JMT says: Picture 4-44"I ran accross this flickr photo by accident. Apparently, it's an exact replica of 'Chairy' from PeeWee's playhouse found on the side of the street, wet and neglected. I think it might be New York. How could the photographer have not picked it up?!?!?!" Link

    “ma bukket… it is gone”

  • Nick D

    Eww. If I were that photographer, I would have contented myself with just a photo, too. :)

  • pepsi_max2k

    “sulky chair… is sulking”
    “i used to get all the booty on me”
    “i can not has booty”
    “they use you. it’s all they do.”

    If it’s in NY, it’s non Manhattan. Probably one of the borough, Queens or Brooklyn.

  • Ape Lad

    Poor Chairy. I love that show. This photo made me gasp. She’s welcome here anytime.

  • mrhappynyc

    A good reason for not pick it up:
    There’s an absolute epidemic of bedbugs in NYC.
    Many people unwittingly bring them into their
    homes by picking things up off the street.

    My SO and I just survived such an infestation.
    It cost us thousands and required
    us throw away half of our posessions.

    That smiling chair could cause tears later :(

  • SierraNightTide

    I would have taken the chair! I think it’s cute

  • Eli

    Sorry, but ya just don’t go around picking up furniture off the curb in Brooklyn. (It’s very hard to “un-piss” something)

  • Bobby Galaxy

    had to:

    LOLChair

  • anthropomorphictoast

    Both sad and funny at the same time. :(
