THANKSGIVING DAY DINNER IS CANCELED

Dear Sir,

I regrettably inform you that  your dinner invitation to Le Casa del Fly has been revoked.  There will be no turkey legs served at the great manor on Thursday. Instead, we shall dine on hotdogs and sauerkraut, preparing for the troubling days and weeks ahead.

I hope you understand this to be a slight against your personhood. True enough, I never liked you much anyway. You drink too much wine and your breath smells of a sheep ass.

Good Day,

Fly

    Lol!!! The hits keep coming..More firms will come out of the woodwork!! Don’t be fooled..NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — More than $1.2 billion in customer funds might be missing from bankrupt brokerage MF Global, nearly twice previous estimates of the shortfall, the trustee administering the firm’s bankruptcy said Monday.

    Some might be thinking… “I’d rather have a foot long weenier than a turkey leg.”

    Personally, I wanted my turkey day rally. I’m not much of a hotdog fan.

    Uninvited socialist guests at our dinner party will be served heavily peppered (sprayed not sprinkled) to the delight of the guests of honor. All vagrants shall sit in their seats of disgust with their heads lowered and enjoy handfuls of pineapple stuffing thrown upon their person.

    Oy vey Neighbor Fly. Stop with the mishegas. I know you are doing your shtick but you should tell your readers that the Fly family is coming to our house to nosh on Thursday. The Empire Turkey is defrosting and Mrs. Steve and Mrs Fly are deciding who is cooking what. Juan and your other illegal gardeners are also coming over with bollilos, pumpkin soup with chorizo, and tequila drenched stuffing. Even Old Man DeLuca will be there and he has promised not to burb and pass gas at the table.
    And I promise not to sell you insurance.

    Thank God. I’m going to assume that Thanksgiving at my sister’s is canceled also. I won’t have to listen to my brother in law brag about his new generator, 200 inch plas-orgasmic TeeVee set, or his 72 new Blu-rae [sic] movies.

      I hope this time they give us more of a rounded bottom than that rediculous (sic) v-shaped thing we had that first week of October.

    Fly, do be aware that it doesn’t matter who we vote against. It matters who we vote FOR.

    We have tried the solution of “throwing the bums out” repeatedly. Unfortunately the people we then voted FOR were financed by the same Special Interests Groups as the people we voted out of office.

    We need to change the system of campaign finance. Of course current members of Congress won’t vote to do that. So we have to find honest competent folks who pledge not to accept one cent of Special Interest Group money, and ask them to run for office and support them. And write them into the ballot if necessary.

    The folks on the ballot are usually all fund raisers with no interest in true public service or competently operating a government.

    I’m fine with the kibble.

    And please, don’t sit me too close to George Hamilton this year. He keeps trying to stroke me and asks things like, “how long I can hold my breath?” and “how much does Richard Gere weigh?” and “can I fit in the same size holes as rats do?”

    Creepy old dude…

        I bought a very tiny amount of RIG in the 44-range as a lotto. The most recent Q sucked because of costs related to new regulations on drilling equipment.

          I think if JAG goes into the low $7s it’s a good price for a company wanting to be purchased at $9.30 a share. I’m long JAG.
