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.

“No Biff not the Homo Rope Line Dance..”
this kind of thing totally invalidates anything else What has to say in my estimation. How much more effective a doomsayer would you be if you could stick to the subject and be respectful What? You unfortunately only make yourself look like a chump with this kind of thing.
There he goes again…5 posts and counting! He can’t stay away. It’s so adorable.
7andFive–you didn’t answer my question above. Any thoughts?
7andfive, for me, and I suspect many others, it isn’t even a matter of disputing or not disputing The What’s predictions. We heard his message the first time and got his point. His constant, over-the-top, psychotic, homophobic rantings are what I respond to, and I enjoy doing it. I don’t dispute or even address the economic aspects of his posts because I’ve done everything I can to try to secure my future and there’s no value in reading his rehashes of information I can easily get myself on various financial websites. Just because we’re having a gathering to meet other posters we like does not mean we’re in denial. wasder often explains this rationally – see I don’t understand why you and others like you don’t get it.
DOW–if you are not The What, perhaps you can speak for your wing of the blog here (the everything can be reduced to economics wing of the blog) and explain to me why why WHY everything has to revolve around stocks and banks and property values. Everything you write is about this. Brownstoner for me is a place to discuss a wide variety of “living in Brooklyn” issues. How is it that your worldview has been reduced to your narrow focus? Given the way you align yourself with What and given the fact that What doesn’t answer questions put to him I will take your answer as at least partially in line with his theoretical answer. (I did enjoy your youtube clip though–definitely lessons to be learned).
But really, don’t you (or What) have anything else going on in your life? Or do you really reduce everything to stock and real estate values?
“Yummy, I love cheese lines almost as much as I love conga lines.”
No Biff not the Homo Rope Line Dance..
The What
Someday Biff is gonna end…
excuse the bad grammar in my previous post- my English professor mom will probably disown me now.
“if people don’t understand the seriousness of the Mutant Asset Bubble, they never will until they are on a cheese line.”
I hanker for a hunk of cheese, yahoo!
“if he/she could uncouple their predictions from simplistic, reductionist sociological analyses?” Wasder your correct the What has absolute zero social skills- at least on the web.
It’s funny that now the What is becoming the voice of reason on this blog. The mere fact that some took literally Oct 16th as the day of reckoning says enough. Yes, we are all still alive but many have seen there 401K wiped out, jobs lost, company out of business and banks on the verge of collapse. The What told of this scenario many months ago and many laughed him off. Now, instead of coming out and saying he was right and group of people want to celebrate that we weren’t knocked off the planet by an apocalyptic attack?
The world has not come to an end but out way of life has……
