I had an uncle who was a gifted drummer who also happened to be partial to the bongo drums. He and Matthew McConaughey could have partied since my uncle was also fond of the bong.

Just an incidental aside since bongo drums were mentioned....

Anyway, gotta scoot. Just wanted to check in and make sure 2000 didn't happen without me.

Jack, i don't think you're at any great risk of missing SPHUH 2000. Haven't you noticed yet that all major posting flurries occur in your presence? Hmm? Could there be a link?

I also made a serious contribution to the new thread. Well, really it was just a "me too" post, clearly a lazy attempt to maintain appearances, and really what's the point when I've got all this SPHUH everywhere...under the carpet, on my clothes, in my hair. HOW did it get in my hair?!

Keep control of that talking stick!

Ahhh, 1717, a nice balanced number. Now I can work in peace.

"I think Jamie claimed there is no action without you"

Three girls do not a proper menage make.

sphuhlinking.

So instead of cave diving it would be...........Oh I don't want to know.

I don't know of anyway to embed a thread that isn't in chronological order. Patrick could probably do it, but do we really want to go to him an say "Can we um, you know, write a thread that has nothing to do with housing and um, put it where no one else will notice it? Why? Because we like goofing around on your blog. Sound reasonable to you?"

Hows the twix hangover SQT?

I woke up today and decided to use the "hair of the dog" strategy to recover. But I find that Kit Kat's are the poison of choice today.

Re: Patrick

I keep hoping he isn't lurking on the "huh" thread too much. Talk about not respecting us tomorrow.

Does it take forever for your page to refresh when you post on Huh?

Yup. I play Mah Jongg while I wait for it to refresh.

Just as well we start formulating some kind of plan for the future…Or are you really feeling uneasy about all this silliness? I hope its not really seriously worrisome for you…

I find the silliness refreshing right now. I can understand why so many people accuse us of doom and gloom. Some days I can hardly stand the dire Great Depression part II predictions people throw out. Personally I think the fed will move Heaven and Earth to prevent that from happening. I guess you could call me a moderate bear.

The silliness is a good way to decompress and I like the people I have met here. I wouldn't keep coming back just to talk about housing. But I am motivated to come back to talk to the regulars on the "huh" thread.

I dont even want to ask what Mah Jongg is…. LOL

It's a chinese (I think) tile game that you can play on the computer. I'm addicted.

By the way, I dont even KNOW what I mean half the time when I make wisecracks.

No wonder the proverbial line gets crossed sometimes. I wonder what Jamie's excuse is?

Are you looking for a new thread that is not housing related? I can post one but I am not sure what you're looking for.

Sheesh SQT, still awake? More Kit Kat!

Huh?

One of us might need to bite the bullet and create our own blog page (mabe on Surfer-X's site) the only problem is that I think you have to register to post. I'll have to look around and see if there are any other create-your-own blog sites that don't require registration.

But I don't know if it's worth the bother. It might just be easier to do another pointless thread. But you know, we could all agree to switch to the "new thread" since I don't think it has too many posts. It's more or less dead and I doubt others would be inclined to jump in since it isn't the newest thread.

Are you not seeing my posts? I'm confused.

Ok, you want to be President and I will become Secratery and fondling member?

New blog? Or just jump to "new thread?"

By the way, if the blog ever gets dumped abruptly, PeterP has my email address. Just in case you ever want to send me hate mail or anything…

Hate mail.....as if! (valley girl mode)

Should we jump threads or should we wait for Jamie? I'm sure she'll read this and jump over anyway. But, I want to be polite and all....

yeah, lets wait and give her a chance to object at least…

Sounds good. Gives me more opportunities to play Mah Jongg. ;)

The dream lives on! 2000 or die trying.....

Ok, I'm not willing to go that far....

Mah Jongg …there is a joke in there somewhere, I just know it! Is that the one wiith the chunks of squares that drop down from the top and stack up until you are in “deep shit”?

No, that's Tetris. Another favorite in the day.

Funny thing is that I have no interest in video games AT ALL. But give me a quiet, simple, old school computer game, and I get addicted.

You poor founding member I think you need a refresher course at the Bob Ross Institute for Post Halloween burnout…

Am I that boring tonight? Maybe I should call it quits for now and rest up for the next round.

I think I'll head downstairs for a twix. Maybe a butterfinger would be better though..

Peanut butter for energy.

I didnt mean to imply you were not any fun, you just seemed a lot more low key than usual. I pictured you sitting there watching the things drop in the game is all

Yeah, finding it hard to maintain the comedic edge tonight.

Though I did grab a reese's cup for maximum peanut butter protien burst.

Oops, my son is crying I may have to go....Give me a second to see if I can settle him down.

Got the little dude settled down. He needed a milk fix to get things right with the world.

Hey, anyone hear anything from Surfer-X lately? I'm worried he hasn't been around. That little Fucher has really got the X-man down these days.

Oh, I got the 1800 post. Time to do the crazy miner dance.

Yeah, the X-man lost his cool. He reminds me of one of my brothers. My bro seems like the most tempermental guy. But the truth is he wears his heart on his sleeve, and he takes it really hard when his feelings are hurt. He's also more sentimental than the rest of us combined. I don't know if this describes Surfer, but I think it might come close.

I think Surfer probably just needs time to deal with the cat situation. If that cat doesn't come back, God help us.

Yeah, don't want to analyze Surfer too much. He's his own man and he'll tell us what's going on when he's ready. Hopefully the damn cat is home and Surfer is just in the throes of a happy cat homecoming. At least I hope so.

You know SactoQT, I LET you have that 1800th post on purpose. I could have taken it myself ya know…. but noooooooooooooooo. I wanted YOU to have it. BIG of me wasnt it?

We'll start calling you Saint Jack.

If I tell my husband I am the fondling member, I am in big trouble.

I have my “early day but only a half day” day tomorrow. And I have to get up at the ungodly hour of 4 40AM (at least its not 420 surfer x!) So I should probably give it up for tonight too..

Ok, have a good night.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll be in better form. No more candy, the withdrawls are a bitch.

Blogger has settings that allow you to choose your own level of security. Unfortunately blogs get attacked by spam so that's why a lot of people have it set so you have to register to post. I think I have my writing one currently set so that anyone can post (you can test it out if you know how to find it..heh-heh).

Don't tempt us Jamie, it could get ugly.

In my dream last night, I envisioned the return of Mr. Fuchs.

LOL, newsfreak, I don't really write pulp fiction, per se. That was just my affectionate code word.

Ummm, I'm trying to figure out a way to direct you to my blog without completely giving up my last shred of anonymity...and I can't think of anything. :-P I tried googling the name of my blog but it's not the same as the url so unfortunately it just brought up a bunch of weird crap.

"Jamie, are you sure you want to do that? By the way, I tried to leave a post, and it wanted me to register."

Even if you post as "Anonymous?" there should be that option.

But you guys have a point...maybe I don't wany my blog descending to this level of depravity. :-P

"And one other thing…I am going to have to ask you to resign as Vice- President of SPHUH if this blatant disreguard for meetings continues… "

Sorry for shirking my duties...I just caught a cold and am feeling kind of run-down.

"wany "

Um, that was suppposed to read "want."

"without completely giving up my last shred of anonymity"

To the whole blog, I meant.

Assuming any intrepid souls are still even reading Huh.

"I almost posted something rude to seattledude, so I came here instead."

Such restraint! Jack will be in awe.

Dude should change his screen name to Negative Ned.
