OK, I spent so much time avoiding work on Friday that I had to come to work today to get stuff done. I am missing the Giants game, but I am convinced that 1. The Giants will win and 2. If I actually watch the game, the Giants might lose. If you don’t have blue panties, DIBS, I’ll gladly let you borrow a pair.
None of you have guessed my old name. Yet. Yes, if you guess, I will tell.
This is like a soap opera. I just wish I had a killer body and could sleep with all the hotties, get married and divorced and married and divorced, lose my memory, have an evil twin and have a child that goes from 3 to 21 in 2 seasons.
I do own a house in the eastlake style and I have more than 1 fireplace. I own a 3 story, red brick, Federalist-style home. It is a lot of work to get it up to speed and I have a long way to go, but I love it and would never trade it for the world.
Brownstoner could tell you who I am but I hope he doesn’t.
So much drama I am afraid the truth would be a big disappointment!
Now …… should we end this this week, or shall we just let the old me die – no great loss it seems – and allow Miss Chiff to claim her rightful place among the greats of Brownstoner?!
I’m going to say this about What – he’s more educated/brighter than I think most people give him credit for. I think he’s a lousy typist most days, but if you read some of his calmer posts – the spelling and vocabulary is there. It would be an interesting move to call What a homeless guy as a distraction from the get-go! [See Miss Chiff’s very first post in the profile.]
Hi ISNH – it very well could be a man, as Benson is only guessing like the rest of us. I’m pretty certain it is a male poster. In that vein, am also not convinced Miss Muffett is a woman, but that’s just me (some of “her” posts are just too over the top, almost fake, in their prudishness and pretentiousness – like a guy just having a laugh at people thinking he’s a [very annoying] mother with kids)!
I just re-read Benson’s clues. He continues to emphasize that Miss Chiff is a good writer. Could it really be the What? What is not know for stringing together a sentence that is free of severe grammatical and spelling errors (no offense, What, just noting the facts). Possibly he disguises himself as Miss Chiff and writes very carefully and utilizes spell check so as not to give away his true identity? It’s a reach, I know, but I’m so stumped right now I can hear my brain cells popping!
Woofer, how can it be a man? Benson said my short list is correct and, aside from the What, it includes no males. Based on your knowledge of who rents and who owns, I’m going to have to go with Lisa. But, the conspiracy portion of my brain is saying that Miss Chiff may have claimed an 1890’s mantle and Eastlake style home as her own but in fact does not own it. How better to disguise your identity? Simply describe a house you know very well, perhaps that of a friend or relative, or if you are in the business, a home you have worked on – and pass it off as your own.
Biff lives in Brooklyn Heights, but I have no idea what kind of house he lives, must assume Brownstone.
Ok, here’s the house post: I have something similar, though a little less ornate. My house dates from the 1890’s. My house is in the Eastlake style, so I am not surprised by the similarities. Luckly this one wasn’t painted over a million times like mine was.
So this person is an owner – that crosses BRG & bxgrl – Muffett’s renting her Tuffett – so were down to Lisa.
What is HIGHLY unlikey – but I will laugh so hard, I will pee in my pants if it is!
I dunno, I read through Lisa’s posts and it just doesn’t sound like her. I can’t remember if she said where she lives…
I dunno, just a lark, but we haven’t heard from I_haz_two_toilets in a while. Hmmm.
After this I give up … Denton.

I OFFICIALLY GIVE UP!

I still think it sounds more like 11217.
