“how come you didn’t make it out to Bell House with us?
If i came out, I would have to be nice to everyone, and what fun is that? I prefer to me as$hole stevie on bstoner. If i want to be nice to someone, I would go home early to my family.
Why can BHO cut and paste and I can’t??????
“i want to know where wall street fat cats: Cgar, DIBS, Etson, and Biff are going to be shopping for the holidays. Man up now and tell everyone. Don’t be shy about flaunting your wealth.”
Actually, I buy all of my holiday gifts right from the Death Star Catalogue. I am a very dedicated Jedi and I am willing, in fact, honoured, to have an opportunity to promote my wonderful Company in any way possible. That includes giving all of my loved ones everything from socks to watches to golf balls with The Death Star logo embossed on them. Sorry for flaunting my wealth so obnoxiously.
OK, I’m really late because this comment has so pissed me off! This is why I normally never look here!
“What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.”
What the rich receive without working for (beginning with before birth, usually):
Rich parents whose high-socio-economic status has afforded them excellent health care, a good education, and all the tangible trappings of their status, leading to
Top-notch prenatal care to ensure a healthy new rich person who is born in a nice safe clean hospital and grows up in a nice safe clean aesthetically pleasing home and neighborhood
Where he/she attends fine schools and benefits from the adoring attentions of his/her rich parents who have time to devote to their rich offspring because their jobs are secure.
Said offspring (of course) does well in school and participates in all the “right” activities assuring admission to a desirable college followed by graduate school assuring offspring’s place in the correct socio-economic sphere and continuation of the cycle.
What the poor work for without receiving (usually): All of the above.
And I am doing as much of my holiday shopping right here in Brooklyn from local merchants. Nobody is getting anything fancy, but things that I’ve really thought about for them.
Thanks, Biff for the Lennon tribute. I once learned from a first-hand account that the first pro-demoncracy demonstrations in Maoist Albania took place when some art students were commemorating the 10th aniversary of Lennon’s death met up with other students who were yelling out their dorm windows about power outages. Spontaneously turned into full-fledged demonstrations that lasted all night.
Good to hear Arkady. It’s always nice when a party goes over well. Did you wind up having enough wine glasses?
Dave, I know you’re upset now but mocking 7-11 is NOT COOL.
