  1. Is anyone going to any bar Sunday for the games????

    I actually went to Essence (cor of Atlantic & Troy)two weekends ago on Sunday but they didn’t open until 5:00. It was a pretty decent place with just a few older guys there. I suspect it gets a younger crowd Fridays and Saturdays though. There’s an area for a band to set up. Food was a cut above ordinary bar food as well.

    I think you know where this place is MM. I think I mentioned it once before in asking anyone if they’ve ever been there.

  2. sam–I mean I never had any capital to begin with, not that I was prescient enough to know that our financial system was a ponzi scheme. Not having had any large sums of money means I don’t have anything to grieve about now.

  3. Folks;

    Something dawned on me last evening, when I took a look at the threads. In case you didn’t see it, this “Benson” person on the scene, bursts into threads and tries to cut others a new one. But others hold their own, however.

    It suddenly dawned on me who “Benson” is. Rather than give you my opinion, let’s take a look at some facts:

    -clearly, ‘Benson’ has been carefully reading this site for a period of time.

    -‘Benson’ is a fairly good writer, though there is a whiff of “sermonizing” in his posts that we’ve seen in another writer’s pieces…”What’ you ask? Although, ‘what’ posts I’m referencing are mostly incoherent gibberish, but I think that’s just ‘Benson’s’ way to foil us.

    -A very significant person of the Brownstoner community is suddenly not around, with no explanation. ‘Benson’ disappeared for a day as did this person….hhhhmmmm…..’What’ is his name??

    -I noticed that ‘Benson’ is becoming friendlier. Could it be to throw us, ‘What’ does this all mean?

    So, who is ‘Benson’? You decide for yourself….

    Have you figured out ‘What’ I’m trying to say!?!

    Benson, seriously, glad you’re sticking around, my Fedder Loving ‘Friend’

  4. Benson – don’t leave!
    I may not agree with all your points – but I agree with Insert – that you do have insightful posts!

    Seriously What – you make me totally anxious and HOBO too!

    We can all make fun of them all we want, but there is validity to what they are saying and am afraid Citi and BOA are heading down the tubes at a much faster rate than expected.

  5. rob, I never blast you about sounding like an adolescent.
    I think I may have written once that you were getting on my nerves, but I was having a difficult morning and I forget the context. However I am feeling in a very relaxed and positive mindset today, even though my securities remind me of the scene from titanic when decrapio is handcuffed to a raditor while the water is rising around him. Ah to be rescued by Kate Winslett, but I digress.
    The thing is this, whether one invested with Bernie or not, we all seem to be sinking fast.
    What happened to all the money we thought we had in 2007?
