  1. lol lechacal,
    propane canon??

    you know you can make a “rocket engine”
    with sugar and potassium nitrate?
    I left out the fuse on purpose.

    if you have a rusty car laying around,
    all you need is one more ingredient for Thermite.

  2. I’m baaa-ack!
    Whadda miss?

    Kens, I alerted everyone yesterday in the OT to Philly’s HOTD.
    IT is a gorgeous house!
    CGar, while you’re out buying everyone a house, put me on the list. That philly house is my style. Early modern is my fave, but I’ll take a mid Century Modern

  3. lol biff,

    you wouldn’t be comparing US Navy Lieutenant Commander Richard M. Nixon who served in the Pacific in WWII,
    to Hitler would you?

    this one’s for bxgrl specifically;
    who was the President who appointed Justice Harry Blackmun, author of the decision Roe V. Wade?

    History is more complex than we like to think.

  4. “Mrs Jackal objects to my keeping handguns in the house (killjoy)”

    Same with Mrs C. I would get one if it was up to me, but there’s no way she would allow it. I see her point (and Mrs Jackal’s) given we have kids around, but I have still thought about getting one. I guess the Louisville Slugger will have to suffice if and when we have unwanted visitors at Chez Champion.

  5. I agree on being long biotech, I’ve made some of my best money there.

    But I would be increasing exposure to other names with more beta (AMGN’s is 0.62) if I were looking to get into ANYTHING for a rally.

    Biotech and pharma exposure ( and MCD and other consumer) is what has made my longs outperform in the selloff here. But I won’t be adding to them for exposure to a short rally.

    Got back into C today….JAN 2012 5.00
