It’s Friday, and if the housing market isn’t that hot, we have the assurance of Realty Times that we can blame it on the negative press.
Realty Times asks, "Is all this negative press affecting your business?" The big question this video raised in my mind though was, "Is that pig at 0:34 in fact Tanta’s [Calculated Risk] Mortgage Pig™?"[Try and ignore annoying background music.]
Any questions on your mind today? Any great links, stories, ideas we should know about? This is an open thread, so grab a soapbox and let us know what is on your mind.
On another note- I’m headed out of town for the weekend- the California beaches are calling me. I don’t want sand in my laptop, so I probably won’t be around much. I’ll be checking in from time to time though.
Igor- if you want me to bring you back a souvenir, I suggest you don’t give John any trouble!

I found something interesting at the bottom of this Google cluster, so I grabbed it off the screen before it could be swallowed by the Google gods.
Holy shiznit,
That was funny. I about lost it when I saw the mortgage pig.
If it wasn’t so entertaining, I would believe that whoever has the creativity to make this stuff needs to put their energy towards making money, they could be millionaires.
This is viral video for bubble bloggers at its finest.
BTW, who is the character at :40 wearing a yellow wu-wear jacket and a gold chain toting a weapon?
What has been seen, cannot be unseen.
My two favorite econ blogs in one single video rant. Barry and CR.
It starts off as a discussion between a man and a woman. The language is English. The rest is cacophony - no discussion - no language. I didn’t see the split second images until I watched it the second time.
Twist: the anti-spam word is false. When I complained before you said something about how somebody else was responsible for this. Well no Twist you are.
North45-
I think you misunderstood me. Anything that goes wrong around here is my responsibility. The 20 dollar bill stops here. [Allowing for inflation.]
Igor’s got his vocabulary list originally from the sys admin, and I’ve added to it a time or two. I suppose we could change it so all he says is things like “BL2vR93″ but there’s not much fun in that. We run the risk that Igor will occasionally put his foot in his mouth, but I figure if I can live with the risk- so can he.
The anti-spam words should not be construed to be evaluations of posters comments. They tend to be rather gloomy, but I think our posters are great.
My word: “wonky” [Yeah- John and I have to enter the same words as everyone else.]
YES, the mortgage pig. It is, really!
Too cool.
