  1. Yep, that was a very young (!) John Johnson, and Sal Marciano and Storm Field – now I can’t remember what his Dad’s name was…argh.

    It was for FUN, DIBS – just to remember NYC preAsshats!

  2. “All day long it has been ‘Bait The What’ and it’s disgusting.”

    Your righteous indignation is entirely justified old chap. Let me put the kettle on and make us both a cup of tea. It’s hard to fathom what the world has become.

  3. Hi What, You’re welcome, as ever.

    I’ve stopped listening to the news after the past few days. It’s been getting me down and I have to focus on a few things here. The new unemployment numbers and projections pushed me over the edge.

    So it’s music for me mainly. Liking this guy Tommy Emmanuel, at the moment – great guitar work.

    John Johnson was a baby! Storm, too! I was having a time warp/flashbacks…and this bubbled to the surface: A friend and I used to smoke a little something and listen to this…and it’s still great!

  4. “Asshat Facebook”

    HA!! The guy is funny. But he’s right about one thing. The job data is bad news. Lots of people in media are taking buyouts and being laid off, or are still working 2X as hard to cover everyone who’s left, while they wonder about their own jobs. Not good.

  5. “Everyone else, I am a little slow but I think I finally figured out what the What’s sign-off means. He believes that gentrification is a war — waged on black people.”

    “I think that’s close mopar, but my guess is that it’s more of a gentrification/class war than a race issue.”

    Thank you Cobblehiller for looking at things beyond the surface! I think that’s the reason we get along. All day long it has been “Bait The What” and it’s disgusting. Brownstoner is turning into “Asshat Facebook” and you can see the ignorance in some of the posters.

    2009 is turning real bad, just look at the unemployment numbers. The number are up 45% over last year and the trend is for more pain.

    I don’t have to go back and forth with the Assheads anymore, I will let reality take care of that…

    Those was the days, Huh. That’s when New York was Asshat free!

    The What

    Someday this war is gonna end because of the upcoming depression….
