So did you see this craziness with the movie critic Roger Ebert and the deceased Ryan Dunn? Ebert tweeted yesterday, “friends dont let jackasses drink and drive”, and you wouldve thought Ebert killed Dunn himself. Dunn, being this cat who killed himself and his passenger, traveling at high speed, in his Porsche, and wrapping it [...]
In The "No! Really?!" Department, Today
I see that cat from the show “Jackass Assclowns”, oh wait, maybe that wasn’t the name of it, but it should be, got killed in a car accident. On a account of him driving his Porsche into a tree. While killing someone else in his car. While allegedly bombed at 3 a.m. Really? I wouldve [...]
85% Off Sale in Vegas
So vegasinc.com is reporting that a tract of land, 23.52 acres to be exact, on Hacienda Avenue and the Las Vegas Beltway (off the “strip”, but not terribly far), in Las Vegas, Nevada, has been sold for $4.4mm. Does that seem like a lot of money to pay for some dirt, in an around laundromats [...]
Two Unrelated Birthdays? Nope
So a very happy birthday to “Big Blue”, the International Business Machines Corp, or just plain old IBM. Yep, 100 years “young” today and still going strong. I even worked there when I was in college as an intern. Smart folks at that company. I can remember later on, how the Wall Street guys used [...]
Go South, Young Man
So a little birdie has whispered in my ear to check out the offerings of some less well known towns in Florida. And by offerings, I mean real estate. And by less known towns, I mean Gainsville, Tallahassee, and Jacksonville. All 3 of these places seem to have one common denominator, there are PLENTY of [...]
Hey Stocks Were Up!
Well, well, well, will you look at that? Stocks actually finished up yesterday, for the first time in awhile. Hey, it was bound to happen based on the poundings they have taken in the past 6 weeks. We’ll stay on the short side of things, thank you very little, and NOT believe the hype, that [...]
Hang In There Mr. Bolling, We Got Your Back
When Eric and I began this venture of the blog and other media projects way back in the fall of 2007, we got noticed immediately for waving our arms in the air and saying the “world was going to end”. It didn’t, but it came about as close as you can. At least in the [...]
Competitive Business Practices
Well folks, just like the big throwdowns between Coke and Pepsi back in the day, the NY Post is reporting a new kind of corporate war. Oh yes. “Breast-aurant Battle” shows there’s a new gang in town trying to steal some of the ever popular commerce from the old American standby, Hooters. Yep. 2 young [...]
Cheer Up, Pally
Why the long face? Ohhhhh the stock market is down. Again. Well that shouldn’t bother you right, because last week we told you stocks were going to get crushed like we hadnt seen in a while, right? You listened right? And if you didn’t, maybe you should think about reading another blog. We don’t know [...]
Lotsa Horseplay
Ok it is now 100 degrees in the early afternoon in NYC. I have decided to leave the sweltering heat, hop an airconditioned train, and head to my sister’s house in Westchester. You may remember that they belong to the “club”? This is great stuff for city slickers like myself on days like today. See [...]
