Finger Brickin' Good

finger brickin' good

Workers began installing a skin of brick-colored tiles on Williamsburg's notorious Finger Building this week. And we just couldn't resist the headline.

Sorry.

Those are not bricks. As an architect -- and as a resident of Williamsburg -- I find them, along with almost everything else about this tower, to be completely insulting. To quote the fat funnyman Chris Farley:

Tommy : Here's how I see it. A guy puts a guarantee on the box 'cause he wants you to fell all warm and toasty inside.
Ted : Yeah, makes a man feel good.
Tommy : 'Course it does. Ya think if you leave that box under your pillow at night, the Guarantee Fairy might come by and leave a quarter.
Ted : What's your point?
Tommy : The point is, how do you know the Guarantee Fairy isn't a crazy glue sniffer? "Building model airplanes" says the little fairy, but we're not buying it. Next thing you know, there's money missing off the dresser and your daughter's knocked up, I seen it a hundred times.
Ted : But why do they put a guarantee on the box then?
Tommy : Because they know all they solda ya was a guaranteed piece of shit. That's all it is. Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time. But for right now, for your sake, for your daughter's sake, ya might wanna think about buying a quality item from me.
Ted : Hmm. Okay, I'll buy from you.
