    Is Woody a bear? I thought he was at least temporarily bullish, like me.

    Vix Breaks through 40. First time it touches these levels since the end of September, beginning of October. People are becoming complacent and are willing to take on more risk hence the bleeding of treasuries today. When the December jobs number comes out the VIX will shoot back up and the longs will be raped

    Chivas, I want some of that roast cabrito for tacos!

    I’m off to start cooking for New Year’s Eve, so happy new year to The Blogfather Fly, chivas, Jake, Anton, Yogi and Boo-boo, ottnott, all the tabbed bloggers, the Laughing Crow, Granpa, Ass-Nap-Mike, Tmoe, mdawsz, Dpeezy, 4fl3x, LadyG, j, CAP, Employee8, recusancy, Q4, mrkcbill, … and I know there’s about 50 people I’m forgetting, please forgive me.

    It won’t take much for 2009 to be vastly better than the last several years for me, one of the good points has been finding this community here.

    Now, Boca doesn’t give me a personalized Happy New Year.

    Can anyone please tell me how people are posting links on the comment section? Like all the U tube links?

    I just noticed that ‘ names’ that are underlined actually link to a photo . I am assuming that under ‘ leave a reply’ after you type in your email that you could type in a website or a link to a photo on the next line and that would do what? Would that cause your name to be underlined as the website/link in the enter box is linked to your name and shows up dark and underlined?

    If so then that does not help you post a link inside the box. I have experimented typing in a random website inside the posting box and hitting enter but it does not underline the website telling be a link has been created.

    I would like to understand the process.

    Thanks for the help

    Fly, this tune, you know the year it was done? Just wondering if the Clash’s ‘Guns of Brixton’ is a cover (probably)… I suppose I could research it myself, but I thought you being the ‘master of time, space, and dimension’ most everyone here seems to revere you as you wouldn’t mind parting with just a smidgen more wisdom for my enlightenment. Besides that, I am lazy Gorilla. Not a bear or a bull, but one frickin big ass Gorilla, and I am starting to shake off my torpor.

    Our winter place is an easy 2 hour drive from the Las Vegas Strip…20 minutes from Laughlin. Been there, done that…many times. Not anymore, no way, no how.

    Will do what we’ve done for the last several years: share a very small jar of caviar and a bottle of cheap champagne. In bed by 10ish so as to be ready for Bowl games tomorrow.

    Here’s to a better ’09 for all…Cheers.

    The link address process is the same for Youtube.

    It’s too bad, as we used to be able to throw vids right into the comment section, but some asstard started hacking the site, so Fly had to take it down.

    As far as finding the right vid content, that knowledge you have to have in your head, but I’ve found the Youtube search section helps if you have a vague idea of what you are looking for.

It is hard to imagine why you bother, but for those of us who are workin’ for the man, this site makes it go down a lot easier.

    Can’t wait for Obama rally, followed by OJ sneaking behind him and pulling a “nicole brown” on longs.

    Happy New Year everyone. Lets get drunk and throw darts at a poster of Kneale.

    Normally I’d be drinking a $12.99 bottle of Corbel right about now, but I bought eight shares of AIG instead. Next year at this time, when it goes back to $60, I can afford two cases of the bubbly.

    HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!!
