A Boy and His Dog, starring Don Johnson: good suggestion, but very depressing (although still a comedy), Don Johnson and his dog cook and eat an annoying lady at the end (actually it’s his girlfriend). It seems this is what we have to look forward to in 82 days time, cannibalism. Who can doubt it? although i am no expert on these matters, as i said earlier.
But what i can’t figure out is, once we all “are fucking finished!” (82 days), how will we be able to communicate on the web? As i understand it, everyone’s computers will be either re-possessed, stolen from looting, or just plain broken. I fear it may be the What on here all alone reminding us of all the facts. An endless data-echo chamber of emptiness.
Having fun is not what What’s life is all about. I wonder how much that NY Mag cover actually looks like him?
Having fun is what life is all about.
I see you had a lovely circle-jerk going on. Two things wont change Asshats. One the whole shit is going to hit the fan. Second I will be here to remind you of that fact.
All of you can blow me…
The What (Tick Tick Tick)
Someday this war is gonna end…
Here is a wonderful story.
Tempest for a Bank That Bet on Risky Loans
http://dealbook.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/08/07/tempest-for-a-bank-that-bet-on-risky-loans/
Easy money, it turns out, has created enormous problems at Bank United, Florida’s biggest regional bank.
By aggressively peddling a popular type of high-interest loan to risky borrowers, the bank tripled its profits in 2006 as real estate on Florida’s Gold Coast peaked, only to lose nearly $100 million in late 2007 and early 2008 as the market cratered. Now, its chief executive, Alfred R. Camner, is scrambling to raise $400 million in capital, an amount nearly eight times the bank’s shriveled value on the stock market.
This story is with all Banks. Wamu, Citi, Wachovia and insert fucked Bank here.
Keep having fun kiddies…
cobblehiller is much more concerned with cobblehilller and reclaiming his name!
Well I seem to have scared cobblehiller…
wasder, don’t tone it down on our account. Be yourself and say what you want. And if it wasn’t for the What baiting, we wouldn’t have had this fun thread. That’s why I say I appreciate having him around.
Thanks Biff! I guess I took my What baiting a little too far. Will tone it down a little if it bums folks out.
Thanks 11217. I dig your posts and thoughts too.
wasder is one of my new favorites…
