Mr. Churak, I see Koikaze did not respond to you. That's probably because he has seen better drivel that he can relate to his "first time". See #msg-453527
Sincerely,
AK
CYMI ML sell. Zeev, the ML "sell" on CYMI was made public today, but shouldn't one assume that their clients/trading desks, whatever, had the report at least yesterday, or before, and if that is the case, for keeping score, shouldn't 24-25 be used as the "keeping score" price? Kind of interesting how CYMI spiked right before that report became public, isn't it? <ng>

Churak, for all the time and work everybody made with PMSWitch's test today, seems like you could have just opened the paper and read horoscopes...
AK
p.s. Long day at the grill--puffer fish was the special.
Zeev, are you considering buying KLAC in AH?
Thanks,
AK

whitelake, tony seemingly applied that term to himself, so it is unclear precisely what was meant by the comment; it may have nothing to do with membership status. That said, taking a paid membership for a minimum period would give tony access to Private Messages where he could clarify his position, or the position of those he perceives are insulting him, alternatively, iHub has Happy Hour several times per week whereby tony would have access to Private Messages and all other paid membership benefits. He could use that vehicle to clarify whatever issues he has with others who post. I assume you would agree?
BoP, Club Matt has changed a bit with the new staff comedians; we are waiting for new inmates to give them their pun-ishment. In addition to Sheriff Matt, there is also an experienced ex-Warden who stops by, and we temporarily have a Jailhouse-Attorney-in-Residence who is available for pro bono work, upon request.
Zeev, did you keep your buy of CYMI from this morning? Will you hold it overnight? Also, did you get back into NOVN; I repurchased at 12.50 on today's dip, which I assume came because of Wyath's discussion on hormone therapy.
Thanks,
AK

Looks good. Thanks. I'll give it to my barista. Cloves?

Defending those of your ilk?
Do I look like a programmer to you?? You guys are making a lot of noise -- some of us are trying to work.
AK
p.s. Sorry, I forgot both of you take afternoon naps. Guess this punny stuff tires you out. Hey, why not take your naps NOW, so you will be fresh to play after market hours?
The man just wants a response from Zeev.
Think Zeev's response will help him? See #msg-548538
A reading challenged poster like myself...
If that's the case, you have several choices: 1) Improve your comprehension skills; 2) Find material to read that is more suited to your level.
Complaining won't help you move forward -- it seemingly is keeping you running in place.
Good luck to you!

Sarals, if you are going to LOL to the sexist posts, you're always going to get them. Stand up for feminism!!
AK
Mr. Houston, I know for a fact that Sarals is sensitive to male chauvinist posts such as yours; you would do well to apologize, and rewrite your punch line.
Of course, and then I sent him home.
AK
Credit to you Troy; I can't spell "apostrophes". In retrospect, I can't spell Houston either <g>.
AK
Counselor Huston, either you've been spending too much time with the ex-Warden or you mock his writing style:
Can one beg for punishment any more than this without calling a 1-900 number to satisfy the need.....
Is your writing (above) not comparable to Fred's (below)?
And, now, kind sir, if you will excuse me
I'm off to face the which ...
Which story I'm going to tell.
Special Recognition Award to Counselor Huston for this:
I assume little to nothing (usually) and certainly do not do so when it is not there to be assumed. You presume I assume when I assume nothing for you to presume.
AK
Churak, go find your bar of soap! New fish may be a-coming! Doesn't this sound a bit like you when you were a newbie? See #msg-548188
AK
p.s. And I thought Matt had given up on the Jailhouse -- he must really be pissed at these guys.
I'd be greatful if you'd quit mocking on my literary style.
Mr. Koikaze, I don't understand your complaint. The post of mine you have linked to is not your writing style at all, except that your doggerel might occasionally be compared with my drivel.
Good night to you, sir!
AK
...it is totally inappropriate for me to intrude here...
Yup!
AK
Fred, whatever Sara's sense of humor, it's a good thing you didn't ask What's "An intuitive thinker"? Is that a person that doesn't don't know squat about anything but jumps to conclusions about everything ...
intuitive
\In*tu"i*tive\, a. [Cf. F. intuitif.] 1. Seeing clearly; as, an intuitive view; intuitive vision.
2. Knowing, or perceiving, by intuition; capable of knowing without deduction or reasoning.
You may have noticed that I think enough of Sara not to go there; I merely called her a "linear" thinker. But, I suppose, she did bring all this upon herself -- sometimes you are better off not reminiscing about the past...

Fake I.D.? Hardly necessary, my dear Carolyn, unless you would think one would dye their hair gray merely to pass.
Perhaps you could help me remember the name of the drink I had while an underage youth in college. The recipe is simple enough:
6 - 8 oz. (fresh dripped) coffee
1 - 1 1/2 oz. Irish Mist
Top with (heavy) whipped cream
I know it is a version of Irish Coffee, and to my memory, was much lighter and enjoyable than the version made with Irish Whiskey.
It is an ideal drink to enjoy with a friend, spouse, lover, mistress, companion, or ______(fill in as P.C.) while lounging at the fireplace on a cold and windy, even dreary, night, such as is typical of the mid-West. Oh my, guess I had one too many, my fingers runneth over the keyboard.
Barkeeper, may I have two of those Irish Misty things; yes, one is for my 'therapy companion' dog, the one sitting over there by the fireplace...
AK
(Carolyn, very few posts at the Jailhouse today, but some very good writing, if I say so myself -- please take a look, and leave a comment to somebody's post. Lawyer Houston has graced us with his presence, and inimitable writing <g>.)
Counselor Houston, pursuant to post #msg-548149, you say: You tell 'um Matt!!!
As you suggest that Matt is still trying to get some new jail meat [sic] I would make the following observations.
Your junior partner, Mr. Shuraq, Esq. (any relation to Churak?), appears to have failed you in abstracting #msg-548076, and, more importantly, you have made an assumption based upon information which does not exist, to wit, nowhere in that posting by IH Admin (Matt) does he indicate that the Jailhouse is, or could be, a viable alternative to continuing infractions by one Mr. Surferdude (I infer the male gender for the feminine would more correctly be Surferdudette). Instead, the threat of account suspension for an indeterminate period, or account termination, which would foreclose the alterative of indeterminate suspension, is made. [Editor's Note: this appears to be a distinction without distinction.]
From the above, I daresay you have again erred by suggesting that Admin. Matt may actually be attempting to find fish for the Jailhouse, and even implying that Mr. Surferdude may be a potential inmate because of his fowl and meaty language.
However, ignoring the foregoing, hypothesizing that your incorrect assumption was inadvertent, I do have concern for your accepting at face value a statement that was made, clearly without supporting evidence. I am, dear Counselor, referring to the following statement Mr. Matt made in the previously referenced #msg-548076 (not to be confused with your #msg-548149 referred to in the header hereto):
This site is a thriving and on-going example that a civil, intelligent discussion and will exist if everybody i [sic] willing to participate as adults.
Does not this statement assume facts not in evidence?
Your considered opinion will be most welcome as equally as, I am sure, my opinion considering your proffered opinion was welcomed by me, so please opine away.
Your humble servant,
A. Kvetch
Hi Carolyn, can we get anything alcoholic here?
AK
Dear Counselor Houston:
I see that Mr. Churak, Esq. has already disposed of your 'bill' in a prior posting, so I do not need to discuss your proclivity for obfuscation; further, rectitude is generally not found here, except when ex-Warden Fred visits. If you must use such language, "turpitude" is more descriptive of this place. However, I digress, you said:
Matt is still trying to get some new jail meat
I would remind you, a statement such as this one of yours is neither fish nor fowl and is typical of your writing (for which you send a bill to duck). In the instant case, it is a trial to have to digest such verbiage, not that I care to either sit in judgment nor weigh evidence, but clearly your current work endeavor has not enlightened you as to the proper argot for this thread.
Indeed, had you merely looked at #msg-537229 and the writing of one Mr. Churak, Esq. in the post immediately preceding said referenced message, you would know that we encourage the use of proper terminology on this thread, and in furtherance of that endeavor, you will find embedded in the aforementioned message a link to a resource that should prove invaluable in your specific instance, to wit, a specialized on-line compendium of Jailhouse jargon.
So as to avoid the expense, inconvenience and aggravation of potential litigation, I trust that you will promptly respond with a missive acknowledging the error of your ways.
Cordially,
AKvetch (Mr. Churak's Social Worker)
I think he pegged himself very well!
Yes he has; and clearly he is much faster at typing posts than I am.
AK
Isn't there another category, for people like Churak?
AK
I'm absolutely sure Sarals will agree with THAT!
AK
I'm an intuitive thinker
Aren't those mutually exclusive? If you are intuitive, you don't have to think.
While Churak tries to think, Troy Houston has already diagnosed him as dissociative.
AK
p.s. I try to avoid thinking entirely; it seems like WORK!
Churak, I see you are still p-ssed about this:
...it would be nice if you would go over to the Jailhouse and assist in helping Churak make his adjustment. I did notice he tried to pick up the bartender at the Corner Bar, but that doesn't seem to be working out so well -- at least he is trying to get out more.
Ref: #msg-547267
AK
Churak, you're not planning doing your 'drop the soap' gig for the new fish, are you?
AK
No Churak, I'll do my own babbling, thank you. Perhaps you are confused. Were you suggesting your link was about our very own Troy, who posts here?
AK
Sara, here's something that happened to Warden Fred.
AK
==============
Warden Fred received a parrot for Christmas. The parrot was fully
grown, with a very bad attitude and even worse vocabulary.
Every other word was an expletive; those that weren't
expletives were, to say the least, rude. Fred tried to
change the bird's attitude by constantly saying polite
words, playing soft music - anything that he could think
of. Nothing worked.
He yelled at the bird, and the bird got worse. He shook the
bird, and the bird got even more rude. Finally, in a moment
of desperation, Fred put the parrot in the freezer.
For a few moments he heard the bird swearing, squawking,
kicking and screaming. Then, suddenly, there was absolute
quiet. Fred was frightened that he might have actually
hurt the bird, and quickly opened the freezer door.
The parrot calmly stepped out onto Fred's extended arm and
said, "I'm sorry that I offended you with my language and
my actions, and I ask your forgiveness. I will endeavor to
correct my behavior."
Warden Fred was astounded at the changes in the bird's attitude
and was about to ask what had changed him, when the parrot
continued, "May I ask what the Chicken did?"
