OT -- Speaking of monotony, ol' Trainz is a grandfather again. Baby Alison arrived at 6am yesterday and checked in at 7lbs, 6oz. Mother and baby doing great -- my son is a bit ragged though. One more good reason for this company to get its butt in gear.
OT -- peep22 -- Thank you. eom
peep: It would be to everyone's benefit if you would keep your religious and/or otherworldly opinions off of this board. I daresay there is nobody here interested in them. Further, given the rambling, rag-time length of posts that ARE on-topic, I doubt seriously if many read all of them either. Hasher pointed out back when this board was formed that it is NOT a democracy. To make matters worse, he chose me as one of his co-censors. It wouldn't upset me in the least to use that option in your case. Your schtick is becoming very monotonous, boring and -- yes -- even quite predictable. Please keep your opinions to yourself.

My my. From 3/4 of a million shares to 800. Congratulations, whoever the poor chump/s was who bought into Elbee's latest. You've become the very latest in a very long line of disillusioned shareholders who've been pooned by Elbee. Next stop, $.04/.05. Allowing for double-prints, there's another 5.5 million shares just waiting for a new home and soon.
POB: The sky ain't falling -- we see this chit several times in the course of a year, if you think about it. IMO, Elbee blew some smoke up someone's butt, dumped some of those 6 million shares in order to put fuel in the Elbeemobile and ain't nothin' gonna happen for a month. In a month, whoever the recipient of the shares and smoke happens to be THIS time is gonna get pissed and dump them when they realize they've been had. Geez, what a waste of perfectly good technology in the hands of a complete moron! I'm fond of saying that even a blind squirrel finds an occasional nut, but THIS squirrel is definitely the exception to that rule!
Quarter of a million shares -- looks like the begginning of the 6 mil sell-off is taking place. A mini-Elbee P&D.
Thank you, freki, for your efforts on all of our behalves. Insofar as Elbee's remarks, one must hope that even a blind squirrel finds an occasional nut.
With Mr. Rogers passing, perhaps Elbee could step into the breach with his brand of down-home entertainment. For example, he could take off the leather jacket and cowboy boots, slip into the fuzzy sweater and sneakers and tell us all about the big deals that are happening behind the scenes. Then we'd all feel much better about the 6 milliion shares about to be "spent".
POB: Gracias, huzzah, may it come to pass -- etc.
The right individual at the helm of the company would have forged the right relations with enough companies to bring the battery -- or the pipelink -- or the grain drier -- out of testing and into the marketplace. People having done business with Elbee are also most likely aware of how to run a Google Search. Does anyone think for a moment they are actually impressed with our fearless leader? Peep, you have opined on several occasions that the real problem is not Elbee. I must disagree, and not respectfully, at that.
As long as Elbee has any interface with potential important allies, we are in a world of hurt!
As Bob Prince, announcer for the Pittsburgh Pirates used to say: "You can kiss it good-bye."
Congratulations, gamood! It's a new lease on life, I'll tell you! Enjoy every minute.
teemer: Please file this under the FWIW dept., but I really DO believe that logman has but one alias, as does his dad. He recently had the "opportunity" to meet Elbee and see him in action. It is my understanding that he (Elbee) is quite the convincer and did so with logman. If there's anybody's word here whom I trust, number one is Hasher, 2 is Oris and 3 is logman. Again, FWIW.
Did anyone happen to catch that teleconference? I was tied up with my annual "Festival of the Leaves" raking and disposing of the little mothers! lol
gamood: All good questions. I'm afraid that the forum will be as soft-ball as you can get, though. Maybe at the next shareholders meeting? Ha!
Doggie:
My, that was a well thought-out post to Preamp. "Get out...or shut your pie-hole." Given the many thousands of dollars he has invested, I would say he can leave, stay, or whatever he wishes -- with his "pie-hole" wide open. Now, why don't YOU head back over to Raging Bull from where you undoubtedly came.
File this under the FWIW column, but the information regarding the UK thing was originated by Elbee. If it's reality, it'll be the first.
Hi, POB:
When I say that I don't believe that Elbee is capable of telling the truth, I mean that quite literally. There are people in this world who simply cannot and will not tell the truth -- they simply cannot. Unfortunately, IMO, we have on such individual with his hands on the steering wheel of what could already by a wildly profitable concern (again, IMO). Instead, precious time and resources are being squandered during "Elbee's Excellent Adventure". It is, IMO III, going to be this penchant for falsehood that flushes him out for good. Here's hoping there's something left when that happens.
Let's all not forget that THIS WEEK is supposed to finally be the NEXT WEEK that was promised FOUR WEEKS ago. Maybe Elbee has some "shock and awe" planned for us.
teemeup: You MUST be aware of my complete and utter agreement with your post. However, I would still like to say -- ditto, and well said. I hope your "days are numbered" prediction is accurate. Too bad that, if the name Balak IS middle eastern, that he wasn't around for "shock and awe" day -- right in the center of the action. Ya think a Cruise Missile could be programmed to hit the schmuck? The bar would have to be emptied first, though. Don't want to injure any innocents.
TE: Nope, just a MOTHER.................That was very good, tho! lol
Given the little fella's penchant for not being able to finish things, the thought that there was French ancestry crossed my mind.
POB -- Sounds like Transylvania to me -- or is that Puttsylvania? Serially though, it DOES sound like some kind of Balkan country name??
I like it, Don. Can I come along? No need for bait on that trip, I'll bet. lol
Agreed, Bullowl -- or if Elbee is given 48 hours to ride out of Dodge or an immediate and awesome shareholder revolt proceeds "at a time of our choosing".
Teemeup: Thanks for the complaint site. Anyone planning on filing a complaint please be sure that the b!tch is within their bailiwick. They don't care if Elbee is doing bad checks, that's a state concern. But, items like filings without enough signatures, for example, would probably get their attention.
Rock on, Elbee!
mlf: That's really good news re: the 6 mil for consultants. I was afraid the "treasury" might be depleted and there would be no more party favors available for those hard working consultants. I assume that the filing had all the necessary signatures required by law. Rock On, Elbee!
The mystery regarding what "next week" really means might be cleared up. If "next week" was supposed to be last week -- the week of March 3rd, and, in accordance with Hasher's email, there are people coming next week (week of March 17th) with a teleconference the following week, (March 24th), the "next week" REALLY means "in four weeks" or, in a month.
So, what's the over/under as to the day/week it really happens?
gamood: It's really quite simple, you know. Seeing as how last week was the week-before's next week, this would make this week last week's next week or the week before that's next-next week. Now, chances of this week being "the week" being weak, making next week the possible "next week" in the much heralded news release is much more probable. Certainly one miracle for this week is enough and that one miracle was the finding of the Smart girl alive and, hopefully, well. Maybe next week will be OUR miracle week.
Tex: "Just exactly what is your definition of next week?"
I guess it depends on what your definition of "is" is. lol
Has anyone contacted this "Princeton Research" guy, Mike King, lately? I just called to inquire as to when the "telecom" thing was happening. To say he was "vague" would be an understatement. When he couldn't answer that query without first "checking with" Elbee, I stated something to the effect that "there's not much happening" with the outfit. His answer was that "There's lots happening." Know what? Bull crap! Elbee has another one buffaloed. IMO, of course!
ZAP is at it again:
ZAP Reveals New Lithium-Ion Battery Technology that Could Quadruple Range of Electric Cars
SEBASTOPOL, Calif. (March 10, 2003) - ZAP (OTC BB:ZAPZ) announced today it is revealing a new battery technology for electric cars on the Science Channel, a lithium-ion chemistry with the potential to quadruple the performance of today's conventional electric vehicle batteries.
In an interview with "Science Central," which is scheduled to air tonight, Monday, March 10, 2003 at 8:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, ZAP CEO Steve Schneider says that the new lithium-ion battery technology is similar to that used in cell phones, but with improvements that increase its energy output. "It allows amperage to go in and out at a rapid pace which is what you need to drive something as large as an automobile," says Schneider. "Really, that is what makes this different, it's the first of its kind that is affordable and available to the public."
The energy density of the lithium-ion battery has a 4-1 ratio compared to lead-acid batteries, meaning it could extend the range of today's electric cars from 60 miles to 240 miles per charge. ZAP CEO Steve Schneider calls the new technology the "Holy Grail" for this industry, saying that billions of dollars have been spent in recent years by government and industry to find ways of reducing automotive emissions by developing new battery technologies.
The announcement comes at a time when many experts are pointing at hydrogen fuel cells as a clean way to power automobiles. But Schneider notes that an infrastructure would be needed to refuel the hydrogen, while with electrics the infrastructure is already in place because they can plug into any normal electrical outlet
During the program, Schneider demonstrates ZAP's new car, the Light Utility Vehicle, or L.U.V., a neighborhood electric car with a top-speed of 25 MPH that is now available. ZAP is working to launch a "L.U.V.-Line" of electric automobiles, which includes freeway-capable automobiles as well as vans, pickups and tractors.

The two most over-used words in Elbee World -- "Next Week".
I'm standing here at the gate to Elbee World looking at all the wonderful rides that were started and then abandoned. Over there is the Ballard Roller Coaster which ends at the peak of the first rise. The East Penn Bumper Car ride has but a single car. There's the "Two Men and a Truck" ride over in the corner with the wheels off. There's a bunch of guys from Catella here at the gate also. They have money in their hands and want to spend it on the rides -- but have been turned away. I can't see any more rides from here -- maybe "next week" when they're open for business -- here in Elbee World.
Awful quiet here in Elbee World. Must be sompin BIG gonna happen!
Churak: I just spoke with Hasher not more than an hour ago. He apparently got caught in the squeeze in the WM/LB unpleasantness and is kind-of in limbo at this time. His company-paid phone number is still in operation which says something, I suppose, but for how long nobody knows. As Graeme pointed out, he has still maintained his sense of humor throughout what's happened, which is more than I can say for myself.
gamood: I got the "Stock Genie" thing on UIBI. It seemed to me it was about time for something to happen there again. This time, I bought in.
hotdogs: It would please me no end to remove the uninformed, athiestic, euro-trash comments uttered by our pathetic friend. To do so, however, would play right into his hands. How is it that this company attracts flakes like that? Are all other companies on these various boards plagued by one or two of them as well or are we the only lucky ones? Ignoring him would be the best play, but it's like the scene of an accident -- ya just got to take a look. Well, we've got a couple of days reprieve unless he's as dishonest about staying away as he was with the "over and out" comment.
Life can be a real slice, can't it?
peep:
What I "honest and for real" think is that you have a firm grip on the obvious when you take the time to type the definition of "bulletproof". The fact that I was pooning you and it didn't register is comical and maybe a little on the sad side. Perhaps you warped into black-op mode or something. (More pooning).
One thing's for dead-nuts certain -- none of the investors here are bulletproof. We lose more of our life's blood with every day that this company stagnates in the nickel range -- or even the two-bit range for that matter.
Ineptitude, thy name is balak.
"To bulletproof means to make oneself invulnerable to bullet injury or death."
Honest and for real?
hotdog: You might be right but ain't gonna work. The gates are still open and the dam is rapidly losing water.
