Who needs digital when we have the power of the Churak behind us?

That one's going to give me nightmares.
Take a bet on a sure thing? Too easy. As far as your "style" is concerned, I for one have always admired your captivating elocution.
oRt
Bless you 'mlady fair. I need all the help I can get.
ToR
Mea culpa, Mea maximus culpa. I shall endeavor not to let it happen again
oRT
Oy gevald! The mentsh resurfaces. Nice to see you again dwarf. It was becoming a tad stale around here without your presence, in spite of Soxy and Chu’s best efforts. L'chei-im, le'chayim!

Kahil Gibrans' cousin. Kahil Gibberish.
As in "I'd walk a mile for................"?
Nope. I've heard of Uzbeki but they wont come near the drop box.
Sunscreen or marinade Kingpin? Being in charge of the drop box for so long has made me quite carnivorous.

EGODS! The juggler returns, shsdes of Kuhnsie.
Put down the bong son.
I'm with you TSX. In T.O. today it's -29 with the wind chill and (SUPRISE!) the lights out in 22,000 homes thanks to a broken water main flooding a Hydro substation last night at around 10PM, and I'll bet you can't guess whos home ani't got no lights on. They're saying the power should be back on the grid by sometime LATE this pm. Shut off the water and headed to the office @ 5am to get warm. Gotta love this country.

Try Winterpig today -31 (wind chill feels like -45). Don't ya just love the Great White North?
I'm sure someone would have lent you a horse if you promised your daughter's hand in marriage.
Already tried that but no one was willing to be emasculated by a 5ft 114lb bad natured dervish. Such is my lot.

You could say that. and now all I have to remember them by are the Goats of Christmas past.

Sewsew (aka fremented Yak's milk), dhindo, and , *sigh*, goats,again. Perhaps Jimmy would like to take a turn at the barr.....er....Drop Box? There are some stunning photographs of dunes and ruins to be had here on the outskirts of the city. Of course the city itself is beautiful. Were it not for the electric whitches on constant patrol, I'd go in more often.

Happy New Year from Tashkent Kingpin. Can I come home soon?

From the same people that brought you Children of the Corn?
Is this different from the "Hindlick" manoeuvre?
Hi Grump,
Got to 80 Y O in August
Proof that only the good die young ;0)
Any thoughts on the "Ring of Fire" plays? Seems Dick got forced out at the last AGM and Pat Sr's. group are circiling the wagons.
Thought I'd ask an oldtimer.

How would you know if it isn't preggers?
Done.
Message from the Queen
To the citizens of the United States of America from Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates for President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately.
Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except Kansas , which she does not fancy).
Your new Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections.
Congress and the Senate will be disbanded.
A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed.
To aid in the transition to a British Crown dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:
(You should look up 'revocation' in the Oxford English Dictionary.)
1. Then look up aluminium, and check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it.
2. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour', 'favour', 'labour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters, and the suffix '-ize' will be replaced by the suffix '-ise'. Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. (look up 'vocabulary').
3. Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as 'like' and 'you know' is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. There is no such thing as US English. We will let M*crosoft know on your behalf. The M*crosoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take into account the reinstated letter 'u' and the elimination of -ize.
4. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday.
5. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not quite ready to be independent. Guns should only be used for shooting grouse. If you can't sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist then you're not ready to shoot grouse.
6. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. Although a permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.
7. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left side with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables.
Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.
8. The former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling gasoline) of roughly $10/US gallon. Get used to it.
9. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar.
10. The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager. South African beer is also acceptable as they are pound for pound the greatest sporting nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer. They are also part of British Commonwealth - see what it did for them. American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine, so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion.
11. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie MacDowell attempt English dialogue in Four Weddings and a Funeral was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater.
12. You will cease playing American football. There is only one kind of proper football; you call it soccer. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies).
13. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the World Series for a game which is not played outside of America . Since only 2.1% of you are aware there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. You will learn cricket, and we will let you face the South Africans first to take the sting out of their deliveries.
14. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad.
15. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due (backdated to 1776).
16. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 pm with proper cups, with saucers, and never mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; plus strawberries (with cream) when in season.
God Save the Queen!
Top ten times in history when the use of the “F” word was appropriate:
10. “Scattered showers my f**king ass!” – Noah, 4314 BC
9. “How the f**k did you work that out?” – Pythagoras, 126 BC
8. “You want WHAT on the f**king ceiling?” – Michelangelo, 1566
7. “Where did all those f**king Indians come from?” - Custer, 1876
6. “It does so f**king look like her!” – Picasso, 1926
5. “Where the f**k are we?” – Amelia Earhart, 1937
4. “Any f**king idiot could understand that!” – Einstein, 1938
3. “What the f**k was that?” – Mayor of Hiroshima, 1945
2. “I need this parade like I need a f**king hole in the head.” – JFK, 1963
1. “Aw c’mon…Who the f**k is going to find out?” – Bill Clinton

I've lost my share in the few thousand dollar area. You would like that would be enough for at least a nice dinner to say thank you

Don't think the second one would be an issue. 'O course I could be wrong, Lotus land is a different lind of place as I remember.

Sounds painful, but oh to have that power.......
the power to make Taylor+Chris to absquatulate
FYI,
When a reverse split is proposed the regulations state that upon NASDAQ approval, DTCC is notified of the provisions of the split and the brokerage houses are notified by DTC. The brokerage would then need to reconcile thier books/vault against the balances with Cede & Co. for example. Next DTC would request that the certs held at the brokerage be returned to DTC who in turn would forward the certs to the TA for Cancellation and re-issue. Oh, BTW the TA has an obligation to process the transactions within 72 hours of receipt of the certificates from DTC.
You're welcome.
