I'm around, Freddie. I'm just a bit at odds with the board's moderator.
No, no, no. They don't start to settle for Vegas until it has reached "The CEO Cares About Us" stage. At that point, the bulk of your investment has already been transformed into the CEO's new living room furniture, and you're hosed.
I call it the "Mullets in Maui" Rule. For any pinkie that has been running, put "Maui" in the board's search box. If they have started to yak about convening in Maui (or Cancun) to race their yachts, sell immediately. The stock has peaked and will not recover.
Hey, at least I sent it to the right person. I saw your new board. Want a surefire stock exit strategy?
Don't worry about it. If a cop tries to stop you, just make a run for it.
And we truly appreciate it.
No, that gent appears to suffer from "involuntary sexual behavior during sleep." I believe that Churak suffers from involuntary sleep behavior during sex.
And Chicago starts to play in the background.
Grubmonger.
Am I still here????
Tourette's.
Did you order a Wine Wheel yet? Rather than saying, "This tastes like shit," you'll be able to say "I detect a lingering bouquet of hydrogen sulfide."
We're pungent too.
This is a mean board.
I knew Spartacus. Spartacus was a friend of mine, and Soxie, you're no Spartacus.
We frown upon dangling here.
This is one of those "wrong side of town" boards. No grand crus or indie films here. Budweiser and Spartacus are more likely.
It isn't apparent.
And if they then rate the wine 90+, run for your life.
The White Zin or the Chillable Red? (Ha! I love that name.)
Hey, Hoople, about that Wine Wheel....
If you're drinking a wine and can instantly detect the aroma/flavor of "Mouse Nest," wouldn't that suggest that you have problems in your life well beyond the fact that you're drinking a crap wine?
You have a point, and anyway, time with a book would have subtracted from your People's World Weekly reading.
Hey, Blister Boy is going to fit right in. That rotation is a Disabled List in Waiting.
I would, Freddie, but I am in exile here. I'll be with you in spirit.
Okay, you talked me into it.
I would like a case of Budweiser. My second choice would be world peace.
Still with us, are you? Have you no rabble to rouse? Hey, Soxie, if you haven't read Tom Friedman's The World Is Flat, I urge you to do so (in an "I could actually give a shit" kind of way). I think that you'd find it most interesting.
Not until last call.
That is most kind of you. Had I realized I had left, I'd have returned much sooner.
That is the perfect quote for taking leave of this board.
I'm happy to see you. Oh, you were talking about the quote, weren't you?
That might be it.
The second best line is from the Deer Hunter, but I can't remember what it is.
Nevah.
It's spoken by a young Tony Curtis in "The Black Shield of Falworth." Myles Falworth (Curtis) is raised as a peasant in England circa Henry IV. In actuality, however, he is the son of some knight who screwed up or was disgraced at something.
Learning of his quasi-nobility, he travels across the land to claim his birthright. Nearing his destination, he stops, looks into the distance and Bronx born Curtis says:
"Yondah lies da castle of my faddah."
Perfection.
Hi, Hoople. Hey, you're a movie buff. Do you know what the greatest line -- bar none -- in the history of American film is? (To my knowledge, it has never made one of those Top 100 lists.)
When I first wake up, I look like an aging, shrinking white guy. Wait a minute....never mind.
I love your hair that way, so chic.
And you haven't aged a day.
Er....I couldn't think of a reply that was special enough for you. Yep, that was it.
Well, well, young master Freddie. Look at you. You're all grown up.
The disappointment must be excruciating.
