Schwa, bITch, deleted Market Report
Published by Becky S December 3rd, 2004 in uncategorized, miscellaneous fluff, newsy
Apparently, unrelated collections of random thoughts are all I’m good for this week.
- On the basis of this entry alone, Scott should win a bloggie or dorkie or whatever the weblog awards are called.
- Max Raabe alert! Another fine track at Trout Fishing in South-Central Wisonsin.
- This commenter over at One Good Thing has a great t-shirt suggestion: Women in Technology…putting the IT into bITch. By the way, One Good Thing is a very funny weblog written by Flea, mother and proprietor of a sex toy store.
- It’s on! Dave the Lunabomber is having an action hotline Christmas contest. It’s just amazing and stuff that Dave has a telephone hooked up to his weblog.
- An e-mail from Ken Klein, author of the Market Report: my weekly market report is in the “girard home news” i deleted it by mistake…. once gone never returned. So no Market Report this week unless you’re a local.
Have a great weekend!

What!? No market report? The cruelty of this is unspeakable. First I find out that the only good cereal restaraunts are in Philadelphia and now I lose out on reading the market report. Good think I’m out of bullets or my festering corpse would be on Ken’s conscience!
Could you at least summarize the high points?
Tom, I’m in the dark as much as you are. Sometimes the paper in question appears on the doorstep, and sometimes it doesn’t. If I get my hands on a copy, I can summarize the high points, but no promises!
Tom–have you been to Cereality? You are so on the cutting edge.
In the meantime–what are those muppet heads related to? Are you trying to hint that you are a Furbie? I am tossing the gauntlet down to see who knows what a furbie is (a recent topic of conversation during our last bookclub).
I believe the Muppet heads are some sort of trophy case for a hunter with some real issues.
Just remember, your interpretations of this picture say more about you than they do about me.
Sassy, are you talking about furbies (cute toys that were a big hit awhile back), or ‘furries,’ which are another matter all together?
NO MARKET REPORT????????? i am undone.
(Cereal restaurant?)
Becky–I’m surprised you did not elucidate. As I recall, “furbies” (or is it furries?) are people who fantasize having sex with mascots, or sex as dressed as a mascot. I’m assuming sesame street and disney characters count.
Elucidate? Well, the question was directed at you, Sassy, so I didn’t want to step on you toes as resident furry expert.
I do believe that those people are known as ‘furries’ and not furbies, but I am far from an expert on this matter.
Or am I?
Yes, yes I am.
I think furries that the people that want to have sex with people dressed in fur.
Furbie could be some new hip slang term for “refurbished” or it is the name given to those owlish, creepy looking dolls that were all the rage during Christmas one year.
Hmmmm–I stand corrected. It must be Furries–because most of these mascots do have some nice poly-something-fur thing going on. However, I was led to believe that any fully-costumed character is included in this category regardless of fur or lack thereof (e.g. Snow White). I suppose the appeal is anonymity? Scott? Because I can’t image anyone finds the Philly Phanatic sexy (although apparently some people do)–plus, how would one complete the act with such girth and other impediments involved?
And on a totally unrelated note, with no segue–I was recently told that the standard two spaces after a period is a thing of the past. I am so archaic. Please Ms. Blog Grammarian, guide us in this pressing matter.
For my online ramblings I use one space, but when I am writing something to be read on the printed page, I use two. But that is just me.
Now, I must point out that I am no expert on the appeal of dressing up in an animal (or mascot) suit and having sex, so I really can’t comment on the appeal. I know it doesn’t appeal to me.
Or does it?
No, no it doesn’t.
Ahh recycled humor, the best kind there is.
There is a cereal restuarant that just opened on 36th and Walnut in the heart of Penn’s campus, called Cereality. That’s right–they are serving up Captain Crunch and milk, with or without extra toppings. I forget which megachain’s brainchild this is–but if it becomes a success it will start popping up everywhere. The employees wear pajamas as their uniform. US entreprenuership combined with consumer laziness at it’s finest.
