Benson, you wouldn't still be here unless you enjoyed taking this kind of thing, so not pity at all from me.

"Wow, not words a man wants to hear at that moment."

Not necessarily true. It can be pretty hot to know you are fulfilling your biological imperative. Makes you feel like an animal.

My grandfather was president of the NRA for a number of years. He had some really sweet guns. He also had a concealed carry permit. He once pulled his gun on some wannabe muggers in the subway. He didn't pull a Bernie Goetz or anything, just made them piss themselves and threw them off the train.

I basically have a direct line of sight view into Lloyd Blankfein's office from my office. And a view of the roof of teh GS HQ, which is interesting, because every once in a while a bunch of power suits come out and walk slowly around the roof and huddle and talk. I would guess they are talking about very important things. Or maybe strippers. Or maybe lunch.

Hiya Kens. I'm pretty much chilling over at asshathill these days. Just couldn't resist dropping by with some sexual innuendo. I'm outta here for now. Feel free to drop by over there any time if you want to chat.

And to be clear, it's not like you can't put a cup in the trunk, it's just that the trunk is pretty dirty and you have to clean the cup off before you can put it in the cup holder, and no way anyone's going to take a drink after it's been in the trunk.

Posted by: lechacal at November 11, 2009 11:50 AM in response to Open Thread

Biff, I have a pretty good cup holder in my car. I could put my cup on the dashboard, or pretty much anywhere for that matter, but I try to keep it in the cup holder, in my hand, or on my lap. Otherwise it just spills and I have to clean up a mess. I suppose I could put it in the trunk, but prefer not to.

"If you live there, your walk to the subway is through arguably the most beautiful streets of NYC. Twice everyday you'll be treated to a beautiful walk to the subway. That is worth a lot, in my opinion."

You want to live somewhere shitty just so you can walk through somewhere nice twice a day?

m4l - was not in Chinatown last night. And no, there will be no evidence of any kind of the night of the strip club with The What. His identitiy will be as secure as your file at NSA.

The What and I are going to a strip club together in the near future.

Gosh, didn't know posting on another blog was so controversial. We pretty much talk about all the stuff that people don't seem to want to hear about over there, so I figured you would all rather we not have those convos here. I just don't really have any interest in having a hall monitor tell me I'm offending people or shouldn't be posting with sock puppets (which I don't, except for megapussi, that was totally me) or whatever. So I am throwing a big fun party over at asshathill. If anyone doesn't like it - well, don't read it.

There are plenty of hammocks and cold drinks over there if anyone wants to stop by.

Hasta.

Just stopped by to see what's going on over here...

Hey C-Gar, whats up? The only reason I fuck around on the internet is to have fun. I'm having fun over on asshathill. Maybe I'll have fun again here later. Who knows.

And FYI everyone: Mrs Jackal is coming to Union Hall October 15th.

I'll be over at asshathill. If anyone wants to chat about strippers and weed and hand jobs, feel free to stop by. You're always welcome.

That's funny CGUps, because frankly I've never been particularly fascinated by them. I kind of feel like I'm supposed to like them but I'm more into other stuff.

haha you guys (girls) rule. But I'm still going to hang out over at asshathill today.

I wish I could go out tonight but I'll be working till the wee hours. I'm getting less and less gruntled every day.

All this working is making me look tired and soft. I'd better watch out or AL will say I look "not scary."

"And that's NOT crossing the line?"

Nope, cause I have no idea who you are. But I do know you are being an unpleasant bitch, and that's ugly. Don't care what you look like. Really, skarking on someone's appearance like that? That's just fucking rude and catty.

The funny thing is hipster totally called it when he said women are meaner to each other than men. And I think we all have a pretty good idea who another lurker is.

I like bitter and beoch. I think they're pretty damn funny. And they don't get sanctimonious about anything at all. They're just funny. I don't think they have ever pretended to take the moral high road on anything or pretend they are the keepers of the rules that everyone else has to play by. So bitter and beoch, you're awesome.

I'll be over at asshathill while everyone works the sand out of their vaginas.

yeah beoch, good thing I didn't listen to anything offensive this morning, like "A Lap Dance is So Much Better When the Stripper is Crying" by the Bloodhound Gang (they also did Fire Water Burn and Bad Touch, both instant classics).

On the subway this morning I listened to the following on my ipod (this is what I can remember from the commute anyway). when I say "listen" I mean I listen until I get bored and skip to the next song, usually about halfway through:

- Amused to Death (Roger Waters)
- Ana Ng - They Might be Giants
- Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares (don't know name of song)
- DJ Song (some kind of techno - but that's the name of the song)
- Walk on the Wild Side (Lou Reed) - actually listened to the whole thing, which is unusual
- Legend of the Fall-Offs (Busta Rymes)

Arkady - the only logical inference from your post is that you are rich. If you are not then a study on you would not be worthwhile as it would be incapable of proving the thesis.

Posted by: lechacal at September 28, 2009 1:18 PM in response to Open Thread

Biff - just make sure your bank account routing number is in there. I know a guy in Nigeria who's going to make you rich.

I'm sure I can work you into some impromptu drinking. Whenever my current all-nighter hell ends that is.

Hey, nobody is saying you should be spilling it on the board... my point was that I personally know who hipster is (at least I *think* I do) and he knows who I am and that's kind of a prerequisite to my sending somebody an email and saying hey let's go get drunk together.

You mean how I said I wasn't inviting him out to one-on-one drinks b/c I don't know who he is? That's just fact, not meant to be offensive or anything. Happy to hang with biff at any of the larger gatherings and he's lots of fun to talk to.

Biff maybe we can have a big pretend blow-out fight sometime. Not on Yom Kippur though, that would proabably be wrong.

The lack of trade-ups will take years to work its way through prices. It's kind of like the person at the front of a slowly moving line just stopping and everyone else bumping into the back of the next person. Two thing I can say with confidence:

1. It will take years for the removal of consistent equity gains and consequent trade-ups to work its way through NYC housing prices. People are still talking about how many people out there have so much built up equity that they just don't care about prices

2. Once that process is done the kind of upwards price pressure created by consistently rising housing prices will be very difficult to get started again.

Posted by: lechacal at September 28, 2009 11:36 AM in response to The Darkness at Richard Meier's Brooklyn Tower

Not sure why there is so much emotion here. I'm not jealous of this building. I wouldn't live there if the prices were 50% of what they are now, but that's just my preference. My only observation is that the right price point for these units is significantly south of where they started marketing and somewhere south of where they are now. It's just an observation of market dynamics. People who bought at bubbly prices have a loss that is extremely unlikely to be recouped (in real terms). They can couch their response to this in empotional terms and explain why they are at peace with it, and that's fine, but the fact remains they have lost a bunch of money. No big deal to me and great if its isn't a big deal to them.
