Need a Hand?

Hiya slopey…they aren’t sure what strain I’ve got, but I’m scheduled to get a regular and swine flu vaccine on Friday, but only if I’m better by then. I can’t get them while I’m still sick because the doc says it will make me worse than I am now.
Jessi,
it’s since been adopted by the financial services industry.

“You had a ribeye AND short ribs???”
DIBS, it’s all one entree…a sampling of both. The short ribs were excellent. Must have been marinating all day.
I know you said you wanted to go to Saul to try the foie gras and sweetbreads. Did you ever go?
Snappy, I’ll try to remember what the beer was.
I still can’t get over how flavourful the clam chowder was. Unlike any I’ve had before. And the baked Alaska was dreamy. We went to see The Informant after at Cobble Hills cinema and were both very disappointed by it.
Hi people, glad you enjoyed the house tour. The St. Mark’s (aka MY house) house is indeed magnificent. Dave, don’t you dare use the words “tear out” anywhere near it, unless you are referring to completely redoing the bathrooms. There should be a clause in the deed that will prevent anyone from thinking it would make a great 4 or 5 family house, because the first things that would go would be those dressing rooms, which are, after the parlour floor, the most interesting and spectacular things in the house. The carriage house next door at the Montrose Morris houses is an extra bonus of gorgeousness to look at, as well. There’s nothing I don’t love in that house, and would gladly take on the work if I had the money.
I’d love to hear what everyone thought of the rest of the tour, and I’m glad I ran into a whole bunch of Brownstoners (that I know, anyway): Brooklynista, DIBS, Cobble and DH, CarGar, Dave and BF, and CG ups, and of course bxgrl and Amzi, who both volunteered. Thanks for the support!
“how’d you know what a baller is? or did you make it up and are just busting ours?

Ah…it’s fairly well known phrase in the financial services industry. Like all good slang, it’s considered complementary by those within the stereotype and derogatory by everyone else!
When I hear the word ‘baller’ I automatically think of that old rap song…”I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller, I wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her…” Damn. Now I’ll be singing that all day.
Biff, I was out of town and missed the antic. Did you guys happen to catch Les Sans Culottes (faux-french pop)?
Jessi — have you found the wine bar cave?
rob — I guess me and my basketball pals don’t count as “ballers.” BTW, didn’t know DH was a cable repairman.
Snappy — wow, that really sucks. Have they diagnosed a strain (H1N1 or something else)?
cobble — hope you are back today. I have to admit, I still only understand about 1/3 of what happened, but I agree with the call for a hiatus on sock puppets and a return to (near-)civility.
okay, im out. people here in estonia are giving me the stink-eye waiting for this free internet kiosk.
Snappy, we noticed you were talking to yourself, but figured you’re still a little delirious!
