Nothing says, ‘Happy Holidays’ better than a crazy super sign.

Oh, and he hates a cold building — damn tenants always opening and closing the doors when then come and go!

This sign was posted on the door o’ Crazy Super Signs author. 

It doesn’t appear to be the work of the Crazy Super himself — it’s straightforward to the point, has large block letters, is written in crayon instead of bic pen and the letters themselves don’t appear to be in his style.

While it isn’t the middle of the freezing winter just yet, it would can get quite cold should you find yourself without heat at night. 

Let’s hope that this is the beginning of a new author whose work rivals that of the original!

In other news, a 311 lack of heat complaint would do a better job than this sign.

The crankiest former super has been up to some to dangerous activity today — he’s working the polls and trying to start a rebellion.  We saw him working the polls this morning at P.S. 185 on Ridge Blvd. and 86th Street (he’ll probably be there until 9PM tonight) and since then we spotted several signs that appear to be his work taped up along 3rd Avenue. 

Yes, the man who doesn’t pick his dog poop up and who locked all of the full garbage cans inside of the building that he lives in to spite his fellow tenants works the polls each year to help keep democracy going — but that’s not the juicy part, this is…

To quote the poor penmanship sans caps:

“I urge all New Yorkers not to vote for Bloomberg on 11-3-09, he raised sales tax 2x last 4yrs, closed fire houses, raised your cigarette prices, trash cans not getting picked up but 1x a day & none on wkends. rent stabilized apts. getting hit hard every yr. with high rent increases, because of his puppets, new ball parks built for Mets & Yanks & Ground Zero is still Ground Zero.  He runs a very corrupt police dept.  Ray Kelly belongs in a jail cell next to Bernie Kerik.  His cops are a bunch of drunks killing people, he did nothing to stop MTA from raising fares in 8 yrs.  If Yanks win World Series, he probably will have a parade.  Remember, the city is very broke.  Keep this in mind on Tues. 11-3-09  Kill the Motherf*cker”

Now, some of you might be asking if we saw the Crazy Super Signs author writing these signs or hanging them up.  To that, we must answer an astounding NO. 

That said, we do have a rather extensive library of his handwritten ramblings that go back over two plus years and have read his work extensively for years prior to that.  Using those as a frame of reference, it would appear as though this ’Kill the m-f’er’ sign was done by him. 

Don’t think that there was only one of these signs taped up.  Here’s another sign that lacks the ‘Kill the m-f’er.’  We find this lack of conviction of the part of the author to be quite purplexing.  All of the signs that we saw today appeared to be photocopies, this means that he ran off a few, then realized that he forgot one last detail and ran off several more.  Go figure.

We know of three others that were torn down throughout the day.

Happy Election Day!!!

It’s been months since there was last a crazy super sign, however, this changed as of yesterday when he let his fellow tenants know that when you open the door, you let the cold inside!

I wonder what sign he has on his own refrigerator: “To Myself!  Please shut fridge door all the way.  When left open I get cold!  Fri. 10-16-2009′

It was bound to happen…Richard Martin, the man behind the crazy/cranky super signs has hit youtube.  This week two youtube videos landed in our inbox. 

Enjoy ‘Pretty Girl’ riding the pony!  fyi Martin is the dude in blue who walks in and out of the store.

In this second video he can be heard “Couple of weeks ago…”

Should you want to go through his sign catolog of hate, you can read them here.

It’s been roughly six months since the author of the crazy super signs was fired from his job as super of a neighborhood building. 

The replacement super has been able to get the garbage out to the curb without much problems, the lights to the building have been on and the 70-something year old former super who was full of rage hasn’t been tossed out into the streets. 

While his signs have ceased for the most, he’s still up to the old antics that the community has known him for over the past many years. 

Just yesterday Girlfriend caught him enjoying an impromptu photo op for his “fans”, or at the very least a couple of kids who when they grow up will have tales to tell of the wacky old man who looked as though he always wore a padded bra and definitely wore one glove (just like Michael Jackson) most of the time and used to have his dog ride a quarter machine pony for kicks.   

He was telling the kids to get closer so that they could get a better shot - and he wasn’t even asking for two bucks per picture!

Does this mean that the Crazy Super has gone soft?

Nope, he’s just allowing his crank to be focused in more constructive ways.

Just last week I watched him berate a man who decided to park his car at a fire hydrant while he went across the street to eat cupcakes with the excuse of “I can’t park it in front of the church!”

Martin went on and on and on for several minutes pointing out the dangers of parking at a fire hydrant while the driver was off eating cupcakes until finally the driver got back in his car and drove off to find a legal parking spot before going inside for cupcakes - well done Richard Martin, I commend you!

The other day I walked past the apartment building that has the crazy super signs and saw the first new one in a couple of months - he was fired and had been keeping his magic markers in his pockets of late, but he couldn’t let this “careless” rolled up and folded nicely for the garbage pick up rug go by without adding his two cents.

“TO TENANT WHO PUT OUT ThIS RUG.  COMMON SENCE WOULD BE TO TIE IT UP SO SANITATION CAN PICK IT UP EASY I GUESS IT IS TOO MUCH FOR YOUR BRAINS”

Which I believe is just his way of saying, “Hey, thanks for rolling up your rug and folding it up nicely for the garbage pick up.  Keep up the good work!”

Even though our favorite crazy super lost his job he still loves putting up “helpful” notes for people.  I found this gentle reminder hanging on the front door Friday evening, and it is addressed to the new and MUCH BETTER super who puts garbage out properly and even sorts the recyclables without complaint or bigoted remarks.

If the author of this note was only as so kind with the way he wrote the scores of notes to his tenants he might still have a job - the note was ripped down come Sunday.

Just before the calendar turned to 2009 the new super that took over for the crazy super posted his very first sign.

At least I assume that the new super placed the sign up and the actual owner didn’t trek on down to post it.

Anyway, you’ll notice that it is VERY MUCH the opposite of the old crazy super before him.  It’s typed up, signed “Management”, and there isn’t a threat written in it - not even thinly veiled threat!

Oddly enough, as I took that photo I felt the earth beneath me was frozen…yes…yes indeed….hell has frozen over!

For those of you who were worried that an elderly vet (and self admitted wife beater) was going to be evicted in the Christmas season, don’t worry - according to the Daily News Richard Martin has not been evicted.

This is a rather mixed bag of news -I’m both happy and annoyed that the man isn’t getting tossed out.  See, there were numerous people concerned that Martin would go on a murderous rampage, or perhaps burn down the building before his last day living there. 

I’m glad that he is staying and that the idea of a really bad rage filled incident will most likely not occur, and at the same time this means that the guy will be way too close for comfort for me. 

And in case anyone is wondering, with the new owners and super of the building came new flood lights by the entrance to the building.  There are two VERY bright lights than illuminate roughly 20 feet around the building which has turned what had been a very dark hang out spot in front of the building into a very bright “I don’t want to hang out and drink a 40oz here all night long” spot.

Lastly, I’d like to clarify to some authors in the blogosphere out there…the story of Richard Martin didn’t go viral after the Daily News piece - the Daily News and Post caught up to the viral mayhem that is Richard Martin.

That’s right folks, Richard Martin called the NY Daily News and let them know that he was fired from his job as super of the building, and even better - the new owner of the building has asked for Martin to leave!

14 years worth of dog shit, alleged automobile vandalism, and general a$$holery on his part - he’s finally DONE!

Gone is a self admitted wife beater! 

Have a good rest of your life while living off of your MTA pension check, DICK!

Lastly, if you’re reading this Richard, nobody wants to take a photo of you and your dog for two bucks!

There’s been a rampage of breaking and entering, home invasions and flat out strong arm robberies in my neighborhood during the past few weeks.  The crazy super author could care less about all of this and instead would much rather just have a clean goddamned floor!

He swept and mopped the common areas of the building between 2:40 and 3:30AM the other night.

And he wants the garbage situation finally resolved!!!

And he doesn’t mind giving the public a collage of passive aggressive semi coherent ramblings to make his point!

And he must let you all know by his example, when you tape a piece of paper to the door, use exactly eight pieces of tape!
