Oh whaa, aren't you the sensitive plant? Of course not, sieg heil, your majesty!

[cloasters]

As the scales fall from our eyes our lives may change in ways we'd rather not have to experience before we're really ready. And a big thank you to the pigs from Uranus! Want to get that out of the way before the screaming starts.

[cloasters]

What screaming? How Uranus? Clarification, please. Clarified butter, oh yes. Lobster in New England? With a little bit of luck..

[cloasters]

Time to get serious. Hold on a minute, argh missed that train of thought. Is your PC's case as elegant as possible? If not, who you gonna call? The giant Stay-Puff man? Are you sure you want him in front of your house? Alright then, sorry I asked.

I imagine that AMD's financials must be very depressing. Then again, I don't own any stock in them. Or any at all, come to think of it. Que lastima.

Anyone buy furniture from Ikea, and live to tell the tale? I'm considering some bookshelves.

We all know where cloasters gets his insane post count from now.

Thank you, cloasters, entertaining as always.

On the topic of this thread, however. Would it be somewhat cheeky and/or rude and/or greedy of me to ask for 3 badges? =P

[cloasters]

Just send me a PM, please. All will be revealed.

Ever get that sinking feeling? My bank has lost 90% of its stock price over the last year and closed at $2.11 today. I'm lazy and don't feel like moving my account. Guess I better withdraw $300 today and tomorrow via ATM. Some walking around money might be smart.

[PorPorMe]

Ask Gizmo to go with you, that might be smart too.

[cloasters]

Gizmo hasn't mentioned that he's going to his bank, AFAIK. Think I'll drag another 300 bones out tomorrow. Dunno how long it takes for a bank to become usable after it gets FDICed. Those folks in California were very unhappy after whatchamacallit, Indymac? went bust. Does it help to have strong faith in all things American?

[PorPorMe]

Depends on the situation I guess, ask the mugger. If he's not in a hurry, he might chat.

Saints preserve us from violence against our personages and property.

Might be a good idea to carry two wallets. One for cash, the other for cards? Handing over the cash promptly has been known to help avoid bruises or worse.

Patti and I are moving a bit of the bit we have into a safety deposit box for a few months while we decide how stupid we want to be as nation...Couldn't hurt...sigh

[cloasters]

You might think about changing it into Canadian bucks. Then you could bribe your way into Canada more easily if that becomes the way to go?

[cloasters]

Speaking of safety deposit boxes.... First, they are not owned by the bank that they are situated in. Second, two or three ounces of gold bullion was removed from my box in a WaMu branch. Lovely. Since that disappearance I've put not one piece of anything into the box, even though I thought that a turd was appropriate. WTH am I still paying for it?
This is a true story. Ignore it at your own risk.

[cloasters]

Was that a rich guy complaining about thievery? It took years to amass that gold!

[cloasters]

All this talk about money. The shame of it! All the same, if you can afford(and can find) 100 ounce bars of silver, buying a few wouldn't hurt.

Three months until Christmas. Many folks are pressed for funds these days. Massa Bush wants to drain the last penny out of our pockets before he moves to Paraguay. What a guy!
