  1. I wonder if Miss Muffett finally bought a house . . . Checked her profile and she hasn’t posted since last July . . .

    The infinitely wise Montrose Morris is correct. I present to you, ladies, gentleman, posters of all ages, a rough draft of:

    “Brownstonerian Rhapsody”

    Are these the End Times?
    Is this just real estate?
    Caught in a collapse
    No escape from the big deflate

    Open your eyes,
    Look up to the comps and see
    I’m just a poor boy, I got no equity,
    I got a liar loan, sub-prime loan,
    Risk rate high, FICO low,
    Any way the price goes doesn’t really matter to me, to me

    Muffet, just bought a place,
    Put an offer in today,
    Pulled the trigger, so they say,
    Muffet, the fall has just begun,
    But now you’ve gone and thrown your cash away
    Muffet, oooh-oooh-oooh,
    Didn’t think you’d ever buy
    If I’m not back again to blog tomorrow
    Comment on, comment on, as if pricing doesn’t matter

    Too late, the end has come,
    Foreclosures on my block, prices dropping like a rock
    Goodbye, everybody, I’ve got to go,
    Gonna mail the bank the keys and walk away
    Muffet oooh-oooh-oooh, I don’t want to cry,
    But I sometimes wish I’d never done bought at all

    I smell a little whiff of doom down on Wall Street,
    Banker douche, banker douche, will you do the perp walk now?
    Fannie Mae and Freddy, swirling down an eddy, whee!
    Housing bubble! Housing bubble!
    Housing bubble! Housing bubble!
    Housing bubble trouble-o-o-o-o
    I’m just a renter and nobody loves me

    He’s just a hipster from a rich family-
    Spare him his life from responsibility
    Easy come easy go, will you let me go
    Bernanke!
    No, we will not let you go
    (let him go)
    Bernanke!

  2. Cobble:
    NONE in NYC, me and a few others from NYC went on to reply how we supposedly live in the scariest city in the country yet don’t feel the need to own a weapon. I never walk the streets think I will be violently attacked – but it’s strange that these women in sleepy country towns across the country feel so vulnerable they get licenses to carry guns.
    HA! – one woman detailed how her bank has a sign posted “no guns” – so she states that she pulls up to the bank, takes her gun out of her holster on her belt, places gun on the front seat of the car and then when she returns from the bank, puts her gun back in her holster and drives off…..

    it’s really crazy thinking to me….

  3. “Anyway, can we just assign the gun debate a number and shout the number every once in a while, so we don’t have to have the same argument every day?”

    LOL! For you, Slopey…
