You don’t even have to buy stocks; just go drink yourself into a stupor.
So you know, “The Fly” will be inebriated shortly, all thanks and praise to the beer Gods.

Fucked situation + rigged game = buy stocks (and get drunk)
I get it.
and prostrations to bacchus as well.
Careful which way you’re pointing when you “bow down” before Bacchus, especially late at night.
Mel Gibson’s Beaver – coming all over DVD and Blu Ray…following a very brief theatrical run.
Libations all around!
From the just thought you may want to know before the market opens department:
I haven’t read Barrons but just read a summary and it apparently has a story on the refiners (VLO,TSO,SUN, etc.) and it sounds negative.

I just hope it’s a nice, crisp, hoppy I.P.A. you are drinking and not some Miller swill or some other waste of calories.
Life’s too short for crappy beerth.

Colt 45: It works every time.
Nothing but Stone IPA will do. Ok, maybe a mojito.
Stone is very good, but if you can try Bluegrass Brewing Co.’s American Pale Ale (APA), there’s no ambrosia better…
…save maybe Bell’s Two-Hearted Ale, (7% ABV) which is also awesome.

Also, I just stopped by my local fine ales purveyor today and picked up a growler of Widmer’s Drifter Pale Ale, — verrah nice on a hot summer day.

Oh, I beg to diffa sir. What you seem to be caught up in can only be described as delusional mass hysteria. Pale ales and their hoppy counterparts have become trendy and have come to dominate the scene via the egregious success of Sierra Nevada. In reality, their overly hopped flavors are designed for the palate of the hoi palloi, not the Gods. Drinkers of such swill are no different from those that would drink Bud light from a can…that is to say, classless, or at most, middle class. If you want to imbibe a true nectar of the Gods, I recommend tracking down a sweet vessel of Aventinus. And when you do, show some class and drink it from a properly shaped glass.
the only ipa that bucks the trend is lost stoopid ale, via lost coast brewery…check it foolz.
correction: Hop Stoopid Ale
I’ve never claimed to be anything but 4th generation hoi polloi, and having been sampling micro brews (East Coast primarily) since the late 80’s I think I can say with equanimity that I’m past the “fad” stage.
In short, I know what I like, and its hoppy high AC stuff (Sierra Nevada is closer to Bud, IMHO), and you can feel free to fondle a goat, if that is what you’d prefer.

Also, talk about “trendois” — that Belgian style crap is even more nouveau than the IPA, which has at least made the leap to becoming more Americanized, with the APA.

Case closed!
Russian River in Sonoma?
They make very good champagne (“sparkling wine”) and zinfandel I know, but I’m not familiar w. their brews…
Thanks for the rec.

In downtown Santa Rosa – They also have a great selection of Belgians.
(Bring earplugs if you come at Happy Hour!)
My little bro lived in Windsor for a couple of years before moving to San Diego, and I’ve got a bunch of uncles and cousins in Marin.
As much shit as I give to California, I think I’d move to Healdsburg in a drop second, would that someone had ceded me a winery or even a nice patch o’ grapes.

Barrons can eat shit and die….you want a market mover? come try and take my drink away from me, I’ll short your sorry ass right into the pinksheets
interesting news for commodities markets, chinese state-owned-enterprises may default on commodities contracts for shits and giggles (caijing is reputable when it comes to internal Chinese breaking news, see their recent piece in the New Yorker)
mudkips…nice link
Neighbor Fly- I really don’t mind your singing the New York Mets fight song Meet The Mets over and over again but would you mind not tossing your empties on my front lawn.
And Mrs. Fly said please stop urinating on her roses. They have plenty of fertilizer.
Thanks neighbor.
METS SEASON OVER:
http://www.theonion.com/content/news_briefs/rare_centuple_play_ends?utm_source=a-section
UFC 102
lock n load:
Randy Couture over Nogueira
Thiago Silva over Jardine
Chris Leben ? Rosholt
Nate Marquadt over Damian Maia (unless Maia gets him on the ground, then buh bye)
Brandon Vera over that fuckin polock Krysinski or sumthin
under card is mostly done… Ed Herman only one i know on that and he’s no bargain
I got to Buffalo Wild Wings just in time to see Couture vs Nogueira. Great fight. Nogueira really looked tough. You think he’s got anything for Brock?
How were the earlier fights that I missed?
Brock is too big for Nogueira imo… He’s learned a lot recently to fend off his braz ju jitsu… A good example of this is Nate Marquadt last night. Maia is probably the best braz ju-jitsu fighter in UFC today but it’s tough to use when you got a face full of fist. I think Nate is a contender.
Thiago Silva is reaaaaaallly good (does Silva = Smith in brazil?) I guess you have to be tough to come out of the favella alive.
Leben fight was decent. I like him but the only reason he’s come this far is because his neanderthal head can take a punch.
Brandon Vera fight over Krystian Stinksinky was a good one too. I’m a big Vera fan.
Sheeeeeyittt…i wish i could pick stocks as well as i can outcomes of UFC fights (3 outta 4, not bad).
Fanhouse.com under MMA has some good coverage
RIP to my homie AM. If any of you know who he is you know he will be missed.

what happened to your bud? sorry for your loss 🙁
Crackhead, apparently.

He was sober for 11 years but had a rough time over the past couple weeks and relapsed, probably aided by the medication he was taking after the plane crash. Relapsing when your drug of choice is crack ain’t a good thing since you tend to think you can do as much as you used to. Sad deal but it is what it is at this point. I just wish his family well.
Do not wait for your gods, tin gods and beer gods to come to you in the shadow of clouds and with liberators (angels) in order to judge you and decide in equitableness (fairness) whether you will go into the fire of the shadow world (hell) or into heaven in their paradise (realm of gods, tin gods and beer gods); truly, this will not happen, because you will not return to your gods, your tin gods or your beer gods because they are inventions of your own without any power and without any existence and reality, but are only imagined, unsubstantial delusions.

My beer god says he’ll kick your Raelian god’s ass anyday. And he belched for emphasis.

With an entirely clear conscience one may call the “Raelian Movement” an imbecilic UFO sect. And now they are once again spouting off in a questionable manner. This sect, founded by French automobile journalist Claude Vorilhon, awaits the blessing of “Elohims” and praises the cloning of human beings. For a cool US $200,000 the UFO sect claims that it will clone humans. The project is part of the-end-is-nigh-ideology of Vorilhon, a clever and smart fisherman-of-the-faithful. The story of Vorilhon’s sect began on December 13, 1973. This date was also the alleged beginning of the “New Age” when, according to his claims, extraterrestrial entities who call themselves “Elohims” made a revelation to him. Vorilhon, who disseminates untruth, claims that these 1.20 m [4 ft] tall extraterrestrial super beings have visited him in their UFOs and designated him as their mystical conveyor of salvation on Earth. The lively bunch of little extraterrestrial men supposedly introduced themselves to him as this self-proclaimed guru’s foster parents. Vorilhon says the Elohims told him they began breeding terrestrials in their laboratories 13,000 years ago but their genetic gameplaying was not very successful, since an alleged inspection from space later revealed that Earth was in chaos. As a result, Vorilhon says, the Elohims felt sorry for their terrestrial wards who were irrationally bashing in each other’s skulls, holding wars, committing adultery, performing criminal or villainous acts, and disobeying their creators in other ways as well. Consequently, the creators had to come up with a rescue plan, indeed, an entire rescue mission, to save the depraved earthlings.
In 1975, when the Elohims purportedly revisited Vorilhon, they invited him for a quick outing through the cosmic spheres, where he allegedly had the opportunity to sit at the dinner table with ancient biblical personalities as he visited the Elohims’ home planet. There they divulged their plans to “Rael,” as they call him. Of course, these plans always fit harmoniously into his delusional assertions to which many thousands of believers have since fallen prey. Furthermore, so claims Vorilhon, the aliens mandated that he establish a UFO sect, after which he and his followers, along with the terrestrial human population, would be allowed to witness the peaceful invasion by the Elohims near the turn of the millennium.
In 1974–telling rubbish and mad fantasies–“Rael” [aka Claude Vorilhon] wrote his book The Message of the Extraterrestrials– The Book That Tells The Truth. From the onset of his machinations he has also continued to hold lectures and various types of other activities, to which many of his faithful have succumbed. In 1994 he even went so far as to induce the Swiss Raelites into demanding that the Swiss government grant diplomatic immunity to the Elohims. And in order to receive the Elohiminal extraterrestrials in style on Judgment Day, Rael’s followers simultaneously presented model plans for an ambassadorial residence for the aliens which the fanatically faithful Raelites intended to finance to the tune of 6 million Swiss Franks [approx. US$ 4 million]. In his reply to the strange demands of the sectarians, former Federal Council Otto Stich whimsically queried them as to how they intended to deal with the aliens at the annual New Year’s reception for all diplomats.
Once again in accordance with the false teachings of their guru, the Raelites now believe that through their human cloning project they will rapidly advance toward their goal to salvation. Together with their extraterrestrial Elohiminal foster parents, they vie for the salvation of the evil and degenerate terrestrials who are, so they believe, exceptionally degenerate beings, lost almost beyond hope, and total freaks within the entire universe. Hence, their objective is to remedy the many human shortcomings through cloning technology. The Raelites operate from a headquarter in Geneva, Switzerland; a base they established over a period of several years. In order to reach their imbecilic and deranged objectives, to put it mildly, the guru’s followers sacrifice 7% of their entire income, which adds up to quite a healthy bundle considering the sect’s membership totals somewhere between 20,000 and 40,000.
All of you are a bunch of drunks. I am working hard – doing research – trying to bank coin. What is the new WalMart being pumped by the Motley Fools? I need this stock or I may have to sell my car.
Lost Coast Brewery’s ‘Great White’ is an unreal beer.. but if not that, then there’s a Guinness in my hand. Where I live (Vancouver) the local ‘cool’ beer stores are trying to pump up Brooklyn lager and that Rogue beer, which is coming in at around $9.50 a bottle- yikes.
Brooklyn Lager is brewed by my friend Peter Matt’s older bro in the FX Matt Brewery, Utica, New York.
Aging swill hounds are probably more familiar with their “Matt’s Beer Ball” — a staple of many a drunken softball game and tailgate.
It’s not great stuff, but they are nice people.
