I have thought about this for a long time but just haven’t been able to put into words what you all have meant to me.

I have thought about this for a long time but just haven’t been able to put into words what you all have meant to me. The depth of my emotions made the words get stuck bouncing around inside my head, ricocheting off the backs of my eyeballs. I would close my eyes and squeeze but I couldn’t seem to push them down through my neck to my arms and out through my fingers. They hung up somewhere above the roof of my mouth back towards the center of my skull. Occasionally one would fly out my nose but nothing down to my fingers. They’re all still stuck in there bouncing around driving me nuts. I actually thought writing this down would help but it hasn’t; now I’m more frustrated than ever. I can’t tell you how horrible it is not being able to convey the depth of my feelings for you all and how gutted I am about those other guys beating me to it. They must have bigger heads or wider necks, or their words are smaller or something. But AR uses pretty big words so maybe it is a physiological blockage of some kind that I have. Maybe I’ll get an MRI next week. I hope I don’t need a vocabuloplasty or something. But I’ll be gone for sure after I figure this thing out. And please don’t try to change my mind, I’m definitely through. For sure. There are too many bad people here. Love, Spin [less]
Try playing Barber's Adagio for Strings to get that cathartic cry out.
Hello ,
This is a personal email directed to you and I request that it be treated as such. I am
Ahmed Khan, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney/sole executor to the late Mr.
Heltor , hereinafter referred to as my client' who worked as an independent oil
magnate in my country and who died in a car crash with his immediate family on the 4th of Oct, 2004.
Since the death of my client in oct, 2004, I have written several letters to the embassy with an intent to locate any of his extended relatives whom shall be claimants/beneficiaries of his abandoned personal estate and all such efforts have been
to no avail.
Moreso,I have received official letters in the last few weeks suggesting a likely
proceeding for confiscation of his abandoned personal assets in line with existing laws
by the bank in which my client deposited the sum of 30 million pounds.
On this note I decided to search for a credible person and finding that you bear a
similar last name, I was urged to contact you, that I may, with your consent, present you
to the "trustee" bank as my late client's surviving family member so as to
enable you put up a claim to the bank in that capacity as a next of kin of my client.
I find this possible for the fuller reasons that you bear a similar last name with my
client making it a lot easier for you to put up a claim in that capacity. I propose that
50% of the net sum will accrue to you at the conclusion of this deal in so far as I do
not incur further expenses.
Therefore, to facilitate the immediate transfer of this fund, you need, first to contact
me via email signifying your interest and as soon as I obtain your confidence, I will
immediately appraise you with the complete details as well as fax you the documents, with
which you are to proceed and I shall direct
on how to put up an application to the bank.
HOWEVER, you will have to accent to an express agreement which I will forward to you in
order to bind us in this transaction.
Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send you by fax or E-mail the next step to take. I
will not fail to bring to your notice that this proposal is hitch- free and that you
should not entertain any fears as the required arrangements have been made for the
completion of this transfer. Like I said, I require only a solemn confidentiality.
Best regards,
Ahmed Khan.
Spinny... "Goodbye To All That" by Robert Graves was one of the best books I've ever read. BTW my vocabuloplasty didn't go so well. It really is still experimental and the side effects and sexual dysfunction simply aren't worth the risk.
Fucka 'me. Not you too? Which Canadian will take your place?
Well may your bubble never burst, and your Canadian bacon stay circular.
Peace out, spinny. Ah ya know there is no cover charge, and ya can come back anytime.
Oh, Spinny: We are laughing so hard, we can hardly breath!
alanhart, me and w67th; we are on the list. The above comments from them are the reason why. We commited SE treason.
You are risking your SE position, by displaying humor. Fearlessly. For that, SE will punish you.
It will be severe. On the list. Added to the Hall Of Shame , according to streeteasy editors.
Oh spinnala. You are the man.
MRI, then vocabuloplasty, then Cialis patch (thx dreamer), gushing love for bubba, then possible exit. It really depends on a lot of this stuff coming together.
They had to do a vocabulostomy on someone who, truth be told, needed it badly. Now s/he wears that crocheted bag with all those bad bad worlings.

Psssst, Spinny:
"You gave me something, I understand
you gave me lovin' in the palm of my hand;
Oh, I can't tell you how I feel
my heart is like a wheel,
Let me roll it
let me roll it to you
I wanna tell you

I want to tell you
that you're going to be mine
I can't tell you how I feel
my heart is like a wheel
Let me roll it to you...' ( "Let Me Roll It" , Paul MACCA, Wings )
I needed to figure out how to meet you, and know it is really you; and then w67th gave me an idea:
You're Canadian, eh? So you have Canadian I.D. of some kind.
Now, that will make it work.
I'm going out on Tour, be back end of summer. Got an e-mail for me to contact you? You can come to my place, and you will see it's really me. My apartment is like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I've got photos of me with everybody from my fave songs.
Get back to me as soon as possible, Spinnala. Oh, we will have such a fun friendship!
My B.F. agrees that this is a brilliant idea. Bring your significant other.

Iz that how you think you'll make friends?
Out of all the girls that've crossed my life I chose one to be my wife. Out of thousands of ppl that have touched my wife I count a handful as friends. I've logged off my facebook Acct, I don't twitter, I'm happy to be me.
You think se friends are for real?
"Out of thousands of ppl that have touched my wife " ...
Did you mean that?
w67th: Jealous are you?
I don't care about you, that much. I don't need more friends.
You are funny, but I don't need to meet cha'.
I just want to meet Spinny.
"Out of thousands of ppl that have touched my wife "
Did you mean that?
"Out of thousands of ppl that have touched my wife ..."
Interesting
Flmao. Allz yours spinny.
O.K. then.
Spinny, contact me with info.
Football season is over, Veronica. Kurt and Ram had nothing left to offer the school except for date rapes and AIDS jokes.
SkinnyNsweet: Please explain. You are always humorous. What does that mean?
Who is Veronica ( I have a song about her). Who are Kurt and Ram? Thanks.
Spinny: We don't care what you own. You can be a renter. In the boros. Suburbs, It's O.K. with us.
For ID will you accept my jr. constable badge from the RCMP auxiliary? My wife usually holds my passport (long story.) Also, any chance you have a picture of yourself with Anne Murray or Guy Lombardo? That would be cool.
You're not a bunny boiler are you Truth?
farewell dear spinnaker, you will be sorely missed.
p.s. - what is going on around here? i come back from vacation to a sh*tstorm huh?
It's been a long hot boring summer so we've decided to create our own docudrama. Most interesting the board has been all summer. Nice to see you back. Might be hard to understand where we are mid stream so I'll try and fill you in.
AR and Truth had a pissing match. They were joined by HFScomm or Xcounty or shrimpie. AR engaged briefly then suddenly announced her retirement but left the back door open wide for her return (kinda like Brett Farvre.) AR's announcement was followed by gushing love from all corners of the globe and a victory lap by Truth. Then SE weighed in and said AR was responsible for a billion posts or something, you could almost hear their servers in the background having a party on news of the announcement. SE also called out by name other problem children, which was met by both indignation and pride at having made the list. Through the course of this I was overcome by my Canadian penchant for sardonic melodrama and decided to announce my own retirement. Now Truth loves me and wants me to go on tour with Mick, Keith, Ronnie and her, or boil my kids rabbit -not sure which yet.
spin: Exposition worthy of the very best soap opera. Are you sure you never had a stint as a male nurse on daytime? But you left out the part of exactly how you earned the love of Truth. Absolutely no offense intended because you are a perfectly lovely gentleman but you don't seem to be the type to populate the epicenter of the Mick/Keith universe. Not that it seems to take much to move that particular needle. I simply point out the relevance of lyrics as immediate response to SE's plea for restraint and I earned the honorary AR understudy post. How exactly did you woo the fair maiden
apt23: Nice, thank you. I find you to be quite lovely as well.
Truth came into my life vicariously through a shared love for profoundly ironic lyrical parallels to everything that is StreetEasy. It may have been a passing reference to Steve Earle or some such troubadour with a poignant tie in to a trashy 6 above 96th that brought us together. Whatever it was, there clearly was a spark. I saw it and she saw it. Soon thereafter the biblical forces of the universe pushed our orbits together. We now enjoy weekends in the Hampton's, trashing hotel rooms and driving ugly expensive British automobiles into swimming pools. That's about all I know.
Thanks for clearing that up. Save the Bunnies!
thanks spin... yes i would keep an eye on the rabbits.
Perhaps your thoughts about a shut in SE coder hit a bit close to home?
Spinny: Your silly wabbit is safe with me.
You make me laugh , tears roll and I can't breath. Then, my stomach hurts, I'm laughing so much.
When I laugh like this, others around know that I'm on SE reading your comments.
Then, they gotta look to read for themselves. More laughter.
If you heard me actually singing these songs, you would laugh too.
If you give me an e-mail to contact you, I will tell you stories you would enjoy. Took a car ride with Moony, many years ago in England. Shortly before said drive, Moony had inserted a morphine suppository for the first time just to see what the deal is with those things. I didn't know about it, until the ride got, um, interesting.
apt23 would not appreciate such a story. But you would.
Keith thinks you are hilarious. Levon laughs at your comments, too. You got a big fan club.
Hear me roar, in numbers too big to ignore...
just heard the poor rabbit expire.
S&S
i love my dead gay son!
Spinny:
As you know, on the Beaufort scale, "almosttoast" was a 12.
What a bunch of hypocrites. ( not you , Lucille, you are B.B. King's favorite guitar).
They come on here, read your parody; and stay to post comments about their love, respect and admiration for "almosttoast". Hokum, and hollow histrionics.
They failed to get her real help for her delirium tremens.
"Friends" don't let friends drive drunk. They would not get in a car with "a member of their big family" at the wheel.
It was like taming a wild horse. She needed to have somebody get a saddle on her. Get the bit, into her mouth. I tried to do the Horse Whisperer on her. She bucked all the way. Didn't work.
w67th: A very funny guy. I don't know how he translates in real time/ life. He's probably a sweet pussycat. If not, he's got a doctor wife who probably has to hook him up to the Michael Jackson "Milk" at night.
Falcogold: Funny lists. Could get him a job on Letterman, writing "Top Ten Lists".
alanhart: Oy, is he funny. Great comic timing, coming on here with: "Hello."...
But, you, Spinny. My B.F. ( who doesn't laugh if it's not really, really funny; he laughs with great gusto reading your postings.)
We work to live, so that we can live to laugh.
You are playing hard to get. Darling please, don't make me wait so long; I wanna love you babe.
Lizyank has my contact info. Please get it from her.
Run for the frigging hills! Buy protection. Man the ramparts. Hopefully, she's kidding. If not, contact the local precinct.
Lucille: Thank you. I thought I was going to keep having to drop hints for days on that one.
Now, I'll go back to my guest appearances on Card Sharks. I've got to get back on the cover of Poof!
Truth: Are you kidding? I LIVE for morphine suppository stories. I couldn't have made it this far in life without them.
apt23:
Whatever. You were O.K., before the "almosttoast" melt down.
You don't have "to live for" stories. Of any kind. Especially the delusional stories, that the enablers tell themselves.
Yeah morphine suppositories, now that’s hardcore. Moony was a madman, amazing he lasted as long as he did. I never could put anything up my ass, no matter how badly backed up I was. I had a headache and put shrooms in my ears once. I was too busy fighting off the red faced Ninns to care about my headache. Now that was some freaky shit. Effective, but not really practical.
On the matter of our hook up I’m afraid I don’t play spinny in real life. I imagine you, Levon, Keith, Mick, Bruce, and Bono all surrounding me in anticipation and me just standing there not able to get it up.
spinny: You must be funny in real life.
We wouldn't surround you. Just let it flow, naturally.
Bono is not funny. Way too serious. The Rainforest. Africa. Sunday Bloody Sunday.
We don't hang out with Mick. Keefy is the man.
Levon's entire 15-piece band , all are funny. Even the horn section.
Went to dinner last night. We were just sitting there, looking at each other at one point; and I thought about the parody. I just started cracking up.
spinny: Am I getting close? Are you a writer?
spinny: Working from home is the best.
I have an office, but I never go there. My assistant is there working the machines. I don't even have to get dressed. I can sit there and laugh, laugh, laugh whenever I want to. As loud as I want. Till my stomach hurts.
I can't help it. Occasionally, when I'm out walking on the street, and I think of your comments I start laughing. Then I cover my face with my hand, and act like I'm coughing.
You write ad copy? Commercials? Do punch-up work on movie scripts?
Am I getting close?
Gotta bribe ph41.
Did you read Paul Shaffer's book: "We'll Be Here For The Rest Of Our Lives"? It's good and funny. Do you know Paul?
Am I getting closer?
You know short Marty?
I'm getting closer.
Look. Don't even identify yourself. We will call you by whatever name you want. We don't need to know where you live. (Although, it doesn't seem to be a secret,on SE). Hang out with us, spinny. You will have a good time. Bring the wifey.
Dinner at NOBU, on me. Would you prefer Tribeca Grill? Any of Drew Nieporent's other restaurants?
Just redact your name and personal info, and show me your Canadian photo I.D.
"I feel it in my fingers,
I feel it in my toes
your love is all around me
and so the feeling grows..." (Who did this song? Was it Tommy James and The Shondelles?)
Truth "Love is all Around" by the Trogs of "Wild Thing" fame. I think the B side.
Sorry.... Troggs
Thanks, NYCDreamer.
Wasn't "Crystal Blue Persausion" by Tommy and The Shondells?
Truth... That's right. Tommy James and the Shondells also did "Hanky Panky, "I Think We're Alone Now' and Crimson and Clover.
NYCDreamer: Those I know real well. Very catchy tunes!
Spinny: Did you go to school with Eugene Levy?
