Novo Egg Man Strikes Again!
On Saturday a reader sent in the following note about the latest egging incident at the dog run underneath the Novo condo: “I was at the Park Slope Dog Run in Washington Park this evening at 7.45pm, and an egg was once again thrown from the condo, and almost hit my husband…My dog barked at…
On Saturday a reader sent in the following note about the latest egging incident at the dog run underneath the Novo condo: “I was at the Park Slope Dog Run in Washington Park this evening at 7.45pm, and an egg was once again thrown from the condo, and almost hit my husband…My dog barked at the other dog, as dogs do, and suddenly an egg came from the sky landing on the ground next to my husband. He’s sure that if it had hit him, he would have been hurt. I live opposite the school neighbouring the dog park. I have kids screaming outside my apartment most of the time. I moved there, I cannot complain about noise in the neighbourhood…” As it turns out, the reader was well within her rights to be using the dog run at 7:45: We incorrectly reported in the past that the run closes at sundown (because that’s what the Parks Dept. posters inside of it say) but, according to Kim Maier, the executive director of the park’s Old Stone House, the run was actually built to be accessible 24 hours a day even though the official closing time of the park as a whole is 10 p.m. (Yes, it’s confusing.) Maier also says that the Novo’s board and the precinct have been notified about the latest egging. Perhaps Park Slope’s crazed egg chucker will soon be brought to justice…

Slope Dog Run Egging On At Least One Novo Resident [Brownstoner]
Has anyone considered this may be a natural phenomenon? Maybe there are wild chickens roosting in the trees and everyone is getting upset over nothing!
…
Sitting in a condo, waiting for the dog to bark.
Irritation no fun, stupid bloody dog run.
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your dog grow loud.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob…
Well, then it has nothing to do with dogs… but the park. So let’s get rid of all the parks!! They’re just full of people. Dumb people.
Did one ever think that perhaps not the dog barking the problem…but some yappy dog-owner on cellphone? You know the type..forever yelling into the thing in most irritating voice. Thinking the world needs to hear his/her mundane conversation.
I wonder if the eggs will cook in the summertime…
“When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.” -Jonathan Swift
is that a free range and/or organic egg?
I’m hungry.
Oh, and someone needs to tell the Novo egg thrower that one egg is un oeuf.
Coo coo ca joob. Classic case of “coming to the nuisance.” Novo developers, who were on the hook to remake Terrapin in exchange for being allowed to take over the area during development, knew where the plans for the renovated park would put the dog run and the plans were public. Anyone who looked at an apt on that side of the building would have looked out their prospective window and seen a massive construction zone. Anyone doing so and foolish enough not to ask what the finished product was going to be has no complaint. And if the developers or their agents misled anyone, they, and not the dog owners lawfully using the run, are to blame for the resident’s discomfort with the noise.
