Useless Facts/Chit Chat Thread

[big kahuna1]

This sounds familiar - so maybe somebody posted this before. But, I just got this in an email today, and thought I'd share:

If, you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock two years ago, it would now be worth $49.00.

With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1000.00.

With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left

If you had purchased $1000 of Delta Air Lines stock you would have $49.00 left.

But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have $214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.


It's called the 401-Keg Plan

FINALLY, now I know why my retirement fun is at -0-!

I drink bottled beer!!!

I deal with Lowe's occasionally at work. They are on the Pete do not patronize list, with Capital one and General Dynamics.

Oh yeah.... CapitalOne is definitely on my "do not patronize list"!! I personally have never had one of their cards, but some of my friends who have said that their payments were purposely posted after the due date so that C.1 could justify raising their interest rate. Too many people have told me this for it not to be true - and I'm talking about people who are never late with their bills.

Yeah, I got the same email and I believe it to be good advice.

As long as we're publishing do not patronize lists, Pane's Restaurant should be on it. Purely local restaurant, but oh what the hey!

Deb, I am so sorry about the job! I will shop only at Home Depot just for you

It could be worse:

Minstrel: [singing] Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot. He was not afraid to die, oh brave Sir Robin. He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways, brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin. He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp, or to have his eyes gouged out, and his elbows broken. To have his kneecaps split, and his body burned away, and his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin. His head smashed in and heart cut out, and his liver removed, and his bowels unplugged, and his nostrils raped and his bottom burned off and his {name private part}...
Sir Robin: That's, uh, that's enough music for now, lads... looks like there's dirty work afoot.

Old Mr. Pane was cool, though! He didn't care if we were underage drinkers, as long as we paid!! Of course, back then it was sort of a dump. But no worries, Al, I'm not likely to go back there!!

AMI!!! I gotta dig out M.P. & the Holy Grail!

I am soooooooo in need of seeing this again!!

Okay - frivolity is over for me, for now. I've got to get ready and go to my second job at

[PolynesianPixie]

Where did you find that, Al?


Deb, don't work too hard tonight, Miss Orange Apron calendar girl!

 

[ntsammy5]

Where did you find that, Al?

I know someone who on occasion actually drinks that stuff!


I actually prefer Druid Fluid and Wailing Wench though from Middle Ages Brewing

Today is my oldest dd's 14th birthday. OMG....I can't believe I have a 14 yr old daughter. Sometimes it feels like she was just born !!
(other times I can't wait until she moves out )

We are celebrating by taking her out to dinner at her favorite Mexican restaurant and then she has her first softball practice of the season.
