Time for nuclear war

[CaseyJones]

All I ask for is a simple incineration job. Seven hundred, eight hundred billion tops.

Sounds reasonable. You could buy a nice bailout for that...

A dollar apiece.

The way things are goin' that'll be what we're worth, a dollar apiece.

Just enough to get things back to normal Close Wal-Mart forever.

OH, NO! Without Mall-Wart open 24/7 where am I gonna get Sam's Club and salami at 3:00 a.m.?!

And now we get down to this OT crap about the little ol' band from Texas.

If it's OT it's fer me!

Sheesh, I'll bet guitar player gives a good review of this POS just for the ad revenue.

Premier guitar has more of a clue than GP. They're more aware of the boutique market. We're too small to be a blip on mass marketing's radar. Unless we copy something that Randall Smith copied first.

I want more drilling, in more places and I want it NOW!

Yeah but it's too little too late. We been down that path, it's the old road and it's a dead end. In a way the price of oil is a good thing because we're forced to consider alternatives. At some point in the future what are currently alternatives will be the only choices we have left.

Oil is a drug, it's an anasthetic. Detroit plodded on and brought us oversized gas guzzlers just like they always have. Their research and design organizations are too ponderous to react quickly. Ideally they'd revive an older smaller more lightweight platform, retro-fit it with a hyper economical powerplant and move forwards. It's not like they can't do retro, look at the new Mustang. But instead they bring us hybrid SUVs.

Screw the caribou! Have you ever tasted caribou? It's like liver on the run. Yuk!

Canadians eat it. Pack it inside a VW bus full of ice, put a brick on the accelerator and point it towards Quebec.

Bend the suspension just right and you can pick up ZZ along the trajectory!

A trillion bucks in one year devoured by speculators. Bail out hell, set the house on fire and shoot the bastards as they run out!

Oh, the money is still there.

The other day I brought ten bucks worth of rolled pennies to the bank. The teller told me she'd have to charge me a buck to run 'em though their coin counter. BULLSHIT!! Charge me ten percent for two minute's worth of work right up front... just to count my damn money?! But that's the way these people operate. No value added, make money by passing the money hand to hand. The more money they move the more money they make. How many times do they have to count my money before they get almost all of it?!

[Tubetwang]

bringing 10 dollars worth of penneies to the bank is conterproductive in my opinion...

By the time you've rolled it up, pocketed it, drove it, stood in line...you have lost 90$ in time...

Better give it to the need-it roaming the streets...

Help the little guy...not the big Corporation

I don't collect amps. I build 'em.

This one has me puzzled... if the checks that are supposedly in the mail show up... this week will be the best week I've had. Amp building!

OK, I just had to laugh, I agree with you about Caribou tasting like " Liver on the run" and bail out who? I never got bailed out. It's POWER grab based on Fear. I don't need or want to borrow money. I think it might be good if they get sold off to the highest bidder. And property values get back to reality. If only my Property taxes were to spiral downward as well.

BTW, how do you guys insert a quote from a previous post? Also, how do you post pictures that don't require you to be logged in to view?

All you do is punch the big ol' "Quote" button that's at the upper right hand corner of the post you want to quote. Then you can screw around with whatever's inside the quotes, correct spelling, attribute stuff to people who never said it, that kind of thing. Kinda like bein' God except the god's names light up in green on the front page when they log in. That and the fact they can delete anyone's post without a trace, ban people, stuff like that.

As long as we light some incense at the alter and leave an offering of fresh fruit they seem to be happy.

I suppose that if you use one of the tabs at the top of the "compose" box you can get pics to show up. Link pics to whatever server you have 'em stashed on, hide the link, good to go! That's one way to do it. When I save up enough tubes to build another computer maybe I'll figure out another way.

[skyboltone]

It's an internet language dealy. My brain is fried on some kinda pills because I had a strip of flesh about an inch and a half long by 3/4" wide and 3/16" thick cut from the back of my thigh today. Reminded me of Hannibal Lecter about to fry up some breakfast laying there on the cart. Anyway, where was I, oh, I can't remember what 4 letter protocol starting with H that allows you to imbed stuff in forum posts. The language goes . Don't put a period at the end or it won't load. You can store stuff easy at Tinypic.com but be sure to use the e-mail link option or it's gone forever. No way to retrieve something you've posted without the link.

Anyway, all this money doesn't exist. That's the problem. Let's say you have an IPO selling a widget that gets real popular. You spend $1,000,000 on the plant to build it, spend another million on property and tangibles etc. So you got $2,000,000 in assets. The IPO nets $2,000,000 in capitol. That's called market value. But the stock immediatly trades up to $96 dollars a share and you sold a million shares, Where did the money come from? Only a few shares actually traded. Nobody actually ponyed up all that money. The inflation of the value of the company caused by speculators is called market capitalization. But the money doesn't exist. It comes from a place called "Money Heaven". So between the $300,000,000,000 mortgage bailout earlier this year, and the $7billion the bastards are asking for now, we go to Money Heaven and make a withdrawal of 1 trillion bux. That's just this year. So far we made a bunch of trips to Money Heaven and supposedly owe ourselves, or the Chinese, 10 trillion dollars.

So here's what the bastards will do next. They'll engineer a massive inflationary spiral that will reduce the value of those 10 trillion bucks to about a real $10.50 and lunch. And that means, I'll have to go back to work, and the rest of you will be on the work till you die program.

I say this whole debt thing can be solved easily. Nuk'em. This will cause a massive reallignment of the worlds monetary system. All debts disolve like after WW II and we start over with public hangings at the corner of Wall Street and Broad in New York. Then we put the mafia in charge of the SEC. We all know how they deal with people who break the rules. They couldn't steal us any blinder than the folks running it now, and besides they are better organized.

$149 dollar 18 watt knockoffs gotta go. With a bing and a bang and a boom.

My favorite Wall Street smoke and mirrors five card Monty is a thing they call "sophisticated instruments" as in, "We need time to assess the value of the 'sophisticated instruments' on (insert investment bank's name here)
balance sheet". Well a-duh, whut's a sufF-issticated instra-ment? Derivatives, credit default swaps, B.S. like that.

(Cue flashback protocol. Color goes sepia, overlay film scratches and dirt to indicate old material)

I was in a laundramat doin' my laundry a few weeks before Enron collapsed. Laundramats are a good place to pick up chicks, if ya got a sharp eye ya know just what you're gettin' into right up front. If she's washin' size 48 tidy-whities... don't ask. If she has three kids worth of baby clothes... consider the suitability of the information to your situation carefully and weigh yer risks wisely. On the other hand if she's got a dryer full o' exotic underwear and a couple piercings you might wanna look into it a little further.

Anyway... there on the table is a fairly recent issue of Business Week or something like that. They got a cover story about how Enron is a miracle company and it pulls money outta thin air and I thinks to myself, "BULLSHIT!" "I been chasin' after the Motherlode of the Golden Freebie my entire life, I ain't seen no money fer nuthin an' no chicks fer free" which ain't exactly true either. Every so often I literally trip over a nugget, a raw diamond, an opal sittin' in the tailings from a gopher hole, stuff like that. But like I said, "I grew up on a farm so I know bullshit when I see it." Sure enough, about a week later Enron did its Wile E. Coyote impersonation, a long drop off a sandstone cliff. "Powf!" at the bottom.

(end flashback)

Anyway: "Sophisticated Instruments", hell, we all know what those are. That's like the good ol' days where it took a couple days for a check to clear so you could open an account at one end of the street with a bogus check, take a walk down the street and start an account wif a starter check from yer shiny new account and so forth and so on. Might as well duck across the State Line before the whole thing comes around it bite ya in the ass and besides, when ya duck across the State Line it becomes a Federal offense. Better drama content that way! Good old fashioned check kiting. That's a "sophisticated instrument".

Next one, raise yer hand if you've done this: The first of the month comes around, rent is due. Check the piggy bank, piggy's got a tapeworm. Empty. Feed that sucker all ya want, Piggy's gonna be hungry. Still gotta buy groceries, buy gas and pay the rent. What to do? Well... peel off one o' those courtesy checks that comes wif yer credit card statement. Gas in tank, rent paid, grits 'n' gravy in yer stomach. Done deal! That's a "sophisticated instrument".

"So I go in my room, pack up my things and I go,
I slip on out the back door and down the street I go.
She a-howlin' about the front rent, she be lucky to get any back rent,
She ain't gonna get none of it!"

$149 dollar 18 watt knockoffs gotta go. With a bing and a bang and a boom.

And they will. Three years from now. It will take around that long for the amp to develop a cult following, websites will spring up to fix the blatant flaws and shortcomings of the amp. (which begs the question, "If it's a total POS why buy it in the first place?" 'Cuz it's CHEAP!) In three years we'll see the Rev 3 version which incorporates all the popular mods. That'll put the high end modders outta business, they were gettin' $699 for their Super Duper version which as it turns out is exactly like Rev 3. Normally in a saturated market a reduction in price can stimulate additional sales. In this case with the bar set so low from the get-go we gotta move on to The Next Big Thing once this thing is played out.

Yep that was a pretty steep debt back then (2006)...I guess Ronnie's Trickled Down Economic was'nt good enough. Remember "Just Say No"?

George's plan to send the Third Brigade to bulldoze Irak, only to hire Cheney's old firm to reconstruct Bazra surely helped all his flunky's.
Remember " Mission Accomplished " ?


Nuking Them means Nuking Us, so that is not an option. Worked in 1945 but these guys have stockpiled by now. They also have the kung-fu-thin-wasted-man-power WITH a NOTHING TO LOOSE MENTALLITY CAPER.

You can only fuck-up so far... Media is Owned...besides nobody is interested...too tired...besides Johnny will change all that, he's a Maverick...

20 years ago, Corporations...in an effort to "compete" (read = make more money) went to China, Thailand etc. to contract goods. CNC machine, labs, clean factories and what-have-you were built under said Corps Executive management. Employeees were properly trained to produce Viagra, Lipitor, Car Parts, Guitars, Milk powder etc.

"Trickle down" soon found it's way to Mafia's of all kinds, and, today one can walk the streets of Pataya, Thailand and buy any fake products, drugs, organs, women, boys, arms, Chanel, Ungaro, Watches etc. Hired killers are also easy to get cheap. Cambodia is even cheaper and poorer.

Every one willin' to make a buck jumps right in and, pretty soon your home is the only genuine item in your life. Your toothpaste is bogus, your medecine is bogus, your car parts is bogus, your clothes are bogus, your medecine is bogus, your 50 year guitar collection is bogus, gas is bogus.

Nothing is lost, they will use any waste...they have found Formica in Powder milk recently and brick powder in Lipitor.

"Nuking Us" as in nuking Canada? I wouldn't consider it. Too many smokin' tit bars up there...

You can only fuck-up so far... Media is Owned....

Hey, pal... I am the media! They don't own me!

20 years ago, Corporations... (truncated) Nothing is lost, they will use any waste...

Aww... bloody hell!

At least they're recycling. "and that's a good thing!"

Hey SkyBolt, You could always trade into some cheaper real estate. Look at the bright side... we're all amp builders! You could always participate in the lucrative boutique amp market.

Seriously, we're all better off than some jagoff who works in sales at a domestic auto dealership and that's the full extent of his skill set.
