"insightful and nuanced depravity."

Awww, I'm flattered. What a compliment, especially coming from you, Jack. I'm going to start using the above phrase in all promotional materials. ;-)

I respect you too. I think we need more artists such as yourself in the world, and fewer real estate agents (there, on topic!).

Hmmm, here's a wild theory: Maybe Mr. Fuchs is that juju dude over on the Social Effects thread. He's brushing up on his English and typing skills before he goes mainstream with the October threads.

"intentially"

Yikes, I'm starting to sound like that prisoner character from In Living Color who was always making up big words to make himself sound smart.

That was supposed to be "intentionally." I think.

juju sounds more like a female cat though. Perhaps my cats are blogging too.

"You mean you have been unfaithful to the “Huh” thread, and have “posted on other threads”?"

I try to make a valuable contribution now and then. I don't think of it as unfaithfulness so much as "spreading the love."

I'll take a Corona.

"I have to say: “no comment”."

Smart man. And such restraint.

"i’m suprised that more people on this board can’t look at our great failed alcohol experient and compare that to other drugs."

I really would like to address this issue without my head exploding, but I'm afraid it's just not possible. All I can say is, comparing alcohol and even marijuana with hard drugs is like comparing a house cat to a lion.

Oh, but not to suggest I don't think alcohol can ruin lives. I've seen it happen up close and personal. It's not as easy to get addicted to as other drugs though.

Octobeer fest?

Yes, how about SF?

"I’m jealous. “Intangibles” will never attain the noteriety “huh?” established in a matter of hours."

Wasn't our original notoreity established on the "Inflation" thread? At any rate, don't be jealous. There's plenty of depravity for all.

"I just realized that if we have a beer fest, I will have to show my face again “post debacle”. I dont know if I can handle that. LOL "

Perhaps a Halloween party instead? All wear masks and costumes to avoid embarrassment? Come as your favorite element of the housing bubble? But then I would be seriously bummed to miss out on all the fun. I would want to show just to see what iceman (of the notorious "inflatables") would choose to wear. Heh.

"Huh is just a better word. Period."

Absolutely.

"Surfer-x would come as a can of lubricant."

Ewww. With fingerprints or without? No, don't answer that!

Well on that positive note, I must duck out of here and get some actual work done.

"I mean jar. "

LMAO! I didn't catch that the first time. So did it really come in a can back in the day? So you knew who the really freaky people were by the electric can openers on the night stand?

"you just want to see Iceman’s core all inflated, dont you!!"

Oh no, I just spit Coca-Cola on my keyboard. Damn you Jack.

Oops, didn't I say I was leaving?

With one of those old-school cans pictured. On the can appears a very happy looking man and woman, sitting on their separate beds, while the man holds up his can of Love Lube and asks the wife, "Look honey, now we can do it doggy style!"

Oh no i didn't just go there...

I'm really outta here now.

Ciao!

So it looks like the Halloween costumes are definitely OUT! But the fest is on!

When? This weekend? Next weekend?

OMG, I leave for awhile and thread goes all to HELL. Damn, and I missed it AGAIN.

Btw, I really didn't mean to misspell Mr. Fuchs name, clearly a Freudian slip-- like there's any shortage of those around here.

When? This weekend? Next weekend?

Oh man, I'm already committed (hah) for the next couple of weekends at various Halloween parties etc. I was thinking of going as the Darryl Hannah character Elle Woods in Kill Bill. I'm thinking a nurse costume wearing the white eye patch with the red cross on it....
Has nothing to do with the housing bubble, but a cool costume nonetheless.

We can probably wait until November...

Actually, I just have to go to work for a while!

For some reason when I picture Jack working I think of Bob Ross, "now that's a nice mountain".

Must be horribly taxing cleaning those brushes. ;)

Perhaps I will dress up as Peter the Great.

Peter

Isn't that who you are every day?

Isn’t that who you are every day?

No, I am Peter the Minion.

"I was thinking of going as the Darryl Hannah character Elle Woods in Kill Bill. I’m thinking a nurse costume wearing the white eye patch with the red cross on it….

Okay, now I'm picturing you looking like Darryl Hannah, with Farrah hair. The costume sounds way cool. As for how to make it relate to the housing bubble...

You could be Nurse Bendover. You know, signifying how all those NAALVP people are going to take it in the $(@.

"OMG, I leave for awhile and thread goes all to HELL. Damn, and I missed it AGAIN."

And here I am now playing all alone. Sigh. I did some actual work today. I'm feeling all productive and stuff.

"Although I believe it is not necessarily a derogatory term."

Surfer dude, I don't know what crowd you're hangin' in, but skanky is most definitely a major slander. Right up there with hoochie mama and stank ho.

"I like to open the can by HAND. Creates more anticipation as you hear the crank, crank, crank, continue around the can. Restraint."

and

"(Because that is far worse than if you said it on penis!)"

Wow, Jack was in rare form today.

And Jack, I'm sooooo never going to be able to look at a can opener the same way again! LMAO.

Aw, this is really pitiful me sitting here talking to myself. Guess I'll go sulking off now.

What's really pitiful is me trying to carry on an intelligent conversation about anything (as in, over there on the "serious" thread). I much prefer writing stupid jokes.

The secret signal could be really complicated, something like...

"Huh?"

"Nice costume reccommendation Jamie…. “Nurse Bendover” indeed…. "

Hey, I'm here to serve.

Oh, I forgot to comment on your Art as Therapy topic. Yes, I can see how that must be frustrating. There seems to be a great movement toward any sort of art being interpreted and/or created in too personal a way, IMO.

Example: in college, my lit classes often devolved into these miserable personal association discussions, where everything in the book we were supposed to be discussing was somehow related to something in some whiny person's life in the class. It all sounded more like a therapy session than anything else. It's truly the most simplistic and dull way to interpret literature.

I personally believe all forms of art are supposed to be hard. They're supposed to make you bleed. Well, maybe not "supposed" to, but pain and bleeding should be a natural part of the process. Am I too harsh? ;-)

"Re Nurse Bendover…. Do you get the images in your head first? And THEN make the jokes?"

LOL, I cannot explain my "process."

"Do you think that the blog members would find it distracting and devisive?"

Maybe so. I would not want to ruin the vibe on this blog.

"or do you think that they would be thankful that we dont waste serious housing talk time with out pathetic 4th grade depravity? "

Hmm. I think we should just try to show up here at Huh? when we don't have anything useful to say. :-)

"I guess the third choice could be not being depraved at all, "

Mais non!

"I always tell people that art is the cause of all of my problems."

LOL. I can't remember who (some famous writer) said the thing about how if you can think of anything you want to be besides a writer, you should go do it.

"and if its all fun and growth at first, that goes away real fast as soon as your standards go up a little (as they should) with experience, and it stops being “fun”."

Excellent way to put it. I'm always suspicious of people who just have these rapturous, joyous creative experiences. Or maybe I'm just jealous of them. :-P
