"Jamie, as that one hit wonder New Zealand bands says, “how bizarre, how bizarre”."

Huh?

I agree with Newsfreak. His short stories are fine. The one's I've read are great examples of minimalism. But his subject-matter is such that it generally appeals much more to men. He writes from a very male perspective, about subjects that tend to resonate with men more than women.

That's all I'm sayin.'

"one more poem, oh

Jack will turn homo

Stanman weeps"

Hurry, Jack, go drink some Bud Light and stare at your car engine for a while before it's too late!

"You never told me why you were “shhhush-ing” me and SactoQT "

I was doing that every time I said something that might have been interpreted the *wrong* way, as my comments so often are (insert put-upon tone here). So, "hush," as in, don't even bother saying it, I know what you're thinking.

Sorry Jack, no great ruler stories. My husband's costume was the hit of the party. Guy comes dressed as a catholic schoolgirl, kind of gets everyone's attention. Plus, he has really great legs. ;)

Okay, so it is possible...

we could hit...

Huh 2000...

by midnight...

tonight?

You renegade poets are missing out on new opportunities in poetic form. Don't be restricted by this single little white text box. Think outside the box. Think multiple text boxes!

Think poems that take 5 posts to complete.

"Can of Bud Light."

Just whatever you do, don't actually *drink* that, that...carbonated urine. It's just for pretend.

Poetry, Urk. I don't do poetry. Or at least I haven't tried. Hmmmm. Must think.

NEED 2000 posts!

"…and don’t take that tone with me young lady."

Ooh, Jack's getting all stern and stuff.

"For being the diabolical madwoman that she in fact is. "

Bwaahahahahahaaaaa!

My Halloween greeting:

Boo!

There. Only 600 more posts to go.

Jamie

is in

rare form

this morn'

must be

all the

Halloween candy.

Not much of a rhyme, but it added significantly to the thread count which is all that really matters.

We all know the threads with the highest thread counts have maximum quality.

Did see a woman who dressed as a Studio 54 coke whore, she was going to a Halloween wedding. Different!

Lol
Creative costume.

My sugar rush of choice is Twix. Anything with chocolate and a cookie crunch and I am a happy camper.

Ok, please bear with me, people --I've been gone for a long time.
What's the deal with this 'SPHUH' thing? How/why did a thread named 'Huh?' end up with 1400+ posts in less than 2 weeks. And what's the deal with this Surfer-x/ptiemann Nazi flame war?

LOL, Harm, welcome back! I believe SPHUH is what happens when you get too many demented minds in one place. Well, no, I take that back. I'm blaming it all on Jack.

Surfer-X is stressed out and depressed due to his missing cat. I don't know how that manifested itself as a Nazi flame war, but I'm sure it's because of Mr. Fuchs. We're all trying to tread carefully. Like cats, I guess you could say.

Go home Mr Fuchs!

Thanks, Jamie. Looks like I missed out on the most prolific blog month ever. I expected some new threads and a fair amount of activity, but this is just amazing --I've counted at least 22 threads since I left for New Zealand and thousands of posts.

I’m so out of touch with this blog now, I feel like I just stepped out of a time warp.

Maybe we've all misbehaved because HARM was gone? Maybe he has become the "father figure" here on the blog, and while he was away, we played.

Poor HARM, coming home from his wonderful vacation to find that we've been partying for a month straight. Someone shot out the windows, there's a goat in the bathtub, the cat's missing, skinheads have taken over one room of the house, the sheets have weird stains on them, empty cans of Bud Light are littering the floor, the liquor cabinet has been emptied, and there's bean dip EVERYWHERE.

I also posted this under the "New Thread" thread, but it looks like this one is getting more play, so here ya go:

Btw, while I was in NZ, I occasinally check the RE section in the local papers (just couldn’t resist). In general, housing there is NOT much cheaper than CA, even considering the currency exchange rate, though due to the lower population density it’s still possible to find relatively affordable beachfront property outside of town on both islands.

Interesting side note: in Queenstown the locals were complaining about foreign speculators coming in buying up property like crazy, which is driving up prices for them. I give you one guess as to where most of these “foreigners” are from :roll: .

Maybe we should compile a "Best of" post for HARM, a sort of October in review post that will sort through the bean dip and find the highlights of the month that he simply can't go forward without knowing.

HARM

I have no explainations for anything. Except to say the housing market discussion burnouts have migrated to the "Huh" thread for some comic relief. (we think we're funny anyway)

"I give you one guess as to where most of these “foreigners” are from"

Ummm, Iowa, right? Those damn Iowans, flush with cash, bloating real estate markets everywhere.

Actually

What Jamie said.

LOL - sounds like a premise for a new 'House Party' sequel. Actually, I'm pleased that so many have pitched in and created new threads to ease the burden on Peter P & SactoQt.

Based on recent sales/inventory stats (still catching up), it looks to me like the long ride to the bottom is just getting started.

About it all being Jack's fault I mean. How do I get this bean dip out of my carpet? And what am I supposed to feed the goat? Oh yeah, the bud cans.....

Brilliant idea! Please 'make it so' number one ;-).

Just don't feed the goat the bean dip or there will be hell to pay.

HARM, Jack is going to fall to his knees and weep with joy to see the news of your return.
