Is the Fed trying to prick the bubble?

I suspect the Fed is behind much of the stories about reconsidering mortgage interest deduction. (If they were really serious about it, they would stop deductions on interest for second (and third…) homes. I think this is basically a made up story, trying to inject a little caution into potential homebuyers who have trouble reading the writing on the wall.

Newsfreak? Any interest in the fondling member job?

Naaaaah. Probably not, right? JACK, on the other hand, could be both president of SPPUSSY AND fondling member. Finally, the honors that would most fit him!

I ate blowfish and I survived! :)

421   Jamie   2005 Dec 5, 2:14pm  

SQT, I think there are some kind of automated spam-bot thingies that can go out and do auto-posts on blogs. Don't know how it works exactly but it happens on my blog all the time.

422   Jamie   2005 Dec 5, 2:15pm  

Peter P, was the blowfish good? Where did you go? Are we having a blog holiday party?

423   Jamie   2005 Dec 5, 2:20pm  

Jack has come a little unhinged in your absence, Peter P.

Jack, I resent all those "sinner" accusations. No one knows the dark roads of depravity like YOU. And don't think I didn't notice those vaguely dirty comments you were making to SQT in the hope of luring her back to your administration. You're like the Bill Clinton of the blog. If she gets too close, next thing she knows she's going to have a stain on her dress or something.

Blowfish tastes great. In sashimi form, it tastes like hirame. However, in "hotpot" form it stands out completely.

(I went to Osaka and Kyoto)

We should definitely have a blog party! :)

425   Jamie   2005 Dec 6, 4:41am  

I have to point out that Jack is responsible for any and all blog degeneration. Ahem. No one else I know of has had anything to do with it. And especially not the SPPRICK VP. Her reputation will remain spotless in my eyes. And the former fondling member has also maintained a spotless reputation, in spite of a title that clearly causes an uphill battle.

426   Jamie   2005 Dec 6, 4:44am  

Peter P, was it a business or pleasure trip or both? Sounds fun...and tasty.

Okay, so let's plan the blog holiday party! I will be in SF from probably Dec 17-30 and would not miss such an event if it takes place while I'm there. I guess we should probably do serious party planning on a legit thread and not in Pigalle...

Pleasure trip with family. It was quite tasty.

Okay, so let’s plan the blog holiday party! I will be in SF from probably Dec 17-30 and would not miss such an event if it takes place while I’m there. I guess we should probably do serious party planning on a legit thread and not in Pigalle…

Let's make it Dec 17 - 30 if other members agree...

428   Peter P   2005 Dec 6, 5:14am  

I don’t know, party around the holidays?

Holiday party? :)

429   Jamie   2005 Dec 6, 5:35am  

Oh SQT, couldn't you make time for us? Already begging off a party before we get it started?! I thought you were a more loyal party member than that!

Okay, so we're going to have a two-week long party from Dec 17-30? That's cool. I may need to bring the goat for such an extensive soiree.

430   Peter P   2005 Dec 6, 2:44pm  

I may have claim I am KurtS. I think I could do a decent KurtS…

Jack, I still recognize you.

431   Peter P   2005 Dec 6, 3:41pm  

I know Peter, but I thought I could at least count on YOU to not blow my cover!

Huh?

432   Jamie   2005 Dec 6, 5:23pm  

Jack, why don't you introduce yourself as "SPPUSSY President?"

433   Peter P   2005 Dec 7, 6:50pm  

Now that I am here by my lonesome, I have to do the 1300th post myself.

1301

434   Peter P   2005 Dec 8, 4:15pm  

So, I’m wondering how we’re supposed to plan a blog soiree when no one comes here anymore. Harm even commented on Jack’s absence on the front thread.

_Sigh_

Is it me or is the magic gone? _sniff_

Let's have a party thread.

435   Jamie   2005 Dec 9, 1:47am  

Oh, sorry, I was off getting my "SPPRICK VP" t-shirt all printed up. But then they spelled SPPRICK wrong and I had to go back for a reprint. No, absolutely NO WAY was it my mistake. I definitely did not spell SPPRICK wrong on my order form.

So yes, Jack, I will be wearing my t-shirt.

436   Jamie   2005 Dec 9, 7:43am  

Ooooooh, I LIKE the way you think SQT. Can I order a "fondling member" t-shirt for you? Heh.

437   Jamie   2005 Dec 9, 8:34am  

Well, how to we explain ANY of it to anyone? Our jokes have gotten so convoluted and inbred, no one understands them but us. LOL, just the way I like it.

438   Jamie   2005 Dec 9, 5:15pm  

Much as I love shock value, I have to admit the Huh team shirt holds greater appeal than having to try to explain to anyone what The Society for the Preservation of Prick is.

Auburn letters huh, Jack?

439   Jamie   2005 Dec 9, 5:23pm  

Hey, we're finally online at the same time! I'm all stressed out and not getting any work done.

440   Jamie   2005 Dec 9, 5:34pm  

Oh well, guess I really do have to work after all... Bleh.

441   Jamie   2005 Dec 10, 12:57am  

In theory, anyway. In practice, I actually zoned out and started falling asleep as soon as I looked at my manuscript again last night. I only try to work late when I'm on a deadline like now.

442   Jamie   2005 Dec 12, 12:24pm  

Yeah, I guess the teeshirts were maybe not such a great idea. Luckily there is still time to cancel the order.

Don't worry Jack, your wife is safe with us. Right SQT? Right? Please spare my husband the awful truth about my bad sense of humor. He might start calling me Beavis.
