CandyOlsent-CourtneyWagner-BananaBikes-SWNY2-6Storage Wars: New York: Season 2, Episode 6: “Pigs in a Pug.”

John Luke ate goulash. Joe P listened to the grapevine in search of future fortune. Tad encouraged to find a ‘Whoo-Hoo’ item. Chris agreed. Mike bent on breaking the Brooklyn curse. Candy and Courtney rode their banana-bikes to the facility. That was not a good idea.

1roomSWNY2-61st Room
Tall glass display case, air conditioner, rubber containers, canvas bags, boxes, small safe, and miscellaneous items tossed about the storage unit.

Joe P: This is the room of the wishful thinker.

Fierce battle between Candy and Tad until the bid rose a bit above $300. Tad thought he had it in the bag until The Hustler bumped the bid. That discombobulated Tad and Chris. Tad bid $400. Chris bid $425 and won. They bid against each other.

Blunder-Nuts!Score-Boardswny2-6

As they rifled through the storage unit, they found papier-mâché masks, clown costumes including clown shoes, and a small helium-filled tank. Oh yeah, they both inhaled and sounded like munchkins.

They did find an electronic scoreboard. Took it to Prudential Center. Gamecraft board used in man-caves or sports bars. Valued at $400.

2roomSWNY2-62nd Room
Room divider, luggage, and a few small boxes neatly packed and stacked. Joe P showed little interest. Tad and Chris out. Candy and Courtney liked the small items. Easy to haul.

Mike: I think the girls like it. Which means I like it.

Oh, the games they play. Chris nudged Mike to place a bid and that he did, much to C&C’s chagrin. Frustrated, Courtney flipped-the-bird bid.

John Luke: No obscene gestures!

Hey, it’s New York. What did you expect? Courtney won at $450. How did Courtney retaliate at Mike for making them pay double for that room? She pulled on Mike’s ear. Ow!

Mike: Don’t hate the player. Hate the game.

Put ice on that ear, Mikey. Candy then made an ominous prediction (or quote from Game of Thrones).

Candy: Winter is coming, Mike B. Winter is coming.

Chills, Mike, feel the chills.

Candy and Courtney returned the following day in their banana van. Gals entered their storage unit. Not much there. Pork-Splitter-Knife-SWNY2-6Luggage contained vacuumed sealed clothing (hit and miss). Gals also discovered an airbrush machine, tool, blanket, and a mother-of-all cleavers.

At the butcher shop, the gals were told it’s not a cleaver but a Foster Brother’s “pork-splitter.” (I’m not explaining its use, guess.) Dated back to the 1950s. Sold to butcher for $50.

3roomSWNY2-63rd Room
Instrument case, tripod, Polaroid film, art, photography prints, duffel bag, and boxes.

Candy and Courtney encouraged Mike to buy the storage unit. But when it comes to art, it had Joe P’s name written all over it. He wonat $450.

First box mish-mosh, whatnots, and what-have yous (his words, not mine). Ukulele, 18-carat jewelry, 40-pieces of photography art, 50-pieces of photographs, and an enormous lens.Antique-Camera-Lens-SWNY2-6

Lens made in 1904. Very rare (according to expert), but in its present condition valued at $800.

Mike could not break the Brooklyn curse. He decided not to leave the auction empty handed. He broke the lock to Candy’s and Courtney’s banana-bikes. Loaded bikes onto the back of his pick-up. Drove away.

Goodbye, Brooklyn!
