I watched a bunch of geniuses deep fry a turkey in the parking lot of the Ralph last year before the Jets game. They filled the !@#$ing thing to the top with oil, got it hot, then dumped still frozen bird. Oil was overflowing from the get go, running all over the parking lot, and dripping right into the flame. We were parked about 3 spaces down. I still cannot believe that these dumb !@#$s didn't start a grease fire and engulf a few people and cars. I had our party basically packed up just in case.

New York Bans Fracking
Jauronimo replied to Trump_is_Mentally_fit's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Everyone who has no idea how far we are from alt energy sources fulfilling our energy needs is certain that alt energy should power their community and they all agree that they don't want unsightly and loud turbines in their community. -
I think we all know that guy. I had some dude tell me about how he eats the hottest stuff available and laughed at me when I said xyz sauce was hot. I let him sample some insanity sauce. He cried. Capsaicin releases endorphins. Eating spicy food gives you a rush and afterward you crave that sensation again.

New York Bans Fracking

http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2014/09/15/faulty-gas-well-pollute-water/15631955/ Drilling a well is akin to fracking like every financial institution in the country is Wall Street. -
New York Bans Fracking
Jauronimo replied to Trump_is_Mentally_fit's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Fracking is only controversial because the term is now used to mean any part of the oil/gas extraction process. Not a single study has linked fracking to contaminated ground water. I eagerly await the deluge of articles citing pollution, methane and water contamination which prove my point that drilling a well and maintaining a well are not "fracking". -
Shanahan got fired for totally screwing the Broncos cap situation. Cutler had nothing to do with that. McDaniels heavily pursued Matt Cassell in the offseason and was shopping Cutler before the two had seen their first game together. Once that went public McDaniels and Cutler couldn't work together. McDaniels turned that whole team over, had rifts with all their big name players, moved up to get America's favorite talking head on the SEC network and had a putrid record which got him fired. Maybe you can pin the Trestman firing on Cutler in a few weeks, but unless you have an obvious agenda you wouldn't make a case for the other two.

Which was worse? Anchorman 2 or Hangover 2
Jauronimo replied to Maury Ballstein's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I liked the part of that movie where the actors started playing themselves and then you find out that nothing really happened and it was all a big joke on the viewer. What a twist!!! -

Theres even less stopping you from registering for the CFA program like meazza and I did. No MCATs to take, no school admissions board, just the nominal registration fee and understanding of the material. Finance is the ultimate meritocracy. No one cares where you came from. Can you make money? -

Sadly, hes not alone. People describe hedge fund managers like Bond super villains operating out of volcano lairs fleecing the world with super computers powered by black magic. It would be nice if they at least leveled the right criticism against hedge funds with their algorithm based trading. Heres a good piece: http://blogs.wsj.com/moneybeat/2014/09/04/hfts-circus-market-and-a-dash-for-trash-fund-manager-lets-loose/ Meanwhile, the methods employed by the most famous and arguably most successful investor of all time, Buffet, are about as sexy as a xanax fueled, missionary position romp through a hole in the bed sheet. -

Its pretty funny on many levels. Especially so when considering historical hedge fund fee adjusted performance. I'd say the only people being exploited by hedge funds are the super wealthy individuals paying 2 and 20. -

I'm throwing in the towel. Everything I've written has been dismissed as nitpicking based on semantics and showing off. He makes no effort to educate himself. I'm now of the opinion that farmers are destroying the country because of GMOs, DDT, Monsanto, run off from Tyson chicken farms, illegal immigrant labor, sexual harassment suits at John Deer, ecoli breakouts, the depleted water table in the San Joaquin Valley, mad cow, and feed lots. Why didn't farmers recognize these issues and stop these things? -

Should the "Shout" song be played after a FG?
Jauronimo replied to smuvtalker's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Ha, was thinking something similar: Q: Should it be played after FGs? A: Well, do you want to hear the song or not? If anything we might consider expanding Shout worthy events. Maybe play it after really good punts? -

By what I've read here, I'm pretty sure some dude selling term life and annuities door-to-door is Wall Street too. -

How in the world is Goldman going to stop you from running up your credit card debt and taking out a 3rd mortgage on your home? Not every business in the financial services game is "Wall Street". If you're really interested in learning about the housing bubble at least go read The Big Short and learn who the players were and their respective roles. -
Bears may trade Cutler in offseason...
Jauronimo replied to RCOHEN13's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
So he'll fit right in. He can sit the team down around the camp fire and regale them with tales of the postseason. -

You should write an email to all the big institutions and educate them about concentration and the importance of diversification before our financial system collapses. The world needs to know!! At the very least, maybe these institutions could hedge their exposure to commodities somehow...but not with derivatives!! Those are evil.
