MrGreen, you get more and more Silence of the Lambs with every post you make.

patrick (the other one), MrGreen would like to complement you. Only three of your last six posts are directed towards him. You've made some progress with your obsession. And no, you still can't have his e-mail address or telephone number.

MrGreen puts the lotion on his skin and places it in the (sustainable bamboo) basket.

Put the hand soap in the same room as the latex hand light fixture from yesterday.

Those hand soaps set a whole new standard for creepy.

I love the little hands, because I have a small collection of left hands -- porcelain, wooden, an old glove display hand, one piece of actual art with a left hand glove in a sort of clear wire & fabric box with feathers, and so on -- and the fact that the soap is creepy only adds to its charm.

I have a life-like foot someplace, that was made to go on the end of a prosthetic leg. I used to use it as a door stop. Anybody want it?

MrGreen, I soooo don't want your phone number. Even though I'm guessing it would be nice to have *someone* call you.

Yes, you people may laugh, laugh all you want.

But just wait until the cyber-stalking swine-boy needs another piece of skin for his body-suit and turns his appalling gaze on on of *you*.

MrGreen will have no sympathy for you, either.

JonB, I'd love to have that foot, but I'd like to specify that I am NOT (I repeat, NOT) a foot fetishist... Because I'm sure someone has thought of that possibility. (I obviously have ;) )

The tiny hands are definitely creepy, though. I'm pretty sure I'd have nightmares of those hand soaps going down their little plate on their tiny fingers to come and strangle me in the middle of the night. Brrr.

MrGreen--
I look forward to meeting you at the next Apartment Therapy function, where I hope you can have the thrill of calling me swine-boy to my face, instead of tucked safely behind the anonymity of your screen name.

In the meantime, I'm sure ATers would love a house tour, to see how one so green, erudite, and responsible actually lives.

I would love to have that foot for a dog toy. I can just imagine the looks of horror when my 70 lb Staffordshire Terrier strolls through the park with it in her mouth. (She likes to bring a "baby" along sometimes.)

Those hands are fantastic. I have a bunch of hollow, plastic doll parts (don't ask!). I may have a soap experiment in my future.

MrGreen, please stop being so horrible. Your posts were funny at first. Then merely deliberately provocative and attention-seeking. Now you are just being nasty and intimidating. Its making me feel that the whole site is becoming negative and prickly in a way it never used to be, and frankly I don't want to read it as much. I don't intend to attack your right to say whatever you please, or to be challenging and disagreeable. That's your right and I can either answer back or ignore it. But your last post just went too far and I feel I have to say/do something. Is it just me?
PS that soap is creepy.

Will never happen. You may not have MrGreen's e-mail address or phone number. You will never meet him. You will never see his apartment nor anything that he owns. Your obsession with MrGreen is an illness. Please discuss it with a mental health provider and stop inflicting it on Apartment Therapy blog readers.

i agree with tin_angel. at first i thought oh he is trying to be funny, but no...you have a negative undertone.
not cute at all. and its ok. we dont want to see your place. as much as your tempted to show us. i rather pass. Cause i believe those that talk a big game have nothing to show for it.

but you should try to ease up on your snarkiness. believe or not some ppl are here for advice, not a lesson in snark.
and save yourself the predictable mr green response this time. heard it all before....its a broken record.

but back to the soap...it is CREEPY...lil hands..ahhh
they should make lil ears..or noses.. even creepier
