Thanks, Ebay. I was just coming down here to Hades to post something about Paulson. Here's a very talented rant about the conversion of GS and Merill Lynch to commercial banks. Don't click on the link if you can't abide bad language.

Monkeys Flying Out of . . . .

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '"')I bet it was unanimous. The investment guys know their days are numbered so they panic and throw themselves at the mercy of the thugs hoping to keep a piece of the action. What's not to like? To put this in perspective... imagine if Big Tobacco ran over to the FDA and said, "Tell you what... reclassify cigarettes as a drug delivery vehicle so you can regulate us. Whaddaya say?"

Ok... now why on Earth would these guys do that? Seriously.

[align=center]The decision means that the Goldman and Morgan Stanley will be able not only to set up commercial bank subsidiaries to take deposits, giving them a major resource base, but they will also have the same access as other commercial banks to the Fed's emergency loan program.[/align]

Oh baby... mo' money mo' money mo'money....

This is like a junkie saying, "Alright, I'm going to clean up my act. I'm going to get a job in a pharmacy."

The only silver lining here is that I finally know what it feels like when monkeys fly out of my ass... I gotta tell ya... it doesn't feel anywhere near as good as it sounds. The worst part is they are completely untrained. I wish they were trained, then I would be able to send my flying monkeys to grab up these bastards and dump them in a lake of fire somewhere."

What Up With 'Up'?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'L')overs of the English language might enjoy this. It is yet another example of why people learning English have trouble with the language. Learning the nuances of English makes it a difficult language. (But then, that's probably true of many languages.)

There is a two-letter word in English that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is'UP.' It is listed in the dictionary as being used as an [adv], [prep], [adj], [n] or [v].

It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP?

At a meeting, why does a topic come UP ? Why do we speak UP, and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends and we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car.

At other times the little word has a real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.

To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.

And this up is confusing:

A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.

We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UPabout UP !

To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP , look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takesUP almost 1/4 of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions

If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more.

When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP . When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it wets UP the earth. When it does not rain for awhile, things dry UP.

One could go on & on, but I'll wrap it UP , for now. My time is UP.

Oh...one more thing:

What is the first thing you do in the morning & the last thing you do at night?

U P

Don't screw up. Send this on to everyone you look up in your address book.

And don't let them tell you to "SHUT THE F*CK UP!!

I thought this might be as good a time as any to bump this up to the top in case, you know, in the event someone wanted to tell someone to Shut Their Big Fat Mouth.


I have one or two in mind already...

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('eastbay', 'h')eh, heh, heh... I just wanted to get a feel for what it's like to blast off some anger.

Oh yeah... that was nice.

Looks like you figured out a way to shut that cat up. I might try that on one of my kids in a little while.

[yesplease]

We should turn this into a lolcats (and others) thread.

[Revi]

Shut your flapping yap!

[yesplease]

[efarmer]

Many may wax poetic about shutting a dirty stinking filthy rotten trap,
but Mr. Bill not just talked the talk, he walked the walk, snapped
the yap, zipped the trap, froze the flaps, and so on and so forth ...

Mr. Bill gave world class pie hole when he was active, and
now that his intrepid labia have stopped hurling ordnance
and remain dormant, I stand dismayed at the low quality
of nattering, magpie cackle, drivel that fills the vacuum he left.

Someday, I hope I can say many smart and nice things,
and then shut up half as good as Mr. Bill did.

I therefore invite many of you jabbering buffoons to shut your
dirty stinking filthy rotten traps and set me an example so that
I might be inspired to join the ranks of the wise and silent,
or even those simply stricken dumb when they ran out of
bullshit.
