It was a JOKE dear! I didn't really call Frank at 3 AM.
I just spoke to Frank. He said, "Who the h%## is this? Do you know what time it is?! How the h%## did you get this number?"
Cableguy,
Don't lose sleep over QBID. Just pray that Burger King doesn't join the no-carb craze.
Well, now we hear that there won't be any news until next week. Guess it was a little silly of me to wait up until 3 AM last night to see if there would be a 6 AM news release on the east coast. But am I stressed? Not at all! I feel wonderful! Shall I tell you my secret?
Burger King puts out an absolutely delicious 64 ounce milk shake. It comes in a flexible cup, so you can hold one in your hand as you drive, and jam another one between the passenger seat and the emergency brake. When you tilt it up to your face it is still possible to see the road with one eye if you turn your head slightly. If you pinch the cup a bit you can get the opening to conform to the shape of your mouth. That way when it all comes sloshing forward you don't get it in your eye or down your front. But who cares if you do? It's soooo good and soothing! Stressed? Not me!!
OMG! That chart looks just like my EEG, starting with my first cup of coffee.
Forget the hotline. I've just spoken with Frank! No, not Olsen. Frank Beyonda, the astrostock channeler. According to Frank the Moving Parabolic MACD Oscillator has entered the Bollinger-Kuiper Belt and is forming a Major Triad on the Ascendant with the EMA and Uranus! He says the PPS could change at any time!
That ALWAYS works!! (Except with electrical devices, where you have to back away QUICKLY!)
Sorry, that View/Refresh
Darn! Well, here's one I'm sure you've already tried, but on the off chance....
Hit the "Refresh" botton. (Tools/Refresh)
There's something else you could try.
Go to Tools/ Internet Options / Temporary Internet files Settings
Click "Every Visit To The Page"
Then click "OK"
If your problem is that your Internet Explorer is reverting to a saved version of the page, this should clear it up.
Appologies! If it's really going to hard launch on July 1st, you won't hear any complaints from me! Any time next month sounds pretty good. Maybe I'll call in sick for July. Or better yet, I'll call in gay!
Absolutely, but will there be any adds out today?
Don't mean to contradict anyone, but I thought we tracked down the "July 1st" launch date and decided that the company never said July 1st. They just said "July". The July 1st news started with a post from someone who said they'd spoken to Frank. Hope it's true, but I hate to see us set ourselves up for a disappointment if it doesn't launch on the 1st.
Foxy,
How do you do that? You're going to get Carpal Tunnel for sure!
Thank you DirtySanchez, Casprs1, and David for the info about MMs. David, your "Mystical Monkeys from Oz" made the most sense to me... "Oz" being Oswald State Penitentiary", right?
Would some kind person with a little time on their hands be willing to educate me on the subject of MMs? Who are they, and why are they interested in holding down the pps of QBID? I've been holding out in hopes that someone else would ask the question, but I guess I'll have to let my ignorance show.
Why is it that some of the gays feel it is their duty to go so far off in left field? The same reason that some straights feel it their duty to go so far off in left field I suppose. People are people.
ct_here,
I don't know what it was that you just sent with your message. It didn't display on my computer. But whatever it was, it worked! The stock just jumped .0001. Whatever it was, send it again!
Here on the west coast it's that last half-hour before the market opens that I love. That's the time when everything is possible. Well, I'm going back to sleep now.
Just kidding!
What you are calling a "misinformative slant" is in fact a statement of fact. As I stated, Ronald Reagan did not mention AIDS until his sixth year as president, and for years his federal budget on AIDS was less than San Francisco's AIDS budget alone. No misinformation. Fact. The "slant" came in your defensive response. If you feel the need to defend him, go right ahead.
Feeling defensive, Ray?
Actually Foxy, Ronald Reagan did not mention AIDS for the first six YEARS of his presidency. Under Reagan for a long time the entire Federal AIDS budget was smaller than the AIDS budget of the city of San Francisco.
Matrixxx,
You mean I've posted something again? Oh, dear. I remember sitting down at the computer, and....
Well, thank you anyway.
Good sleuthing, mot-too, but you've got me wrong. I'm still only in phase two of MIPS. (Multiple Identity Poster Syndrome) It's an insidious condition that tends to progress as follows:
Phase One: You get tired of just reading the posts and decide to join in by getting your first identity. Usually this happens out of boredom on an uneventful day when the stock is flat, or on a day when someone posts something that you feel you just have to respond to.
Phase Two: You begin to notice that several of the posters whom you find particularly irritating always tend to agree with each other. Not only that, they have the same writing style and even make the same grammatical errors. You begin to suspect that these different posters are in fact the same person, and you succumb to an irresistible urge to expose them. (This is basically a cry for help.)
Phase Three: Unaware that you are in the early stages of MIPS, readers begin to recognize you and respond to your messages. You find this oddly satisfying. As a result you post more often, and develop an online-persona. You are happy for a time, but it doesn't last.
Phase Four: You begin to feel limited by the online-persona that you have created for yourself. This may be the result of someone responding negatively to one of your posts. You want to tell them off, but this conflicts with the nice-guy persona that you have carefully created. So you try to respond nicely, but it just isn't satisfying. At this point you may begin to buy more stock or overeat.
Phase Five: Broke, or unable to reach the keyboard any longer, you obtain your second identity. Identity #2 enables you to say all the nasty things that Identity #1 could never say without anyone realizing that it is really you. You begin to save money or lose weight, but without realizing it, you are spending more and more time posting.
Phase Six: Two identities just won't do it anymore. After all those negative posts, Identity #2 has developed enemies on the bulletin board. He needs friends to agree with him and defend him against attacks from other Phase Five MIPers. But he's been so negative that even his own Identity #1 hates him. So he creates a third identity, and a fourth, and a fifth….
Phase Seven: The identities begin to lose track of each other. Several of the newer identities begin posting smears against the primary identity. Identity #1 is no longer in control. He experiences black-outs – periods of time in which he has no recollection. When he awakens from these black-outs he finds dozens of messages slamming him that were posted by identities he doesn't recognize as his own. He responds by slamming back, completely destroying his nice-guy reputation. Black-outs become more frequent. He even starts posting on weekends!
Phase Eight: The secondary identities develop MIPS and each begin dividing into multiple identities. In despair and unable to post any longer, Identity #1 commits bulletin board suicide by placing himself on ignore. The remaining identities eventually grow tired of attacking each other and eventually start bashing the stock.
afxm,
I'm not sure to whom you were replying, since your message was posted as a reply to afxm, but it certainly piqued my interest when you mentioned "aliases". It fascinates me that not only do certain people on this board frequently congratulate each other on sharing the same opinion, but those same people tend to share the same writing style and punctuation errors. You don't suppose.....
As far as I can tell, the "news" that the big 16-city advertizing blitz would start on June 1st came from message #10272 posted by georgeking23. Here's what he wrote:

Deveney will start their advertising and marketing blitz to 16 major G&L populated cities starting JUNE 1. This was confirmed by me thru Deveny. Just Relax, 2 Trading Days to official soft launch, HARD LAUNCH CONFIRMED IN JULY. QTV will have more than a 1/2 a year head start over that Logo channel.
Qbidlong,
I doubt very much that Frank Olsen admitted to being gay a few years ago in an interview, as you have stated. One admits to a problem, a fault, a weakness, a crime, etc.. Frank doesn't strike me as someone who views being gay as a something negative. I think what you probably meant to say is that he "acknowledged" that he is gay. At least I hope that's what you meant to say.
