Sherlock game

Let's play a game. I was looking at this picture I took to illustrate the new lightbulbs in the dining room and it struck me that there is probably quite a lot you could infer about our lives just from this one picture. So what can you infer?

you're married.

Mismatched dining room chairs could indicate you haven't been married long, or that you're graduate students.

Slipcover and oversized tablecloth indicate a shedding cat with claws who jumps onto table and scratches everything. At least it does at Casa de DocTee.

You had all-you-can-eat wings for dinner and haven't finished clearing the napkins.

(There IS a Subs and Wings place real close near the Waldwick train station that we'll have to check out though) DocTee wrote: Slipcover and oversized tablecloth indicate a shedding cat with claws who jumps onto table and scratches everything. At least it does at Casa de DocTee. The slipcover IS to protect the chair, but the oversized tablecloth is a result of the the 100 year old dining room table that is adjustable from seating for 2 to seating for 8. We're one leaf short in this picture, had parents over last weekend and company this weekend so left it big-sized.

Well, 35 months today, but along the same lines, since we just moved in. The mismatched is because the cats have adopted the chairs/cushions as beds and we keep one in the bedroom at her request so she can sleep near us when we're too fidgety to share the bed with. Also because my mother is allergic to cats, so folding chairs that we really should've put away or it defeats the purpose of a cat free chair.

Is that a bottle of siracha on the table?

Artwork on the wall says you're married, probably recently, but no kids. Recent change to latter-day lightbulbs suggest you lean left of center, or have grudgingly accepted that you live in a left-of-center-controlled regulatory state, or neither, but on the issue of lightbulbs, you just give a shit. Plus, you're not Amish.

Omgosh Ceeter I just started a thread so incredibly similar.... Anyway, is that a closet? If so, the lack of warm clothing or coats indicates that you live in a warm climate.

Yeah, on closer inspection (ie, with my glasses off) I could see it is a room

metsmarathon Sep 11 2013 11:53 AM Re: Sherlock game

i don't know, but the lack of centeredness of the picture on the right side of the back wall is deeply unnerving to me. and the rug-under-table phenomenon is something which is entirely foreign to me. so much so that i must strike up a new thread to explore the notion further.

themetfairy Sep 11 2013 11:57 AM Re: Sherlock game

At least one of you likes candles.

The old owners had something in the corner, so that nail presumably held something that looked more center. We haven't put our own holes in the walls yet, still sorta deciding where everything goes, and if we want to paint first. "Rose" is not necessarily our favorite color.

cooby Sep 12 2013 08:35 AM Re: Sherlock game

I can see two things that indicate no a/c and that it has been warm recently. One is fairly obvious. Can anyone else see the other clue?

metsmarathon Sep 12 2013 09:26 AM Re: Sherlock game

the window is open, and the candles have bent

cooby Sep 12 2013 09:35 AM Re: Sherlock game

Good job! (clapping crowd picture!)

Ceetar Sep 12 2013 12:12 PM Re: Sherlock game

Of course the window is open so the cat can climb on the sill, and the candles are bent because I'm crappy at putting them in the holders straight. They're new, only been burned for about 30 minutes before we moved. It's actually the opposite, it'd been cool lately and I had the window open because I didn't need the central air.

You're not homeless. You have a camera.
