OT Now you are making sense. See there is another side of the coin. The old happy Chisox.
Doc, thanks so much for posting those here. I hope there are more to come and I love the additional commentary at the top. Thanks.
Nevada was an isolated outpost of religious and corporate freedom in the early 21st century, and HFUC was not the only charismatic to seek refuge there.
The only contemporary reference to Saint Alejandro is as the patron saint of “big ass watches,” scholars disagree as to why HFUC would invoke his name.
Patron of the arts, humanitarian, and revolutionary…HFUC was all these, and more, to those who had the faith.
HFUC never met a moral dilemma he couldn’t solve! (The face on the t-shirt is believed to be singer Tom Jones.)
HFUC gave and gave and gave. Even regulators have been unable to fully reconstruct the extent of his generosity.
Some scholars believe that “OCS” was a financial intermediary of some sort, but no trace of it exists today. The model car on the table is the diecast 1/24 scale Jim Dunn Racing Pontiac Firebird.
This HFUC AH includes a reference to the old show tune, (“Moadmaker, moadmaker, make me a moad!”). HFUC was a well-known patron of the arts.
Most copies of this sacrilegious image have been destroyed by HFUC faithful, he was known to be incapable of playing any type of computer or video game, both as a matter of principle and because of his poor hand-eye coordination.
Hector is a shadowy figure in the history of HFUC, but one theory is that he originally sold or gave HFUC the American Shaft.
Of particular interest here is the tape recorder on the table, the versatile yet affordable Sanyo TRC-580M Microcassette Tape Recorder. Often referred to as “the Judas picture” by scholars, this is unusual amongst HFUC AH iconography in that it explicitly represents HFUC’s associates as being prepared to betray him to the forces of evil.
Another tribute to the massive humanity of HFUC, as he reminds us once again that he is not blessed with the trait of perfectionism. If only we could all aspire to such imperfection!
More computer naiveté from HFUC. (The phrase “new office” is believed to be a reference to an unrelated church in close proximity to HFUC’s main center of worship, Madame Dana’s Temple of the Divine Release.)
Scholars have long argued over the meaning of “the company with the same initials” but it now accepted that this refers to “United Carina,” which was either a mining scam or a Bolivian soccer team.
One of HFUC’s many adorable traits was his lack of computer proficiency, here depicted as he falls victim to one of the best social engineering tricks, the “I love you” virus. Many HFUC devotees find it comforting that He needs love, just like the rest of us.
Perhaps of interest to etymologists only: although the spelling “revolke” is now part of standard American English, back in the time when CMKX was still trading, the accepted spelling was “revoke,” and “revolk” was a misspelling common amongst the less educated of the HFUC devotees. Of course, the use of the “revolk” spelling in the official canonization of Saint Urban had a lot to do with the decision by the OED to change the proper spelling.
The post I am responding to is the earliest known representation of Holy Father Urban Casavant At Home (known to the faithful as HFUC AH). Like all great art, this original speaks to us all, across the ages, with its simplicity and timeless truth. And like many great icons, there have been subsequent imitations of the original, many versions of HFUC AH, with varying degrees of success.
Let’s review some of them here. If you find one of these, or something that looks like one, in your attic, please take it to your local authorized Casavant Diamonds retailer to have it professionally valued. Some of these beauties have very high valuations, sometimes even parallel valuations in the trillions of dollars! (Authorized Casavant Diamonds retailers are the only ones qualified to value these artifacts, and are prepared to offer very large quantities of CMKX stock in exchange for your HFUC AH images.)
Here’s an early HFUC AH. Note the mixed case text – like the better comics, most HFUC AH’s are all upper case – and a reference to GLUV Corp’s mangled series of splits and reverse splits, a brief and now-forgotten knee-slapping footnote in financial history.
(to Superstition – By Stevie Wonder)
Ve-ry suspicious, writing’s on the wall,
Ve-ry suspicious, that it’s about to fall,
Thirteen months since running, cannot trace the cash
Almost a trillion printed, hope is in the past.
When you plead the fifth, when you’re put on the stand,
You’re gonna suffer,
Revocation’s on the way
Ve-ry suspicious, what happened to “The Plan”?,
Bad luck was the problem, they’re doing all they can,
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin’ strong,
Frizzy’s gonna save us, someone pass the bong.
When you plead the fifth, when you’re put on the stand,
You’re gonna suffer,
Revocation any day, yeh, yeh.
Ve-ry suspicious, what more can I say,
Ve-ry suspicious, the SEC’s been paid,
Thirteen months since running, cannot trace the cash
Almost a trillion printed, hope is in the past.
When you plead the fifth, when you’re put on the stand,
You’re gonna suffer,
Revocation’s on the way, ya, ya, ya
Indeed. Been catching up on all the interesting events of the last few weeks. I see Frizzel has made about $100,000 for filing a couple of motions. Nice work if you can get it.
It's addictive, ain't it?
Had to see how this turns out.
lol, welcome back!
We can never know about the days to come
But we think about them anyway
And I wonder if you really bought the lies
Or are just pumping it for pay.
Deregistration, Deregistration
Is making me late
Is keeping me waiting
And I tell you how easy it is to see the red flags
And the house and the hummers for Urbie.
Though the company pretends to fight
No filings on EDGAR will not please the SEC.
Deregistration, Deregistration
Is making me late
Is keeping me waiting
And come Tuesday we might not be together
I'm no prophet, I don't know Judge’s ways
I'll hope some of you have seen the light now
And from here on won’t get sucked in on these plays.
Deregistration, Deregistration
Is making me late
Is keeping me waiting
That's a faux grub!
Even better, find the sheet music on the internet and cut and paste it so we can all follow along.
nice grub!
Thanks Pat!
A little birdie told me it was available!
Nice grub Susie
It's the old Mad Magazine thing, it helps. Thx
That was to "I will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston. I always figure people will get it, ot they won't and putting the name of the original won't help, but I'll give it a try.
Evening Burp!
Oh my...did I find a grub?
Can you put "sung to the tune of" at the bottom of those... I can't figure that particular tune out. Thanks in advance.
Mr Long: 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint.
(The pumper-clown does not respond.)
Mr Long: 'Ello, Miss?
Pumper-clown: What do you mean "miss"?
Mr Long: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint!
Pumper-clown: We're closin' for lunch.
Mr Long: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this stock what I purchased not half an year ago based on your recomedation.
Pumper-clown: Oh yes, the, uh, the CMKX...What's,uh...What's wrong with it?
Mr Long: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. It's dead, that's what's wrong with it!
Pumper-clown: No, no, It's uh,...It's resting.
Mr Long: Look, matey, I know a dead stock-play when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.
Pumper-clown: No no it's not dead, it's, it's restin'! Remarkable stock, the CMKX, idn'it, ay? Remarkable acreage!
Mr Long: The acreage don't enter into it. It's stone dead.
Pumper-clown: Nononono, no, no! It's resting!
Mr Long: All right then, if it's restin', I'll wake it up! (shouting at the screen) 'Ello, Mister Naked Short Victim! I've got a lovely fresh settlement for you if you show...
(pumper-clown ups the bid)
Pumper-clown: There, it moved!
Mr Long: No, it didn't, that was you spoofing the bid!
Pumper-clown: I never!!
Mr Long: Yes, you did!
Pumper-clown: I never, never did anything...
Mr Long: (yelling and bidding the ask repeatedly) 'ELLO URBIE!!!!! Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call!
Mr Long: Now that's what I call a dead stock-play.
Pumper-clown: No, no.....No, 'it's stunned!
Mr Long: STUNNED?!?
Pumper-clown: Yeah! You stunned it, just as it was wakin' up! Mineral pplays stun easily, major.
Mr Long: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That stock-play is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an year ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged run.
Pumper-clown: Well, it's...it's, ah...probably pining for the fjords.
Mr Long: PININ' for the FJORDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did it fall flat on its back the moment I got it home?
Pumper-clown: The CMKX prefers keepin' a low bid! Remarkable stock, id'nit, squire? Lovely acreage!
Mr Long: Look, I took the liberty of examining this stock when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on the ask in the first place was that it had been PUMPED there.
(pause)
Pumper-clown: Well, o'course it was pumped there! If I hadn't pumped that stock up, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent 'em apart with its beak, and VOOM! Feeweeweewee! To Da Moon!!!!!!!!
Mr Long: "VOOM"?!? Mate, this stock wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'It's bleedin' demised!
Pumper-clown: No no! 'It's pining!
Mr Long: it's not pinin'! 'It's passed on! This stock-play is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and lost it's market makers! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn't fooled a thousand longs 'it'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'It's off the twig! 'it's kicked the bucket, 'it's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-STOCK-PLAY!!
(pause)
Pumper-clown: Well, I'd better replace it, then. (he takes a quick peek behind the counter) Sorry squire, I've had a look 'round the back of the shop, and uh, we're right out of mining plays.
Mr Long: I see. I see, I get the picture.
Pumper-clown: I got a slug.
(pause)
Mr Long: Pray, does it talk?
Pumper-clown: Nnnnot really.
Mr Long: WELL IT'S HARDLY A BLOODY REPLACEMENT, IS IT?!!???!!?
Pumper-clown: N-no, I guess not. (gets ashamed, looks at his feet)
Mr Long: Well.
(pause)
Pumper-clown: (quietly) D'you.... d'you want to come back to my place?
Mr Long: (looks around) Yeah, all right, sure.
My cash I will play,
Bashers cannot make me sway.
I won't go, cause I know
I was right on this stock play.
And I am sold on Maheu.
I am sold on Maheu.
You, my darling Maheu. Hmm.
Free worthless divvies
at least I'm taking with me.
No goodbye. I won't cry.
We both know I sold long ago.
And I am sold on Maheu.
I am sold on Maheu.
(Instrumental solo)
I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of.
And I wish to Urbie, joy and happiness.
If you drop the soap, remember the glove.
And I am sold on Maheu.
I am sold on Maheu.
I am sold on Maheu.
I, I am sold on Maheu.
You, Urbie, I love you.
Ooh, I'll always, I'll always love you.
His name is Urbie, he sold the U-hauls
With the stock painted on racecars, it's headed straight on up to Mars
He loved to gamble, hitting the slots
And while he tried to be a star, ol' Ed D ran it from afar
And in their office suite, they worked from noon till 3
They were well paid and had some lemmings
Who could ask for more?

His name was Mach-o, he had a stock board
He wanted a basher free zone, because he couldn't hold his own
When it was finished, he gave it over
But Mach-o went a bit too far, and Bob Z fried his derriar
And then the insults flew and then IHUB was torn in two
There was fear in a handful of dust
But some were blind that they had lost

His name is Mahue, he fronted Hughes
But that was 30 years ago, since then he hasn't has much use
Now he's a has-been, but not to the sheep
He's still Mission Impossible guy, shorties surely now will fry
Minimum they'll be fined, a fraction of what they robbed you blind
He took your cash but drew the SEC
I think he'll be confined.

Sorry for the repost, had to change a line....
On a warm summer’s evenin’ on a train bound for nowhere,
I met up with the pumper; we were both too tired to sleep.
So we took turns a starin’ out the window at the darkness
’til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak.
He said, son, I’ve made a life out of stealing people's savings,
And getting them to buy more by the way I theorize.
So if you don’t mind my sayin’, I have seen you at the races.
For a taste of your whiskey I’ll give you some advice.
So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light.
And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression.
Said, if you’re gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right.
You got to know when to pump ’em, know when to dump ’em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when you’re dishing out the fable.
There’ll be time enough for countin’ when you sell into the run.
Now ev’ry pumper knows that the secret to decevin’
Is to divert the mark's attention from promises we don't keep.
’cause ev’ry stock's a winner and ev’ry stock's a loser,
And the best that you can hope for is to dump them on some sheep.
So when he’d finished speakin’, he turned back towards the window,
Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep.
And somewhere in the darkness the pumper, he was scheming.
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.

Everybody's buyin' a can't miss stock, now
(Come on baby, do the Stock-promotion)
Come and listen to me while I feed you a crock, now
(Come on baby, do the Stock-promotion)
The billboard can be seen on racing on the TV;
And disregard the action by the SEC
So come on, come on, do the Stock-promotion with me.
You gotta pass on the tip, now. Come on, baby.
Pump up. Attack. Well, now, I think you've got the knack.
Now that you can do it, let's bring some more in.
(Come on baby, do the Stock-promotion)
Preferably the wealthy, with more money to pour in.
(Come on baby, do the Stock-promotion)
Do it nice and easy, now, don't lose control:
Average down and dump more money in the hole.
So come on, come on, do the Stock-promotion with me.
Everyone wants more in a Stock-promotion.
(Come on baby, do the Stock-promotion)
Be sure to tell your friends if you get the notion.
(Come on baby, do the Stock-promotion)
There's never been a stock like this, now way we can lose.
Here's a good post by Sterling you might want to peruse,
So come on, come on, do the Stock-promotion with me.
Thanks, Kenny...lol...very good...this board needs to be revived

Who's the ruler of this scene
Wolfing down those Krispy Kremes?
MATT!
Ya damn right!
Who loves all the pumper clowns
And those whose heads are in the ground?
MATT!
Can you dig it?
Who's the cat who wusses out
When pumpers throw their weight about?
MATT!
Right On!
They say this cat Matt is a bad mother
SHUT YOUR MOUTH!
I'm talkin' 'bout Matt.
THEN WE CAN DIG IT!
He's a complicated man
No one tells him what to do except for Mach's clan
Matt Brown!
Attention CMKX shareholders…
Everything is hearsay until we get a PR
We don’t know the full story yet
I still think anyone holding this stock is in for a pleasant surprise
Don't worry we are not out of the ball game yet
We all know that the SEC can't see past their nose and are slow to react
Don't panic, it is only temporary and looks like it will be GOOD not BAD
Actually it is Good when trading is suspended to check out HUGE valuation
Roger performed his duty in spectacular fashion just like he always does
It's going to take ten days to check out all the fist sized Diamonds
I think the stock was starting a nice rise but it was being manipulated to keep it down that could be what the suspension is all about
I'm sure Roger knew all about the suspension and was well prepared for it. I believe this is a deal worked out in the back room and is no surprise to anybody in the know
Yours truly
Bagdad Bob
