crankly

there is a 'crankly' brooklyn landlord recently highlighted by gawker as one of the few new york eccentrics left. i've transcribed the note he left about the use of trashcans in his building because it cracked me up.

YOU TENANTS BETTER STOP BEING SO STUPID AND RETARDED
WHEN I PUT GARBAGE CANS
OUT, I EXPECT YOU TO PUT
YOUR GARBAGE IN THOSE CANS AND
NOT ON TOP OF OTHER CANS AND COVERS

LAST WARNING

i wish he had kept up the crazy tone a little more for the whole thing. it starts off promising, and then kind of peters off and sounds almost normal at the end... until we find out that it is... THE LAST WARNING!





this almost makes me wish i didn't have the most hands-off super in the history of the world. also, crankly is an awesome word. like crinkly and cranky. i haven't decided whether i think the gawker did that on purpose or if the writer just thinks that is how 'cranky' is spelled. my aunt makes delicious cookies called chocolate crinkles and now i want some. damn you, crankly landlord! damn youuuu!!
