It is a Charlie Brown christmas tree.
ReplyDeleteCan't count without the twigs besides it in a reasonable distance.
ReplyDeleteCan't count unless a trail of needles in the hall and/or elevator, which the deposer did not clean up can be tied to it.
ReplyDeleteThe skeletal remains! I think I see Christmas tree stand marks. It counts.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn’t count unless an evgrieve commenter says it doesn’t count
ReplyDeleteTime to call CSI: New York.
ReplyDeleteThey'll get to the bottom of this in 60 minutes( allowing for commercial breaks, of course).
EV L&O opening scene:
ReplyDelete[a middle aged EV'er is talking, loudly, with the super from two buildings over. They are standing on the sidewalk, it is morning]
EV'er: ...and then the dining shed got destroyed, which if you ask me couldn't have happened soon enough, I'm tired of these restaurants ripping us off. Those things are nuisances!!
Super: yeah
EV'er: ..and also we need to get rid of all the parked cars, this is not at all like the neighborhood I moved into....[pauses and looks to the corner]...hey,what is that??
Super: [barely registers surprise]
EV'er: is that an abandoned tree??
[immediately cut to later when investigators are on the scene, photos by Derek Berg]
Detective 1: seems like we can't catch a break from these cases, eh Stacie?
Detective 2 (Stacie Joy): man, Lenny. I tell you, Christmas keeps coming earlier and earlier...
Detective 1 (Lenny Briscoe): [chuckles]
[opening credits start]
Festivus
ReplyDeleteThis is not what the commentors think it is. The Parks Department does this with old tree to turn these trunks into support stakes for newly planted street trees. Take a walk around the hood and you will see some in action!
ReplyDeleteAnon 3/5/24 @ 10:44AM - Thanks, you made my day! I worked on The Mothership Law and Order from Day 1 of the Pilot through 2013, and did about a dozen of those "teasers" the opening scene. I was always the Uniformed Cop filling in the Detectives with the deets, and was often the recipient of those bon mots from the late, great Jerry Orbach.
ReplyDelete1:02 PM - For the rest of us!
