Muppet gone AWOL

Spotted in the Slope on 6th Ave and 5th Street:

Sesame Street, we have a problem...

I don't think that Elmo fully thought out this escape route.  Things must have been pretty rough with his toddler master - godspeed, little muppet, godspeed...

Abandoned Toys: Now with commentary (and hair color options)!

Spotted in the Slope on 11th Street and 6th Ave:

Best. Advertising. Ever.

I love this photo for the following reasons:

1. The random commentary provided by the donor (who has the printing of a small child) for specific items.  Not only are the phrases enticing ("No Bed Bugs" and "It works!"), but ambiguous, in that it is unclear if the other items also work or are without bed bugs.  Geez - talk about amateur give away technique... pffft.

2. Mom was not forgotten in this extravaganza - hair color is included (although if she wants to go red, it appears that she is SOL)!

3. The lunch box, which has nothing funny about it - I just really liked it, and was very close to adopting the little guy...

Neglected Circle of Neglect

Mmmmmmm - grimy

Note that this gem was not left out on a garbage day, suggesting the former owner was hoping a new home would take it in.  This leads me to today's hot tip: when trying to give away used baby items, first consider removing the excessive dirt, left-over food particles and baby vomit from said items.

I don't care what this kid's mom told him - giving up a race car bed for a big boy bed is NOT a step forward.
