End of the World (Or Maybe Not) Party

Hmmmm. What happened? I woke up this morning and realized I’m still alive. And I still have my home. And I still have my job. And I see many other of my cherished fellow ‘Stoners around too. There’s daveinbedstuy, dittoburg, SnarkSlope, TownhouseLady, PitBullNYC, z, and even Mr. B himself posting today. I thought October 16th…

Hmmmm. What happened? I woke up this morning and realized I’m still alive. And I still have my home. And I still have my job. And I see many other of my cherished fellow ‘Stoners around too. There’s daveinbedstuy, dittoburg, SnarkSlope, TownhouseLady, PitBullNYC, z, and even Mr. B himself posting today. I thought October 16th was it for all of us. But since we still have another 13+ hours to go, let’s try to get through this together and continue with our plans to meet tonight at 6:30pm (or drop by later if you can’t make that time) at Union Hall in Park Slope.

Quality of Life

  1. THL, I’ve viewed the home and must say you are getting better and better with each day. I could not stand to see this one lost on the back pages of Brownstoner in the Forum and am hereby begging you to save it and repost it when the discussion stalls during the next House of the Day feature on the front page of the blog. It’s just too late and there are posters I’m sure who would love to have at this one!

  2. THL – I want to thank you for not selecting a house in Bay Ridge today.

    Scarlet O’Hara can make a great dress with those curtains.

  4. DarkStar, you’ll quickly see that The What will avoid the tough questions, although he’ll hound you to answer all of his.

    DOW, this is getting really creepy, but I also am feeling less antagonistic towards you, which is partly why I stopped with the DOWhat references and have tried to keep things more civil. Unlike The What, I think you probably are a decent person. And I’m not certain what motivates The What, but at least can appreciate in your case you trying to secure a good home in a nice neighborhood for your family and sincerely do wish you the best. (I feel so dirty!)

    Ok, on to THL’s home!

  5. I’ve been called a TROLL by The What. Is that the pot calling the kettle black or what?

    Please notice that he didn’t try to refute my statement that he only started talking about a “Mutant Asset Bubble” after the stock market started nose-diving. There is only one “Mutant Ass” here, and he goes by the name “The What”.

  7. “At the same time this statement (“Everybody just partying away, oblivious about what’s to come”) is just not true.”

    You’re right, wasder. I was a little over-the-top. The fact that you guys (You, Dave, Biff and others) are regulars on What’s threads says something. You know (or you’re at least worried about it) we’re in a deep and darkening recession that might turn into a Greater Depression. I guess I was just poking fun. Like calling you underwasder. I don’t REALLY wish harm on you.

    Why’d you have to soften me up? Now I’m not compelled to go at you anymore.
