Let me see if I can channel Jack… “The constant influx of moneyed immigrants and trust fund hippies to Marin will ensure no more than a 10% drop in home prices over the next five years. Intangibles, people!”

All I see influxing up here in Marinville is a never ending supply of rude assholes.

Hello!

Check out today's chart posting:
realtyworldcal.com

I'm seeing similar trending in SCC; in fact, according to mlslistings.com, SSC invetory has just (in the last day or 2) surpassed the peak of mid-late October (currently 4308 condo & SFR).

Good day, all!

Oh god PS, The Elitist, that name is too damn hard to type. SQT will attest to the value of a streamlined blog name (she used to be Sacto-QT, or something like that). Let me suggest a few other options:

Pee Ess
Pea S
Pee-S

PS,

I'll check w/ Jim. Doesn't make a lot of sense. But I'll check. Kind of partial to the Military model myself! My old Beezer was awful to kick start at times, you had to "tickle" the primer on the old mono block Amal carbs and get the choke setting just right, but always easier than a Harley! The reason I still like having a kick start is that even if the battery goes dead you still have a shot at not having to push it home.

We'll stand by to get flamed as everyone tells about how much better disc brakes are than the old "drum" brakes! Yes. yes! We know! We just don't care. Besides for the most part Brit style cycling is enjoyed best when not exceeding 50 mph. Above that one could get hurt. B/c I enjoy the feeling of acceleration so much I'm annoying to ride w/ b/c I'll fall behind just so I can get on it. Oh, and the exhuast must be near silent!

Pea Ass?

Mr. Elitist,

That was why I put in the "etc." I didn't want to get too detailed and start excluding able people by forgetting to include in a long detailed list.

Also, dude! You won the dot.com bubble jackpot! I thought you just work for fun and computer access! You can do the knife sharpener hirings and advertisement castings, if you find those roles Elitist appropriate. :)

And Surfer-X's secret cult of chubby sex!

Randy H can do the market analysis.

Why do I always get the "fun" job? I suppose Surfer-X gets to pick up the kegs and audition the "celebration party entertainment"...

PS,

Here's the deal in a nutshell. Royal is not certified by the state of CA. However they sell plenty of them there. The way they get around it is by having an Oregonian, such as myself register in the first position on the title, yourself in second position. After 6 mos. you can then transfer to the 2nd owner. Ask for Jim at Raceway in Salem from their OR dealers. No big. Also Jim tells me that the new Electra is in and they have the ANL motor.

Randy,

Because you're really good at it:) You and Fewlesh were doing a great job for free at your blog. Just imagine the great analysis possible with a very large computer and an IB pay structure!

astrid,

All I want out of life is a bunch of smart people and fast computers to do fun stuff with, an office that allows dogs, and a Hedge Fund bonus structure.

After that for a couple more years I can retire and spend the days out on the Headlands writing dark, dreary, dystopian future fiction.

SP, is ES a smaller version of you?

Randy H,

Perzactly! The lender always has a stack of NOD's to work so they are in a big pile. Even in the best of times. So just b/c Mr. Bottom Feeder has tendered an offer that doesn't mean the lender drops everything to attend to it. Often it can be weeks (in some states) before they counter. They'll want to do their research as well. In the end they usually take some sort of short sale compromise but let's be clear, this is not easy money. You're dealing w/ people that are likely in a less than desireable postion and I've heard that sometimes they come up w/ "miracle money" in the 11th hour and for Mr. Bottom feeder it can be a lot of good work down the drain. No thanks.

However, if we're forming a new version of the RTC I will gladly cold call investors. (You don't bring this stuff to your own book).

SP,

Yes Oh Elite One! No big, Jim's good people and when you call he'll tell you all about the new bike!

Jamie, remember there are two kinds of men, those that will diddle a fat chick* as long as no one finds out, and those that are gay.

*a relative term**

**not investment advice.

Astrid, all I want is a goofyfoot stand up tube ride, fluency in a third language, a black belt and a large orange cat.

surfer-x and Randy H and DinOR and SP and everybody else,

Hmmm, sounds like we've got a winner here. Maybe I should write a business plan (so it'll include a small division for knife sharpening and selling organic vegetable to the Chinese) now...

After all, if we spend as much time on a business as we do on this blog, we'll be looking at a $100M business in no time.

Okay, I've finally looked up the wikipedia definition of RTCs, it looks like the situation is a bit more complicated than I had previously thought (including acts of Congress). It looks like I'll have two more books to add to my summer reading list.

SQT, nope no Fuchs, I think Craig Holdridge of Pismo Beach has been keeping him captive. I got a call from him back in Oct asking how to pronounce his name. Looked the number up in the reverse directory and he lives right behind my old pathetic rental. I'm having a friend do a random call "hi this is Bob from Advantage and we are giving away free flea control products, no strings attached" "do you have any pets" "oh really, a big orange cat".

GC,

You just said in the last thread that you're not gay.

Are you or aren't you? :)

GC,

Are you or aren’t you?

Remember, the only surefire way to tell if you are gay is to spend the night with a man naked and not touch him. Unfortuately there is no other method. I'm not gay.

Whoa nelly, further clarification necessary, when spending a night with a man naked, if you successfully make it through the night sans contact, you are not, I repeat not gay. Not that I am in any way shape or form homophobic, I am pro-gay, think of it this way, most lesbians are just not attractive. How do you tell which woman is gay, usually the ones you aren't interested in. Gay dudes, well you should shake their hands because for every gay dude there is an extra chick for me.

I Know many attractive lesbians.

But many are unattractive with comfortable shoes.

Although I am not an authority.

I wear Birkenstocks, does that make me a lesbian?

Astrid
Not if you're gaga over Jake Gyllenhal.
But you may attract some by the shoes you wear. :)

GC,

Wow, you're really going for as many un-PC events as possible!

Linda,

Hehe. But Jake Gyllenhaal is often suspected of being Peter Saarsgard's gay lover!

It could make me a gay man trapped in a woman's body...

I wear Birkenstocks, does that make me a lesbian?

Hmmm don't know as I have never seen you. Based on your writing samples submitted thus far I would have to give you a "not gay" rating.

I Know many attractive lesbians.

MMMMM attractive lesbians, every red blooded males GBC (gentlemens bathroom companion). Linda, could you forward their pictures and/or butch hangouts. MMMMM lipstick lesbians.

GC, put less than sign and small i then greater than sign in front of what you want to make in italics, then close with less than /i greater than.

GC,

You can start with my next door neighbor. I'm not sure, but he might be an IB to boot. You can clean his pipes and get a new car as a gift out of the deal.

I don’t mind being a gay from time to time, as long as the other guy has very tender skin, a smooth a-hole, and a cute bottom.

You Sir are dangerously close to becoming a recipient of the Surfer-X Medal of Freedom, which is presented in even years to those that demonstrate an uncanny lack of filter.

Remember in Mexico you are only gay if you are catching, pitchers are not gay.

For an interesting diversion, look up "plushys" and "furrys"

Jamie, care to educate the crowd on plushy/furry?

surfer-x,

The sort of thing GC mentioned is not at all unusual. Traditional Chinese literature is filled with concubinage of young boys.

There's a bunch of these types in Second Life. Between them and the vampire goths, what's a bipedal, nonundead, heterosexual to do?

Greeks were the bigtime lovers of boys.

So was our Parish Pastor years ago.

GC,

For shame! Going to the Greeks instead of your own people. Are their subversions less subversive because they're stupid money grubbing Orientals?
