  1. This whole concept of marriage for love is a relatively new thing. Marriage used to be a business transaction. "Here, take our daughter off our hands, and here's a goat and some cabbage to sweeten the deal." Now it's a friggin' $40 billion industry. I know I'm a cynic, but I just spent $300 on airfare/hotel for a wedding in two weeks. I still have to get the gift. And I actually LIKE these people.
  2. Those are good burgers, Walter.
  3. That's who I would have voted for. The other conspicuous omission is White Castle. They made a movie fer cryin' out loud!
  4. They tend to smell like cabbage/be carnies? /Austin Powers'd
  5. You know what would be cool? If Richard Armitage played Richard Armitage. I don't know if he has that kind of range, though.
  6. That video jumps the shark at the 0:56 mark. There's something hopeful, yet helpless about this song.
  7. [Paraphrasing] "If pot was legal, I'd smoke all day. Wait... what am I talking about? I smoke all day, now!" - Redman
  8. Really? Other than I do not see another sentence 'defending Cramer'. To me it looks like some observations are made regarding Stewart's claims. The disclaimer that the end was for people who believe that the world is make up of the 'black and white'.
  9. This was mentioned in an episode of "Sports Night". Here's featuring Yeardley Smith. the voice of Lisa Simpson. Later in the episode, Dan tells Casey that Patty and Mildred Hill wrote the song and his response was "It took two people to write that?"
  10. Here's what I'd call an objective view on this whole thing: StreetInsider
  11. "WHAT... DOES... RYAN... HOWARD... LOOK... LIKE???"
  12. Travis Henry scoffs at all of this nonsense
  13. F ck me! My date in the pool was March 20th. I knew it would be after daylight savings, but I figured with the early sunset in Alaska... oh forget it. Oh and Jack... The Bills haven't been in the playoffs since your streak started. I'm not sayin' there's causation, but there's 100% correlation. I'm jus sayin'.
  14. I was considering using my laptop webcam to make a YouTube video about Facebook Twittering. Then the drugs kicked in, so I'm okay now. I think.
  15. Hey Tim - I'd love to hear Marv Levy's thoughts on this. Of course, Marv's a classy guy so I'm sure he'd avoid saying anything negative. I understand this move as a stab at selling some tickets. The economy dictates that the Bills make a splash to sell tickets. This is the biggest splash they could make. It's a business move, not a football move. Now the question becomes, does Trent Edward now score a hottie like Carmella DeCesare or Jessica Simpson (used to be)? There's a correlation between a QB having T.O. at WR and getting a hot girlfriend. I'm just sayin'.
  16. Wait... if in this analogy Heidi supposed to be a predatory lender like Ameriquest, then who is plays Alan Greenspan in this little morality fable?
  17. While I admit that I originally enjoyed HCs w/DBs, it lost its zeal for me when I realized how much of that content I had on my own PC. Guys... look at the pictures you have. Think about it. Every dude looks like a douche-bag when standing next to a hot chick. Jesus, even Clooney has an air of douche-baggery in those kinds of photos. That's just the way it goes.
  18. Just another Black Swan.
  19. I've posted this before: "So we knew it was going to happen, and it did. The Black Horsemen came and cut down the revelers, even those with the names of virtue engendered like Prudent and Faithful and American and Growth. If you entrusted your money to them at the end of the run, you were luck to keep half. That went, too, for banks whose headquarters were vaulted like cathedrals. Not only did the market go down, it kept going down - the popular averages disguised the extent of the decline. Another day it would come back, but not until the unscarred generation, so bold without memories, had become scarred like its predecessor."
  20. Silvia Wadhwa? Actually, she probably knows her stuff. She's obviously not there for her looks. I miss Liz "This Rack Went to the Sorbonne" Claman. Now that's a lady! Edit: Nope - Erin Burnett hasn't had anything done. Just looking at her on HBO now. She's another really, really great lady. Really.
  21. If you're including Becky Quick or Margaret Brennan in that statement, I'm going to come up there and kill you! BTW, the scuttlebutt is that Erin Burnett went and got herself some new boobies. [insert inflation joke here.] I look forward to the cage-match with Michelle Caruso-Cabrera.
  22. Especially in Iceland. Michael Lewis on Björk's homeland and its financial meltdown.
  23. Laziness. Do you know how many calories you have to burn to do due diligence? It's hard work, man. Hard, I tell ya. Plus, if we put the correct ratings on this stuff, they wouldn't be able to sell it, which means they wouldn't bring us more CDOs to rate, and then.... oh forget it - just stamp it AAA so I can get to the bar.
