He has 'third party candidate' written all over him.

I was thinking we already had one of those.

/high-five Stang and Shad Keeping all that old gear did have an advantage. Eh, comrades?

Souls anyone?

PvE and PvP guild rankings would have been AWESOME for us about 2 years ago when we had extremely strong representation in both. Right before BC, I think it would have read something like: PvE- 6th PvP- 1st =D

Dude needs a friend.

HAHA. Looks like a young Wilford Brimley cat. DIBEETUS!

Can't you guys just keep sharing Benny? He's almost housebroken.

The size of the rest of Iceland's economy leaves very little slack to deal with their situation. Their GDP is roughly $19b compared to the roughly $14t of the U.S. Maybe I'm not using the right lens to look at the situation but those numbers make me think we have more flexibility to come up with solutions. Solutions like, I don't know, a nearly $1t bailout package. I understand that money is mostly borrowed but it was lent betting on the strength of the economy to rebound. I honestly think that we are near the bottom of this problem. I'm not saying we won't lose another 1k off the DJIA but I think the wild fluctuations this morning were the market equalizing a bit as it approaches the lower limit. I guess we'll see in a couple of hours when the foreign markets open. I think we are through the worst of the drops and the market will settle out in the 7500-8500 range for at least a month. After the election when the future is a little more certain, you will start to see it creep back up and maybe hit 11-12k again in July-Sept next year. That or the market will crash and we will all go back to the barter system.

>.> I had to make sure I had a break in classes from 12 to 1 for that same reason.

It is the time of year when alot of people around here hear out to the streets of scenic Evansville for the Annual West Side Nut Club Fall Festival. Yeah. I said Nut Club. http://www.nutclub.org/ People around here like to brag that it is the second largest street festival in the country behind Mardi Gras but I can't confirm that. It's a good place to find just about anything you want to eat, provided it can be battered and deep-fried. The most memorable thing I associate with this is that my friend from Detroit went with his family when he lived here and dubbed it the "Mullett Fest." I've been twice in my life and will attest that this name is pretty descriptive. Anyway, like I said in another post, I am bored and killing time before Calc. I know there are some people that rely on this forum to keep from killing themselves at work (I'm looking at you Joey) so I thought I would share.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27113959/ PHNOM PENH, Cambodia - A couple in rural Cambodia has terminated their 18-year marriage with a divorce settlement that entailed sawing in two the wooden house they once shared, villagers said Friday. The husband, 42-year-old Moeun Sarim, has taken away with him all the bits and pieces of his half a house, said his 35-year-old wife, Vat Navy. "Very strange, but this is what my husband wanted," she said by phone. ps. Got out of Econ early and I'm bored so I will share all news with you.

Really? You think the worldwide market is going to collapse? I don't think it will but hell, I've been wrong before. $50k wrong so far this year (accounting for today's losses, Shad). But I think at some point all those people on Wall Street and the rest of the world will look around and think "HOLY SHIT! That stock I bought and sold 5 months ago for $50 a share is sitting at $15 now and I know that their business model is still strong. BUY BUY BUY!" I just don't see the profiteers letting stocks go too low before they start getting a little freer with their money. As soon as the Treasury starts getting more liquidity to the banks (which I understand to be soon), I imagine the market will breathe a little easier too. I don't think it will rally 1500 points in a day or anything but I don't think we will lose triple digits everyday either. Hell, we might see an actual gain. I'm no economist but I act like one between 11 and 11:50 every Mon, Wed and Friday.

That first picture looks like Tron and Magister's Terrace hooked up. I will never play another MMO but if I did, it would be a Star Wars one.

YOU BASTARD!!

I can't really see it going below 7k. I am basing that on the 'flip a coin, roll a 20 sided die and /random 100" method so it's a pretty safe bet. ps In before Hykos starts calling everyone Marxist.

I believe the secret code is 2-3-5. Learn it. Love it.

Happy Birthday Ed-burrrr.

I agree with the ultra rich paying their share but 50% is insanity. If it takes hitting people making $40 million a year with a slightly higher rate than someone making $12000 to keep the majority prospering, then so be it but it shouldn't be unnecessarily laborious. I don't support a huge redistribution of wealth but when the deck is stacked so egregiously against the less fortunate, something needs to be done to level the playing field. Hard work, education and intelligence are no more exclusive to the rich than the opportunities that they are given to acquire and showcase them. But companies bitching about 'the 2nd highest corporate tax rate in the world' doesn't really hold water when most of them slide through loopholes in the system that makes it more like the 2nd lowest tax rate in the world.

The new one is over 2/3 of a mile tall. You know that MTF will sway. XD That would be a trip.

OMFG! IT DIDN'T WORK IMMEDIATELY!!! WUTRWEGUNNADOOOO?!? I think what happened today is a product of foreign credit markets as much as ours. And I guess they should get to finish writing up the actual plan before it can start working.

Happy Birthday EJ!

Whatever this is, it has a vicious case of man-hands.
