Wasder, I’m a Mets, Knicks, Rangers, and Giants Fan (all the blue shirt teams). If not for Giants, I would be very angry fan
Shoot. I’m a loyal Law & Order fan. I really liked that new DA.
wasder, we’re good to go!
donatella, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? I’ve been getting worried.
Yeah donatella, my family was all dodgers fans too. there is just something chronically wrong with the mets organization. I don’t conflate them with the dodgers in any way. my loyalties went to the yanks in the early 90’s and has stayed with them.
Law & Order cancelled? So I’ll be able to park my car without moving it for them every 3 days?
Actually, I’m sorry to hear it. I know a lot of people work on that show. Every single actor I know has worked on it.
Slopey, Slopey, Slopey. Your attendance had better improve this summer.

Try as I have many times, I just can’t get into the mets.
Wasder, from the people who spent their lives rooting against the Yankees and for the Brooklyn Dodgers, the Mets became the only option for them (except for a few crazies who root for the LA Dodgers) after the treacherous act of 1957. Walter O’Malley taking the Dodgers out of New York absolutely killed my grandmother, who was the Brooklyn Dodgers most loyal fan. It was a betrayal which cut deep. She would flee family events to catch the Mets. For me, I grew up rooting for the Yankees and have only a suspicious interest in them. Plus, I hate their colors. 🙂
Plan around me for the impromptu. End of school year craziness, other stuff, something almost every night. I’ll make it if I can.
If a crash happens and gold spikes I’m gonna short it. Easy money. Right now people are BUYING because they’re all convinced there’s gonna be a crash and they believe the “gold is money” argument (no it isn’t dipshit, you’re just going to monetize it into dollars if you want to buy something – what are you going to do, walk into a car deal dealership with a bunch of fucking kruggerands and buy a car??). Guess what happens when the crash happens and all the currencies in weaker economies all take a giant shit — all of a sudden you have all of the third world savings accounts (ie gold jewlery, bars, coins, whatever) hitting the market. And people are trying to sell the gold for — you guessed it — US dollars. So the USD price of gold plummets.
It happened in 1998 and it will happen again.
Short gold the second a major event happens. First reaction will be a big price spike. Delayed reaction will be “oh shit now we all went from buyers to sellers all at the same time…. we’re so fuckin dumb!”
