Mystery Potatoes

Without the adventure of buying and selling stocks for sport, things around here are rather bland. I’ve eaten numerous bowls filled with oatmeal, tossed a football around, contemplated riding a bicycle around town; but that’s just plain stupid. Mrs. Fly keeps my on my toes, having directed yours truly to not just one but three shopping institutions yesterday, where she managed to spend a little over $1k on things that make no sense. Truth be told, she must have been a very wealthy individual in her past life. Should my income somehow dry up, I’ll be on the street with a tin Tiffany’s can in no time at all.

Thank God us Wall Street fat cats keep the water flowing with money.

In case you were wondering, yes, I am waiting for the consistency of my oatmeal to firm up right now. I have a hideous wooden bowl next to my absurdly large Apple laptop and the water is being absorbed by the oats, as you read this. Generally speaking, I eat like a horse, without the luxuries of sugar or fat. That shits for pussies. “The Fly” is going to live forever, immortal, so he must eat a certain way. For example, lots of you ham and eggers chow down on steak tips with potatoes. But are your tips grass fed and where the fuck did those potatoes come from?

Like the government, I don’t trust farmers. Fuck farmers.

If you came here looking for some sage advice on the markets, slow your roll. I’m not into that sort of shit today, so you might as well fuck off.

Sometime today I am heading out to Whole Foods, where I get to buy a few brown bags of organic goods for a G. Even worse, I travel 45 minutes to get there, since this fucking Island that I live on doesn’t have a WFMI. It’s always an adventure, trust me.

    Grass fed beef is the shit. Don’t overlook the less tasty bit as well… Liver is a fucking multivitamin. Only pussies refuse to eat liver.

    Whole Foods coffee is excellent as is everything else they have there. The To Go boxes fit perfectly thru my prison cell bars.

    Chill on the farmer hate — we’re not all growing shit food!

    Have you heard of aquaponics? For food. Not weed.

    Absolutely amazing that none of these creative minds have mentioned carpet grazing-no calories consumed, only expended, satisfying beyond mere hunger, benefits too many to list. Vive le moustache ride!

    Fresh grown food, or as close to it as you can get,is great.

    I can’t blame anyone who doesn’t trust farmers– at least the big corporate kind with their Monsanto genetically modified seeds, over-use of dangerous chemical pesticides etc.

    Fly, you should really consider moving to Texas. I’ve got a WFMI 2 blocks away, but a Central Market is being put in just 1 block away, even better. Now Mrs Slim can buy twice as much overpriced food from ‘local sources. ‘

    Isn’t there some irony in driving 1.5 (45 each way) to go to Whole Foods?

    Avoid the spicy lemonade!

    Here’s an proper metal tune disguised as a Ron Paul promotional video disguised as an expose on the Council on Foreign Relations.

    Apparently old Ron is the only candidate who is not a member of the “evil ones”.

    $GS in deep doo-doo. Dropping hard in afternoon trading. How far will it fall? I could see selling accelerating if they get down to 52 week low.

    You need to upgrade your lodgings posthaste!

    I can literally walk to the WFMI around the corner from my house and load up with organic veggies and grass fed steak. Amen.
