Should I save my concerns about Cooley breaking his ankle Monday vs. the Eagles and the fact that the 'Skins are going to finish 3-13 for Deadspin? #dc
@Spirit Fingers: Naw, I hear you. Even in elementary school I used to call extreme bullshit on those textbooks that'd try to tell us shit like how Neptune's core is 84% cupro-nickel and ammonium hydrosulfide ice.
I mean... not only have we never been there, but if, at the time, the best we had was a scant Hubble photograph of a fucking blue sphere, how can they possibly tell us with certainty what the CORE is made up of? I appreciate science, but how is that not pure speculation?
@lobstr: Ya'll need to get up on your astronomical spectroscopy. Helps you evaluate stuff like the properties of planets and star jones weight befoe and after the surgery.
I know a young woman who makes these adorable things for the show and Miss Martha consistently dicks this talented artist out of her due credit every SINGLE time. I'd like to beat MS with that handle-free rolling pin.
@Cynical Media Bitch: The movie about the Emperor Penguins was adopted by some christian loons. "They're like us!" Here are quasi-fish hiking 70 miles to a singles spot, meeting and breeding, then dropping eggs, which are cuddled on the insteps of the fathers while ma goes back to the drink for grub, then she returns (210 miles, if you're counting) to spit up some of her meal for pa and the chick, who've been standing around in a moon crater with 128 mph winds. Then all the survivors gleefully hike back to the sea (that's 280 miles for mama in four months). The end. Sounds like some Baptists I have known, sho' 'nuff.
@JacquesPaysan: Actually we got with in about 5 points of 2002 today if it had dropped 6 points, we'd be at the worst point since 1998, which means that if you had put a dollar in the stock market 10 years ago, you wouldn't have made a penny. Considering that a liter of coke cost 99 cents then and it costs about $2.29, that means we're actually down in real value by about 60 percent since 1998. How do you like them apples.
Look at the chart with a log scale and fit the curve with a line. If your line is anything like mine, everything past 2005 was above even high markets of the past, and Dow at 4000 isn't as crazy as it sounds.

I guess I'm a Neptunecorer..

Not as big of a bitch as Martha, though.
What made -23 ('82) more memorable than -25 (in '85) was the constant 60mph wind. Think Antarctica without the penguins.

Sad thing is they're going to take the Constitution, civil liberties, free speech, and the rule of law down in the collapse...
People didn't mind (or even pay attention to) the incremental infringements while their 401 K was getting fatter.
And now?
Well, now it's too late to push back.
When the clampdown comes, you'll either be working for it, or you'll be a terrorist, with no rights whatsoever.
