between 46-47. Your description is dead on, so the lunatic you described has to be the guy we call “Purple Leggings Guy”. He’s always on a SE corner, but sometimes we see him as far up as 45th.
It continues to amaze me what people think they can get away with in the digital age. Whether a shady broker or amorous governor, people are just not cognizant of the little electronic breadcrumbs they are dropping as they go. If you want to go undetected at whatever you are doing, you’ve got to get a bit further off the grid to do it. Whatever gain Awaye thought it might have by co-opting the fsbo posting, it has suffered a far greater harm to its credibility due to the exposure of its shenanigans.
ha. so i never made it to coco island this weekend like i had planned and wound up hanging out at the south street seaport instead. (wtf!?). i wanted to go on one of those boat tours but they were insanely expensive, so i decided to go on the staten island ferry. going to staten island was fine and very enjoyable, but then omg on the way back with the throngs of people from staten island coming into manhattan.. gack! it was like all the staten island stereotypes were true x 100. hahahha. an obese woman with pink hair slapped her kid on the deck! (maybe it was her little brother, i have no idea).
Biff, thanks for the heads up. Post was awesome! Who ever this EdNorton guy is, he should be invited into the OT and given a PLUSA membership immediately. I think he passed the initiation with that detective work.
If someone sees him around, as DIBS puts it “invite him to the dark side”.

if idiots thought things through, they wouldn’t be labeled idiots. Idiots don’t think before acting / deciding on something

And yes, I do read Women’s Wear Daily obsessively 😉
(actually was linked on NYMag site).
